User manual

If an Ethernet port is experiencing difficulties auto-negotiating with another device,

Ethernet Speed and duplex may be set manually.

On rare occasions, it may be necessary to change the Ethernet hardware or MAC

Address of your SnapGear unit. The MAC address is a globally unique address and is

specific to a single SnapGear unit. It is set by the manufacturer and should not normally

be changed. However, you may need to change it if your ISP has configured your ADSL

or cable modem to only communicate with a device with a known MAC address.

Interface aliases

Interface aliases allow the SnapGear unit to respond to multiple IP addresses on a

single network interface. This is useful for when your ISP has assigned you a range of IP

addresses to use with your Internet connection, or when you have more than one subnet

connected to a single network interface.
