Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by this Barricade:
• Wired and Wireless LAN
The Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and
wireless connection speed up to 300 Mbps. This router is fully
compliant with specifications defined in IEEE 802.11b, IEEE
802.11g and IEEE 802.11n draft v2.0 standards, making it easy to
create a network in small offices or homes.
• Internet Access
This device allows you to share your Cable/xDSL Internet
connection. Since many ADSL providers use PPPoE to establish
communications with end users, the Barricade includes a built-in
client for this protocol, eliminating the need to install these services
on your computer.
• Shared IP Address
The Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single
shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your
network can browse the web at the same time.
•Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Barricade to act as a
virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access
various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then,
depending on the requested service (or port number), the Barricade
can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP
address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and
provides more flexible management by allowing you to change
internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your
network.
A
PPLICATIONS
1-4
• DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an
Internet application from functioning correctly.
• Security
The Barricade supports security features that deny Internet access to
specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that the
administrator does not want to serve. The Barricade’s firewall also
blocks common hacker attacks, including 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.
WPA/WPA2, IEEE802.1x, WEP, SSID, and MAC filtering provide
security over the wireless network.
• Virtual Private Network (VPN Pass-through)
The Barricade supports three of the most commonly used VPN
protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. These VPN protocols are
transparent pass-through. The protocols supported by the Barricade
are briefly described below.
• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol – Provides a secure tunnel for
remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes
provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.
• L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F – Like PPTP,
L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.
• IP Security – Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can
support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using
digital certificates for device authentication.

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.

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“Intrusion Detection,” page 4-56.)

types marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.
RIP Defect (Default: Enabled) — If an RIP request packet is not

•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
C

B
ARRICADE
4-58
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

DMZ
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly
from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-
way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
host on this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose your local
network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.

UPnP
The Universal Plug and Play architecture offers pervasive peer-to-peer
network connectivity of PCs of all form factors, intelligent appliances, and
wireless devices.
UPnP enables seamless proximity network in addition to control and data
transfer among networked devices in the office, home and everywhere
within your network.
UPnP allows the device to automatically:
• join a network
• obtain an IP address
• convey its capabilities and learn about the presence and capabilities of
other devices.
Check the Enable radio button to activate this function.

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 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.

LED Indicators
Power LED is
off
• 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.

• Verify that the Barricade and attached device are
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
the attached
LAN, or the
Barricade cannot
ping any device
on the attached
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.

Wireless Problems
A wireless PC
cannot associate
with the
Barricade.
• Make sure the wireless PC has the same SSID settings
as the Barricade.
See “Channel and SSID” on page 4-26.
• You need to have the same security settings on the
clients and the Barricade. See “Security” on page 4-29.
The wireless
network is often
interrupted.
• Move your wireless PC closer to the Barricade to find
a better signal. If the signal is still weak, change the
angle of the antenna.
• There may be interference, possibly caused by
microwave ovens or wireless phones. Change the
location of the possible sources of interference or
change the location of the Barricade.
• Change the wireless channel on the Barricade. See
“Channel and SSID” on page 4-26.
• Check that the antenna, connectors, and cabling are
firmly connected.
The Barricade
cannot be
detected by a
wireless client.
• The distance between the Barricade and wireless PC is
too great.
• Make sure the wireless PC has the same SSID and
security settings as the Barricade. See “Channel and

Ethernet Cable
Caution:
Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port.
For
Ethernet connections, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform to FCC standards.
Specifications
Wiring Conventions
For Ethernet connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of
wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one
wire might be red and the other, red with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45
connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
Cable Types and Specifications
Cable Type Max. Length Connector
10BASE-T Cat. 3, 4, 5 100-ohm UTP 100 m (328 ft) RJ-45

Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific
orientation. The following figure illustrates how the pins on an Ethernet
RJ-45 connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same
orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.
