LAN (Local) Profile Setup
LAN (Local) Profile Setup
The LAN Profile is the largest, most detailed portion of the Router software. The fields
on this screen allow definition of how data transmission will occur on the unit’s LAN
port. This includes defining the protocol(s) that it will use to send and receive data,
defining security protocols, specifying which LAN servers and networks will be
advertised to WAN units, and establishing specific data filtering options.
The LAN profile is used in conjunction with the WAN profiles. The WAN profiles
identify which remote units the local unit can communicate with, as well as the data
transmission requirements of each remote.
In addition to the fields on this screen, there are several other areas that directly relate
to the communication abilities of the Adit unit. You may use the fields at the bottom of
this screen to access the following areas:
Defining static addresses at the local unit
Establishing static networks
Establishing Remote (WAN) advertising
Establishing DHCP Server/BOOTP Relay Agent parameters
Defining data filters
The Router can accommodate a maximum of 500 filters, such as those created when
establishing static routes or data filters. The following entries consume a filter:
Configured address, custom and protocol filters
Static IP networks and static IPX networks
Enabling any learned items listed on the Advertise Network/Server screen or
Filter Network/Server screen
Static IP and MAC Addresses
Firewall filters
In a large network, it is necessary to selectively use of each of these options so that the
number of configured filters is within the maximum allowed.
The Local Profile is used to define the Local (LAN) port parameters for the unit at the
present location.
