WAN Configuration

WAN Configuration

Context

Configure network access interfaces on the WAN Configuration page and set Internet access modes based on the network environment.

The Cellular0/0/0 interface will be displayed only when a 3G/LTE data card is installed.

Procedure

  1. Click Configuration on the toolbar to access the Configuration page. In the navigation tree on the left, click WAN Configuration to access the WAN Configuration page.

    The page only displays WAN interfaces.

  2. Set Interface and Connection mode, as shown in Table 1-16.

    Table 1-16  Access mode parameter description
    Parameter Description
    Interface Interface used by a router to connect to the Internet.
    Connection mode Internet access mode of a router.
    • Broadband dialup
    • Fixed address
    • Dynamic address
    • 3G/4G(LTE)

    • PPPoE dial-up

      1. Set Connection mode to Broadband dialup, as shown in Figure 1-43.
        Figure 1-43  WAN configuration for PPPoE dial-up

      2. Table 1-17 describes PPPoE dial-up parameters.
        Table 1-17  PPPoE dial-up parameter description
        Parameter Description
        Status

        PPPoE dial-up will be initiated only when the connection is enabled.

        User name User name for PPPoE dial-up.
        Password Password for PPPoE dial-up.
        MTU(Byte)

        MTU of an interface.

        If the MTU size is smaller than packet size, packets will be fragmented and discarded by QoS queues. If the MTU is too large, packets are transmitted slowly or even lost.

        The default value of MTU is 1500.

        TCP-MSS(Byte)

        MSS of TCP packets on an interface.

        The MSS refers to the maximum length of a TCP packet segment sent from the remote end to the local end. During TCP connection negotiation, devices at both ends record the MSS of each other. When sending TCP packets, the devices limit the size of TCP packets within the MSS.

        The recommended value of TCP-MSS is 1200.

        Enable NAT

        NAT must be enabled when a PC on the private network of a LAN connects to the Internet.

        By default, NAT is disabled.

        Load Balancing
        Two load balancing modes are supported:
        • UCMP: Unequal Cost Multiple Path

        • ECMP: Equal Cost Multiple Path

        NOTE:

        This parameter is supported in V200R010C10 and later versions.

        Interface bandwidth(Kbps)

        When the load balancing mode is UCMP, the interface bandwidth needs to be configured.

        NOTE:

        This parameter is supported in V200R010C10 and later versions.

        Load Balancing Algorithm
        Three load balancing Algorithms are supported:
        • Source IP: Indicates that the load balancing is based on the source IP address.

        • Destination IP: Indicates that the load balancing is based on the destination IP address.

        • Source IP and Destination IP: Indicates that the load balancing is based on the source IP address and destination IP address.

        NOTE:

        This parameter is supported in V200R010C10 and later versions.

      3. Click Apply to complete interface configuration.
