Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 21 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 Advanced The router supports a multitude of advanced features. For basic router functionality, the user does not need to utilize these advanced features. The features help with routing, security, port configuration, and plug-and-play capability. UPnp UPnP NAT and Firewall Traversal allow traffic to pass through the router for applications using the UPnP protocol. This feature requires one active DSL connection. In the presence of multiple DSL connections, select the one that the incoming traffic will be present, for example the default Internet connection. To enable UPnP, you must first have a WAN connection configured. Once a WAN connection is configured, from the Home screen click Advanced and under Advanced, select UPnP. This will bring up the screen shown below. You must enable UPnP and then select which connection will utilize UPnP.
Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 22 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 SNTP The main function of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is to provide the network with a precise time based on Internet standards. Enter the information of the SNTP server that you will be connecting to. When you click on the Enable SNTP checkbox, the grayed out fields will be available for you to enter the information.
Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 23 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 Port Forwarding Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for example web hosting) for people on the Internet or play Internet games. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Port forwarding can be used with DHCP assigned addresses but remember that a DHCP address is dynamic (not static). For example, if you were configuring a NetMeeting server, you would want to assign this server a static IP address so that the IP address is not reassigned. Also remember that if an Internet user is trying to access an Internet application, they must use the WAN IP address. The port forwarding will translate the WAN IP address into a LAN IP address. To configure a service, game, or other application select the external connection (for example the Internet connection), from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Port Forwarding. Next select the computer hosting the service and add the corresponding firewall rule. If you want to add a custom application, select the User category, click New and fill in the port, protocols and description for your application. IP Filters This firewall feature allows you to block network access based on a user's computer IP address. You can use this page to block specific traffic (for example block web access) or any traffic from a computer on your local network. To configure an IP Filter rule select the computers' IP address and add the corresponding firewall traffic definition from the Firewall Policy Database. If the traffic type is set to "Any", all network traffic from that computer will be blocked.
Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 24 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 LAN Clients To add a LAN client, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select LAN Clients. If DHCP is used, all DHCP clients are automatically assigned. If a fixed IP address server is on the LAN and you want this server to be visible via the WAN, you must add its IP address. Once the IP address has been added, you can apply Port Forwarding and Access Control rules to this IP address. The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. At the system commands page, click on Save.

Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 26 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 LAN Isolation LAN groups can be isolated from each other by blocking the LAN traffic from each group. TR-068 WAN Access The TR-068 WAN Access page allows for webpage update from the WAN side.
Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 27 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 Bridge Filters The bridge filtering mechanism provides a way for the users to define rules to allow/deny frames through the bridge based on source MAC address, destination MAC address and/or frame type. When bridge filtering is enabled, each frame is examined against the defined filter rules sequentially, and when a match is determined, the appropriate filtering action (determined by the access type selected, i.e. allow or deny) is performed. The user should note that the bridge filter only examines frames from interfaces that are part of the bridge itself. Twenty filter rules are supported with bridge filtering. To enable Bridge Filters, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Bridge Filters. The User Interface for Bridge Filter allows the user to add/edit/delete, as well as, enables the filter rules. To add rules, simply define the source MAC address, destination MAC address and frame type with desired filtering type (i.e. allow/deny), and press the “Add” button. The MAC address must be in a xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx format, with 00-00-00-00-00-00 as “automatically allow”. Blanks can be used in the MAC address space, and would be considered also as “automatically allow”. To edit/modify an existing filter rule, select the desired rule created previously from “Add” in the “Edit” select box. The selected filter rule will appear on top section, as with the “Add” filter rule. Make the desired change to the MAC address, frame type and/or access type, and press “Apply”. The “Enable Bridge Filters” button allows the user to enable or disable bridge filtering. It can be set/unset during any add/edit/delete operation. It can also be set/unset independently by just pressing the “Apply” button.
Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 28 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 Web Filters Web filters allow you to enable or disable certain computer applications to run. Dynamic DNS Client The router can also act as a dynamic DNS client connecting to one of the DNS servers listed. Enter the user name and password that has been provided.
Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 29 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 IGMP Proxy IGMP Proxy allows for forwarding of multicast traffic between networks. Static Routing If the router is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the router. The New Destination IP is the address of the remote LAN network or host to which you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a static route here. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the New Destination IP, while the last field should be 0. The Subnet Mask identifies which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. The router IP address should be the IP address of the router device that allows for contact between the router and the remote network or host. The Hop Count determines the maximum number of steps between network nodes that data packets will travel. A node is any device on the network (such as a router or switch).
Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 30 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 Dynamic Routing Dynamic Routing allows the router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network. The router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network. The Direction determines the direction that RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that the router will only incorporate received RIP information. Selecting Out means that the router will only send out RIP information. Selecting both means that the router will incorporate received RIP information and send out updated RIP information. The protocol is dependent upon the entire network. Most networks support Rip v1. If RIP v1 is selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v1 format. If Rip V2 is selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v2 format using subnet broadcasting. If Rip V1 Compatible is selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v2 format using multicasting.
Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 31 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 Policy Database The Policy Database page allows you to route packets based on the various fields in the packet. Fields that can be configured for this policy routing include the following— l Destination IP Address / Mask l Source IP Address / Mask l Source MAC Address l Protocol—TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc. l Source Port l Destination Port l Incoming Interace l DSCP Policy routing if selected, used the egress interface. Therefore the ingress interface is not applicable if policy routing is used.
Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 32 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 Ingress Ingress is the direction of traffic entering a network. QoS can be configured on a per interface basis. Select the interface—USB, Ethernet, Bridge—that needs to be configured. Egress Egress is the direction of a frame exiting an interface—USB, Ethernet, Bridge.
Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual 33 Version 1.0 Document #: BD-ZU0042-10 Shaper The shaper provides a way of determining priorities of different traffic classes. Access Control Specific types of traffic that is destined to a selected LAN IP address can be blocked. To enable any of the Access Control features, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Access Control. All Access Control rules have precedence over rules that were added via the port-forwarding page. The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. At the system commands page, click on Save All.
