System information

8. Selecting the Special Category from the Add New Rules drop-down menu invokes

the Available Rules In Protected Category screen. Select the special functions you

are going to use by selecting Apply from the adjacent drop-down menu. The

Bridge/Router automatically configures the proper software portholes and blocks all

other functions.

9. The selected game, application, service, and special rules are added to the Firewall

Setup and Security Rules screen. Click on Save.

10. Select Local > Commands in the menu frame. Click on Save All Changes. Any

changes made apply only to the selected PVC.

If you require servers or services not already defined in the Bridge/Router, you can

define new rules. See Game Servers, Application Servers, and Services on page 24.

Change Route in Multi-PVC Configurations

Select Change Route from the Options menu on the Modify Existing Connection screen

to set a next-hop route for the connection, or a static route to an IP subnet that can be

reached through this connection.

This functions the same in a single-PVC or a multi-PVC configuration, except in the use

of the Default Gateway defined on the Local > Ethernet screen (see Changing the

Bridge/Router’s IP Address on page 20). In a multi-PVC configuration, Default Gateway

is the gateway of last resort: if there is no other route in the routing table, the

Bridge/Router sends the unknown packet to this gateway on whichever PVC is assigned

to the same subnet. However, if you configure a router address as a part of the DHCP

profile on the DHCP server, it overrides the default gateway when the DHCP client

receives its IP address. The same holds true if you check the box for Set Default Route

in the PPPoA or PPPoE setup screen.

You can tell if you have improperly configured a multi-PVC system by looking at the

routing table (Local > System Status > Route Table). If you have more then one route to

a destination of 0.0.0.0, it may be impossible to access the Bridge/Router from a remote

site. You must correct your DHCP or PPP configuration.
