HA PTER Intro duc tio n 1.1 O ve rvie w This User’s Guide covers the models listed in the following table. They can be managed in one of the following methods: remote management through Nebula Control Center (NCC) or an AP Controller (AC) such as the NXC, or local management in Standalone Mode.
Page 13: Root Ap
Chapter 1 Introduction • Radio Frequency (RF) monitor - An RF monitor searches for rogue APs to help eliminate network threats if it supports monitor mode and rogue APs detection/containment. An RF monitor cannot simultaneously act as an AP. • Root AP - A root AP connects to the gateway or switch through a wired Ethernet connection and has wireless repeaters connected to it to extend its range.
Page 14 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.2.2 Wire le ss Re pe a te r Using Repeater mode, your Zyxel Device can extend the range of the WLAN. In the figure below, the Zyxel Device in Repeater mode ( ) has a wireless connection to the Zyxel Device in Root AP mode ( which is connected to a wired network and also has a wireless connection to another Zyxel Device in Repeater mode ( ) at the same time.
Page 15: Radio Frequency (Rf) Monitor
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.2.3 Ra dio Fre q ue nc y (RF) Mo nito r The Zyxel Device can be set to work as an RF monitor to discover nearby Access Points. The information it obtains from other APs is used to tag possible rogue APs and quarantine them if the Zyxel Device is managed by the NXC (see Section 2.1.3 on page 27).

Chapter 1 Introduction Fig ure 3 Multiple BSSs 1.3.2 Dua l- Ra dio Some of the Zyxel Device models are equipped with dual wireless radios. This means you can configure two different wireless networks to operate simultaneously. Note: A different channel should be configured for each WLAN interface to reduce the effects of radio interference.

HA PTER Ne two rk 9.1 O ve rvie w This chapter describes how you can configure the management IP address and VLAN settings of your Zyxel Device. The Internet Protocol (IP) address identifies a device on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network.
Page 96 Chapter 9 Network Fig ure 39 AC managed Network Example Note: The Zyxel Device can be a standalone device or be managed by an AC. AC Disc o ve ry a nd Ma na g e m e nt The link between AC Discovery-enabled access points proceeds as follows: AC Disc o ve ry An Zyxel Device with enabled joins a wired network (receives a dynamic IP address).

Chapter 9 Network Note: The AC needs to have a static IP address. If it is a DHCP client, set the DHCP server to reserve an IP address for the AC. AC m a na g e m e nt a nd IP Sub ne ts By default, CAPWAP works only between Zyxel Devices with IP addresses in the same subnet.

The first one is to “delay” a client connection. This means that the AP withholds the connection until the data transfer throughput is lowered or the client connection is picked up by another AP.

Chapter 10 Wireless idle tim e o ut sig na l stre ng th Connections are cut based on either . The Zyxel Device first looks to see which devices have been idle the longest, then starts kicking them in order of highest idle time. If no connections are idle, the next criteria the Zyxel Device analyzes is signal strength.

HA PTER C e rtific a te s 15.1 O ve rvie w The Zyxel Device can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to authenticate users. Certificates are based on public-private key pairs. A certificate contains the certificate owner’s identity and public key. Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.
Page 177 Chapter 15 Certificates Additionally, Jenny uses her own private key to sign a message and Tim uses Jenny’s public key to verify the message. The Zyxel Device uses certificates based on public-key cryptology to authenticate users attempting to establish a connection, not to encrypt the data that you send after establishing a connection. The method used to secure the data that you send through an established connection depends on the type of connection.
Page 178: Verifying A Certificate
Chapter 15 Certificates • Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates.The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file’s password is not connected to your certificate’s public or private passwords. Exporting a PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you import the file into the Zyxel Device.

Fig ure 93 How SSH v1 Works Example Host Identification The SSH client sends a connection request to the SSH server. The server identifies itself with a host key. The client encrypts a randomly generated session key with the host key and server key and sends the result back to the server.

Chapter 16 System 16.6.2 SSH Im ple m e nta tio n o n the Zyxe l De vic e Your Zyxel Device supports SSH versions 1 and 2 using RSA authentication and four encryption methods (AES, 3DES, Archfour, and Blowfish). The SSH server is implemented on the Zyxel Device for management using port 22 (by default).

PPEN DIX IPv6 O ve rvie w IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The increase in IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 10 IP addresses.
Page 294 Appendix B IPv6 Unspe c ifie d Addre ss An unspecified address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 or ::) is used as the source address when a device does not have its own address. It is similar to “0.0.0.0” in IPv4. L o o pb a c k Addre ss A loopback address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or ::1) allows a host to send packets to itself.
Page 295 Appendix B IPv6 Sub ne t Ma sking Both an IPv6 address and IPv6 subnet mask compose of 128-bit binary digits, which are divided into eight 16-bit blocks and written in hexadecimal notation. Hexadecimal uses four bits for each character (1 ~ 10, A ~ F).
Page 296 Appendix B IPv6 Each DHCP client and server has a unique DHCP Unique IDentifier (DUID), which is used for identification when they are exchanging DHCPv6 messages. The DUID is generated from the MAC address, time, vendor assigned ID and/or the vendor's private enterprise number registered with the IANA. It should not change over time even after you reboot the device.
Page 297 Appendix B IPv6 IC MPv6 Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6 (ICMPv6 or ICMP for IPv6) is defined in RFC 4443. ICMPv6 has a preceding Next Header value of 58, which is different from the value used to identify ICMP for IPv4. ICMPv6 is an integral part of IPv6.
Page 298 Appendix B IPv6 multicast packets and the IP addresses of multicast groups the hosts want to join on its network. MLD snooping and MLD proxy are analogous to IGMP snooping and IGMP proxy in IPv4. MLD filtering controls which multicast groups a port can join. ML D Me ssa g e s A multicast router or switch periodically sends general queries to MLD hosts to update the multicast forwarding table.
