− | | + | <!------------------------DEVICE-----------------------> |
− | A wide area network (WAN) is a telecommunications network or computer network that extends over a large geographical distance. For example, the Internet is a wide are network. This chapter is an overview of RUTxxx routers' WAN section.
| + | | name = RUT240 |
− | | + | | series = RUT2 |
− | ==Operation Modes==
| + | <!----------------------SEPARATORS---------------------> |
− | | + | | mobile = 1 <!-- 1 - has mobile WAN; 0 - doesn't have mobile WAN --> |
− | The Operation Modes window lets you determine how the router will be connecting to the internet. You can chose between three types of WAN – Mobile, Wired and Wi-Fi. You can also setup backup WAN options in case your main connection goes down.
| + | | dualsim = 0 <!-- 1 - has dual SIM; 0 - doesn't have dual SIM --> |
− | | + | | dualmodem = 0 <!-- 1 - has dual modem; 0 - doesn't have dual modem --> |
− | [[File:Network wan operation v2.png]]
| + | | wired = 1 <!-- 1 - has wired WAN; 0 - doesn't have wired WAN --> |
− | | + | | no_of_if = 2 <!-- one - wired/mobile; two - wired & mobile --> |
− | You can choose one main WAN and one or two (or none) backup WAN options. To choose your main WAN just check the desired option (wired, mobile or Wi-Fi) in the '''Main WAN''' column (first from the left), to choose a backup WAN(s), check the desired option(s) in the Backup WAN column (second from the left). Above is an example of a configuration that uses wired as Main WAN and mobile as Backup WAN.
| + | }} |
− | The Operation Modes tab also displays each interfaces name, WAN IP address and Protocol in use. To configure a WAN interface more in depth, click the '''Edit''' button located to the right of the desired interface. Each interface configures separately, to avoid redundancy this chapter will only overview the configuration of the wired WAN interface, since mobile contains less information and Wi-Fi is basically the same.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Common Configuration==
| |
− | | |
− | The Common Configuration section is used to configure different protocols for WAN interfaces.
| |
− | | |
− | ===Static===
| |
− | ----
| |
− | The Static protocol is used when the source of your internet doesn’t have a DHCP server enabled. Therefore, in order to connect to the internet, you have to make configurations in accordance to that source.

| |
− | ----
| |
− | The Advanced Settings tab will change in accordance to which network protocol is selected. For the Static protocol you can turn NAT on or off, override the router’s MAC address, MTU and define the gateway's metric.

− | ===DHCP===
| |
− | ----
| |
− | The DHCP protocol should be used when the source of your internet has a DHCP server enabled. If that is the case, when you select the DHCP protocol you can use it as is, because most networks will not require any additional advanced configuration.

− | ==IP Aliases==
| |
− | | |
− | IP Aliases are a way of defining or reaching a subnet that works in the same space as the regular network. This is useful if you need to reach the router that is located in the same network but in a different subnet. If you have a static IP configuration on your computer and don’t want to change it every time you need to reach a router in a different subnet, you can configure an IP alias in order to do so.

− | ==Backup Configuration==
| |
− | | |
− | Backup WAN is a function that allows you to back up your primary connection in case it goes down. There can be up to two backup connections selected at one time. In that case, when the primary connection fails, the router tries to use the backup with the higher priority and if this one is unavailable or fails too, then the router tries the backup with the lower priority.

− | The majority of the options consist of timing and other important parameters that help determine the health of your primary connection. Regular health checks are constantly performed in the form of ICMP packets (Pings) on your primary connection. When the connections state starts to change (READY->NOT READY and vice versa) a necessary amount of failed or passed health checks has to be reached before the state changes completely. This delay is instituted so as to mitigate “spikes” in connection availability, but it also extends the time before the backup link can be brought up or down.

The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version RUT2_R_00.07.06.14.
Note: click here for the old style WebUI (FW version RUT2XX_R_00.01.14.7 and earlier) user manual page.
Summary
The WAN page is used to to set up WAN network interfaces, which are used to connect device with external networks.
This manual page provides an overview of the WAN windows in RUT240 devices.
If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.
WAN
The WAN section displays WAN network interfaces currently existing on this device.
From here you can turn the interfaces, enable/disable interface's failover, create interfaces, change their priority* or enter an interface's configuration page.
* You can change the priority by dragging and dropping an interface to another position. Moving an interface changes its metric value in the configuration file. Interfaces that are higher on the list have greater priority.
If you hover mouse over the question mark global IPv6 addresses and IPv6 prefix delegation will be displayed.
Interface configuration
This section provides information on network interface configuration. There are 2 main types of interfaces on the device:
Different types of interfaces can be configured under different protocols:
|
Static |
DHCP |
DHCPv6 |
PPPoE |
Mobile |
Ethernet WAN |
|
|

To begin configuring an interface, click the 'Edit' button on the right side of the interface:
General Setup
The General Setup section is used to configure the protocol of an interface and all the different parameters that go along with each protocol. If None protocol is chosen, all other interface settings will be ignored. The following sections are different for each protocol.
General Settings: Static
The static protocol uses a predefined manual configuration instead of obtaining parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.
Field |
Value |
Description |
Enable |
on | off; default: on |
Enable interface. |
IPv4 address |
ip4; default: none |
The IPv4 address interface of this interface. An IP address identifies a device on a network and allows it to communicate with other devices. |
IPv4 netmask |
netmask; default: 255.255.255.0 |
The IPv4 netmask of this interface. A netmask is used to define how "large" a network is by specifying which part of the IP address denotes the network and which part denotes a device. |
IPv4 gateway |
ip4; default: none |
The IPv4 gateway address used by this interface. An interface's default gateway is the default address through which all outgoing traffic is directed. |
IPv4 broadcast |
ip4; default: none |
The IPv4 broadcast address used by this interface. IP broadcasts are used by BOOTP and DHCP clients to find and send requests to their respective servers. |
DNS servers |
ip4; default: none |
DNS server addresses that this interface will use. If left empty, DNS servers are assigned automatically. To see what DNS servers are currently used, you can check the contents of the /tmp/resolv.conf.auto file. |
