TABLE 7-10 Create RG Internet Port Profile Form
Attribute Value
Profile Name A descriptive name that should match the service/function provided.
Note: Profiles that use the Access Island (AI) concept have the ‘Include
Internet VLAN in Profile’ set to False. For the Open Access (OA) model,
the field is set to True and a VLAN number can be entered in the ‘iMG/
RG Internet VLAN ID’ field (2..4094)
Example Names:
• BasicHomeInetAI (Security, and therefore Firewall and NAT disabled)
• BasicHomeInetOA (same as above but includes internet VLAN ID)
• BusinessInetAI (Security and Firewall are Enabled but any attributes
datafilled are not included as part of the Profile)
• BusinessInetOA (same as above but includes internet VLAN ID)
• BusinessStatic (Routed Service)
• HomeNetworkingAI (Security, Firewall, and NAT are Enabled and any
attributes datafilled are included as part of the Profile)
• HomeNetworkingOA (same as above but includes internet VLAN ID)
• Bridged Int Srv (Bridged Service)
Internet Service Type Bridged Service
Routed Service
Include Internet VLAN in
Profile
The value entered here depends on the network model:
False - The Access Island model is used, and the Internet VLAN Id field is blank.
True - The Open Access model is used, and the Internet VLAN Id field is activated.
iMG/RG Internet VLAN Id The VLAN that supports internet service.
If the ‘Include Internet VLAN in Profile’ is set to True, this field is activated.
Use PPPoE Determines if the PPPoE protocol is to be used to establish the connection
between the iMG and the ISP. With the PPPoE protocol, the iMG will broadcast a
Discovery Initiation packet over the network VLAN, and through negotiation the
PPPoE server will determine each other’s MAC address and Session ID, which
together define the one-to-one connection. Therefore, when this fields is set to
True, the Use DHCP to obtain WAN IP Address is deactivated.
TCP MSS Clamp When using the PPPoE client on the iMG, either the iMG or the PPPoE
concentrator/RAS should be configured to clamp the maximum TCP MSS value. For
PPPoE the maximum mss is 1452. Without this clamp, connectivity issues could
occur, and access to some websites could fail. Refer to the Software Reference
Manual for the Allied Telesis Gateway.
Internet MTU This does not appear on the Profile, but does show up on the Service Management
form. The MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit - the maximum packet size (in
bytes) an interface can handle. The MTU should be set to a value appropriate for
the transport attached to the interface (typically from 576 to 1500 bytes). Refer to
the Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family Software Reference Manual for more
information.
