Manually adjust DHCP range

You can't delete the default DHCP range from the web GUI. You need to use the CLI!

"dhcp server flush" removes all existing DHCP settings. In this example 81.187.X.Z is the router's LAN address.

dhcp server flush
dhcp server config state=enabled
dhcp server pool add name=LAN index=0
dhcp server pool config name=LAN intf=LocalNetwork poolstart=81.187.X.X poolend=81.187.X.Y netmask=28 gateway=81.187.X.Z server=81.187.X.Z primdns=217.169.20.20 secdns=217.169.20.21
saveall
dhcp server pool list

"dhcp server pool list" should be used to check whether it is set up correctly or not.

Disabling Router Advertisements (RA rt6advd)

Telnet in and: To display the inferface(s) that RA is on:

ip rt6advd iflist

Shows something like:

Flags Legend: [A]ttached [M]anaged [O]ther - Def. Rtr. Pref. [L]ow / Medi[U]m / [H]igh
Interface        AdvInterval Lifetime Reachable  Retrans.   CurHopLimit LinkMTU Flags  NextRA
---------------- ----------- -------- ---------- ---------- ----------- ------- ------ --------
LocalNetwork      200 /  600     1800          0          0          64       0 [A.OU]      249

To remove it:

ip rt6advd ifdelete

And then to a iflist again to check, and LocalNetwork should be gone.

Adding Static-routes

ip rtlist
ip rtadd dst=network/mask gateway=gatewayip
ip saveall

Enabling/Disabling NAT

To view NAT status:

nat iflist

If required, rather than going through the config wizard on the web interface, you can enable/disable NAT on the telnet interface by:

nat ifconfig intf Internet translation enabled

or

nat ifconfig intf Internet translation disabled

You may then need to:

saveall

Mixing NAT and Public addresses

Mixed NAT explains how to configure the router so that you can have NAT clients and clients with public addresses at the same time.

Disable the Content Sharing Interface

The router has a content sharing feature, this is for using the USB port for file sharing. It's rarely used though. This feature uses a separate 'virtual' interface, which it grabs its IP via DHCP - a little odd. do remove this interface:

:eth bridge ifdetach intf virt brname bridge
:saveall

You won't get a confirmation if successful, but if it's already removed you'll get:

Interface filter(s) not matched.

To view the list of interfaces:

eth bridge list
