[. . . ] It helps users to acquire their IP addresses without making a lot of configuration. ESG-103 also offers hosts parameters shown below. Default Gateway - Tell hosts where they can deliver their packets if they do not know how to deal with those packets. Name Server 1, 2, 3 - ESG-103 works as a DNS server to its hosts to help hosts activate their DNS function. Since ESG-103 has DNS relay function, it offers hosts to be a default name server. DHCP Start IP - In ESG-103, there are 100 IP addresses at most can be assigned to hosts. You can assign an IP address to the host in this box from 192. 168. 1. 1 to 192. 168. 1. 253. DHCP End IP - This field will be filled in automatically. Chapter 3 Configuration - 15 3. 3. 2. 3 Table of fixed host entries DHCP server can assign IP addresses and some options, such as gateway's IP address, DNS server, etc. , to hosts in ESG-103's LAN side. When DHCP server receive request from that host whose MAC address is one of those pairs in its mapping table, DHCP server will assign that mapping IP address to host. 3. 3. 3 NAT/DMZ Setup NAT is a mechanism that can convert your private IP addresses into a single public IP address. Dynamic NAT means that you can assign a range of private IP addresses to map to a range of public IP addresses in the WAN interface. When one public IP address is mapped to one host, this public IP address could not be assigned to the other hosts. Static NAT means you can set up a private IP address and public IP address to be a pair. NAT records packet's Port and IP address, converts it into public IP address in the WAN side and gives this session one unique port number. Most of the famous applications are supported by ESG-103 such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, NetMeeting, RealPlayer, QuickTime, . . . . etc. Chapter 3 Configuration - 16 3. 3. 3. 1 Table of current virtual server entries Sometimes, there are many servers located in the LAN side and wish to be accessed by any remote host. We could use Virtual Server to let remote hosts access internal servers. In this configuration page, you can enter a public port that is bound on a server in the LAN interface. For example, FTP server's public port is 21, Telnet server's public port is 23, and HTTP server's public port is 80. In configuration figure below, you can map port 21 to the host whose IP address is 192. 168. 1. 101 and the remote host can access FTP server in the LAN interface by accessing 211. 21. 83. 14 through FTP client application installed in the remote host itself. When you access ESG-103's WAN side, the ESG-103 can convert your FTP packets and let them pass through the NAT.                      Protocol - Select the protocol type the server provides?Chapter 3 Configuration - 17 Service Name - Name this service in 10 characters. Server IP Address - The server's private IP address in the LAN side Server Port Number - The port of the inside server which is listening 3. 3. 3. 2 Dynamic NAT In the first table, you can assign a range of private IP addresses that can be converted to public ones. Base Address - The first IP address that you wish to be converted from private to public. [. . . ] Attention: Whenever you change the configuration of ESG-103, you must reboot your ESG-103 to activate the new configuration. 3. 8 Update Firmware ESG-103 provides a firmware update function through your web browser.
