The Hurricane 9200/S offers a special type of bridging mode called

ZIPB (Zero Installation PPP Bridge) mode. This mode enables the

ISP to simplify the installation process for customers who will be

using the device as a bridge. ZIPB mode also allows customers to

use the embedded firewall features, which are normally not

available on bridged connections.

Note

Contact your ISP to determine if they offer this connection type

before you configure it.

With ordinary DSL modems that use a bridged connection to the

ISP, the customer must install a program on their PC called a PPP

client. This program enables the customer to log in to the ISP’s

access server and acquire IP information that the computer needs

for all subsequent Internet communication. In ZIPB mode, the

Hurricane 9200/S uses its own PPP software to communicate at

startup with the ISP. The ISP assigns the IP information to the

device’s PPP interface, which then uses its DHCP server to pass

the information on to the user’s PC. Therefore, the PPP interface

and the user’s PC both use the same IP address.

Working with your ISP, follow this procedure to enable ZIPB mode:

1. Ensure that your PCs are configured to accept IP information

assigned by a DHCP server. See “Quick Start Part 2 —

Configuring Your Computers,” for instructions.

2. Ensure that at least one PPPoE or PPPoA interface has

been created on the Hurricane 9200/S. See Chapter 5 for

instructions.

The Status field for the PPP interface must be set to Start on

Data. You can modify an existing interface to set this property.

Note

If you have more than one computer on your LAN and your ISP

provides multiple public IP addresses for those computers, you

must establish a PPP interface for each public IP address.

3. If it does not already exist, create a DHCP server pool with

poolid=0.

The pool should include at least one unique private IP address

for each computer on your LAN. The gateway IP address

should be set to the address of the LAN interface, which must

be in the same subnet (see Chapter 4 for instructions).

4. Enable DHCP server, as described in “Setting the DHCP

Mode” on page 101.

5. Click the Services tab to display the NAT Configuration

page. If the NAT feature is enabled, click the Disable radio

button.

6. Click the Bridging tab to display the Bridging page, and then

click the ZIPB: Enable radio button.

7. Click the Bridging: Disable radio button.
