6.3 Advanced Configuration
The Advanced Configuration menu is used to configure the gateway’s advanced
configuration parameters, and includes the following submenus:
 Network Settings (refer to Section 'Network Settings' on page 118)
 User Management (refer to Section 'User Management' on page 140)
6.3.1 Network Settings
From the Network Settings you can define the following networking parameters:
 IP and Ethernet settings (refer to Section 'IP Interfaces' on page 118)
 PPPoE parameters (refer to Section 'PPPoE' on page 122)
 IP static routes (refer to Section 'Static Routes' on page 123)
 IP dynamic routes (refer to Section 'Dynamic Routes' on page 125)
 QoS (refer to Section 'QoS' on page 126)
 QoS Source Classes and Packet Tagging (refer to Section 'QoS Source Classes and
Packet Tagging' on page 129)
 Access control list (refer to Section 'Access Control List' on page 131)
 Network address translation (refer to Section 'NAT' on page 134)
 Routing Information Protocol -- RIP (refer to Section 'RIP' on page 136)
 DHCP server, DNS, and SNTP clients settings (refer to Section 'Services' on page
137)
6.3.1.1 IP Interfaces
The IP Interfaces option allows you to configure the LAN and WAN interfaces.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can be enabled on the WAN interface using
the 'IP Interfaces' screen or 'Quick Setup' screen (refer to 'Quick Setup' on page 79). The
MediaPack can use DHCP on its WAN interface to automatically obtain the following
networking parameters after it is reset:
 IP address and subnet mask: mandatory parameters that are sent to the MediaPack
every time a DHCP process occurs.
 Default gateway IP address: optional parameter that is sent to the MediaPack only if
configured in the DHCP server.
 DNS server IP address (primary and secondary): optional parameters that contain
the address of valid DNS servers.
When the gateway is configured to use DHCP, it attempts to contact the enterprise’s DHCP
server to obtain the networking parameters. These network parameters have a ‘time limit’
after which the gateway ‘renews’ its lease from the DHCP server.
It the gateway is configured to use a static IP address, the default gateway must be
configured manually. For a detailed description on configuring the default gateway, refer to
Section 'Static Routes' on page 123.
