  • Page 2 Notice Please read this notice before moving on next. You are now reading an all-in-one document on instructions about three different routers with similar and up-to-date features -7800X, 7800NX, and 7800NXL. The three models are the most recent models offered by our company, with concrete features placed in the next chapters. The major difference lies in whether the model is with support of wireless and VPN.

  • Page 7 Jumbo frames supported Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes (standard Ethernet frame) of payload. Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9720 bytes of payload to enjoy a high-efficiency communication in Gigabit Ethernet. Jumbo frames increase the frame size so that a certain large amount of date can be transported with less effort, reducing CPU utilization and increasing throughput by reducing the number of frames needing to be processed and reducing the total overhead byte count of all frames sent.

In the stateful auto- configuration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server.

    Interface Grouping Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same network switch.

    UPnP UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.

    VPN (7800(N)X only) A virtual private network (VPN) is a private network that interconnects remote (and often geographically separate) networks through primarily public communication infrastructures such as the Internet. VPNs provide security through tunneling protocols and security procedures such as encryption.

WAN Interface: Select the set used interface for the IPSec connection, when you select adsl pppoe_0_0_35/ppp0.1 interface, the IPSec tunnel would transmit data via this interface to connect to the remote peer.
  • Page 202 Pre-Shared Key: This is for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, a string from 4 to 128 characters. Both sides should use the same key. IKE is used to establish a shared security policy and authenticated keys for services (such as IPSec) that require a key. Before any IPSec traffic can be passed, each router must be able to verify the identity of its peer.
  • Page 203 authentication. Default is 60 minutes (3600 seconds). A short time increases security by forcing the two parties to update the keys. However, every time when the VPN tunnel re- negotiates, access through the tunnel will be temporarily disconnected. DPD Setting DPD Function: Check Enable to enable the function.

  • Page 209: Pptp

    PPTP The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a Layer2 tunneling protocol for implementing virtual private networks through IP network. PPTP uses an enhanced GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) mechanism to provide a flow- and congestion-controlled encapsulated datagram service for carrying PPP packets. In the Microsoft implementation, the tunneled PPP traffic can be authenticated with PAP, CHAP, Microsoft CHAP V1/V2 or EAP-TLS.
