A basic understanding of IP will help you in configuring the Netopia R3100 and using some of its powerful features, such as static routes and packet filtering. In packets, a header is part of the envelope information that surrounds the actual data being transmitted. In e-mail, a header is usually the address and routing information found at the top of messages.
  • Page 256: Subnets And Subnet Masks

    E-2 User’s Reference Guide IP addresses indicate both the identity of the network and the identity of the individual host on the network. The number of bits used for the network number and the number of bits used for the host number can vary, as long as certain rules are followed.
  • Page 257: Example: Using Subnets On A Class C Ip Internet

    When setting up IP routing with a Class A Address, or even 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.

The ISP is providing a Class C address to the customer site, and both networks A and B want to gain Internet access through this address.

    These two methods are not mutually exclusive; you can manually issue some of the addresses while the rest are distributed by the Netopia R3100.

    = Committed burst = Excess burst CIR = Committed information rate = Beginning of interval = Interval B /CIR Addressing The logical address of a PVC is called the data link connection identifier (DLCI).

    When a router discovers a new, active PVC by communicating with the Frame Relay switch using the LMI protocol, it uses InARP to discover the IP address of the remote router on the other end of the PVC, when the PVC becomes active.

However, this type of switch configuration is supported by the Netopia R3100. Example SPIDs If your ISDN line is controlled by a DMS-100 switch using National ISDN-1, and your directory numbers are given as (415)234-5678 and (415)234-5679, your SPIDs are 41523456780101 and 41523456790201.

    An AppleTalk address always includes a network number wherever two or more AppleTalk networks are connected together by routers. AURP (Apple Update-based Router Protocol): An enhanced AppleTalk routing protocol. AURP provides improved support for AppleTalk over wide area networks (WANs) and tunneling through non-AppleTalk (IP) networks.
  • Page 306 CNA (Calling Number Authentication): A security feature that will reject an incoming call if it does not match the Calling Number field in one of the Netopia ISDN Router’s Connection Profiles. CND (Calling Number Delivery): Also known as caller ID, a feature that allows the Called Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) to receive a calling party’s directory number during the call establishment phase.
  • Page 307 LocalTalk networks are compatible with Phase II but are not extended because a single LocalTalk network cannot have multiple network numbers or multiple zone names. firmware: System software stored in a device’s memory that controls the device. The Netopia ISDN Router’s firmware can be updated.
  • Page 308 4 User’s Reference Guide internet: A set of networks connected together by routers. This is a general term, not to be confused with the large, multi-organizational collection of IP networks known as the Internet. An internet is sometimes also known as an internetwork.
  • Page 309 Glossary 5 NAT (Network Address Translation): A feature that allows communication between the LAN connected to the Netopia ISDN Router and the Internet using a single IP address, instead of having a separate IP address for each computer on the network.
  • Page 310 A physical or logical connection between a router and a network. Where a network only allows the use of one protocol, each physical connection corresponds to one logical router port. An example is the Netopia ISDN Router’s LocalTalk port. Where a network allows the use of several protocols, each physical connection may correspond to several logical router ports—one for each protocol used.
  • Page 311 WANs can span a state, a country, or even the world. WAN IP: In addition to being a router, the Netopia ISDN Router is also an IP address server. There are four protocols it can use to distribute IP addresses over the WAN which include: DHCP, BOOTP, IPCP and MacIP. WAN IP is a feature for both the Small Office and Corporate Netopia ISDN Router models.
