RFC 1483 (Multiprotocol Encapsulation LLC/SNAP)
If you selected RFC 1483 (Multiprotocol Encapsulation LLC/SNAPfrom the Wan Interface page, the RFC 
1483 Networking page is displayed when you click Next.
To configure RFC 1483:
1. Select one or more of the following RFC 1483 networking options:
Bridging Enabled:
Forward all traffic for remote hosts that is not routed to the WAN (non-IP). If bridging is enabled, you can 
optionally select Only bridge PPPoE traffic. If selected, only PPPoE traffic is bridged; all other traffic is 
stopped.
IP Routing Enabled:
Routes all IP packets for remote hosts to the WAN. If IP Routing is enabled, you must specify how to 
obtain an IP address and subnet mask. This can be one of the following:
– Obtain configuration automatically from Wan using DHCP to have an IP address assigned 
automatically using DHCP.
– Configure IP Routing manually to assign IP addresses manually. If you select this option, you must 
specify an IP Address and Subnet Mask in the appropriate fields. 
2. If you enabled IP routing, optionally select one or more of the following:
NAT Enabled:
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple workstations on your LAN to share a single, public 
IP address. All outgoing traffic appears to originate from the router’s IP address.
Block Net BIOS Traffic: 
NetBIOS is a PC networking protocol that can keep network connections open inadvertently. To avoid 
excess connection charges, such traffic should be blocked on any metered network service.
