ACCESS GATEWAY
136 System Administration
If the Access Gateway receives its IP address from a PPPoE Server, select the
Configure PPPoE Client link and enter the following parameters:
PPPoE Service Name - This is the Service-Name TAG. The maximum
allowed length is 31 characters.
PPP Keep Alive
• Echo Request Interval in seconds - Setting this to 0 will disable
echo requests from the NSE. The default value for this parameter is
30 seconds.
•
Maximum Missed Responses allowed - This is the number of
echo-requests that can be allowed to go without a response before
the NSE determines that the PPP link is down. This parameter can
only set to whole number above 0.
PPP Authentication
• Username - This is the username for PPP based authentication
required by your service provider.
•
Password - This is the password for PPP based authentication
required by your service provider. Max length for both username
and password is 128 characters.
IP Configuration Mode - This defines the IP address configuration mode for
the NSE. Setting this to Dynamic will obtain a dynamic IP address from PPPoE
server similar to DHCP client. Setting this to static will require manually
configuring IP address in the text box.
Maximum TCP MSS - Please note that this is the MSS not MTU. The
maximum value suggested by the RFC
is 1452.
7. Enter a valid IP address in the Network IP Address Field.
The IP addresses from subscribers that are on a subnet different from the Access Gateway
(for example, misconfigured) are translated by Nomadix’ Dynamic Address Translation
(DAT) patented technology to the
Network IP Address.
8.
Enter a Valid Subnet Mask in the Subnet Mask Field.
The subnet mask defines the number of IP addresses that are available on the routed subnet
where the Access Gateway is located.
9. Enter a valid default gateway IP address in the Default Gateway field.
The subscriber interface acts as a multifunctional “translator.” For example, if a
subscriber’s computer is setup statically for a network with a gateway address of
10.1.1.1, the Access Gateway emulates the gateway to accommodate this
subscriber while emulating other gateways to accommodate other subscribers.
