3.4 Network
If we click on Network, we can see submenu containing:
Interfaces, Wireless, Switch, DHCP, Custom TTL, Diagnostics, Firewall, QoS, Load Balancing
3.4.1 Interfaces
On this page you can configure the network interfaces. You can bridge several
interfaces by ticking the “bridge interfaces” field and entering the names of
several network interfaces separated by spaces.
3.4.2 Wireless
Under Wireless, you have overview of your device Controller. Clicking on
‘Edit’ button, Device Configuration page will open.
The Device Configuration section covers physical settings of the radio
hardware such as channel, transmit power or antenna selection which are shared
among all defined wireless networks (if the radio hardware is multiSSID
capable). Per network settings like encryption or operation mode are grouped
in the Interface Configuration.
You can also manage Security settings, such as encryption or cipher.
3.4.3 Switch
The network ports on this device can be combined to several VLANs in which
computers can communicate directly with each other. VLANs are often used to
separate different network segments. Often there is by default one Uplink port
for a connection to the next greater network like the internet and other ports
for a local network.
3.4.4 DHCP
Dnsmasq is a combined DHCP-Server and DNS-Forwarder for NAT firewalls.
3.4.5 TTL Settings
Time to live (TTL) or hop limit is a mechanism which limits the lifespan or
lifetime of data in a computer or network.
3.4.6 Diagnostics
3.4.7 Firewall
Under Firewall submenu, there are following tabs:
General Settings – The firewall creates zones over network interfaces to
control network traffic flow.
Port Forwarding – Allows remote computers on the Internet to connect to a
specific computer or service within the private LAN.
Traffic Rules – Define policies for packets travelling between different
zones, for example to reject traffic between certain hosts or to open WAN
ports on the router.
Custom Rules – Custom rules allow you to execute arbitrary iptables
commands which are not otherwise covered by the firewall framework. The
commands are executed after each firewall restart, right after the default
rule set has been loaded.
3.4.8 Quality of Service
With QoS you can prioritize network traffic selected by addresses, ports or
services.
3.4.9 Load Balancing
With load balancing, traffic is distributed across a number of connections.
Unlike bonding, these connections remain separate, and you do not need a hub
in a Data Centre to bond these connections together.
MWAN3 uses normal Linux policy routing to balance outgoing traffic over
multiple WAN connections.
Linux outgoing network traffic load-balancing is performed on a per-IP
connection basis – it is not channel-bonding, where a single connection (e.g.
a single download) will use multiple WAN connections simultaneously.
As such load-balancing will help speed multiple separate downloads or traffic
generated from a group of source PCs all accessing different sites but it will
not speed up a single download from one PC (unless the download is spread
across multiple IP streams such as by using a download manager).
3.5 Logout
After Clicking on Logout, you will be taken to the following Login Screen.
