Setup
Linksys
Transparent Bridge:
The feature will come in handy in when a company wants to add a firewall or
dual-WAN device without changing the IP addresses of the computers in its
intranet. This function will enable users to integrate existing networks without
changing the original structure. Select the Transparent Bridge mode for the
WAN connection mode. In this way, users will be able to connect normally to
the Internet while keeping the original IP addresses in the intranet.
If there are two WANs configured, users still can select Transparent Bridge
mode for WAN connection mode, and load balancing will still function as usual.
Specify WAN IP Address: Input one of the static IP addresses issued by
ISP.
Subnet Mask: Input the subnet mask of the static IP address
issued by your ISP, such as: Issued eight static
IP addresses: 255.255.255.248. Issued 16 static
IP addresses: 255.255.255.240.
Default Gateway: Input the default gateway of the static IP
address issued by your ISP. For ADSL users, it
is usually an ATU-R IP address.
DNS Server: Input the DNS IP address set by your ISP.
At least one IP group should be input. The
maximum acceptable is two IP groups.
Internal LAN IP Range: Input the available IP range issued by your
ISP. If your ISP issued two discontinuous IP
address ranges, users can input them into
Internal LAN IP Range 1 and Internal LAN IP
Range 2, respectively.
MTU (Maximum Transmission
Unit):
MTU is abbreviation of Maximum Transmission
Unit. “Auto” and “Manual” can be chosen. The
default value is 1500. Different value could
be set in different network environment. (e.g.
ADSL PPPoE MTU: 1492)
The default is “Auto”.
DMZ Setting
For some network environments, an independent configurable DMZ port
may be required to set up externally connected servers such as WEB and Mail
servers. Therefore, the device supports a set of independent configurable DMZ
ports for users to set up connections for servers with real IP addresses. The DMZ
ports act as bridges between the Internet and LANs.
Check Enable DMZ box and click the edit icon to configure DMZ port.
The DMZ configuration can be classified by subnet and range:
Subnet:
If the DMZ and WAN are located in different subnets:
If the ISP issued 16 real IP addresses: 220.243.230.1-16 with Mask
255.255.255.240, users have to separate the 16 IP addresses into two groups:
220.243.230.1-8 with Mask 255.255.255.248, and 220.243.230.9-16 with Mask
255.255.255.248 and then set the device and the gateway in the same group
with the other group in the DMZ.
