4.2 IP Pass-Thru
IP Passthru allows a client connected to the private network to be
configured automatically with the public IP address acquired from the
ISP. The configuration is done by passing the client a DHCP lease
with the public IP address when the WAN becomes connected. If
there is more than one client connected to the private LAN, the user
can bind the MAC address of a particular client to IP Passthru in
order to ensure that client always receives the correct DHCP lease.
Otherwise, the IP Passthru will pick the first device connected to the
LAN to use IP Passthru.
4.2.1 IP Passthru Mode
IP Passthru Mode. Selecting Bind MAC Automatically will allow IP
Passthru to automatically try to setup the client's connection to the
Internet. This setting is the default setting, and should work in most
cases. However, if there is more than one client connected to the
private network, then selecting Bind MAC Manually will configure
the router to only allow one particular client.
Client MAC Address. If you would like IP Passthru to be restricted to
a particular client, enable this option and enter the client‟s MAC
address into the association field. The router will grab the MAC
address of the client connected to it during configuration. If this isn't
the right address, enter the MAC of the correct device.
Ignore Switch Position. The CBA750 has a Configuration Switch on the outside of the router that can be set to Passthru
Mode or Configuration Mode. Selecting Ignore Switch Position disables this switch so that you control this setting
through the administration pages only. If you select Ignore Switch Position, you must then also choose either:
Force Passthru Mode
Force Configuration Mode
