7.4.3.3 Security Tab
This tab controls whether the Security System and its subsystems will be enabled, and if so, the attributes for these
subsystems. Therefore, the user should note that if the Security is set to Disabled, the fields to Enable Firewall and NAT in
their tabs are disabled. Refer to the following figures.
Use DHCP to Obtain WAN IP
Address
If True, use DHCP Discovery to obtain the network-side IP address for the RG. If
False, static IP provisioning and IP/masks must be manually entered.
DNS Servers DNS servers associated with the DHCP discovery
Local IP address The IP address of the iMG/RG for the LAN that it services.
Note: This and the remaining fields are activated only when NAT is enabled
on the NAT tab.
Local Mask The masking for the local IP addresses. Usually this is 255.255.255.0 so that the
local addresses can range from 1 to 255.
Local DHCP Start IP Address The first address in the range for a local device in the local network. This possible
range must be derived from the Local IP Address and the Local Mask.
Local DHCP End IP Address The last address in the range for a local device in the local network.
Rate Limiting (CPU-based) Enable or Disable Rate Limiting
When enabled, the upstream and downstream attributes (Rate Limit, Burst Size)
are editable.
The downstream rate limiting applies to Internet VLAN traffic and is used for
wireless traffic because the downstream rates are applied on WAN port when the
traffic enters the iMG.
Upstream rate limiting applies to Local VLAN traffic which applies to LAN ports but
not wireless because classifiers are applied on the transport and the wireless
transport is not the same as LAN transport.
However, for certain wireless IMG 3.8 devices, you can configure the upstream rate
limits. Note that the NMS will use the same rate limits values that are currently set
for wired ports on wireless. The devices that support this are:
• iMG616-W
• iMG634-A-W-R2
• iMG634-B-W-R2
These fields can also be changed on the Service Management Form for
these wireless devices.
Scaler Represents the weight of each byte of data coming over the channel. The higher the
scaler value the lower the worth each byte of data is counted for rate limiting
purposes. This allows a more precise reflection of actual network traffic.
Copy values from profile To create a new profile, the user can select an existing profile, which will fill in the
values from that existing profile. The user can then modify any fields.
Create Activated when a Profile Name has been typed, it creates the profile with the
entered values.
Cancel Closes the window
