In this section you can view a list of assigned IP addresses and reserve IP addresses for particular devices.

  • Page 64: Dns

    DNS, or Domain Name System, is a naming system that translates between domain names (www.cradlepoint.com, for example) and Internet IP addresses (206.207.82.197). A DNS server acts as an Internet phone book, translating between names that make sense to people and the more complex numerical identifiers. The DNS page for the CBA750B has these distinct functions: •...
  • Page 65 CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0 CRADLEPOINT 6.3.2 Dynamic DNS Configuration The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased (www.yourname.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses.

  • Page 67: Firewall

    CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0 CRADLEPOINT 6.4 Firewall The router automatically provides a firewall. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the router does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to cyber attackers.
  • Page 68 CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0 CRADLEPOINT • Local Port(s): The port number(s) that corresponds to the service (Web server, FTP, etc) on a local computer or device. For example, you might input “80” in the Local Port(s) field to open a port for a Web server on a computer within your network.

  • Page 104 CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0 CRADLEPOINT 6in4 Tunnel The 6in4 tunnel mode utilizes explicit IPv4 tunnel endpoints and encapsulates IPv6 packets using 41 as the specified protocol type in the IP header. A 6in4 tunnel broker provides a static IPv4 server endpoint, decapsulates packets and provides routing for both egress and ingress IPv6 packets.
  • Page 105 CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0 CRADLEPOINT 6rd Tunnel IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd) is a method of IPv6 site configuration derived from 6to4. It is different from 6to4 in that the ISP provides explicit 6rd infrastructure that handles the IPv4 ↔ IPv6 translation within the ISP network. 6rd is considered more reliable than 6to4 as the ISP explicitly maintains infrastructure to support tunneled IPv6 traffic over their IPv4 network.
