When a menu item is selected, the corresponding layout showing relevant fields and tabs will display in the main working area in the center of the page.

  • Page 17: Description Of Menu Items

    Description of Menu Items Wireless The wireless page allows for the easy management of wireless connections. Functions are organized by tab layers across the top. Interfaces – Add, delete and manage wireless interfaces, and analyze interfaces with various tools. Clicking on an item in the table opens the detail page for that wireless interface.
  • Page 18 Interface – Shows current interfaces. Clicking on an item in the table opens the detail page for that interface. Interface List – Allows for the defining of interface sets for easier interface management in firewalls. Ethernet – Click an Ethernet connection shown in the table to view or modify its parameters.
  • Page 19 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a Layer 2 communications protocol used to establish a direct connection between two nodes. It provides Authentication via the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP), and Microsoft’s version (MS-CHAP v1/v2). Interface – All PPP client and server configurations are added and managed on this page. Click the Add New button and select the desired client or server setup from the drop-down list.
  • Page 20 Mesh The EW75000 series uses HWMP+ for wireless mesh networks. It is based on Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) from the IEEE 802.11 draft standard. It can be used instead of (Rapid) Spanning Tree protocols in mesh setups to ensure loop-free optimal routing.
  • Page 21 Accounting Authentication, Authorization and Accounting feature provides a possibility of local and/or remote (on RADIUS server) Point-to-Point and Hotspot user management and traffic accounting (for all IP traffic passing through the device; local traffic accounting is also an option). For local traffic accounting, the packet source and destination addresses are matched against an IP pair list in the accounting table and the traffic for that pair is increased.
  • Page 22 The eWAV DHCP client may be enabled on any Ethernet-like interface at a time. The client will accept an address, netmask, default gateway, and two DNS server addresses. The received IP address will be added to the interface with the respective netmask. The default gateway will be added to the routing table as a dynamic entry.
  • Page 23 and is compliant with RFC 2131. The eWAV DHCP server supports the basic functions of giving each requesting client an IP address/netmask lease, default gateway, domain name, DNS-server(s) and WINS-server(s) (for Windows clients) information (set up in the DHCP networks submenu). In order for the DHCP server to work, IP pools must also be configured (do not include the DHCP server's own IP address into the pool range) and the DHCP networks.
  • Page 24 Mangle – Mangle is a kind of 'marker' that marks packets for future processing with special marks. Many other facilities in the EW75000 series make use of these marks, e.g. queue trees, NAT, routing. They identify a packet based on its mark and process it accordingly.
  • Page 25 memory is freed and the protocol is considered as unknown. Take into account that a lot of connections will significantly increase memory and CPU usage. To avoid this, add regular firewall matchers to reduce amount of data passed to layer-7 filters repeatedly. An additional requirement is that the Layer7 matcher must see both directions of traffic (incoming and outgoing).
  • Page 26 Neighbors Neighbors – This read-only page lists all discovered neighbors in the Layer-2 broadcast domain. It shows to which interface neighbor is connected, shows its IP/MAC addresses, and several related parameters. Discovery Interfaces – Turn discovery protocol on or off for a specific interface or interfaces on this page.
  • Page 27 Routes Routes – Add new and view existing IP routes on this page. Nexthops – Nexthop lookup is a part of the route selection process. This read-only page lists all nexthops that have been established. Rules – Use this page to set routing rule parameters and actions (drop, lookup, lookup only in table, unreachable).
  • Page 28 Services This page shows the protocols and ports used by various services. Individual services can be selectively enabled or disabled. Settings The IP Settings page allows for the configuration of several IP related kernel parameters. EW75000 Hardened Wireless LAN Access Point...
  • Page 29 Socks SOCKS is a proxy server that allows TCP based application data to relay across the firewall, even if the firewall would block the packets. The SOCKS protocol is independent from application protocols, so it can be used for many services, e.g., WWW, FTP, TELNET, and others.
  • Page 30 Traffic-Flow is a system that provides statistic information about packets which pass through the device. Besides network monitoring and accounting, system administrators can identify various problems that may occur in the network. With help of Traffic-Flow, it is possible to analyze and optimize the overall network performance. As Traffic-Flow is compatible with Cisco NetFlow, it can be used with various utilities which are designed for Cisco's NetFlow.
  • Page 31 Routing Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a low-overhead and short-duration protocol intended to detect faults in the bidirectional path between two forwarding engines, including physical interfaces, sub-interfaces, data link(s), and to the extent possible the forwarding engines themselves, with potentially very low latency. It operates independently of media, data protocols and routing protocols.
  • Page 32 makes the protocol more scalable if multiple areas are used; routing table calculation takes less CPU resources and routing traffic is reduced. However, multi-area setups create additional complexity. It is not recommended separate areas with fewer than 50 routers. The maximum number of routers in one area is mostly dependent on CPU power you have for routing table calculation.
  • Page 33 This device supports implements RIP Version 1 (RFC 1058) and Version 2 (RFC 2453). RIP enables routers in an autonomous system to exchange routing information. It always uses the best path (the path with the fewest number of hops (i.e. routers)) available. Interfaces –...

Users Users – Each user is assigned to a user Group, which defines the rights of the user. In case the user authentication is to be performed using RADIUS, click the AAA button for the configuration page.
  • Page 38 Watchdog This menu allows for the setting of a system reboot on kernel panic, when an IP address does not respond, or in case the system has locked up. Software watchdog timer is used to provide the last option, so in very rare cases (caused by hardware malfunction) it can lock up by itself.
  • Page 39 Queue Tree – Queue tree creates only one directional queue in one of the HTBs (Hierarchical Token Bucket). It is also the only way to add a queue on a separate interface. This eases mangle configuration - you don't need separate marks for download and upload - only upload will get to Public interface and only download will get to Private interface.
  • Page 40 the respective default profile. The RADIUS server database is consulted only if no matching user access record is found in router's local database. Traffic is accounted locally with Traffic Flow and Cisco IP pairs and a snapshot image can be gathered using Syslog utilities. If RADIUS accounting is enabled, accounting information is also sent to the RADIUS server default for that service.
  • Page 41 Tools The eWAV web management GUI has a wide range of built-in tools for testing, debugging, and troubleshooting. In addition to classic utilities such as ping, Telnet, and traceroute, the tools menu offers several powerful diagnostic tools with which you may be unfamiliar. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with these tools when you are working for the first time with an eWAV device.
  • Page 42 Email This utility allows for the sending of emails from the router. This tool can be used to send regular configuration backups and exports to network administrator. Only plain authentication and TLS encryption is used. Other methods are not supported. Flood Ping Ping flood sends ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo requests to a remote host in the same manner as ping, but it sends the next request as soon as it receives a...
  • Page 43 Ping Speed The ICMP Bandwidth Tester (Ping Speed) can be used to approximately evaluate the throughput to any remote computer and thereby help to discover network 'bottlenecks'. Profile Profiler tool shows CPU usage for each process running in the eWAV device. It helps to identify which process is using most of the CPU resources.
  • Page 44 Traffic Monitor The traffic monitor tool is used to execute console scripts when interface traffic crosses a given threshold. Each item in traffic monitor list consists of its name (which is useful if you want to disable or change properties of this item from another script), some parameters, specifying traffic condition, and the pointer to a script or scheduled event to execute when this condition is met.
