  • Page 31: Introduction To Protocols And Routing

    Introduction to Protocols and Routing If this is your first time using a router, there may be many terms and ideas with which you are not familiar. This chapter outlines some of the basic principles of routing. This chapter contains the following sections: •...
  • Page 32: Routing Concepts

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Routing Concepts The cost of installing and running a network to meet an organization’s communication needs, has generally been proportional to the distance over which the network extends, and the range of services required. Large amounts of data can be moved easily and relatively...
  • Page 33: Default Values

    To work effectively, routers gather information about networks connected to them and update the other routers on the network with this information. In this way they build up a logical picture of the network, known as a routing table, and they work out the quickest route to other networks.
  • Page 34: Integrated Services Digital Network (Isdn)

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Select the router (it is shown as blue and has a name of NoConfig). Make your configuration changes using Nautica Wizard. When a new IP address has been set for the router, it is possible to open a Telnet session to it once more by using the Operations >...
  • Page 35: Figure

    ISDN means that your organization no longer needs to lease 64 Kb/s or lower-speed lines to interconnect LANs. The Nautica series can take advantage of widespread ISDN availability by providing several Basic Rate Interfaces (BRI) or a Primary Rate Interface PRI), providing up to 30 “B” channels in Europe or 23 “B”...
  • Page 36: Data Compression

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Some models in the Nautica series have both ISDN and leased line connections to allow users to test network utilization in real time over ISDN before committing to leased circuits. As traffic patterns change, leased circuits or ISDN can also be added or removed at any site without making equipment redundant.
  • Page 37: Figure

    • A Nautica router can be configured to act as a Network Access server (NAS) in networks where Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) authentication is used. • Comprehensive filtering, by source and destination IP address, port number and protocol type, provides security for sensitive applications and optimizes WAN use.
  • Page 38 NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Many client/server-based network protocols broadcast Idle (no data being sent) or Hello (ready and active) frames regularly, making them unsuitable for cost-effective bridging or routing across ISDN by constantly bringing up lines for non-important calls. The Nautica routers solve this by filtering broadcast and multicast frames, while intelligently routing and spoofing protocols.
  • Page 39: Routing Ipx Over Isdn

    Routing IPX over ISDN The Nautica series routers have a complete set of Novell spoofing algorithms, so they can emulate the remote network locally and eliminate unnecessary transmissions over the ISDN link. The Nautica router deals intelligently with IPX RIP packets, IPX Watchdog Packets, Serialization packets and SPX packets from each client and server.
  • Page 40: Connecting To Other Manufacturers' Routers

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Connecting to Other Manufacturers’ Routers When connecting LANs together, you may require each end of the WAN link to be attached to a router from a different manufacturer. This is not the best solution because, although the Bay Networks Nautica series routers can operate comfortably with other manufacturers’...
  • Page 41: Tcp/Ip

    TCP/IP TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the name of a family of data communication protocols used to connect computers and data communication equipment to computer networks. TCP/IP was originally developed for the U.S. Department of Defense, but its use spread rapidly to other government facilities and to universities.
  • Page 42: Figure 1-2. Ip Address Class Types

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide The three main address classes are shown below, with the network and host (node) sections of the address for each class. Figure 1-2. Class A addresses use an 8-bit network number and a 24-bit node number. Class A addresses are in the range 001.xxx.xxx.xxx to 127.xxx.xxx.xxx (addresses 127.xxx.xxx.xxx are reserved and...
  • Page 43: Subnet Addressing

    Introduction to Protocols and Routing Subnet Addressing Even with a Class C address, there is a large number of hosts per network. This is an inefficient use of addresses if each end of a routed link needs a different network number, because it is unlikely that the smaller-office LANs would have that many devices.
  • Page 44: Address Resolution

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Address Resolution An IP address alone cannot be used to deliver data to another device on a LAN. To send data to another point on the network, the IP address must be converted to a unique identifier for the destination device on an Ethernet LAN.
  • Page 45: Ip Routing Information Protocol

    IP Routing Information Protocol One of the protocols used to build and maintain this picture of the network is the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). This is a distance vector protocol, which means that all the decisions about which path to use are based upon the distance between source and destination.
  • Page 46: Supported Rip Types

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Supported RIP Types Nautica routers support both RIP1 and RIP2. RIP2 has several enhancements, including the ability to transmit sub-address information with the routing table, allowing networks with variable-length sub-networks to be supported. Introduction to IPX The Nautica series also supports Novell’s IPX protocol.
  • Page 47: Ipx Service Advertising Protocol

    Novell IPX uses a 32-bit network address number, followed by the 48-bit node number (usually the MAC address), followed by the 16-bit socket number. IPX Service Advertising Protocol IPX routers collect Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) information from servers on the Novell network. This SAP information is broadcast every 60 seconds to all directly connected networks, to allow clients to find out the location of those services provided by the servers on the network.
  • Page 48: Routing Updates

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Routing Updates On the Nautica routers, routing operates in two ways: For Leased Circuits and Permanent Connections The process of regular routing update broadcasts used in IPX and IP works well with a leased circuit or permanent type connection, where the circuit is either functioning (passing data and routing updates) or not functioning (routing updates are not received).
  • Page 49: Open Shortest Path First (Ospf)

    A call that has been made for data transfer will not be kept open by routing updates, because these are not included in the idle calculation for that call. All routing updates received while the connection is closed are copied to the local routing table(s), and the table information is transferred automatically when the next call is made.
  • Page 50: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (Dhcp)

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) DHCP has been included in the Nautica software to make use of the Bootstrap Protocol (BootP) Relay Agent and DHCP server options. DHCP is a defined framework for providing network hosts on a TCP/IP network with configuration data, specifically...
  • Page 51: Dhcp Protocol Transaction

    DHCP Protocol Transaction The DHCP Protocol Transaction takes the following pattern (Figure The client broadcasts a discover message. This discover message contains basic information from the client, for example the MAC address. Multiple servers can respond to this message with an offer message.
  • Page 52: Figure 1-3. Dhcp Protocol Transaction

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Figure 1-3. DHCP Protocol Transaction To set up the current router as a DHCP server, the DHCP-Enable parameter at the system# object prompt in BCC must be set to YES. For more information on DHCP and how it should be configured, please refer to Chapter 13.
  • Page 53: Bootp Relay Agent

    BootP Relay Agent As a Bootstrap Protocol (BootP) relay agent, a Nautica router repeats BootP request and response datagrams across selected interfaces. Allocated and/or relinquished addresses are monitored by the BootP relay agent and are notified to the cul-de-sac routing system.
  • Page 54: Dial-In User Pptp (Microsoft Fep)

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide PPTP has been implemented in the Nautica range of products to allow maximum application flexibility with easy configuration. The following examples are intended to highlight the issues, features and benefits of PPTP. Dial-In User PPTP (Microsoft FEP) Figure 1-4.
  • Page 55: Address Translation

    Address Translation Figure 1-5. Address Translation In this example the client PC needs to send information to a non-PPTP enabled host on a remote LAN. The client PC might also have a non-compliant, internally issued IP address which is not compatible with the Internet. PPP is the protocol used to send information to the remote LAN, but it is not possible to send PPP on a local Ethernet LAN.
  • Page 56: Bridging

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Bridging If a non-routed protocol is to be forwarded to another network, Nautica series routers can also function as bridges at the same time. Unlike a router, a bridge operating at the data link layer forwards all frames (regardless of their network address or protocol) to the remote unit, if the destination address is known to be reachable there.
  • Page 57: Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (Bacp)

    Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP) BACP provides a flexible and effective way to add and remove bandwidth between two peers. The BACP protocol negotiates pre-defined options during the first part of a valid call. When BACP has successfully negotiated on any of the links, it is then accessible for all of the links for that particular call.
  • Page 58: The Nautica Implementation Of Bacp

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide • Call-Request: If a caller has reached pre-defined parameters, the caller will make a Call-Request requesting a phone number to dial for the additional bandwidth. The destination can reply Yes or No to this request. If the caller receives a No, the caller will continue with the current allocated bandwidth.
  • Page 59 Parameter: Function: Parameter: Function: Note: the path on which BACP is set must have callback number (cnum) values. Parameter: Function: 117237-E Rev.00 Introduction to Protocols and Routing MLink-Enable (Multilink) With this option enabled, when the threshold limits are reached for a path, MPP will bring up a second link for additional bandwidth.

Parameter: Function: Instructions: 1-30 Demand Threshold Period (Nautica Wizard) Dem-Period (BCC) This parameter is a time period set in seconds (the default is 10 seconds) and working in conjunction with the Demand Threshold (Dem-Thresh-PC) parameter.
  • Page 61: Call Request (Example)

    Call Request (Example) In this example, the caller governs the request for extra bandwidth. The parameters set on the caller’s and Internet Service Provider’s (ISPs) units are as follows: Caller Setup MLink and BACP enabled Demand Threshold = 80% Demand Period = 30s Idle Threshold 20% Max Bandwidth 128000 CNum 1/...

  • Page 63: Callback Request (Example)

    Callback Request (Example) In this example, the caller and the ISP have different BACP settings, but the ISP still governs the extra bandwidth. Caller Setup MLink and BACP enabled Demand Threshold = 80% Demand Period = 30s Idle Threshold 20% Max Bandwidth 128000 CNum 1/ The caller requests a connection from the ISP:...

  • Page 65: Network Address Translation (Nat)

    Network Address Translation (NAT) Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method for translating an internal IP address or network into a single globally unique IP address. There are several benefits for using NAT, internal address re-use; use of unregistered addresses; the ability to hide internal network addresses;...
  • Page 66: Figure 1-7. Nat With An Internal Network

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide • A network of devices behind the Nautica router. Figure 1-7. In this scenario network are configured with internal addresses. The Nautica router translates between these addresses and the single external address. It also works out for which device an incoming packet is destined.
  • Page 67: Nat Functionality

    NAT Functionality NAT functions at the interface between the paths on the router and the router engine. This allows NAT to use the path’s IP address facilitating the scenario shown in this level to allow NAT to manipulate the higher level protocols. The protocols used with NAT in a Nautica router are ICMP (UDP, TCP), SMTP, POP3, HTTP, FTP, TFTP, Telnet, RLogin, NNTP and X11.
  • Page 68: Blacklisting Routes

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide With a packet from the internal network going out, the source address is translated to the NAT address of the router. The source port address is also translated to a unique value so that replies can be passed back to the correct internal device.
  • Page 69 Introduction to Protocols and Routing Paths are blacklisted if the initial, dialed, call to the path fails to connect to the remote unit. This does not include a call that has been answered but dropped due to either a protocol negotiation failure or a security failure.
  • Page 70: Trivial File Transfer Protocol (Tftp)

    NauticaRS 5.5R Reference Guide Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simple protocol used to exchange files between different units and networks for the purposes of updating. It lacks most of the features of file Transfer Protocol (FTP), being able to read/write only to a file with basic error correction.
  • Page 71 In NauticaRS5.5R, the private address is usually the address of the path to the local network (ETH/LAN01). The public address is created by the administrator, and this is done in one of two ways: A numbered link is created to a remote router, allowing a second address on the path.
