When a configured subnet is deleted, the values in subsequent rows adjust up to fill the vacant fields.
  • Page 88: Static Routes

    Static routes are IP routes that are maintained manually. Each static route acts as a pointer that tells the Netopia 4752 how to reach a particular network. However, static routes are used only if they appear in the IP routing table, which contains all of the routes used by the Netopia 4752 (see Static routes are helpful in situations where a route to a network must be used and other means of finding the...

  • Page 90 Select Destination Network Subnet Mask and enter the subnet mask used by the destination network. Select Next Gateway IP Address and enter the IP address for the router that the Netopia 4752 will use to reach the destination network. This router does not necessarily have to be part of the destination network, but it must at least know where to forward packets destined for that network.
  • Page 91 If the static route conflicts with a connection profile, the connection profile will always take precedence. To make sure that the static route is known only to the Netopia 4752, select Advertise Route Via RIP and toggle it to No. To allow other RIP-capable routers to know about the static route, select Advertise Route Via RIP and toggle it to Yes.
  • Page 92: Ip Address Serving

    Menu Configuration In addition to being a router, the Netopia 4752 is also an IP address server. There are three protocols it can use to distribute IP addresses. The first, called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), is widely supported on PC networks, as well as Apple Macintosh computers using Open Transport and computers using the UNIX operating system.

    The value defaults to the Netopia 4752’s IP address on the corresponding subnet (or the Netopia 4752’s default gateway, if that gateway is located on the subnet in question). You can override the value by entering any address that is part of the subnet.
  • Page 96 When requesting an address, a client may provide a client identifier, or, if it does not, the Netopia 4752 may construct a pseudo-client identifier for the client. When the client subsequently requests an address, the Netopia 4752 will attempt to serve the address previously associated with the pseudo-client identifier.
  • Page 97: Dhcp Netbios Options

    To help you understand some of the concepts discussed here, it may be helpful to introduce some NAT terminology. The term mapping refers to rules that associate one or more private addresses on the Netopia Router’s LAN to one or more public addresses on the Netopia Routers WAN interface (typically the Internet).

    NAT. Dynamic NAT is intended to provide functionality beyond many-to-one and one-to-one translation. Netopia’s NAT implementation makes it possible to have a static mapping of one public address to one private address, thus allowing applications such as NetMeeting to work by assuring that any traffic sent back to the source IP address is forwarded through to the internal machine.
  • Page 114 For example, if a connection is initiated from the public network and is destined for a public IP address configured on the Netopia Router, the following comparisons are made in this order. The Netopia Router first checks its internal NAT cache to see if the data is part of a previously initiated connection, if not…...

Each filter set can contain up to 16 output filters and up to 16 input filters.
  • Page 185 The Netopia R-Series Router Packets in the Netopia 4752 pass through an input filter if they originate in the WAN and through an output filter if they’re being sent out to the WAN. The process for adding input and output filters is exactly the same. The main difference between the two involves their reference to source and destination.
  • Page 186 13-14 Administration Guide Enter the IP specific information for this filter. To make the filter active in the filter set, select Enabled and toggle it to Yes. If Enabled is toggled to No, the filter can still exist in the filter set, but it will have no effect. If you want the filter to forward packets that match its criteria to the destination IP address, select Forward and toggle it to Yes.

It is important to note that a packet filter does not look into the IP data stream (the User Data from above) to make filtering decisions. Basic protocol types TCP: Transmission Control Protocol.
  • Page 193: Firewall Design Rules

    Firewall design rules There are two basic rules to firewall design: “What is not explicitly allowed is denied.” “What is not explicitly denied is allowed.” The first rule is far more secure, and is the best approach to firewall design. It is far easier (and more secure) to allow in or out only certain services and deny anything else.
  • Page 194 13-22 Administration Guide Logical AND function When a packet is compared (in most cases) a logical AND function is performed. First the IP addresses and subnet masks are converted to binary and then combined with AND. The rules for the logical use of AND are as follows: 0 AND 0 = 0 0 AND 1 = 0...

    In the source or destination IP address fields, the IP address that is entered must be the network address of the subnet. A host address can be entered, but the applied subnet mask must be 32 bits (255.255.255.255). The Netopia 4752 has the ability to compare source and destination TCP or UDP ports. These options are as follows:...

  • Page 199: Lan Ip Filtersets

    LAN IP Filtersets The Netopia 4752 offers LAN-side filtering on the Ethernet hub. This permits multiple IP addresses or subnets on the Ethernet LAN to be kept separate from one another and operate as virtual independent networks sharing a single Internet connection. Small- to medium-sized offices can benefit by using a single router to connect to the Internet, with multiple businesses within the office using independent subnets on the network.

  • Page 203 Choosing RADIUS Only causes the router to ignore the local database and to authenticate users using the configured RADIUS server. Choosing RADIUS then Local causes the router to attempt to authenticate a user first using a RADIUS server and then, if that fails, using the local authentication database.
  • Page 204: Warning Alerts

    In addition to specifying the server’s hostname or IP address, you must also specify a RADIUS Server Secret and an Alt RADIUS Server Secret (if configured) known to both the router and the RADIUS server. The secret is used to encrypt RADIUS transactions in transit. The RADIUS Server Secret items are limited to 31 characters.

  • Page 247: Example: Using Subnets On A Class C Ip Internet

    When setting up IP routing with a Class A address, or even with multiple Class C addresses, subnetting is fairly straightforward. Subnetting a single Class C address between two networks, however, is more complex. This section describes the general procedures for subnetting a single Class C network between two Netopia routers so that each can have Internet access.

    These two methods are not mutually exclusive; you can manually issue some of the addresses while the rest are distributed by the Netopia 4752. Using the router in this way allows it to function as an address server. One reason to use the Netopia 4752 as an address server is that it takes less time than manually distributing the addresses.

    Once the Mac workstation requests and receives a valid address, the Netopia 4752 actively checks for the workstation’s existence once every minute. For a dynamic address, the Netopia 4752 releases the address back to the address pool after it has lost contact with the Mac workstation for over 2 minutes.
