Task 2: Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces
Attribute Meaning
Remote
Management
Interface
To offer greater flexibility in IP address management, the
NAT-enabled SM’s configured WAN Interface IP address may
now be used as the device Remote Management Interface
(unless the SM’s PPPoE client is set to Enabled)
Disable: When this interface is set to “Disable”, the SM is
not directly accessible by IP address. Management access is
only possible through either the LAN (Ethernet) interface or
a link from an AP web page into the WAN (RF-side) interface.
Enable (Standalone Config): When this interface is set to
“Enable (Standalone Config)”, to manage the SM the device
must be accessed by the IP addressing information provided
in the Remote Configuration Interface section.
When configuring PPPoE over the link, use this
configuration option (PPPoE traffic is routed via the IP
addressing specified in section Remote Configuration
Interface).
Enable (Use WAN Interface): When this interface is set to
“Enable (Use WAN Interface)”, the Remote Configuration
Interface information is greyed out, and the SM is managed
via the IP addressing specified in section WAN Interface).
When using this configuration, the ports defined in
section Configuration, Port Configuration are consumed
by the device. For example, if FTP Port is configured as
21 by the SM, an FTP server situated below the SM must
use a port other than 21. This also applies to DMZ
devices; any ports specified in section Configuration, Port
Configuration will not be translated through the NAT,
they is consumed by the device’s network stack for
management.
Connection Type
This parameter can be set to:
Static IPwhen this is the selection, all three parameters
(IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address) must
be properly populated.
DHCPwhen this is the selection, the information from the
DHCP server configures the interface.
IP Address
If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN
interface, then this parameter configures the IP address of
the SM for RF management traffic.
