Certain functionality in this release is controlled through software feature keys. These keys are proprietary files with the following properties: They are specific to the serial number of the target unit.
  • Page 15 There is no specialized client software required to configure, manage, or maintain your Cayman Gateway. Web pages embedded in the operating system provide access to the following Gateway operations: Setup System and security logs Diagnostics functions Once you have removed your Cayman Gateway from its packing container and powered the unit up, use any LAN attached PC or workstation running a common web browser application to configure and monitor the Gate- way.
  • Page 16 DHCP Server functionality enables the Gateway to assign your LAN com- puter(s) a “private” IP address and other parameters that allow network communication. The default DHCP Server configuration of the Gateway supports up to 253 LAN IP addresses. This feature simplifies network administration because the Gateway main- tains a list of IP address assignments.
  • Page 17 The PPPoE specification, incorporating the PPP and Ethernet standards, allows your computer(s) to connect to your Service Provider’s network through your Ethernet WAN connection. The Netopia Cayman-series Gate- way supports PPPoE, eliminating the need to install PPPoE client software on any LAN computers.
  • Page 18 Your network may change address with each connection making it more difficult to attack. When you configure Instant On access, you can also configure an idle time-out value. Your Gateway monitors traffic over the Internet link and when there has been no traffic for the configured number of seconds, it disconnects the link.

  • Page 23 Details on the eight specific event types and the information logged are: The Gateway checks all incoming packets to see if the IP address attached is valid for the interface the packet is received through. If the address of the packet is not valid for the interface the packet is discarded.
  • Page 24 mentation information can also be exploited to create an illegally sized packet. Unwary hosts will often crash when the illegal fragment corrupts data outside of the “normal” packet bounds. The Cayman unit will detect and discard illegal packet fragments, and the Security Monitoring software logs the event.
  • Page 25 The Cayman software provides the means for assigning passwords to the Admin or User accounts to control access to the Gateway. Any attempts to login are given three chances to enter a valid password. The Security Mon- itoring software records instances where the user fails to enter a valid pass- word.

  • Page 46 Link Your Gateway maintains a dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table to map IP addresses to Ethernet (MAC) addresses. It populates this ARP table dynamically, by retrieving IP address/MAC address pairs only when it needs them. Optionally, you can define static ARP entries to map IP addresses to their corresponding Ethernet MAC addresses.
  • Page 47 Determine if any of the service applications that you want to provide on your LAN stations utilize TCP or UDP protocols. If an application does, then you must configure an Internal Server to implement port forwarding. This is accessed from the The procedure on the following pages describes how you set up your NAT- enabled Cayman Gateway to support three separate applications.
  • Page 48 TIPS for making Pinhole Entries 1. If the port forwarding feature is required for Web services, ensure that the embedded Web server’s port number is re-assigned PRIOR to any Pin- hole data entry. 2. Enter data for one Pinhole at a time. 3.
  • Page 49 Use the following steps: Since Port Forwarding is required for this example, the Cayman embedded Web server is configured first. The two text boxes, page refer to the port numbers of the Cayman Gateway’s embedded admin- istration ports. To pass Web traffic through to your LAN station(s), select a Web (HTTP) Port number that is greater than 1024.
  • Page 51 Note the following parameters for the “my-games” Pinhole: 1. The Protocol ID is UDP. 2. The external port is specified as a range. 3. The Internal port is specified as the lower range entry. REMEMBER: When you have re-assigned the port address for the embedded Web server, you can still access this facility.
  • Page 52 Link IPMaps supports one-to-one Network Address Translation (NAT) for IP addresses assigned to servers, hosts, or specific computers on the LAN side of the Cayman Gateway. A single static or dynamic (DHCP) WAN IP address must be assigned to support other devices on the LAN. These devices utilize Cayman’s default NAT/PAT capabilities.
  • Page 53 IPMaps allows a Cayman Gateway to support servers behind the Gateway, for example, web, mail, FTP, or DNS servers. VPN servers are not supported at this time. Yes. IPMaps can be assigned to the WAN interface provided they are on the same subnet.
  • Page 54 The following diagram shows the IPMaps principle in conjunction with existing Cayman NAT operations: 143.137.50.37 143.137.50.36 143.137.50.35 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.n...
  • Page 55 Link Each NAT Protocol map entry will time-out if there is no traffic of that protocol for the specified number of minutes. For example, UDP entries time-out if there is no UDP traffic after 6 (default) minutes. Link This feature allows you to: * Direct your Gateway to forward all externally initiated IP traffic (TCP and UDP protocols only) to a default host on the LAN.
  • Page 56 This feature allows you to direct unsolicited or non-specific traffic to a des- ignated LAN station. With NAT “On” in the Gateway, these packets nor- mally would be discarded. For instance, this could be application traffic where you don’t know (in advance) the port or protocol that will be utilized.
  • Page 57 A typical network utilizing the NAT Default Server looks like this: Ethernet Interface 210.219.41.20 Embedded Web Server 210.219.41.20 (Port 80 default) Cayman’s NAT security feature allows you to configure a sophisticated LAN layout that uses both the Pinhole and Default Server capabilities. With this topology, you configure the embedded administration ports as a first task, followed by the Pinholes and, finally, the NAT Default Server.
  • Page 58 Link Your Service Provider may maintain a Domain Name server. If you have the information for the DNS servers, enter it on the DNS page. If your Gateway is configured to use DHCP to obtain its WAN IP address, the DNS information is automatically obtained from that same DHCP Server.
  • Page 59 Link Your Gateway can provide network configuration information to com- puters on your LAN, using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If you already have a DHCP server on your LAN, you should turn this service off. If you want the Gateway to provide this service, click the pulldown menu, then configure the range of IP addresses that you would like the Gateway to hand out to your computers.
  • Page 60 Link The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets a network administrator monitor problems on a network by retrieving settings on remote network devices. The network administrator typically runs an SNMP management station program on a local host to obtain information from an SNMP agent. In this case, the Cayman Gateway is an SNMP agent.
  • Page 61 Link Bridges let you join two local area networks, so that they appear to be part of the same physical network. As a bridge for protocols other than TCP/IP, your Gateway keeps track of as many as 255 MAC (Media Access Control) addresses, each of which uniquely identifies an individ- ual host on a network.
  • Page 62 Link defaults to your Gateway's factory identifier com- bined with its serial number. Some cable-oriented Service Providers use the System Name as an important identification and support parame- ter. If your Gateway is part of this type of network, do NOT alter the System Name unless specifically instructed by your Service Provider.
  • Page 63 Link Your Gateway ships with an embedded Web server and support for a Telnet session, to allow ease of use for configuration and maintenance. The default ports of for HTTP and for Telnet may be reassigned. This is necessary if a pinhole is created to support applications using port 80 or 23.
  • Page 64 Link You can override your Gateway’s Ethernet MAC address with any neces- sary setting. Some ISPs require your account to be identified by the MAC address, among other things.

  • Page 121 This section describes the keywords and arguments for the various CONFIG com- mands. You can use the CLI to set up each ATM virtual circuit. Enables the WAN interface of 3220-H to be configured using the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) protocol. Selects the virtual circuit for which further parameters are set.
  • Page 122 Select the number of PPPoE sessions to be configured for VCC n. Up to eight can be configured on the first VCC; one on the other VCCs. The total must be less than or equal to eight. Select the transmission priority for vcc n. The Gateway transmits traffic for high priority VCCs before it transmits traffic for low priority VCCs.
  • Page 123 As a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server, your Cayman Gateway can assign IP addresses and provide configuration information to other devices on your network dynamically. A device that acquires its IP address and other TCP/IP configuration settings from the Cayman Gateway can use the information for a fixed period of time (called the DHCP lease).
  • Page 124 Selects the type of Discrete Multitone (DMT) asynchronous digital subscriber line (ADSL) protocol to use for the WAN interface. Domain Name System (DNS) is an information service for TCP/IP networks that uses a hierarchical naming system to identify network domains and the hosts associated with them.
  • Page 125 You can use the command line interface to specify whether TCP/IP is enabled, identify a default Gateway, and to enter TCP/IP settings for the Cayman Gateway LAN and WAN ports. If PPPoE is turned off, you must specify settings for Ethernet A and B separately.
  • Page 126 Specifies restrictions on the types of traffic the 3220-H accepts over the DSL vir- tual circuit. The admin-disable accepted but that administrative commands are ignored. The argument means that router traffic is ignored by that administrative commands are accepted. The ICMP traffic is still accepted.
  • Page 127 BOTH Specifies the broadcast address for the local Ethernet interface. IP hosts use the broadcast address to send messages to every host on your network simulta- neously. The broadcast address for most networks is the network number followed by 255. For example, the broadcast address for the 192.168.1.0 network would be 192.168.1.255.
  • Page 128 BOTH Specifies whether you want the Cayman Gateway to respond when it receives an address resolution protocol for devices behind it. By default, proxy ARP is turned off. BOTH Specifies whether the Cayman Gateway should use Routing Information Protocol (RIP) broadcasts to advertise its routing tables to other routers on your network. RIP Version 2 (RIP-2) is an extension of the original Routing Information Protocol (RIP-1) that expands the amount of useful information in the RIP packets.
  • Page 129 Specifies whether the Gateway is reached using a fixed IP address or through a PPP virtual circuit. BOTH Specifies the IP address of the default IP Gateway. Use the following command to configure settings for routing between WAN con- nections. BOTH Enables or disables routing between WAN connections.
  • Page 130 The default value for the ip_address argument is 0.0.0.0, which indicates that the virtual PPP interface will use the IP address assigned to it by the remote peer. Note that the remote peer must be configured to supply an IP address to your Cayman Gateway if you enter 0.0.0.0 for the ip_address argument.
  • Page 131 For example, inclusion of subnet masks in RIP packets and implementation of multicasting instead of broadcasting. This last feature reduces the load on hosts which do not support routing protocols. This command is only available when address mapping for the specified virtual circuit is turned “off”.
  • Page 132 A static route identifies a manually configured pathway to a remote network. Unlike dynamic routes, which are acquired and confirmed periodically from other routers, static routes do not time out. Consequently, static routes are useful when working with PPP, since an intermittent PPP link may make maintenance of dynamic routes problematic.
  • Page 133 The remote network is more than one router away but the static route should not be replaced by a dynamic route, even if the dynamic route is more effi- cient. BOTH Deletes a static route. Deleting a static route removes all information associated with that route.
  • Page 134 BOTH Specifies whether an administrator can open a telnet connection to the Cayman Gateway over the WAN Ethernet interface [or specified VCC interface] to monitor and configure the Cayman Gateway. The admin-only argument means that router traffic is ignored but that administrative commands are accepted. The none argument means that all traffic is accepted.
  • Page 135 NAT default settings let you specify whether you want your Cayman Gateway to forward NAT traffic to a default server when it doesn’t know what else to do with it. The NAT default host function is useful in situations where you cannot create a specific NAT pinhole for a traffic stream because you cannot anticipate what port number an application might use.
  • Page 136 BOTH Specifies the type of protocol being redirected. BOTH If you select other, specifies the number of the protocol you want to translate. BOTH Specifies the first port number in the range being translated. BOTH Specifies the last port number in the range being translated. BOTH Specifies the IP address of the internal host to which traffic of the specified type should be transferred.
  • Page 137 BOTH Enables or disables PPP on the Cayman Gateway. BOTH Specifies the Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) for the PPP interface. The integer argument can be any number between 128 and 2048. BOTH Enables or disables LCP magic number negotiation. BOTH Specifies whether you want the Cayman Gateway to compress the PPP Protocol field when it transmits datagrams over the PPP link.
  • Page 138 BOTH Specifies the number of seconds the Cayman Gateway should wait before retrans- mitting a configuration or termination request. The integer argument can be any number between 1 and 30. BOTH Specifies whether a PPP connection is maintained by the Cayman Gateway when it is unused for extended periods.
  • Page 139 BOTH Specifies the name the Cayman Gateway sends in a CHAP response packet. The chap_name argument is 1-64 alphanumeric characters. The information you enter must match the CHAP username configured in the remote PPP peer's authentication database. BOTH Specifies the CHAP secret for CHAP authentication. The secret argument is 1-64 alphanumeric characters.
  • Page 140 You can specify that your Cayman Gateway will use PAP, CHAP, or both to authen- ticate a remote peer as a PPP link is being completed. Perform the following steps to specify how your Cayman Gateway should authenticate remote peers. BOTH Specifies whether the Cayman Gateway will use CHAP to authenticate connec- tions to PPP peers.
  • Page 141 You can set command line interface preferences to customize your environment. BOTH Specifies whether you want command help and prompting information dis- played. By default, the command line interface verbose preference is turned off. If you turn it on, the command line interface displays help for a node when you navigate to that node.
  • Page 142 BOTH Specifies the port number for telnet (CLI) communication with the Cayman Gate- way. Because port numbers in the range 0-1024 are used by other protocols, you should use numbers in the range 2000-32767 when assigning new port numbers to the Cayman Gateway telnet configuration interface. Security settings include the Firewall and IPSec parameters.
  • Page 143 BOTH This enables this particular tunnel. Currently, one tunnel is supported. BOTH Specifies the IP address of the destination gateway. BOTH Specifies the IP address of the destination computer or internal network. BOTH Specifies the subnet mask of the destination computer or internal network. The subnet mask specifies which bits of the 32-bit IP address respresents network information.
  • Page 144 BOTH for details about SafeHarbour IPsec tunnel capability. BOTH for details about SafeHarbour IPsec tunnel capability. BOTH for details about SafeHarbour IPsec tunnel capability. BOTH for details about SafeHarbour IPsec tunnel capability. The following four IPsec parameters configure the rekeying event. BOTH BOTH BOTH...
  • Page 145 The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets a network administrator monitor problems on a network by retrieving settings on remote network devices. The network administrator typically runs an SNMP management station program on a local host to obtain information from an SNMP agent such as the Cayman Gateway.
  • Page 146 you have assigned a name to your Cayman Gateway, you can enter that name in the Address text field of your browser to open a connection to your Cayman Gate- way. BOTH Specifies the types of log messages you want the Cayman Gateway to record. All messages with a level number equal to or greater than the level you specify are recorded.
  • Page 147 Traffic shaping lets you control how much traffic can flow through an Ethernet interface by limiting the size of the WAN “pipe.” This function is most suitable for Internet Service Providers or multi-interface routers. When you use the traffic-shaping option to set the maximum speed for a router port, the router will silently discard any packets that exceed the maximum port speed.
