mapping

• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion detection, and NAT

• NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account, and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet services such as Web, FTP, email, and Telnet)

• VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP) • User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications

requiring multiple connections

• Easy setup through a Web browser on any operating system that supports TCP/IP

I

NTRODUCTION

Applications

Many advanced networking features are provided by the Arion 3100/3200:

• Wired LAN

The ADSL Router provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.

• Internet Access

This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection. Since many ADSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish communications with end users, the ADSL Router includes built-in clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on your computer.

• Shared IP Address

The ADSL Router provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the Web at the same time.

• Virtual Server

If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the ADSL Router to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the ADSL Router can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.

A

PPLICATIONS

1-4

• DMZ Host Support

Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet application from functioning correctly.

• Security

The ADSL Router supports security features that deny Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that the administrator does not want to serve. The ADSL Router’s firewall also blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding.

• Virtual Private Network (VPN Pass-through)

The ADSL Router supports three of the most commonly used VPN protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. The VPN protocols supported by the ADSL Router are briefly described below.

• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol – Provides a secure tunnel for remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs. • L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F – Like PPTP,

L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol. • IP Security – Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can

support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using digital certificates for device authentication.

After completing hardware setup by connecting all your network devices, you need to configure your computer to connect to the ADSL Router. First determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Other ISPs provide a static IP address and associated numbers, which you must enter manually. How your ISP assigns your IP address determines how you need to configure your computer.

Depending on your operating system see:

this section for Windows 95/98/Me configuration.

“Configuring Your Computer in Windows NT 4.0” on page 3-9, “Configuring Your Computer in Windows 2000” on page 3-14, “Configuring Your Computer in Windows XP” on page 3-19, or “Configuring Your Macintosh Computer” on page 3-26.

TCP/IP Configuration

To access the Internet through the ADSL Router, you must configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as the ADSL Router. The default network settings for the ADSL Router are:

Parameter Description

Protocol • Disable: Disables the connection.

• 1483 Bridging: Bridging is a standardized layer 2 technology. It is typically used in corporate networks to extend the physical reach of a single LAN segment and increase the number of stations on a LAN without compromising performance. Bridged data is

encapsulated using the RFC1483 protocol to enable data transport.

• PPPoA: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM is a method of encapsulating data for transmission to a far point. • 1483 Routing: 1483 Routing allows a simple, low-cost

connection to the Internet via a standard Ethernet port. The router looks up the network address for each packet seen on the LAN port. If the address is listed in the routing table as local, it is filtered. If the address is listed under the ADSL port, it is forwarded. Or if the address is not found, then it is automatically forwarded to the default router (i.e., the ADSL router at the head end). VPI/VCI See Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier

(VCI). Data flows are broken up into fixed length cells, each of which contains a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) that identifies the path between two nodes, and a Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI) that identifies the data channel within that virtual path. Each virtual circuit maintains a constant flow of cells between the two end points. When there is no data to transmit, empty cells are sent. When data needs to be transmitted, it is immediately inserted into the cell flows.

WAN

Encapsulation Shows the packet encapsulation type.

Packet encapsulation specifies how to handle multiple protocols at the ATM transport layer.

• VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows only one protocol running per virtual circuit with less overhead. LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical Link Control allows multiple protocols running over one virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead).

QoS Class ATM QoS classes including CBR, UBR and VBR

PCR/SCR/MBS QoS Parameters - PCR (Peak Cell Rate), SCR (Sustainable Cell Rate) and MBS (Maximum Burst Size) are configurable. IP assigned by

ISP Select Yes if the IP address was provided by your ISP. IP Address If your IP address is assigned by the ISP each time you

Virtual Server

Using this feature, you can put PCs with public IPs and PCs with private IPs in the same LAN area.

If you configure the ADSL Router as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the ADSL Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address). For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them. The more common TCP service ports include:

NAT

Special Applications

Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections. These applications cannot work with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application.

Specify the public port number normally associated with an application in the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP or UDP, then enter the ports that the application requires. The ports may be in the format 7, 11, 57, or in a range, e.g., 96, or a combination of both, e.g., 7, 11, 57, 72-96.
