FiOS Router User Manual

DNS Server

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the method by which website or domain

names are translated into IP addresses. The FiOS Router can be configured

to automatically obtain a DNS server address, or the address can be entered

manually, according to the information provided by the ISP.

To configure the connection to automatically obtain a DNS server address, select

Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically from the “DNS Server” drop-down

list. To manually configure DNS server addresses, select Use the Following DNS

Server Addresses from the “DNS Server” drop-down list. Up to two different

DNS server addresses can be entered (Primary and Secondary).

Routing

Routing Mode Select one of the following two Routing modes:

Routet - Select this option to cause the FiOS Router to act as a router between

two networks.

NAPTt - Select this option to activate NAPT (Network Address and Port

Translation), which refers to network address translation involving the

mapping of port numbers and allows multiple machines to share a single IP

address. Use NAPT if the local network contains multiple devices, a topology

that necessitates port translation in addition to address translation.

Device Metric The device metric is a value used by the FiOS Router to

determine whether one route is superior to another, considering parameters

such as bandwidth, delay, and more.

Default Route Click in this check box to define the connection as the

default route.

Multicast - IGMP Proxy Default Click in this check box to enable the FiOS

Router to issue IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) host messages

on behalf of hosts the FiOS Router discovers through standard IGMP interfaces.

IGMP proxy enables the routing of multicast packets according to the IGMP

requests of local network devices asking to join multicast groups.
