Router setup- Best practices



Please note, you need a technician with networking knowledge to setup
these units.

Below is only a basic guide for these units. There are numerous ways to setup
these highly configurable router boards, the config can be tailored to suit various
network requirements.

You will need a modem in bridge mode for ADSL. It supports Ethernet WAN and
LTE ( 4G/3G)

Setup:

1. eth 1 : primary Wan connection ( PPPoe)
2. eth 4-10 will be bridged as LAN with default network address
192.168.88.0/24
3. Setup a 4G USB stick as failover ( ZTE MF 823 and AirCard 320U were
tested)
4. 2011UiAS-2HnD was tested

Logging into the router

1. Plug the cable into anyone of the ports 2-5 and navigate to
http://192.168.88.1
a. Username is admin
b. No password to log in first time

2. Configure the interface
a. Rename the interfaces
i. Eth1 WAN
ii. Eth4-10 LAN
b. Set master ports to none for each interface


3. Configure the bridge to include all ports from 4-10

a. Remove the ports not needed and add the new ports

4. Configure PPPoe Connection



a. Click on Add New and select PPPoe client


b. Run a PPPoe scan (select eth1 as the ADSL is connected to this
port) to verify the ADSL connection and configure the PPPoe
details.


5. DNS


6. Add the firewall rule under Firewall-Filter rules

a. Use the setting below



b. Assign the highest priority to the rule by a simple drag and drop
action

c. Edit the NAT settings, change eth1 to pppoe-out1 (interface)

9. Check the routes under IP->routes, there should be one there

10. Set the password under System->user and locak down remote access to
the router ( securing the device)

11. Setting up a 4G USB stick as failover.



a. Once you plug in the USB stick , the lte interface will appear under
interfaces

b. allocate dhcp client to the lte interface and set the route distance to
10 (higher than the primary ADSL connection)
