New Features for this Release
This version of the Hotwire DSL Routers User’s Guide documents firmware
release 4.4, which adds the following new features for the Hotwire 6351
ReachDSL Router:
IP passthrough. This feature allows the router to pass through or share its
public IP address with a single LAN device. The DSL router establishes a
PPPoE and PPP session with the Network Access Server (NAS). The public
IP address is negotiated via IPCP, installed on the router’s DSL interface, and
served to the passthrough device via DHCP.
Automatic configuration of options provided by the DHCP server to its clients.
This feature is available when PPPoE is enabled and is the default unless
explicitly refused by the user. This allows the DHCP Server option
configuration items to be set automatically with values negotiated during the
network layer protocol phase of PPP (IPCP).
Secondary DNS server. The DHCP server can specify a secondary DNS
server in its offer to a client.
No router option required. Configuration of the DHCP Server feature no longer
requires that a value for the Router option be specified.
