4-4 IP Router - Release 1.8
Profile Directory: Local Profile
LAN (Local) Profile Setup
In addition to the fields on this screen, there are several other areas that directly relate
to the communication abilities of the Router. You may use the fields at the bottom of
this screen to access the following areas:
l Defining static addresses at the local unit
l Establishing static networks
l Establishing Remote (WAN) advertising
l Establishing DHCP Server/BOOTP Relay Agent parameters
l 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:
l Configured address, custom and protocol filters
l Static IP networks and static IPX networks
l Enabling any learned items listed on the Advertise Network/Server screen or
Filter Network/Server screen
l Static IP and MAC Addresses
l 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.
