IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is a version of the Internet Protocol (IP) intended to succeed IPv4, which is the protocol currently used to direct almost all Internet traffic. IPv6 also implements additional features not present in IPv4. It simplifies aspects of address assignment (stateless address auto‐configuration), network renumbering and router announcements when changing Internet connectivity providers. This gateway supports various types of IPv6 connection (Static IPv6 / DHCPv6 / PPPoEv6 / 6to4 / 6in4). Please contact your ISP the type of IPv6 is supported before you proceed with IPv6 setup. Static IPv6 Static IPv6 does the same function as static IPv4. The static IPv6 provides manual setting of IPv6 address, IPv6 default gateway address, and IPv6 DNS. In above diagram depicts the IPv6 IP addressing, type in the information provided by your ISP to setup the IPv6 network. DHCPv6 DHCP in IPv6 does the same function as DHCP in IPv4.

The only thing a 6to4 user needs is a global IPv4 address. 6to4 may be used by an individual host, or by a local IPv6 network. When used by a host, it must have a global IPv4 address connected, and the host is responsible for encapsulation of outgoing IPv6 packets and decapsulation of incoming 6to4 packets. If the host is configured to forward packets for other clients, often a local network, it is then a router. ...

Modbus Cellular Gateway Index skipping is used to reserve slots for new function insertion, when required. 3.9.3 Virtual Server & Virtual Computer Virtual server is another name for port forwarding used by some routers. In computer networking, port forwarding or port mapping is an application of network address translation (NAT) that redirects a communication request from one address and port number combination to another while the packets are traversing a network gateway, such as a router or firewall. This technique is most commonly used to make services on a host residing on a protected or masqueraded (internal) network available to hosts on the opposite side of the gateway (external network), by remapping the destination IP address and port number of the communication to an internal host. Port forwarding allows remote computers (a computers on the Internet) to connect to a specific computer or service within a private local‐area network (LAN). So you can deploy some servers in your Intranet with the firewall protection by your gateway. This device’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts behind this device gateway are invisible to the outside ...

Modbus Cellular Gateway Index skipping is used to reserve slots for new function insertion, when required. Virtual Server List "Virtual Server" feature allows you to define some servers with the global IP address or FQDN of the gateway as if they are servers existed in the Internet. But in fact, these servers are located in the Intranet and are physically behind the gateway. The gateway serves the service requests by port forwarding the requests to the LAN servers and transfers the replies from LAN servers to the requester on the WAN side. For example, if you set an E‐mail server on the LAN side with IP address 10.0.75.101, a remote user can access the gateway for E‐mail service if you defined a virtual E‐mail server for the gateway by using the real E‐mail server on the LAN side, as shown in scenario in following diagram.

Modbus Cellular Gateway Index skipping is used to reserve slots for new function insertion, when required. 3.b Routing If you have more than one router and subnet, you will need to enable routing function to allow packets to find proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other. Routing is the process of selecting best paths in a network. It is performed for many kinds of networks, like electronic data networks (such as the Internet), by using packet switching technology. The routing process usually directs forwarding on the basis of routing tables which maintain a record of the routes to various network destinations. Thus, constructing routing tables, which are held in the router's memory, is very important for efficient routing. Most routing algorithms use only one network path at a time. The routing tables record your pre‐defined routing paths for some specific destination subnets. It is static routing. However, if the contents of routing tables record the obtained routing paths from neighbor routers by using some protocols, such as RIP, OSPF and BGP. It is dynamic routing. These both routing approaches will be illustrated one after one. 3.b.1 Static Routing "Static Routing" function lets you define the routing paths for some dedicated hosts/servers or ...

Modbus Cellular Gateway Index skipping is used to reserve slots for new function insertion, when required. These three dynamic routing protocols are described as follows. RIP Scenario The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance‐vector routing protocols, which employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum 128 ...
Modbus Cellular Gateway Index skipping is used to reserve slots for new function insertion, when required. number of hops allowed for RIP is 15. This hop limit, however, also limits the size of networks that RIP can support. A hop count of 16 is considered an infinite distance, in other words the route is considered unreachable. RIP implements the split horizon, route poisoning and holddown mechanisms to prevent incorrect routing information from being propagated. RIP Configuration In the "RIP Configuration" window, you can just choose the version of RIP protocol to activate the dynamic routing feature, or disable it. OSPF Scenario Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol for Internet Protocol (IP) networks. It uses a link state routing algorithm and falls into the group of interior routing protocols, operating within a single autonomous system (AS). OSPF is perhaps the most widely used interior gateway protocol (IGP) in large enterprise networks. IS‐IS, another link‐state dynamic routing protocol, is more common in large service provider networks. The most widely used exterior gateway protocol is ...

Modbus Cellular Gateway Index skipping is used to reserve slots for new function insertion, when required. 5.3.3 Rule‐based QoS This gateway provides lots of flexible rules for you to set QoS policies. Basically, you need to know three parts of information before you create your own policies. First, “who” needs to be managed? Second, “what” kind of service needs to be managed? The last part is “how” you prioritize. Once you have this information, you can continue to learn functions in this section in more detail. In "Rule‐based QoS" page, there are three configuration windows for QoS & BWM function. They are the "Configuration" window, "QoS Rule List" window, and "QoS Rule Configuration" window. The "Configuration" window can let you activate the Rule‐based QoS function. In addition, you can also enable the "Flexible Bandwidth Management" (FBM) feature for better utilization of system bandwidth by FBM algorithm. Second, the "QoS Rule List" window lists all your defined ...

Modbus Cellular Gateway Index skipping is used to reserve slots for new function insertion, when required. 5.5.d OpenVPN OpenVPN is an application that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point‐to‐point or site‐to‐site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. It uses a custom security protocol that utilizes SSL/TLS for key exchange. It is capable of traversing network address translators (NATs) and firewalls. OpenVPN allows peers to authenticate each other using a Static key or certificates.When used in a multi‐client‐server configuration, it allows the server to release an authentication certificate for every client, using signature and Certificate authority. It uses the OpenSSL encryption library extensively, as well as the SSLv3/TLSv1 protocol, and contains many security and control features. Deploy a security gateway for local office and establish a virtual private network with the remote gateway of another office by using OpenVPN. So, all client hosts behind local security gateway can make data communication with others behind remote gateway. In the case when you are a mobile user with your notebook or carrying along a security gateway to access the servers and database in company headquarters (HQ). And that the security gateway in HQ supports the OpenVPN server function. You can dial in the HQ gateway and access the HQ ...
