DNS
A Domain Name Server (DNS) is an index of IP addresses and Web
addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as
www.smc.com, a DNS server will find that name in its index and find the
matching IP address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Most ISPs provide a DNS server
for speed and convenience. Since your Service Provider may connect to
the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP's
are also provided dynamically. However, if there is a DNS server that you
would rather use, you need to specify the IP address here.

Virtual Server
If you configure the Barricade as a virtual server, remote users accessing
services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can
be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP
addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP
port number), the Barricade redirects the external service request to the
appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).
For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and
the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from
outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by
just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access
the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.
The more common TCP service ports include:
HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110.
A list of ports is maintained at the following link:

RIP
Parameter Description
General RIP Parameters
RIP mode Globally enables or disables RIP.
Auto summary If Auto summary is disabled, then RIP packets will
include sub-network information from all
sub-networks connected to the router. If enabled,
this sub-network information will be summarized
to one piece of information covering all
sub-networks.
Table of current Interface RIP parameter
Interface The WAN interface to be configured.
Operation Mode Disable: RIP disabled on this interface.
Enable: RIP enabled on this interface.
Silent: Listens for route broadcasts and updates its
route table. It does not participate in sending route
broadcasts.
Version Sets the RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
version to use on this interface.
C
ONFIGURATION
PARAMETERS
4-51
RIP sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the
network topology changes. When a router receives a routing update that
includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the new
route. RIP routers maintain only the best route to a destination. After
updating its routing table, the router immediately begins transmitting
routing updates to inform other network routers of the change.
Poison Reverse A method for preventing loops that would cause
endless retransmission of data traffic.
Authentication Required • None: No authentication.
• Password: A password authentication key is
included in the packet. If this does not match
what is expected, the packet will be discarded.
This method provides very little security as it
is possible to learn the authentication key by
watching RIP packets.
• MD5: An algorithm that is used to verify data
integrity through the creation of a 128-bit
message digest from data input (which may
be a message of any length) that is claimed to
be as unique to that specific data as a
fingerprint is to a specific individual.

that corresponds to “0” is part of the host number.
Gateway The IP address of the router at the next hop to which frames are
forwarded.
Interface The local interface through which the next hop of this route is
reached.
Metric When a router receives a routing update that contains a new or
changed destination network entry, the router adds 1 to the metric
value indicated in the update and enters the network in the routing
table.

Firewall
The Barricade Router’s firewall inspects packets at the application layer,
maintains TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the
number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent
certain types of network attacks.
Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and
networks with a connection to the Internet. Their goal is not to steal
information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have
access to network resources.
The Barricade protects against the following DoS attacks: IP Spoofing,
Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port
loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding.
(For details see page 4-60.)
The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise
enabling the function to protect your network.

Intrusion Detection
• Intrusion Detection Feature
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default:
Enabled) — The Intrusion Detection Feature of the Barricade Router
limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is
turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked except for those types
marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.
RIP Defect (Default: Enabled) — If an RIP request packet is not
acknowledged to by the router, it will stay in the input queue and not be
released. Accumulated packets could cause the input queue to fill, causing
severe problems for all protocols. Enabling this feature prevents the
packets from accumulating.
Discard Ping to WAN (Default: Disabled) — Prevent a ping on the

•Stateful Packet Inspection
This is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the
contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it
ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the
current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications
are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with
sources that are known and trusted from previous interactions. In addition
to being more rigorous in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection
firewalls also close off ports until connection to the specific port is
requested.
When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of
traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be allowed. For example, if the
user only checks “FTP Service” in the Stateful Packet Inspection section,
all incoming traffic will be blocked except for FTP connections initiated
from the local LAN.
Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different application types
that are using dynamic port numbers. If you wish to use the Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI) to block packets, click on the Yes radio button in the
“Enable SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection” field and then check the
inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation, TCP
Connection, UDP Session, FTP Service, H.323 Service, or TFTP Service.

Fast Path
FEC Correction There are two latency paths that may be used: fast
and interleaved. For either path, a forward error
correction (FEC) scheme is employed to ensure
higher data integrity. For maximum noise
immunity, an interleaver may be used to
supplement FEC.
Interleaved Path
FEC Correction An interleaver is basically a buffer used to introduce
a delay, allowing for additional error correction
techniques to handle noise. Interleaving slows the
data flow and may not be optimal for real-time
signals such as video transmission.
Fast Path CRC

errors.

DDNS
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) provides users on the Internet
with a method to tie their domain name to a computer or server. DDNS
allows your domain name to follow your IP address automatically by
having your DNS records changed when your IP address changes.
This DNS feature is powered by DynDNS.org or NO-IP.com or
TZO.com. With a DDNS connection you can host your own web site,
email server, FTP site, and more at your own location even if you have a
dynamic IP address.

• Check connections between the Barricade, the
external power supply, and the wall outlet.
• If the power indicator does not turn on when the
power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem
with the power outlet, power cord, or external power
supply. However, if the unit powers off after running
for a while, check for loose power connections, power
losses, or surges at the power outlet.
If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the
external power supply may be defective. In this case,
contact Technical Support for assistance.

powered on.
• Be sure the cable is plugged into both the Barricade
and the corresponding device.
• Verify that the proper cable type is used and that its
length does not exceed the specified limits.
• Be sure that the network interface on the attached
device is configured for the proper communication
speed and duplex mode.
• Check the adapter on the attached device and cable
connections for possible defects. Replace any
defective adapter or cable if necessary.
Network Connection Problems
Cannot ping the
Barricade from

LAN
• Verify that the IP addresses are properly configured.
For most applications, you should use the Barricade’s
DHCP function to dynamically assign IP addresses to
hosts on the attached LAN. However, if you manually
configure IP addresses on the LAN, verify that the
same network address (network component of the IP
address) and subnet mask are used for both the
Barricade and any attached LAN devices.
• Be sure the device you want to ping (or from which
you are pinging) has been configured for TCP/IP.
