Chapter 7 Internet Setup Table 14 Interface Setup > Internet (PPPoA/PPPoE) (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Bridge Interface This field is only available when you select PPPoE LLC or PPPoE VC-Mux in the Encapsulation field. Use this field to enable or disable the bridge mode. Activate the bridge mode when your ISP provides you with more than one IP address and you want the connected computers to get individual IP address from ISP's DHCP server directly. Connection Setting Connection Select Always On (Recommended) when you want your connection up all the time. The ZyXEL Device will try to bring up the connection automatically if it is disconnected. Select Connect On-Demand when you don't want the connection up all the time and specify an idle time-out in minutes. The default setting is 0 minute, which means the Internet session will not timeout. Select Connect Manually to establish the connection only when you need it. Note: Do not specify an always-on connection unless your telephone company offers flat-rate service or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern. TCP MSS Option The TCP Maximum Segment Size (MSS) defines the size of the largest packet allowed on an interface or connection. Enter the TCP MSS in this field. In general, the TCP MSS is 1452. IP Address Get IP Address Select the type of IP address provided by your ISP. A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time you connect to the Internet. Static IP Address Type your ISP assigned IP address in the field. IP Subnet Mask Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation. Gateway Specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP). NAT Use this field to enable or disable Network Address Translation (NAT). Default Route Select Yes to direct traffic not listed in the routing table to the default gateway. Select No to drop traffic not listed in the routing table. TCP MTU Option The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) defines the size of the largest packet allowed on an interface or connection. Enter the MTU in this field. Dynamic Route RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. Select the RIP version from RIP1, RIP2-B and RIP2-M. Direction Use this field to control how much routing information the ZyXEL Device sends and receives on the subnet. Select the RIP direction from None, Both, IN Only and OUT Only. Multicast Multicast packets are sent to a group of computers on the LAN and are an alternative to unicast packets (packets sent to one computer) and broadcast packets (packets sent to every computer). IGMP is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group. The ZyXEL Device supports IGMP v1, IGMP v2 and IGMP v3. Select Disabled to turn off the feature. MAC Spoofing This field is only available when you select 1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux in the Encapsulation field. Use this field to alter the MAC address so that the PVCs on the ZyXEL Device can establish connections to the network. P-660R-Tx v3s User's Guide 61
