Prestige 650HW ADSL Router User’s Guide Outgoing Data Packet Match Drop packet Figure 8-1 Outgoing Packet Filtering Process Two sets of factory filter rules have been configured in menu 21 to prevent NetBIOS traffic from triggering calls. A summary of their filter rules is shown in the figures that follow.
You can apply up to four filter sets to a particular port to block various types of packets. Because each filter set can have up to six rules, you can have a maximum of 24 rules active for a single port. Filter Configuration Prestige 650HW ADSL Router User’s Guide Filter Set Fetch Next...
Prestige 650HW ADSL Router User’s Guide For incoming packets, your Prestige applies data filters only. Packets are processed depending on whether a match is found. The following sections describe how to configure filter sets. The Filter Structure of the Prestige A filter set consists of one or more filter rules.

Prestige 650HW ADSL Router User’s Guide Configuring a Filter Rule To configure a filter rule, type its number in Menu 21.1 – Filter Rules Summary and press [ENTER] to open menu 21.1.1 for the rule. There are two types of filter rules: TCP/IP and Generic. Depending on the type of rule, the parameters for each type will be different.

Prestige 650HW ADSL Router User’s Guide Chapter 9 SNMP Configuration This chapter explains SNMP Configuration menu 22. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured. About SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices.
Prestige 650HW ADSL Router User’s Guide An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the Prestige). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP.

There are 12 policy sets with six policies in each set.

Prestige 650HW ADSL Router User’s Guide Ad-hoc Wireless LAN Configuration The simplest WLAN configuration is an independent (Ad-hoc) WLAN that connects a set of computers with wireless nodes or stations (STA), which is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). In the most basic form, a wireless LAN connects a set of computers with wireless adapters.
Page 196
Prestige 650HW ADSL Router User’s Guide points can provide wireless coverage for an entire building or campus. All communications between stations or between a station and a wired network client go through the access point. The Extended Service Set (ESS) shown in the next figure consists of a series of overlapping BSSs (each containing an access point) connected together by means of a Distribution System (DS).
PPPoE in Action An ADSL modem bridges a PPP session over Ethernet (PPP over Ethernet, RFC 2516) from your PC to an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) which connects to a xDSL Access Concentrator where the PPP session terminates (see the next figure). One PVC can support any number of PPP sessions from your LAN. PPPoE provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP.
Page 198
Prestige 650HW ADSL Router User’s Guide How PPPoE Works The PPPoE driver makes the Ethernet appear as a serial link to the PC and the PC runs PPP over it, while the modem bridges the Ethernet frames to the Access Concentrator (AC). Between the AC and an ISP, the AC is acting as a L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator) and tunnels the PPP frames to the ISP.
ATM is a connection-oriented technology, meaning that it sets up virtual circuits over which end systems communicate. The terminology for virtual circuits is as follows: • Virtual Channel • Virtual Path • Virtual Circuit Think of a virtual path as a cable that contains a bundle of wires. The cable connects two points and wires within the cable provide individual circuits between the two points.
