4.3 Advanced Setup 4.3.1 Firewall Your router includes a firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN and helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
4.3.2 Routing If you have another router with a LAN-to-LAN connection, you may create a static routing on the router that is the gateway to Internet. #: Item number Dest IP: IP address of the destination network Mask: The destination mask address. Gateway IP: IP address of the gateway or existing interface that this route uses.
Page 56
ADD Route Destination IP Address:This is the destination subnet IP address. IP Subnet Mask:A subnet mask allows IP networks to be subdivided for security and performance purposes. Gateway IP Address:This is the gateway IP address to which packets are to be forwarded.
4.3.3 NAT The NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. The default setting is Dynamic NAT. It provides dynamic Network Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN connections, and the LAN traffic is routed to appropriate WAN connections based on the destination IP addresses and Route Table.
Page 58
The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms then passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other Virtual Server entries.
Page 59
Virtual Server In TCP/IP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”.
Page 60
Rule Index: Choose the rule number. Application: Choose the predefined rule from Application drop-down menu or enter a custom name. Protocol: Choose the Protocol Type, ALL, TCP or UDP. Start Port Number: Enter a port number as the beginning number of the range which you want to give to devices to access in this field.
Page 61
ALG Switch In the context of computer networking, an application-level gateway (also known as ALG or application layer gateway) consists of a security component that augments a firewall or NAT employed in a computer network. It allows customized NAT traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port translation for certain application layer "control/data"...
Page 62
IP Address Mapping Address Mapping Rule: Shows the PVC where the rule will be applied to Rule Index: Choose the rule number. Rule Type: One-to-one: This is the mode maps one local IP address to one global IP address. Note that port numbers do not change for the One-to-one NAT mapping type. Many-to-One: This is the mode maps multiple local IP addresses to one global IP address.
Page 63
local IP addresses, then enter 0.0.0.0 as the Local Start IP address and 255.255.255.255 as the Local End IP address. This field is N/A for One-to-one and Server mapping types. Public Start IP: This is the start range for Inside Public IP Address. Enter 0.0.0.0 here if you have a dynamic IP address from your ISP.
4.3.4 QoS Quality of Service (QoS) helps to prioritize data as it enters your router. By attaching special identification marks or headers to incoming packets, QoS determines which queue the packets enter, based on priority. This is useful when there are certain types of data you want to give higher priority to, such as voice data packets given higher priority than Web data packets.
Page 65
Rule You can set 16 different QoS rules. Each QoS rule has its detail setting conditions like: 802.1p application, DSCP, IP, MAC, Protocol, TOS, VLAN etc, you can modify the default value to any new one you wish. Please notice that only when the packet fulfill every detail setting conditions here, then this packet will be remarked as the priority queue of each rule.
Page 66
add header for this packet even the detail setting condition has adding 802.1p priority ability. Rule Index: Select 16 different rules, each rule’s detail can be set and saved. Active: Select QoS is activated or deactivated. Application: Select 11 different applications: IGMP, SIP, H.323, MGCP, SNMP, DNS, DHCP, RIP, RSTP, RTCP, RTP.
Page 67
IP Precedence Range: Select the IP precedence range. Type of Service: Select 5 different type of service. DSCP Range: Set the DSCP value that you want to filter. 802.1p: Set the remarked new 802.1p priority value on the packet that fulfill every detail setting condition of each rule.
4.3.5 ADSL ADSL Mode: The default setting is Auto Sync-Up. This mode will automatically detect your ADSL, ADSL2+, ADSL2, G.DMT, G.lite, and T1.413. But in some area, multimode cannot detect the ADSL line code well. If it is the case, please adjust the ADSL line code to G.DMT or T1.413 first.
ACL Rule Index: This is item number Secure IP Address: The default 0.0.0.0 allows any client to use this service to remotely manage the BiPAC 5200N RC Series. Type an IP address to restrict access to a client with a matching IP address.
4.4.2 Filter You can filter the packages by IP port, MAC and Application. Filter Type Filter Type Selection: There are three types “IP/MAC Filter”, “Application Filter”, and “URL Filter” that user can select for this connection. IP/MAC Filter Set Editing IP/MAC Filter Set Index: This is item number Interface: Select which channel (PVC) to configure.
