Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your system from
potential damage.
Safety Cautions
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment, observe the following
precautions:
• Observe and follow service markings.
• Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation.
• Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt
may expose you to electrical shock.
• Only a trained service technician should service components inside these compartments.
• If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace the
part or contact your trained service provider:
• The power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.
• An object has fallen into the product.
• The product has been exposed to water.
• The product has been dropped or damaged.
• The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions.
• Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet
environment. If the system gets wet, see the appropriate section in your troubleshooting guide or
contact your trained service provider.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by
shorting out interior components.
• Use the product only with approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
• Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical ratings
label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your service provider or local
power company.
• Also, be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your
location.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or
for any AC powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use
in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked
on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater
than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into properly grounded
electrical outlets.

Preface
• These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a
3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products
plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit
for the extension cable or power strip.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a
surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or
tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications.
• Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if offered with your system,
observe the following guidelines:
• Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.
• Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
• If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all
power cables from the power supplies.
• Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly connected to the system.
Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.

Preface
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static
electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can
do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the
component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component
in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static
electricity from your body.
2. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or package.
3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads,
workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.

Introduction
D-Link Services Routers offer a secure, high performance networking solution to address the growing needs
of small and medium businesses. Integrated high -speed IEEE 802.11n and 3G wireless technologies offer
comparable performance to traditional wired networks, but with fewer limitations. Optimal network security is
provided via features such as virtual private network (VPN) tunnels, IP Security ( IPsec), Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Empower your road warriors
with clientless remote access anywhere and anytime using SSL VPN tunnels.
With the D-Link Services Router you are able to experience a diverse set of benefits:
• Comprehensive Management Capabilities
The DSR-500, DSR-500N, DSR-1000 and DSR-1000N include dual-WAN Gigabit Ethernet which
provides policy-based service management ensuring maximum productivity for your business
operations. The failover feature maintains data traffic without disconnecting when a landline
connection is lost. The Outbound Load Balancing feature adjusts outgoing traffic across two
WAN interfaces and optimizes the system performance resulting in high availability. The
solution supports configuring a port as a dedicated DMZ port allowing you to isolate servers
from your LAN.
Note: The DSR-150/150N/250/250N products have a single WAN interface, and thus do not support
Auto Failover or Load Balancing scenarios.
• Superior Wireless Performance
Designed to deliver superior wireless performance, the DSR-500N and DSR-1000N include
802.11 a/b/g/n support, allowing for operation on either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio bands.
Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) technology allows the DSR-500N and DSR-1000N to provide
high data rates with minimal “dead spots” throughout the wireless coverage area.
Note: The DSR-150N, DSR-250N, and DSR-500N support the 2.4GHz radio band only.
• Flexible Deployment Options
The DSR-1000/1000N supports Third Generation (3G) Networks via an extendable USB 3G
dongle. This 3G network capability offers an additional secure data connection for networks
that provide critical services. The DSR-1000N can be configured to automatically switch to a 3G
network whenever a physical link is lost.
• Robust VPN features
A fully featured virtual private network (VPN) provides your mobile workers and branch
offices with a secure link to your network. The DSR-150/150N/250/250N, DSR-500/500N and
DSR-1000/1000N are capable of simultaneously managing 5, 5, 10, 20 Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) VPN tunnels respectively, empowering your mobile users by providing remote access to
a central corporate database. Site-to-site VPN tunnels use IP Security (IPsec) Protocol, Pointto-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to facilitate branch
office connectivity through encrypted virtual links. The DSR-150/150N, DSR-250/250N, DSR500/500N, and DSR-1000/1000N support 10, 25, 35 and 75 simultaneous IPsec VPN tunnels
respectively.

Section 4 - LAN Configuration
LAN Configuration
By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to the hosts on the LAN
and WLAN network. With DHCP, PCs and other LAN devices can be assigned IP addresses as well as addresses
for DNS servers, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) servers, and the default gateway. With DHCP server
enabled the router’s IP address serves as the gateway address for LAN and WLAN clients. The PCs in the LAN are
assigned IP addresses from a pool of addresses specified in this procedure. Each pool address is tested before it
is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings are satisfactory. If you want another PC on your
network to be the DHCP server or if you are manually configuring the network settings of all of your PCs, set the
DHCP mode to ‘none’. DHCP relay can be used to forward DHCP lease information from another DHCP server on
the network. This is particularly useful for wireless clients.
Instead of using a DNS server, you can use a Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server. A WINS server is the
equivalent of a DNS server but uses the NetBIOS protocol to resolve host names. The router includes the WINS
server IP address in the DHCP configuration when acknowledging a DHCP request from a DHCP client.
You can also enable DNS proxy for the LAN. When this is enabled the router then as a proxy for all DNS requests
and communicates with the ISP’s DNS servers. When disabled all DHCP clients receive the DNS IP addresses of
the ISP.

In Access mode the port is a member of a single VLAN
(and only one). All data going into and out of the port is
untagged. Traffic through a port in access mode looks
like any other Ethernet frame.
In General mode the port is a member of a user selectable
set of VLANs. The port sends and receives data that is
tagged or untagged with a VLAN ID. If the data into the
port is untagged, it is assigned the defined PVID.
For example, if Port 3 is a General port with PVID 3, then
the untagged data into Port 3 will be assigned PVID 3. All
tagged data sent out of the port with the same PVID will
be untagged. This is mode is typically used with IP Phones
that have dual Ethernet ports. Data coming from phone
to the switch port on the router will be tagged. Data
passing through the phone from a connected device will
be untagged.
Note: The DSR-150/150N do not support General mode due
to hardware limitations.
In Trunk mode the port is a member of a user
selectable set of VLANs. All data going into and out
of the port is tagged. Untagged coming into the port
is not forwarded, except for the default VLAN with
PVID=1, which is untagged. Trunk ports multiplex

DMZ
This router supports one of the physical ports to be configured as a secondary WAN Ethernet port or a dedicated
DMZ port. A DMZ is a sub network that is open to the public but behind the firewall. The DMZ adds an additional
layer of security to the LAN, as specific services/ports that are exposed to the internet on the DMZ do not have
to be exposed on the LAN. It is recommended that hosts that must be exposed to the internet (such as web or
email servers) be placed in the DMZ network.
Firewall rules can be allowed to permit access specific services/ports to the DMZ from both the LAN or WAN. In
the event of an attack to any of the DMZ nodes, the LAN is not necessarily vulnerable as well.
DMZ configuration is identical to the LAN configuration. There are no restrictions on the IP address or subnet
assigned to the DMZ port, other than the fact that it cannot be identical to the IP address given to the LAN
interface of this gateway.
Note: For the DSR-500N and 1000N, in order to configure a DMZ port, the router’s configurable port must be set to
DMZ in the Network > Internet > DMZ Settings page.

This router supports multiple WAN links. This allows you to take advantage of failover and load balancing
features to ensure certain internet dependent services are prioritized in the event of unstable WAN connectivity
on one of the ports.
To use Auto Failover or Load Balancing, WAN link failure detection must be configured. This involves accessing
DNS servers on the internet or ping to an internet address (user defined). If required, you can configure the
number of retry attempts when the link seems to be disconnected or the threshold of failures that determines
if a WAN port is down.

(primary and secondary) must be configured to connect to the respective ISP’s before enabling this feature. The
secondary WAN port will remain unconnected until a failure is detected on the primary link (either port can be
assigned as the primary). In the event of a failure on the primary port, all internet traffic will be rolled over to
the backup port. When configured in Auto-Failover mode, the link status of the primary WAN port is checked at

Load Balancing
Path: Network > Internet > WAN Mode
This feature allows you to use multiple WAN links (and presumably multiple ISP’s) simultaneously. After
configuring more than one WAN port, the load balancing option is available to carry traffic over more than one
link. Protocol bindings are used to segregate and assign services over one WAN port in order to manage internet
flow. The configured failure detection method is used at regular intervals on all configured WAN ports when in
Load Balancing mode.
This router currently supports three algorithms for Load Balancing:
Round Robin: This algorithm is particularly useful when the connection speed of one WAN port greatly
differs from another. In this case you can define protocol bindings to route low-latency services (such
as VOIP) over the higher -speed link and let low-volume background traffic (such as SMTP) go over the
lower speed link. Protocol binding is explained in next section.
Spillover: If Spillover method is selected, the primary WAN acts as a dedicated link until a defined
bandwidth threshold are reached. After this, the secondary WAN will be used for new connections.
Inbound connections on the secondary WAN are permitted with this mode, as the spillover logic governs
outbound connections moving from the primary to secondary WAN. You can configure spillover mode
by using following options:
• Load Tolerance: It is the percentage of bandwidth after which the router switches to
secondary WAN.
• Max Bandwidth: This sets the maximum bandwidth tolerable by the primary WAN for
outbound traffic.
If the link bandwidth of outbound traffic goes above the load tolerance value of max bandwidth, the
router will spillover the next connections to secondary WAN.
For example, if the maximum bandwidth of primary WAN is 1Kbps and the load tolerance is set to 70. Now
every time a new connection is established the bandwidth increases. After a certain number of connections say
bandwidth reached 70% of 1Kbps, the new outbound connections will be spilled over to secondary WAN. The
maximum value of load tolerance is 80% and the minimum is 20%.
Note: The DSR-1000, DSR-1000N, DSR-500, and DSR-500N routers support the traffic load balancing between physical
WAN port and a 3G USB Modem.
Load balancing is particularly useful when the connection speed of one WAN port greatly differs from another.
In this case you can define protocol bindings to route low-latency services (such as VOIP) over the higher-speed
link and let low-volume background traffic (such as SMTP) go over the lower speed link.

Routing Mode
Routing between the LAN and WAN will impact the way this router handles traffic that is received on any of
its physical interfaces. The routing mode of the gateway is core to the behavior of the traffic flow between the
secure LAN and the internet.
NAT or Classical
Path: Network > Internet > Routing Mode
With classical routing, devices on the LAN can be directly accessed from the internet with their public IP addresses
(assuming appropriate firewall settings are configured). If your ISP has assigned an IP address for each of the
computers/devices that you use, select Classical.
NAT is a technique which allows several computers and devices on your local network to share an Internet
connection. The computers on the LAN use a “private” IP address range while the WAN port on the router is
configured with a single “public” IP address. Along with connection sharing, NAT also hides internal IP addresses
from the computers on the Internet. NAT is required if your ISP has assigned only one IP address to you. The
computers/devices that connect through the router will need to be assigned IP addresses from a private subnet.

Transparent
When Transparent Routing Mode is enabled, NAT is not performed on traffic between the LAN and WAN
interfaces. Broadcast and multicast packets that arrive on the LAN interface are switched to the WAN and vice
versa, if they do not get filtered by firewall or VPN policies. To maintain the LAN and WAN in the same broadcast
domain select Transparent mode, which allows bridging of traffic from LAN to WAN and vice versa, except
for router-terminated traffic and other management traffic. All DSR features (such as 3G modem support) are
supported in transparent mode assuming the LAN and WAN are configured to be in the same broadcast domain.
Note: NAT routing has a feature called “NAT Hair -pinning” that allows internal network users on the LAN and DMZ to
access internal servers (e.g., an internal FTP server) using their externally-known domain name. This is also referred to as
“NAT loopback” since LAN generated traffic is redirected through the firewall to reach LAN servers by their external name.

When Bridge Mode routing is enabled, the first physical LAN port and secondary WAN/DMZ (port 2) interfaces
are bridged together at Layer 2, creating an aggregate network. The other LAN ports and the primary WAN
(WAN1) are not part of this bridge, and the router asks as a NAT device for these other ports. With Bridge mode
for the LAN port 1 and WAN2/DMZ interfaces, L2 and L3 broadcast traffic as well as ARP / RARP packets are
passed through. When WAN2 receives tagged traffic the tag information will be removed before the packet is
forwarded to the LAN port 1 interface.

Path: Network > Routing > RIP
Dynamic routing using the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is
common in LANs. With RIP this router can exchange routing information with other supported routers in the
LAN and allow for dynamic adjustment of routing tables in order to adapt to modifications in the LAN without
interrupting traffic flow.
Note: The DSR-150/150N/250/250N routers do not support RIP.

Description
The RIP direction will define how this router sends and receives RIP packets. Select one of the following:
• Both: The router both broadcasts its routing table and also processes RIP information received
from other routers. This is the recommended setting in order to fully utilize RIP capabilities.
• Out Only: The router broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not accept RIP information
from other routers.
• In Only: The router accepts RIP information from other routers, but does not broadcast its routing
table.
• None: The router neither broadcasts its route table nor does it accept any RIP packets from other
routers. This effectively disables RIP.
The RIP version is dependent on the RIP support of other routing devices in the LAN.
• Disabled: This is the setting when RIP is disabled.
• RIP-1: A class-based routing version that does not include subnet information. This is the most
commonly supported version.
• RIP-2: Includes all the functionality of RIPv1 plus it supports subnet information. Though the data
is sent in RIP-2 format for both RIP-2B and RIP-2M, the mode in which packets are sent is different.
RIP-2B broadcasts data in the entire subnet while RIP-2M sends data to multicast addresses.
Note: If RIP-2B or RIP-2M is the selected version, authentication between this router and other
routers (configured with the same RIP version) is required. MD5 authentication is used in a first/
second key exchange process. The authentication key validity lifetimes are configurable to ensure
that the routing information exchange is with current and supported routers detected on the LAN.

Access Points
Path: Wireless > General > Access Points
This router has an integrated 802.11n radio that allows you to create an access point for wireless LAN clients. The
security/encryption/authentication options are grouped in a wireless Profile, and each configured profile will be
available for selection in the AP configuration menu. The profile defines various parameters for the AP, including
the security between the wireless client and the AP, and can be shared between multiple APs instances on the
same device when needed.
Up to four unique wireless networks can be created by configuring multiple “virtual” APs . Each such virtual AP
appears as an independent AP (unique SSID) to supported clients in the environment, but is actually running on
the same physical radio integrated with this router.
Note: Profiles may be thought of as a grouping of AP parameters that can then be applied to not just one but multiple
AP instances (SSIDs), thus avoiding duplication if the same parameters are to be used on multiple AP instances or SSIDs.

Creating a profile allows you to assign the security type, encryption and authentication to use when connecting
the AP to a wireless client. The default mode is “open”, i.e., no security. This mode is insecure as it allows any
compatible wireless clients to connect to an AP configured with this security profile.
To create a new profile, use a unique profile name to identify the combination of settings. Configure a unique
SSID that will be the identifier used by the clients to communicate to the AP using this profile. By choosing to
broadcast the SSID, compatible wireless clients within range of the AP can detect this profile’s availability. The AP
offers all advanced 802.11 security modes, including WEP, WPA, and WPA2.

Radio Settings
Path: Wireless > General > Radio Settings
You may configure the channels and power levels available for the AP’s enabled on the router. The router has a dual
band 802.11n radio, meaning either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency of operation can be selected (not concurrently
though). Based on the selected operating frequency, the mode selection will let you define whether legacy
connections or only 802.11n connections (or both) are accepted on configured APs.
The ratified 802.11n support on this radio requires selecting the appropriate broadcast mode, and then defining
the channel spacing and control side band for 802.11n traffic. The default settings are appropriate for most
networks. For example, changing the channel spacing to 40MHz can improve bandwidth at the expense of
supporting earlier 802.11n clients. The available transmission channels are governed by regulatory constraints
based on the region setting of the router.

Path: Wireless > Advanced > WDS
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in a
network. This feature is only guaranteed to work between devices of the same type (i.e., using the same chipset/
driver).
When you enable WDS, use the same security configuration as the default access point. The WDS links do not
have true WPA/WPA2 support, as in there is no WPA key handshake performed. Instead the Session Key to be
used with a WDS Peer is computed using a hashing function (similar to the one used for computing a WPA PMK).
The inputs to this function are a PSK (configurable by an administrator from the WDS page) and an internal
“magic” string (non-configurable).
In effect the WDS links use TKIP/AES encryption, depending on the encryption configured for the default AP. In
case the default AP uses mixed encryption (TKIP + AES). The WDS link will use the AES encryption scheme.
Note: For a WDS link to function properly the Radio settings on the WDS peers have to be the same.

VPN
A VPN provides a secure communication channel (“tunnel”) between two gateway routers or a remote PC client.
The following types of tunnels can be created:
• Gateway-to-gateway VPN: To connect two or more routers to secure traffic between remote
sites.
• Remote Client (client-to-gateway VPN tunnel): A remote client initiates a VPN tunnel as the
IP address of the remote PC client is not known in advance. The gateway in this case acts as a
responder.
• Remote client behind a NAT router: The client has a dynamic IP address and is behind a NAT
Router. The remote PC client at the NAT router initiates a VPN tunnel as the IP address of the
remote NAT router is not known in advance. The gateway WAN port acts as responder.
• PPTP server for LAN / WAN PPTP client connections.
• L2TP server for LAN / WAN L2TP client connections.

IPSec VPN
Policies
Path: VPN > IPSec VPN > Policies
An IPsec policy is between this router and another gateway or this router and an IPsec client on a remote host.
The IPsec mode can be either tunnel or transport depending on the network being traversed between the two
policy endpoints.
• Transport: This is used for end-to-end communication between this router and the tunnel
endpoint, either another IPsec gateway or an IPsec VPN client on a host. Only the data payload
is encrypted and the IP header is not modified or encrypted.
• Tunnel: This mode is used for network-to-network IPsec tunnels where this gateway is one
endpoint of the tunnel. In this mode the entire IP packet including the header is encrypted
and/or authenticated.
When tunnel mode is selected, you can enable NetBIOS and DHCP over IPsec. DHCP over IPsec allows this router
to serve IP leases to hosts on the remote LAN. As well in this mode you can define the single IP address, range of
IPs, or subnet on both the local and remote private networks that can communicate over the tunnel.

3. Once the tunnel type and endpoints of the tunnel are defined you can determine the Phase 1/ Phase
2 negotiation to use for the tunnel. This is covered in the IPsec mode setting, as the policy can be
Manual or Auto. For Auto policies, the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol dynamically exchanges
keys between two IPsec hosts. The Phase 1 IKE parameters are used to define the tunnel’s security
association details.
The Phase 2 Auto policy parameters cover the security association lifetime and encryption/authentication
details of the phase 2 key negotiation.
The VPN policy is one half of the IKE/VPN policy pair required to establish an Auto IPsec VPN tunnel. The
IP addresses of the machine or machines on the two VPN endpoints are configured here, along with
the policy parameters required to secure the tunnel.

Section 7 - VPN
A Manual policy does not use IKE and instead relies on manual keying to exchange authentication
parameters between the two IPsec hosts. The incoming and outgoing security parameter index
(SPI) values must be mirrored on the remote tunnel endpoint. As well the encryption and integrity
algorithms and keys must match on the remote IPsec host exactly in order for the tunnel to establish
successfully. Note that using Auto policies with IKE are preferred as in some IPsec implementations the
SPI (security parameter index) values require conversion at each endpoint.
DSR routers supports VPN roll-over feature. This means that policies configured on the primary WAN
will rollover to the secondary WAN in case of a link failure. This feature can be used only if your WAN is
configured in Auto-Rollover mode.

SSL VPN
Server Policies
SSL VPN Policies can be created on a Global, Group, or User level. User level policies take precedence over Group
level policies and Group level policies take precedence over Global policies. These policies can be applied to a
specific network resource, IP address, or IP ranges on the LAN, or to different SSL VPN services supported by the
router. The List of Available Policies can be filtered based on whether it applies to a user, group, or all users (global).
To add a SSL VPN policy, you must first assign it to a user, group, or make it global (i.e., applicable to all SSL VPN
users). If the policy is for a group, the available configured groups are shown in a drop-down menu and one
must be selected. Similarly, for a user-defined policy, a SSL VPN user must be chosen from the available list of
configured users.
The next step is to define the policy details. The policy name is a unique identifier for this rule. The policy can
be assigned to a specific Network Resource (details follow in the subsequent section), IP address, IP network,
or all devices on the LAN of the router. Based on the selection of one of these four options, the appropriate
configuration fields are required (i.e., choosing the network resources from a list of defined resources, or defining
the IP addresses). For applying the policy to addresses the port range/port number can be defined.
The final steps require the policy permission to be set to either permit or deny access to the selected addresses
or network resources. As well the policy can be specified for one or all of the supported SSL VPN services (i.e. VPN
tunnel).
Once defined, the policy goes into effect immediately. The policy name, SSL service it applies to, destination
(network resource or IP addresses), and permission (deny/permit) is outlined in a list of configured policies for
the router.
Note: You must enable Remote Management. Refer to “Remote Management” on page 172.
To create a new SSL VPN policy:
1. Make sure you have enabled remote management and have created user(s) and group(s) to assign to
this policy.
2. Click VPN > SSL VPN > SSL VPN Server Policy.

Section 7 - VPN
Client
Path: VPN > SSL VPN > SSL VPN Client
An SSL VPN tunnel client provides a point-to-point connection between the browser-side machine and this
router. When a SSL VPN client is launched from the user portal, a "network adapter" with an IP address from the
corporate subnet, DNS and WINS settings is automatically created. This allows local applications to access services
on the private network without any special network configuration on the remote SSL VPN client machine.
It is important to ensure that the virtual (PPP) interface address of the VPN tunnel client does not conflict with
physical devices on the LAN. The IP address range for the SSL VPN virtual network adapter should be either in a
different subnet or non-overlapping range as the corporate LAN.
The router allows full tunnel and split tunnel support. Full tunnel mode just sends all traffic from the client
across the VPN tunnel to the router. Split tunnel mode only sends traffic to the private LAN based on prespecified client routes. These client routes give the SSL client access to specific private networks, thereby
allowing access control over specific LAN services.

1. Click VPN > SSL VPN > SSL VPN Client.

Client Routes
Path: VPN > SSL VPN > SSL VPN Client
If the SSL VPN client is assigned an IP address in a different subnet than the corporate network, a client route
must be added to allow access to the private LAN through the VPN tunnel. As well a static route on the private
LAN‘s firewall (typically this router) is needed to forward private traffic through the VPN Firewall to the remote
SSL VPN client.
When split tunnel mode is enabled, the user is required to configure routes for VPN tunnel clients:
• Destination network: The network address of the LAN or the subnet information of the
destination network from the VPN tunnel clients‘ perspective is set here.
• Subnet mask: The subnet information of the destination network is set here.
To configure a client route:
1. Click VPN > SSL VPN > Client Routes.

GRE
VPN > VPN Settings > GRE
GRE tunnels allow for broadcast traffic on the LAN of the router to be passed over the internet and received by
remote LAN hosts. This is primarily useful in the D-Link Discovery Protocol (DDP) application where broadcast
traffic from one LAN host is to be received by all LAN hosts in the local subnets of the GRE endpoints.
Note the following limits for the number of supported GRE tunnels per product:
• DSR-150/150N: 5
• DSR-250/250N: 10
• DSR-500/500N: 15
• DSR-1000/1000N: 20
There are two simple steps involved in establishing a GRE tunnel on the router:
1. Create a GRE tunnel from the GUI
2. Setup a static route for the remote local networks using the GRE tunnel
When creating the GRE tunnel, the IP Address should be a unique address that identifies that GRE tunnel endpoint.
It will be referenced in the other router’s static route as the Gateway IP address. The Remote End Address in the
GRE tunnel configuration page is the WAN IP address of the other endpoint router.
Once the tunnel is established, a static route on the router can be made using the interface set to the configured
GRE tunnel name. The destination IP address of the static route is the remote LAN subnet, and the route’s gateway
IP address will be the GRE tunnel IP of the terminating router (the same router that manages the remote LAN
subnet). Once these two steps are completed, all DDP broadcast traffic can flow between remote LAN subnets
via the GRE Tunnel.
To create a GRE tunnel:
1. Click VPN > GRE > GRE Tunnels.
2. Click Add New GRE Tunnel.

LDAP Server
Path: Security > Authentication > External Auth Server > LDAP Server
The LDAP authentication method uses LDAP to exchange authentication credentials between the router and an
external server. The LDAP server maintains a large database of users in a directory structure, so users with the
same user name but belonging to different groups can be authenticated since the user information is stored in
a hierarchal manner. Also of note is that configuring a LDAP server on Windows or Linux servers is considerably
less complex than setting up NT Domain or Active Directory servers for user authentication.
The details configured on the controller will be passed for authenticating the router and its hosts. The LDAP
attributes, domain name (DN), and in some cases the administrator account & password are key fields in allowing
the LDAP server to authenticate the controller.
To configure the router to connect to your LDAP server:
1. Click Security > Authentication > External Auth Server > LDAP Server tab.
2. Complete the LDAP server information from the table below and click Save. You can configure up to
three servers.

AD Server
Path: Security > Authentication > External Auth Server > AD Server
Active Directory authentication is an enhanced version of NT Domain authentication. The Kerberos protocol is
leveraged for authentication of users, who are grouped in Organizational Units (OUs). In particular the Active
Directory server can support more than a million users given is structure while the NT Domain server is limited to
thousands. The configured Authentication Servers and Active Directory domain(s) are used to validate the user
with the directory of users on the external Windows based server. This authentication option is common for SSL
VPN client users and is also useful for IPsec / PPTP / L2TP client authentication.
To configure the router to connect to your AD server:
1. Click Security > Authentication > External Auth Server > AD Server tab.

Firewall
Firewall Rules
Path: Security > Firewall > Firewall Rules > IPv4 Firewall Rules or IPv6 Firewall Rules
Inbound (WAN to LAN/DMZ) rules restrict access to traffic entering your network, selectively allowing only
specific outside users to access specific local resources. By default all access from the insecure WAN side are
blocked from accessing the secure LAN, except in response to requests from the LAN or DMZ. To allow outside
devices to access services on the secure LAN, you must create an inbound firewall rule for each service.
If you want to allow incoming traffic, you must make the router’s WAN port IP address known to the public. This is
called “exposing your host.” How you make your address known depends on how the WAN ports are configured;
for this router you may use the IP address if a static address is assigned to the WAN port, or if your WAN address
is dynamic a DDNS (Dynamic DNS) name can be used.
Outbound (LAN/DMZ to WAN) rules restrict access to traffic leaving your network, selectively allowing only
specific local users to access specific outside resources. The default outbound rule is to allow access from
the secure zone (LAN) to either the public DMZ or insecure WAN. On other hand the default outbound rule
is to deny access from DMZ to insecure WAN. You can change this default behavior in the Firewall Settings >
Default Outbound Policy page. When the default outbound policy is allow always, you can to block hosts on
the LAN from accessing internet services by creating an outbound firewall rule for each service.
To create a new firewall rule:
1. Click Security > Firewall > IPv4 Firewall Rules tab or IPv6 Firewall Rules tab.
2. Right-click an entry and select either Edit or Delete. To add a new group, click Add New IPv4/IPv6
Firewall Rule.
