7.6 Firewall
In this section we will look over the various firewall features that come with RUT9.
7.6.1 General Settings
The routers firewall is a standard Linux iptables package, which uses routing chains and policies to facilitate
control over inbound and outbound traffic.
Field Name
Sample value
Explanation
1.
Drop Invalid
Checked/Unchecked
A “Drop” action is performed on a packet that is determined to be invalid
70
packets
2.
Input
Reject/Drop/Accept
DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Input chain.
3.
Output
Reject/Drop/Accept
DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Output chain.
4.
Forward
Reject/Drop/Accept
DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Forward chain.
*DEFAULT: When a packet goes through a firewall chain it is matched against all the rules for that specific chain. If
no rule matches said packet, an according Action (either Drop or Reject or Accept) is performed.
Accept – Packet gets to continue down the next chain.
Drop – Packet is stopped and deleted.
Reject – Packet is stopped, deleted and, differently from Drop, an ICMP packet containing a message of rejection
is sent to the source of the dropped packet.
7.6.2 DMZ
By enabling DMZ for a specific internal host (for e.g.: your computer), you will expose that host and its services to
the routers WAN network (i.e. - internet).
7.6.3 Port Forwarding
Here you can define your own port forwarding rules.
71
You can use port forwarding to set up servers and services on local LAN machines. The above picture shows how
you can set up a rule that would allow a website that is being hosted on 192.168.1.109, to be reached from the outside
by entering http://routersExternalIp:12345/.

7.6.6 DDOS Prevention
7.6.6.1 SYN Flood Protection
SYN Flood Protection allows you to protect from attack that exploits part of the normal TCP three-way handshake
to consume resources on the targeted server and render it unresponsive. Essentially, with SYN flood DDoS, the offender
sends TCP connection requests faster than the targeted machine can process them, causing network saturation.

7.6.6.4 HTTP Attack Prevention
HTTP attack sends a complete, legitimate HTTP header, which includes a 'Content-Length' field to specify the size
of the message body to follow. However, the attacker then proceeds to send the actual message body at an extremely
slow rate (e.g. 1 byte/110 seconds). Due to the entire message being correct and complete, the target server will
attempt to obey the 'Content-Length' field in the header, and wait for the entire body of the message to be transmitted,
hence slowing it down.

7.8 Load Balancing
Load balancing lets users divide traffic between different interfaces.
8 Remote monitoring and administration
RUT9XX supports multiple monitoring and administration possibilities. One can get routers information through
SMS or using RMS (Remote Management System). Furthermore, some system related parameters can be obtained using
MODBUSD or MQTT publisher services. How to use them are described in the 9.19 and 9.20 chapters respectively. The
main focus is on parameters, which change from time to time, like signal strength, operators name (it is quite common
to change of operator name in countries where inner roaming is used) or module temperature. Although it is also
possible to read more static values, like MAC address, router’s serial number and many others. The access to the
mentioned parameters is implemented in both MODBUSD and MQTT publisher applications. Apart from getting of
some parameters, MODBUSD also supports setting of some system related parameter, for example, change value of
digital output. Although it sounds frustrating, this functionality is sometimes useful and necessary.
Some applications, like MQTT publisher or RMS allows monitoring or administrating several routers from one
place. It is very useful functionality, when you have few routers and would like to change some parameter using single
application. RMS share some similarities with SSH (Secure Shell) and indeed, one of RMS feature is to allows SSH access
to remote router. There is no separate chapter about RMS in this manual, because the interface of RMS is very intuitive
and user friendly. You can access RMS by using your browser with supplied username and a password at
http://rms.teltonika.lt
By sending SMS to the router the user can execute some command, like reboot, switch wifi on or off and many
others. With each SMS the user need to specify router’s administrator password. This is done for authentication
purposes. The list of commands that may be executed through the SMS is limited. Full list of commands can be found on
Services-SMS Utilities of routers WEB page. More about router’s management using SMS can found in chapter 9.8.
Another interesting router monitoring solution is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). By not going
into deep details about this protocol, it is another manner to monitor router parameters. It allows the user to check
current operator, modem model and other router parameters. Compared to other applications and services, only SNMP
have ability to inform the user about the occurrence of specific event (called trap) in the system. The main drawback of
this protocol is, that it does not allow to change anything. You can read more about SNMP in chapter 8.9.
86
Apart from services mentioned earlier, there is one service, which is used only for communication between router
and Android type device (phones, etc’). It is called json-rpc and allows to set or get various parameters of the system.
JSON-RPC can execute the same commands, like user through SSH. To sum up, this approach opens wide possibilities in
communication between router and Android. However, there is no separate topic about JSON-RPC in this manual,
because this type of communication is generally not for end-user use.
Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. In some situations, maybe MQTT publisher works better
than MODBUSD, while in others, MODBUSD will be the better choice. The most versatile manner of system monitoring
and administration is through SSH. The SSH provides complete control of the router. The user can execute commands,
write shell scripts and do many other things. In such case, the user only needs application to connect router through
SSH. The most popular application used in Windows type operating systems is called Putty. If you try to connect to
router from Unix like operating system, you only need to execute ssh command with some arguments, like hostname
and username (in this case – root).
Sometimes the use of SSH is not necessary, so other more conservative services/applications are used. The
complete list of applications and services, which can be used for router administration and monitoring are given below.
It can be seen, that all applications, except MQTT publisher and SNMP supports setting/getting of some system related
parameter.

By summarizing, RUT9XX provides several solutions for router management. Each user can choose what solution
to use. If required functionality is not found in particular service, the user can combine several applications, for
example, use MQTT publisher along with SNMP. Finally, if user has special needs, he can write shell script and execute it
via SSH or use json-rpc.

9.5 VPN
9.5.1 OpenVPN
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method for secure data transfer through unsafe public network. This section
explains how to configure OpenVPN, which is implementation of VPN supported by the RUT9 router.
A picture below demonstrates default OpenVPN configurations list, which is empty, so you have to define a new
configuration to establish any sort of OpenVPN connection. To create it, enter desired configuration name in “New
configuration name” field, select device role from “Role” drop down list. For example, to create an OpenVPN client with
configuration name demo, select client role, name it “demo” and press “Add New” button as shown in the following
picture.
92
To see at specific configuration settings press “edit” button located in newly created configuration entry. A new
page with detailed configuration appears, as shown in the picture below (TLS client example).
93
There can be multiple server/client instances.
You can set custom settings here according to your VPN needs. Below is summary of parameters available to set:
Field name
Explanation
1.

Selects Packet encryption algorithm.
7.
Authentication
Sets authentication mode, used to secure data sessions. Two possibilities you have here:
“Static key” means, that OpenVPN client and server will use the same secret key, which must
be uploaded to the router using “Static pre-shared key” option. “TLS” authentication mode
uses X.509 type certificates. Depending on your selected OpenVPN mode (client or server)
you have to upload these certificates to the router:
For client: Certificate Authority (CA), Client certificate, Client key.
For server: Certificate Authority (CA), Server certificate, Server key and Diffie-Hellman (DH)
certificate used to key exchange through unsafe data networks.
All mention certificates can be generated using OpenVPN or Open SSL utilities on any type
host machine. Certificate generation and theory is out of scope of this user manual.

time.
9.5.2 IPSec
The IPsec protocol client enables the router to establish a secure connection to an IPsec peer via the Internet.
IPsec is supported in two modes - transport and tunnel. Transport mode creates secure point to point channel between
two hosts. Tunnel mode can be used to build a secure connection between two remote LANs serving as a VPN solution.
95
IPsec system maintains two databases: Security Policy Database (SPD) which defines whether to apply IPsec to a
packet or not and specify which/how IPsec-SA is applied and Security Association Database (SAD), which contain Key of
each IPsec-SA.
The establishment of the Security Association (IPsec-SA) between two peers is needed for IPsec communication. It
can be done by using manual or automated configuration.
Note: router starts establishing tunnel when data from router to remote site over tunnel is sent. For automatic
tunnel establishment used tunnel Keep Alive feature.

9.15 MQTT
MQTT also known as MQ Telemetry Transport is an publish-subscribe based messaging protocol for use on top of
the TCP/IP protocol. It is designed to send short messages from one client (publisher) to another (subscriber) through
the brokers, which are responsible for message delivery to the end point. RUT 9XX routers do support this functionality
via open source Mosquitto broker. The messages are sent in this way: some client (subscriber) subscribes to specific
topic or many of them, and then publisher posts some message to specific topic. The broker then checks who is
subscribed to particular topic and transmits data from publisher to subscriber.
RUT9XX supports some functionality of the MQTT broker and MQTT publisher. The main window of parameters is
presented below. The broker can be enabled by checking Enable and entering the port number on which MQTT broker
should run to. In order to accept connections from WAN interface, Enable Remote Access should be checked also.
135
In order to use TLS/SSL for connecting clients (subscribers and publishers) to the broker, the one should check
Use TLS/SSL. After that, additional settings will be displayed to the user as shown below. Here the user can upload
certificates, key files and choose TLS version, which will be used for data encryption between broker and clients
(subscribers and publishers)
The MQTT broker also supports option called Bridge. It means, that two brokers can be connected to each other
and share messages. The window of bridge parameters are presented below. There are some mandatory parameters,
like Connection Name, Remote Address and Remote Port. Although connection name is mandatory, it should be set to
value what you like and according to mosquitto’s user manual this option denotes the client ID which will be used when
connecting to remote broker. There are some other parameters. If you would like to known that they mean and how to
use them you should check for mosquito.conf manual page.

,
The last section of parameters is called Miscellaneous. It contains parameters, which does not depend on neither
Security, nor Bridge categories. ACL File denotes access control list file name. The contents of this file are used to control
client access to topics of the broker. The Password File denotes the file, there users and corresponding passwords are
stored. This file is used for user authentication. This option is related to another option called Allow Anonymous. If
Allow Anonymous is unchecked, only users, which exist in password file will be able to connect to the broker. More
about password file can be read on mosquitto configuration manual. The last option is called Persistence, it allows to
save connection, subscription and message data to the disk, otherwise, the data is stored in memory only.
137
It is possible to configure some sort of MQTT publisher. It is not simple publisher, but publisher, which publishes
some system parameters to the broker. The publisher configuration window has few fields, like hostname and port of
the broker to connect. Username and password fields are used for authentication. If these fields are left empty, no
authentication is performed.
The full list of system parameters, which can be published, are described below.

In order system to work, MQTT broker should be configured in advance. You can use the broker, which is installed inside
the router, or the broker in the other location. The publisher operates according to the scheme presented below. In the
scheme the client tries to subscribe information about router’s uptime. To achieve this multiple commands between
client and publisher are being sent.
In general publisher works in such a way: connects to the broker and subscribes to the topics router/get and
get/<SERIAL>/command, there <SERIAL> denotes serial number of the router which is currently run publisher. The client
then sends message id to the topic router/get. The following message is received by the publisher, since it is subscribed
to that topic. Then the publisher sends response with its serial number to the topic router/id. Now the client knows that
publisher with some serial number exist. It means, that client can send message with parameter name from the list as a
message to the topic get/<SERIAL>/command to the broker. The message will be received only by the subscriber, which
has the same SERIAL number mentioned in the topic. Now the publisher can send back a response with
router/<SERIAL>/parameter_name topic and message with a value of requested parameter. It should be noted, that
according to MQTT protocol, the topic names are case-sensitive, for example topic router is not the same as topic
RoUtEr.

9.16 Modbus TCP interface
Modbus TCP interface allows the user to set or get some parameters from the router (the parameters, which can
be set or get will be described later), like module temperature or signal strength. In other words, Modbus TCP is another
manner to control router behavior. To use Modbus TCP capabilities it must be turned on by navigating to Services-
Modbus. After “Save” button is pressed, the Modbus daemon will be launched on selected port of the system. Modbus
daemon performs as slave, that means, it accepts connection from the master (client) and sends out a response or sets
some system related parameter. By the default Modbus will only accept connections through LAN interface. In order to
accept connections through WAN interface also, Allow Remote Access must be checked.
To obtain some parameter from the system, the read holding registers command is used. The register number
and corresponding system values are described below. Each register contains 2 bytes. For simplification the number of
registers for storing numbers is 2, while for storing text information the number of registers is 16.

The Modbus daemon also supports setting of some system parameters. For this task write holding register
command is used. System related parameters and how to use them are described below. The register number refers to
the register number where to start write required values. All commands, except “Change APN” accepts only one input
parameter. For the APN the number of input registers may vary. The very first byte of APN command denotes a number
140
of SIM card for which set the APN. This byte should be set to 1 (in order to change APN for SIM card number 1) or to 2
(in order to change APN for SIM card number 2).

11 Device Recovery
The following section describes available options for recovery of malfunctioning device. Usually device can
become unreachable due to power failure during firmware upgrade or if its core files were wrongly modified in the file
system. Teltonika’s routers offer several options for recovering from these situations.
11.1 Reset button
Reset button is located on the back panel of the device. Reset button has several functions:
Reboot the device. After the device has started and if the reset button is pressed for up to 4 seconds the device
will reboot. Start of the reboot will be indicated by flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together with green connection
status LED.
Reset to defaults. After the device has started if the reset button is pressed for at least 5 seconds the device will
reset all user changes to factory defaults and reboot. To help user to determine how long the reset button should be
pressed, signal strength LEDs indicates the elapsed time. All 5 lit LEDs means that 5 seconds have passed and reset
button can be released. Start of the reset to defaults will be indicated by flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together
with red connection status LED. SIM PIN on the main SIM card is the only user parameter that is kept after reset to
defaults.
11.2 Bootloader’s WebUI
Bootloader also provides a way to recover the router functionality when the firmware is damaged. To make it
easier to use bootloader has its own webserver that can be accessed with any web browser.
Procedure for starting bootloader’s webserver:
Automatically. It happens when bootloader does not detect master firmware. Flashing all 4 Ethernet LEDs
indicate that bootloader’s webserver has started.
Manually. Bootloader’s webserver can be requested by holding reset button for 3 seconds while powering the
device on. Flashing all 4 Ethernet LEDs indicates that bootloader’s webserver has started.
Bootloader’s WebUI can be accessed by typing this address in the web browser:
http://192.168.1.1/index.html
Note: it may be necessary to clear web browser’s cache and to use incognito/anonymous window to access
bootloader’s WebUI.

12 Glossary
WAN – Wide Area Network is a telecommunication network that covers a broad area (i.e., any network that links
across metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries). Here we use the term WAN to mean the external network that
the router uses to reach the internet.
LAN – A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a
home, school, computer laboratory, or office building.
DHCP – The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol for hosts on Internet
Protocol (IP) networks. Computers that are connected to IP networks must be configured before they can communicate
with other hosts. The most essential information needed is an IP address, and a default route and routing prefix. DHCP
eliminates the manual task by a network administrator. It also provides a central database of devices that are connected
to the network and eliminates duplicate resource assignments.
ETHERNET CABLE – Refers to the CAT5 UTP cable with an RJ-45 connector.
AP – Access point. An access point is any device that provides wireless connectivity for wireless clients. In this
case, when you enable Wi-Fi on your router, your router becomes an access point.
DNS – Domain Name System. A server that translates names such as www.google.lt to their respective IPs. In
order for your computer or router to communicate with some external server it needs to know it’s IP, its name
“www.something.com” just won’t do. There are special servers set in place that perform this specific task of resolving
names into IPs, called Domain Name servers. If you have no DNS specified you can still browse the web, provided that
you know the IP of the website you are trying to reach.
ARP – Short for Adress Resolution Protocol a network layer protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical
address (called a DLC address), such as an Ethernet address.
PPPoE – Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to
the internet through a common broadband medium, such as DSL line, wireless device or cable modem.
DSL – digital subscriber line - it is a family of technologies that provide internet access by transmitting digital data
using a local telephone network which uses the public switched telephone network.
NAT – network address translation – an internet standard that enables a local-area network (LAN) to use one set
of IP addresses for internet traffic and a second set of addresses for external traffic.
LCP – Link Control Protocol – a protocol that is part of the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol). The LCP checks the
identity of the linked device and either accepts or rejects the peer device, determines the acceptable packet size for
transmission, searches for errors in configuration and can terminate the link if the parameters are not satisfied.
BOOTP – Bootstrap Protocol – an internet protocol that enables a diskless workstation to discover its own IP
address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine.
This enables the workstation to boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive.
TCP – Transmission Control Protocol – one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol
deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees
delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
155
TKIP – Temporal Key Integrity Protocol – scrambles the keys using hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-
checking feature, ensure that the keys haven’t been tampered with.
CCMP – Counter Mode Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol – encryption protocol
designed for Wireless LAN products that implement the standards of the IEEE 802.11i amendment to the original
IEEE802.11 standard. CCMP is an enchanted data cryptographic encapsulation designed for data confidentiality and
based upon the Counter Mode with CBC-MAC (CCM) of the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) standard.
MAC – Media Access Control. Hardware address which uniquely identifies each node of the network. In IEEE 802
networks, the Data Link Control (DCL) layer of the PSO Reference Model is divided into two sub-layers: the Logical Link
Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium.
Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer.
DMZ – Demilitarized Zone – a computer or small subnetwork that sits between a trusted internal network, such as
a corporate private LAN, and an untrusted external network, such as the public internet.
UDP – User Datagram Protocol – a connectionless protocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Provides
very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over IP network.
VPN – Virtual Private Network – a network that is constructed by using public wires — usually the Internet — to
connect to a private network, such as a company's internal network.
VRRP – Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol - an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for one
or more virtual router(s) to the VRRP router(s) on a LAN, allow several routers on a multiaccess link to utilize the same
virtual IP address.
GRE Tunnel – Generic Routing Encapsulation - a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can
encapsulate a wide variety of network layerprotocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol
internetwork.
PPPD – Point to Point Protocol Daemon – it is used to manage network connections between two nodes on Unix-
likeoperating systems. It is configured using command-line arguments and configuration files.
SSH – Secure Shell - a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote
machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications
over insecure channels.
VRRPD – Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol – it is designed to eliminate the single point of failure associated
with statically routed networks by automatically providing failover using multiple LAN paths through alternate routers.
SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol - a set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP works
by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network.
