Customer IP Filter is different from Port forwards, or Block All traffic because they allow greater scopes of IP addresses to be included in the block. Apply: Click the Apply button to confirm your setting.
4.4.7 ADVANCED - LAN Clients LAN Client names are a way of applying specific Port-forwarding, Access Control and QoS rules to individual computers on the LAN. If DHCP is used, all DHCP clients are automatically assigned and are designated as a LAN client. Enter the IP Address, Hostname and MAC Address as shown. To complete and save the setting, click Save All after clicking the Apply button.
4.4.8 ADVANCED - LAN Isolation LAN Isolation provide blocking traffic from one LAN to another LAN. Place a check at the selected rules and click Apply to activate your setting. To complete and save the setting, click Save All after clicking the Apply button.
4.4.9 ADVANCED - Bridge Filters Bridge Filtering allows packets to be forwarded or blocked, depending on the MAC address. The Bridge Filtering configuration page allows you to set the configuration of MAC filtering. Bridge Filter ( Or sometimes known as MAC Filter ) enable rules to be defined which allow or deny data to pass through the Router based on the source and destination MAC address and data type of each data frame.
Dest MAC: This is the Destination MAC to block or to forward to. The Destination MAC must consist of 12 hexadecimal characters. Dest Port: Select the Destination Port from the drop down manual.

4.4.12 ADVANCED – Static Routing If the Router is required to serve more than one network, you will need to set up a Static Route between the networks. Static routing can be used to allow users from one IP domain to access the Internet through the Router in another domain. A Static Route provides the defined pathway that network information must travel to reach the specific host or network which is providing Internet access.
4.4.13 ADVANCED – Dynamic Routing Dynamic Routing makes use of the RIP Protocol to allow the ADSL2/2+ Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network. This 4 Ports ADSL2/2+ Router, using the RIP (v1 or v2 ) protocol, will determine the network packet route based on the fewest number of hops between the Source and the Destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other ADSL Routers on the network and is part of the IP suite.
4.4.14 ADVANCED – Access Control Use Access Control to configure advanced security functions by customizing the 4 Ports ADSL2/2+ Router.

Appendix A: Router Terms What is a firewall? A firewall is a device that protects one network from another, while allowing communication between the two. A firewall incorporates the functions of the NAT router, while adding features for dealing with a hacker intrusion or attack. Several known types of intrusion or attack can be recognized when they occur.
What is a Gateway? The Internet is so large that a single network cannot handle all of the traffic and still deliver a reasonable level of service. To overcome this limitation, the network is broken down into smaller segments or subnets that can deliver good performance for the stations attached to that segment. This segmentation solves the problem of supporting a large number of stations, but introduces the problem of getting traffic from one subnet to another.
Appendix B: Helps This section takes you to different Help Sections for Firewall, Bridge Filters, LAN Clients and PPP Connection. 1. Firewall: Help for Port Forwarding, Access Control, and Advanced Security. NAT and Firewall service (Section 4.3.3 : LAN Setup - Firewall/NAT Services) The DSL Router uses Network Address Translation (NAT) and Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Firewall to protect your home network.
Access Control (Section 4.4.14 : ADVANCED – Access Control) Open the access from the Internet (WAN) or LAN to the router's management ports (web, telnet, ssh, ftp, tftp, snmp). There are security risks associated with this action. For this reason remote management is restricted to computers on the network specified in the IP Access Control List that can hold up to 16 IP addresses. The Access Control List provides a global enable/disable that will enable or disable the ACL.
"Apply" button. The "Select All" select box can also be used to delete all the filter rule. It provides a quick method of selecting all filter rules for deletion. The "Enable Bridge Filters" button allow the user to enable or disable bridge filtering. It can be set/unset during any add/edit/delete operation. It can also be set/unset independently by just pressing the "Apply" button. Note: There are three hidden filter rules within the bridge filter table.
Keep Alive: When on-demand option is not enable, this value specifies the time to wait without being connected to your provider before terminating the connection. A non-zero value. Set Defaultroute: Specify connection as the default-route. MRU: Maximum Receive Unit the DSL connection can receive. It is an negotiated value that ask the provider to send packets of no more than n bytes. The minimum MRU value is 128.
Choose a connection: This field allows you choose a connection from the list of available connections. For e.g. choose a WAN connection to enable IP QoS for the Upstream traffic of the Modem. On the other hand choose the LAN connection (Ethernet and USB Bridged) for the downstream traffic.

Appendix F: Glossary The Glossary provides an explanation of terms and acronyms discussed in this user guide. 10BASE-T: IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring. 100BASE-Tx: IEEE 802.3 specification for 100 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring. 802.11b: IEEE specification for wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz. 802.
CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol: Typically more secure than PAP, CHAP uses username and password in combination with a randomly generated challenge string which has to be authenticated using a one-way hashing function. CLP: Cell Loss Priority: ATM cells have two levels of priority, CLP0 and CLP1. CLP0 is of higher priority, and in times of high traffic congestion, CLP1 error cells may be discarded to preserve the Cell Loss Ratio of the CLP0 cells.
FEC: Forward Error Correction: An error correction technique in which a data packet is processed through an algorithm that adds extra error correcting bits to the packet. If the transmitted message is received in error, these bits are used to correct the errored bits without retransmission. Firewall: A firewall is a method of implementing common as well as user defined security policies in an effort to keep intruders out.
IAD: Integrated Access Device: A device that multiplexes and demultiplexes communications in the CPE onto and out of a single telephone line for transmission to the CO. IP: Internet Protocol: The method by which information is sent from one computer to another through the Internet. Each of these host computers have a unique IP address which distinguishes it from all the other computers on the internet. Each packet of data sent includes the sender’s IP address and the receiver’s IP address.
NAT: Network Address Translation: The translation of an IP address of one network to a different IP address known by another network. This gives an outside (WAN) network the ability to distinguish a device on the inside (LAN) network, as the inside network has a private set of IP address assigned by the DHCP server not known to the outside network. PAP: Password Authentication Protocol: An authentication protocol in which authorization is done through a user name and password.
SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol: Used to govern network management and monitor devices on the network. SNMP is formally described in RFC 1157. SNR: Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Measured in decibels, SNR is a calculated ratio of signal strength to background noise. The higher this ratio, the better the signal quality. Subnet Mask: Short for SubNetwork Mask, subnet mask is a technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages into a particular network segment, called a subnet.
VC-Mux: Virtual Circuit based Multiplexing: In VC Based Multiplexing, the interconnect protocol of the carried network is identified implicitly by the VC (Virtual Circuit) connecting the two ATM stations (each protocol must be carried over a separate VC). VPI:Virtual Path Identifier: Virtual path for cell routing indicated by an eight bit field in the ATM cell header. WAN: Wide Area Network: A WAN covers a large geographical area. A WAN is consisted of LANs and the Internet is consisted of WANs.
