• Use Firewall:
Enable firewall protection.
• Use Attack Detection System:
Enable WAN attack protection.
• Use Universal Plug-n-Play:
Enable devices to discover and control each other via UPnP over the network.
• RIP:
Routing Information Protocol (For more information, see page 83.)
- Version 1:
Allows RIP version 1 to be
transmitted/received on the
selected interface. Currently,
RIPv1 is seldom used, but
supported on the SpeedStream
router.
- Version 2:
Allows RIP version 2 to be
transmitted/received on the
selected interface. This would be
the most common choice.
- Versions 1 & 2:
Simultaneously supports RIP
versions 1 and 2 on the selected
interface.
- Active Mode:
In enabled, the router will receive
routing updates on the selected
interface and will broadcast regular routing updates to other routers. If not enabled (default),
the router will receive routing updates on this interface, but will not broadcast routing tables.
NAT/NAPT:
Enable Network Address Translation (NAT) and/or Network Address Port Translation (NAPT).
For more information on using NAT and NAPT, see page 65. •
- Disabled:
Disable both NAT and NAPT (for example, if setting up static routes).
- NAT:
Enable NAT only and specify the destination IP address for incoming packets on the selected
WAN interface.
- NAPT:
Enable NAPT only to handle multiple addresses based on port forwarding rules.
- NAT & NAPT:
Enable concurrent NAT and NAPT
Note Depending on your configuration, NAT is sometimes enabled by default. Disable NAT only in
advanced situations where your ISP has assigned static IP addresses.
