Chapter 5. Configuring the WAN Interfaces

73

Field

Description

Lower interface

IPoA interfaces are defined in software, and then
associated with lower-level software and hardware
structures (at the lowest level, they are associated
with a physical port – the WAN port). This field should
reflect an interface name defined in the next lower
level of software over which the IPoA interface will
operate. This will be an ATM VC interface, such as
aal5-0.

Peer IP Address

The IP address of the remote computer you will be
connecting to via the WAN interface.

Config IP Address
and Netmask

The IP address and network mask you want to assign
to the interface. If DHCP is enabled, this address
serves as a request to the remote computer’s DHCP
server, which may assign another address.

Gateway Address

The external IP address that the ADSL/ADSL2+
Ethernet Modem Router communicates with via the
IPoA interface to gain access to the Internet. This is
typically an ISP server.

Status

A green or red ball will display to indicate that the
interface is currently up or down, respectively. You
cannot manually enable or disable the interface; a
down interface may indicate a problem with the DSL
connection, or with the remote IPoA computer.

Action

Icons you can click on to edit (

) or delete (

) the

associated IPoA interface.
Not all settings are available on the IPoA Interface -
Modify page. To modify the other settings, you must
delete the interface and create a new one. Be sure to
submit and commit your changes if you make
modifications.
