Configuring WAN Port Settings

  1. Open Network Manager.
  2. Go to WAN > WAN Ports.
  3. Identify a port to configure.
  4. Click .

    The WAN Configuration window appears.

  5. Configure the WAN IP settings.

    Setting

    User Action

    Obtain IP address settings automatically via DHCP

    Select this option to automatically obtain an IP address.

    If the network supports DHCP, the device automatically obtains the IP address and network settings.

    Static IP

    Select this option to manually specify an IP address.

    Manually assign a static IP address. You must specify the following information:

    • Fixed IP address

    • Subnet mask

    • Default gateway

    • DNS server 1

    Select Use static IPv6 address to use IPv6 instead of IPv4. When selected, you must specify the following information:

    • Fixed IP address

    • Prefix length

      Tip:

      Obtain the prefix length information from your network administrator.

    • Default gateway

      Important:
      • The prefix must be between FE80 and FEBF.

      • The IPv6 default gateway IP address must be from the same subnet as the fixed IP address.

    PPPoE

    Select this option to specify a username and password for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE).

  6. Configure the remaining settings.

    Setting

    User Action

    ISP line rate

    Specify the gross bit rate of the physical layer.

    Metric

    Specify the number of nodes that the route will pass through.

    Note:

    Metrics are cost values used by routers to determine the best path to a destination network.

    Jumbo frames

    Specify the size of the Jumbo Frames.

    Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames that are larger than 1500 bytes. They are designed to enhance Ethernet networking throughput, and to reduce CPU usage when transferring large files. QNE supports the following MTU sizes:

    • 1500 bytes (default)

    • 4074 bytes

    • 7418 bytes

    • 9000 bytes

    Important:
    • All connected network devices must enable Jumbo Frames and use the same MTU size.

    • Using jumbo frames requires a network speed of 1000 Mbps or faster.

  7. Click Apply.

Network Manager updates the WAN port settings.
