Title: DFL-160 Transparent mode
Post by: ChristianKueppers on July 05, 2011, 11:01:12 AM
Hi all,

i try to activate the transparent mode on my new DFL160 because itīs located between lan and modemrouter.
I can save the configuration but the device didnīt respond within the 30 seconds.

Config:
LAN: 192.168.10.0/24
LAN-IP DFL: 192.168.10.1 (Standard)
WAN-IP: 192.168.0.2 (static, because connected to the modemrouter)
Modemrouter: 192.168.0.1

I tried all, including switching the WAN-Ip and modemrouter into the LAN-network or connecting to the administrative interface via WAN-IP, but nothing worked.
Any Idea?

If wan segment between DFL and modem is different from lannet, why you want to make Transparent Mode?

For your case, better to set modem as transparent

danilovav ,
at this time my modemrouter does the nating and the dfl-160 too, DFL isnīt directly connected to the internet, so it si used as an internal security gateway.
here I believed to understand is the transparent mode. And I want to set it up. I didnīt need two network segments.

Transparent mode is way to keep same network between interfaces, but perform firewall actions (filter packets)
As result, what you will get? Public IP on lan computer? How much IPs (and how? static or DHCP) provided by ISP?
What's modem? DSL? Cable? anything else?

Hi its only a private network with 3 PCs and one NAS.
The three PCs have dynamic private addresses.
The router is a DSl router with one dhcp-address by the ISP.
But its located in another segment, because the Standard of DFL-160 is Nating.
MY goal is what you described in the first line of your last statement.
Perhaps it helps you.

I'm not sure can DFL-160 do any i'm talking (never user this model), but try by yourself
You don't need NAT on your modem. Change it to transparent (bridge) mode and setup DHCP/PPPoE/whatever your ISP uses on DFL
