Basic Installation 10   BEC MX-210NP User Manual  CHAPTER 3: BASIC INSTALLATION The  router  can  be  configured  with  your  web  browser. A  web  browser  is  included  as  a  standard application in the following operating systems: Windows Vista / 7 / 8, Linux, Mac OS, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration. PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or through an external repeater hub and have TCP/IP installed or configured to obtain an IP address through a  DHCP server or a fixed IP  address that must  be in the  same subnet as  the  router. The default  IP  address  of  the  router  is  192.168.1.254  and  the  subnet  mask  is  255.255.255.0  (i.e.  any attached  PC must be in  the  same  subnet and  have  an  IP address  in  the  range  of  192.168.1.1  to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may  also  be  advisable  to  uninstall  any kind  of  software firewall  on  your  PCs,  as  they can  cause problems  accessing  the  192.168.1.254  IP  address  of  the  router.  Users  should  make  their  own decisions on how to best protect their network. Please  follow  the  steps  below  for  your  PC’s  network  environment  installation.  Check  your  PC’s network components first. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.         Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the MX-210NP. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.  Attention

For example: 00:0A:F7:45:6D:ED When added, you can see the ones listed as showed below:   IPv6 Parameters The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID.  Interface Address / Prefix Length: Enter a static LAN IPv6 address. If you are not sure what to do with this field, please leave it empty as if contains false information it could result in LAN devices not being able to access other IPv6 device. Router will take the same WAN’s prefix to LAN side if the field is empty.  DHCPv6 Server There are two methods to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts, Stateless and Stateful.  Stateless  auto-configuration  requires  no  manual  configuration  of  hosts,  minimal  (if  any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the client. Stateful configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In  the  stateful  auto  configuration  model,  hosts  obtain  interface  addresses  and/or  configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts.
 Device Configuration Interface Setup – LAN 51   BEC MX-210NP User Manual  DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server.  DHCPv6  Server  Type:  Select  Stateless  or  Stateful.  When  DHCPv6  is  enabled,  this  parameter  is available.   Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.   Stateful: If selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information from DHCPv6 server. Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4. End interface ID: enter the end interface ID. Leased Time (seconds): the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned. Router Advertisement:  Check  to Enable  or Disable  the Issue  Router Advertisement feature. This feature is to send Router Advertisement messages periodically which would multicast the IPv6 Prefix information (similar to v4 network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the field is enabled.

For this reason you are advised to  use  specific  Virtual  Server  entries  just  for  the  ports  your  application requires, instead of using DMZ. As doing so will result in all connections from the WAN attempt to access to your public IP of the DMZ PC specified. If  you  have  disabled  the  NAT  option  in  the  WAN-ISP  section,  the  Virtual Server function will hence be invalid. If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router. Attention
 Device Configuration Advanced Setup – NAT (Example) 71   BEC MX-210NP User Manual  Example: How to setup Port Forwarding for port 21 (FTP server) If you have a FTP server in your LAN network and want others to access it through WAN.

 Device Configuration Advanced Setup – VRRP 72   BEC MX-210NP User Manual  VRRP VRRP  is  designed  to  eliminate  the  single  point  of  failure  inherent  in  the  static  default  routed environment. VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers in a LAN. The VRRP router controlling the IP address associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets sent to these IP addresses. The election process  provides  dynamic  fail-over  in  the  forwarding  responsibility  should  the  Master  become unavailable. Any of the virtual router's IP addresses in a LAN can then be used as the default first hop router by end-hosts. The advantage gained from using VRRP is  a  higher availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host.  VRRP: Click to activate the feature.  VRID: Virtual Router Identifier, range from 1-255 (decimal). A master or backup router running the VRRP protocol may participate in one VRID instance. Priority: Specifies the sending VRRP router's priority for the virtual router. Higher values equal higher priority. The priority value for the VRRP router that owns the IP address associated with the virtual router MUST be 255. VRRP routers backing up a virtual router MUST use priority values between 1 and 254. The default priority value for VRRP routers backing up a virtual router is 100. The priority value zero (0) has special meaning indicating that the current Master has stopped participating in VRRP. This is used to trigger Backup routers to quickly transition to Master without having to wait for the current Master to timeout.  Preempt  Mode:  When  preempt  mode  is  activated,  a  backup  router  always  takes  over  the responsibility of the master router. When deactivated, the lower priority backup is left in the master state.  VRIP: An IP address which is associated with the virtual router. Advertisement period: Indicates the time interval in seconds between advertisements. Default in 1 second.  Click Save to apply settings.
