For example, in Austria the PPTP protocol is used instead of the PPPoE protocol for DSL connections. If NAT is not activated, it is possible that only VPN connections can be used.įor the further configuration of PPPoE network mode, see "PPPoE" on page 144. If the mGuard is operated in PPPoE mode, NAT must be activated in order to access the Internet. If the mGuard is operated in PPPoE mode, the mGuard must be set as the default gateway on the locally connected computers. The external IP address, which the mGuard uses for access from remote peers, is specified by the provider. PPPoE mode corresponds to Router mode with DHCP but with one difference: the PPPoE protocol, which is used by many DSL modems (for DSL Internet access), is used to connect to the external network (Internet, WAN). The external IP-settings are requested by the mGuard and assigned by an external DHCP server. – Built-in modem / Built-in mobile network modem
There are several Router modes, depending on the Internet connection: In Router network mode, a secondary external interface can also be configured (see "Secondary External Interface" on page 152). If NAT is not activated, it is possible that only VPN connections can be used. Only then can the computers in the connected local network access the Internet via the mGuard.
NAT should be activated if the mGuard is operated in Router mode and establishes the connection to the Internet (see "Network > NAT" on page 198). This means that the IP address of the mGuard LAN port must be specified as the default gateway address on these computers. If the mGuard is operated in Router mode, it must be set as the default gateway on the locally connected computers. Īs in the other modes, firewall and VPN security functions are available (depending on license). – In Power-over-PCI mode, the LAN port is the LAN socket of the FL MGUARD PCI(E)4000, FL MGUARD PCI(E)4000, FL MGUARD PCI 533/266. – FL MGUARD SMART2 : the LAN port is the Ethernet connector. The mGuard is connected to a local network or a stand-alone computer via its LAN port: – FL MGUARD SMART2 : the WAN port is the Ethernet socket. The mGuard is connected to the Internet or other “external” parts of the LAN via its WAN port. If the mGuard is in Router mode, it acts as the gateway between various subnetworks and has both an external interface (WAN port) and an internal interface (LAN port) with at least one IP address. Here auto MDIX is permanently switched on, so it does not matter if the auto negotiation parameter is disabled.ĭefault setting for TC MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 4G, TC MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 3G, FL MGUARD RS4004/RS2005, FL MGUARD GT/GT, mGuard Centerport (Innominate), FL MGUARD CENTERPORT, FL MGUARD BLADE -Controller, mGuard delta (Innominate) Connect the mGuard s to the DTE interface using an Ethernet crossover cable.

For a more detailed explanation of the options for using the serial interface (and a built-in modem), see "Modem" on page 186. The details for this must be configured on the General, Dial-out, Dial-in and Modem/Console tabs. For devices with a built-in modem (analog modem or ISDN terminal adapter), the modem can also be used to combine access options. Alternatively, the serial interface can also be used as follows: for PPP dial-in into the local network or for configuration purposes.
For devices with a serial interface, the connection to the external network can also or additionally be established via the serial interface using a modem. The WAN port is used to connect to the external network. The LAN port is connected to a stand-alone computer or the local network (internal).
