WAN Ethernet Configuration screen
The WAN Ethernet Configuration screen appears as follows:
• Address Translation Enabled allows you to specify whether or not the router performs Network Address
Translation (NAT) on the Ethernet WAN port. NAT is enabled by default.
• Local WAN IP Address allows you to manually configure an IP address for use on the Ethernet WAN port.
The value 0.0.0.0 indicates that the device will act as a DHCP client on the Ethernet WAN port and attempt
to acquire an address from a DHCP server. By default, the router acts as a DHCP client on the Ethernet
WAN port.
• The Local WAN IP Mask field becomes visible if you specify a Local WAN IP Address. This allows you to
manually configure an IP subnet mask for use on the Ethernet WAN port. This item is visible only if you
have configured a non-zero Ethernet IP Address; otherwise, the router obtains a subnet mask via DHCP.
• The NAT Map List and NAT Server List options are set to the defaults, Easy-PAT List and Easy-Servers.
These provide standard NAT mappings. For more advanced NAT configurations, see “Multiple Network
Address Translation” on page 3-1.
• NAT Options allows you to specify IP Passthrough, allowing a single PC on the LAN to have the router’s
public address assigned to it. See “IP Passthrough” on page 3-27.
• If you set Stateful Inspection Enabled to Yes, you can enable a security feature for computers on your LAN
when NAT is disabled. See “Stateful Inspection” on page 2-23.
• The Filter Set pop-up allows you to associate an IP filter set with the Ethernet WAN port. See “About Filters
and Filter Sets” on page 9-17.
• Remove Filter Set allows you to remove a previously associated filter set.
• Enable PPP over Ethernet is Off by default. If your service provider uses PPPoE authentication toggle this
to On.
