The CBA750B’s IP passthrough function takes the IP address of the attached modem and passes it through to
the LAN. By default, the CBA750B is configured for IP passthrough – the device ships with the
ROUTER/PASSTHROUGH SWITCH set to the I position (“O” is router mode; “I” is passthrough mode). Using
IP passthrough disables some of the device’s other router functionality.
There are three methods for setting up IP passthrough:
1) The
ROUTER/PASSTHROUGH SWITCH on the device itself is set to “I”. The I setting forces a complete IP
passthrough configuration with the following settings:
• Load balance is disabled; the highest priority WAN device is used.
• The Routing Mode is set to IP Passthrough.
• The Subnet Selection Mode is set to “Automatically Create Subnet”.
• If you have created secondary networks, they are disabled: only the primary LAN is enabled.
2)
In the administration pages, select GETTING STARTED ª IP PASSTHROUGH SETUP. This wizard will
force an IP passthrough configuration that matches the
ROUTER/PASSTHROUGH SWITCH settings shown
above.
3) For custom configuration, manually input IP passthrough settings in the administration pages (this is the
preferred method for network professionals). Go to
NETWORK SETTINGS ª LOCAL NETWORKS for most
of these changes. Depending on your settings, you may need to go to other pages as well.
NOTE: Changes in the administration pages can overrule the switch setting, AND vice versa (i.e. the most recent setting
changes are implemented, regardless of method). In the administration pages you can set the device to ignore changes to the
router/passthrough switch. This option is listed under
ADMINISTRATION ª SYSTEM SETTINGS under the “Local Manage-
ment” tab. Click on the “Disable IP Passthrough/Configuration mode switch” option.
