Chapter 10 WAN The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 22 Network > WAN > Internet Connection: IPoE Encapsulation LABEL DESCRIPTION ISP Parameters for Internet Access Encapsulation You must choose the IPoE option when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet. IPv4 / IPv6 Select IPv4 Only if you want the ARMOR Z1 to run IPv4 only. Select Dual Stack to allow the ARMOR Z1 to run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time. IP Address Obtain an IP Address Automatically (DHCP) Static IP Address IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway MTU Size DNS Server First DNS Server Second DNS Server Third DNS Server Select IPv6 Only if you want the ARMOR Z1 to run IPv6 only. Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the default selection. Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address. Enter your WAN IP address in this field if you selected Static IP Address. Enter the Subnet Mask in this field. Enter a gateway IP address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field. Enter the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size for each packet. If a larger packet arrives, the ARMOR Z1 divides it into smaller fragments. Select Obtained From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the ARMOR Z1's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns. Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. WAN MAC Address Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it. Once the WAN MAC address is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the configuration file. It will not change unless you change the setting or upload a different configuration file. Factory default Select this option to have the WAN interface use the factory assigned default MAC address. By default, the ARMOR Z1 uses the factory assigned MAC address to identify itself. Clone the computer's MAC address - IP Address Select this option to have the WAN interface use a different MAC address by cloning the MAC address of another device or computer. Enter the IP address of the device or computer whose MAC you are cloning. Set WAN MAC Address Select this option to have the WAN interface use a manually specified MAC address. Enter the MAC address in the fields. IPv6 Tunneling Use IPv6 tunneling when the local network uses IPv6 and the ISP has an IPv4 network. When the ARMOR Z1 has an IPv4 WAN address and you set IPv4/IPv6 mode to IPv4 Only, you can enable IPv6 tunneling to encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to cross the ISP's IPv4 network.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 22
Network > WAN > Internet Connection: IPoE Encapsulation
LABEL
DESCRIPTION
ISP Parameters for Internet Access
Encapsulation
You must choose the
IPoE
option when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet.
IPv4 / IPv6
Select
IPv4 Only
if you want the ARMOR Z1 to run IPv4 only.
Select
Dual Stack
to allow the ARMOR Z1 to run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time.
Select
IPv6 Only
if you want the ARMOR Z1 to run IPv6 only.
IP Address
Obtain an IP
Address
Automatically
(DHCP)
Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the default
selection.
Static IP Address
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
IP Address
Enter your WAN IP address in this field if you selected
Static IP Address
.
Subnet Mask
Enter the
Subnet Mask
in this field.
Default Gateway
Enter a gateway IP address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field.
MTU Size
Enter the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size for each packet. If a larger packet
arrives, the ARMOR Z1 divides it into smaller fragments.
DNS Server
First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Third DNS Server
Select
Obtained From ISP
if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information
(and the ARMOR Z1's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only)
DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select
User-Defined
if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right.
Select
None
if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a DNS
server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
WAN MAC Address
Once the WAN MAC address is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the configuration file. It
will not change unless you change the setting or upload a different configuration file.
Factory default
Select this option to have the WAN interface use the factory assigned default MAC
address. By default, the ARMOR Z1 uses the factory assigned MAC address to identify
itself.
Clone the
computer's MAC
address - IP
Address
Select this option to have the WAN interface use a different MAC address by cloning the
MAC address of another device or computer. Enter the IP address of the device or
computer whose MAC you are cloning.
Set WAN MAC
Address
Select this option to have the WAN interface use a manually specified MAC address.
Enter the MAC address in the fields.
IPv6 Tunneling
Use IPv6 tunneling when the local network uses IPv6 and the ISP has an IPv4 network. When the ARMOR Z1
has an IPv4 WAN address and you set
IPv4/IPv6
mode to
IPv4 Only
, you can enable IPv6 tunneling to
encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to cross the ISP’s IPv4 network.
