How to view the V8S release of Alpha Router

With the improvement of routing technology, the competition among various manufacturers is also more intense. At the same time, they have also launched their own unique products, as is the case for Alpha routers. Nowadays, with the increasing popularity of network life, people's demands for networks in their work and life are also booming, in the networking process of small and medium-sized enterprises, dormitories and households, the combination of Mbps Ethernet + broadband routers (switches) still occupies the absolute mainstream.

Recently we have received a well-known domestic network equipment manufacturer Alpha company launched specifically to meet the small enterprise office Internet needs and design products-Alpha AFR-V8S high-speed fiber Alpha router. Alpha AFR-V8S high-speed optical fiber Alpha router is for consumer-level network users, the design is small and stylish, with black thickening sanding plastic shell design into stacked books, the back provides Four 10/100 M Ethernet (LAN) interface and a WAN interface, with a 12 V power supply. When creating a network, you can connect computers, switches, and hub devices in the self-built LAN to the Ethernet port. For users who need to connect to the Internet, the WAN interface directly provides xDSL/Cable Modem or multiple Ethernet connections. In addition, we noticed that the alpha AFR-V8S high-speed fiber Alpha router also provides a RESET button, the user only needs to press the RESET button 5 seconds to restore the AFR-V8S to the factory configuration in case of system configuration problems.

CPU is at the heart of both the low-end Alpha router and the high-end router. It is responsible for exchanging route information, finding route tables, and forwarding data packets. The processor's capabilities directly affect the router's throughput (route table query time) and route computing capabilities. Alpha AFR-V8S high-speed fiber Alpha router adopts MIPS kernel processor, clock speed up to 225 M, can support high-speed fiber access processing capabilities, for the stable operation of the system provides a powerful hardware platform.

Those familiar with routing and switching products should know that, even for low-end routing products, the design capability of software systems plays a decisive role in product performance. Alpha router AFR-V8S high-speed fiber router in the software can provide a variety of management functions, such as: DHCP server, virtual server, DMZ host, firewall, static route table management and other functions. Next we will introduce the Alpha router AFR-V8S high-speed fiber Alpha router frequently used functions and configuration methods.

The default IP address of the vro is 192.168.18.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed according to our actual needs. For convenience, we did not change the value in our trial. We only need to set the IP address of the computer required to configure the route in the same network segment: 192.168.18.XXX, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 ).
