CHAPTER 12
LAN
12.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or
floor of a building.
Figure 61 LAN Example
The LAN screens can help you configure a manage IP address, and partition your physical network
into logical networks.
12.2 What You Can Do
•Use the LAN IP screen to configure the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for your NBG6617 on the LAN
(Section 12.4 on page 100).
•Use the Static DHCP screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses (Section 12.5 on page 101).
•Use the IPv6 LAN screen to configure the IPv6 address for your NBG6617 on the LAN (Section
12.6 on page 102).
12.3 What You Need To Know
The actual physical connection determines whether the NBG6617 ports are LAN or WAN ports.
There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN
network as shown next.

CHAPTER 13
Applications
13.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure parental control, bandwidth management, USB media
sharing, UPnP and file sharing.
13.1.1 What You Can Do
•Use the Parental Control screens to enable parental control, configure the parental control
rules and schedules, and send e-mail notifications. (Section 13.2 on page 106).
•Use the Bandwidth Management screen to configure bandwidth management and the device
priority (Section 13.3 on page 112).
•Use the USB Media Sharing screen to use the NBG6617 as a media server and allow DLNA-
compliant devices to play media files stored in the attached USB device (Section 13.4 on page
117).
•Use the UPnP screen to enable UPnP on your NBG6617 (Section 13.5 on page 118).
•Use the File Sharing screen to allow file sharing via the NBG6617 using Windows Explorer, the
workgroup name or FTP (Section 13.6 on page 119).
•Use the One Connect screen to enable or disable Wi-Fi auto-configuration (Section 13.7 on page
126).
13.1.2 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Keyword Blocking URL Checking
The NBG6617 checks the URL’s domain name (or IP address) and file path separately when
performing keyword blocking.
The URL’s domain name or IP address is the characters that come before the first slash in the URL.
For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the domain name is
www.zyxel.com.tw.
The file path is the characters that come after the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL
www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the file path is news/pressroom.php.
Since the NBG6617 checks the URL’s domain name (or IP address) and file path separately, it will
not find items that go across the two. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/
pressroom.php, the NBG6617 would find “tw” in the domain name (www.zyxel.com.tw). It would
also find “news” in the file path (news/pressroom.php) but it would not find “tw/news”.

DLNA
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer and electronics
companies that works to make products compatible in a home network. DLNA clients play files
stored on DLNA servers. The NBG6617 can function as a DLNA-compliant media server and stream
files to DLNA-compliant media clients without any configuration.
Workgroup name
This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources
such as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a
network.
File Systems
A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often
different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file-sharing
feature on your NBG6617 supports New Technology File System (NTFS), File Allocation Table (FAT)
and FAT32 file systems.
Windows/CIFS
Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating systems
in order to share files across the network.
CIFS runs over TCP/IP but uses the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol found in Microsoft
Windows for file and printer access; therefore, CIFS will allow all applications, not just Web
browsers, to open and share files across the Internet.
The NBG6617 uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions. CIFS
compatible computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the NBG6617. CIFS
protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to
your systems specifications for CIFS compatibility).
Samba
SMB is a client-server protocol used by Microsoft Windows systems for sharing files, printers, and
so on.
Samba is a free SMB server that runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems. It provides an
implementation of an SMB client and server for use with non-Microsoft operating systems.
File Transfer Protocol
This is a method of transferring data from one computer to another over a network such as the
Internet.

Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each UPnP
compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting the icon of a
UPnP device will allow you to access the information and properties of that device.
13.1.3 Before You Begin
Make sure the NBG6617 is connected to your network and turned on.
1Connect the USB device to one of the NBG6617’s USB ports.
2The NBG6617 detects the USB device and makes its contents available for browsing. If you are
connecting a USB hard drive that comes with an external power supply, make sure it is connected
to an appropriate power source that is on.
Note: If your USB device cannot be detected by the NBG6617, see the troubleshooting
for suggestions.
13.2 Parental Control
Parental Control allows you to block specific URLs. You can also define time periods and days during
which the NBG6617 performs parental control on a specific user.

13.3 Bandwidth Management
The NBG6617 supports the new StreamBoost technology, introduced by Qualcomm, to redistribute
traffic over the NBG6617 for the best possible performance in a home network.
Streamboost is smart Quality of Service (QoS). Streamboost detects traffic flow and applies traffic
shaping policies automatically. It gives each device and each application priority and provides the
exact amount of bandwidth they need at a given time. This helps free up bandwidth for other
applications or connected devices. If there is not enough bandwidth for optimal performance,
Streamboost makes sure the application or device has the minimum acceptable bandwidth which is
determined according to StreamBoost’s cloud-based database.
Real-time application traffic (such as on-line games or communications) and video/audio streaming
are given the highest priority. Downloads or torrent files are classified as best effort and placed
lower than general network traffic (general browsing).
In the figure below, the StreamBoost-enabled NBG6617 differentiates incoming traffic flow going
from the LAN device (A) or wireless device (B) to the Internet. It shapes traffic and gives priority
and allocates bandwidth according to traffic types.

support traffic of the same priority, the NBG6617 refers to the connected device priority. Traffic
from the device with the lowest priority is classified as best-effort traffic. Use the Advanced screen
to prioritize the connected devices (Section 13.3.2 on page 113).

13.8 Technical Reference
The following section contains additional technical information about the NBG6617 features
described in this chapter.
Customizing Keyword Blocking URL Checking
You can use commands to set how much of a website’s URL the content filter is to check for
keyword blocking. See the appendices for information on how to access and use the command
interpreter.
Domain Name or IP Address URL Checking
By default, the NBG6617 checks the URL’s domain name or IP address when performing keyword
blocking.
This means that the NBG6617 checks the characters that come before the first slash in the URL.
For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, content filtering only searches
for keywords within www.zyxel.com.tw.
Full Path URL Checking
Full path URL checking has the NBG6617 check the characters that come before the last slash in the
URL.
For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, full path URL checking
searches for keywords within www.zyxel.com.tw/news/.
Use the ip urlfilter customize actionFlags 6 [disable | enable] command to extend (or
not extend) the keyword blocking search to include the URL's full path.
File Name URL Checking
Filename URL checking has the NBG6617 check all of the characters in the URL.
For example, filename URL checking searches for keywords within the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/
news/pressroom.php.

NAT Traversal
UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP
network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the
network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions.
NAT traversal allows the following:
• Dynamic port mapping
• Learning public IP addresses
• Assigning lease times to mappings
Windows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP.
See the NAT chapter for more information on NAT.
Cautions with UPnP
The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening
firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also
be obtained and modified by users in some network environments.
When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For
security reasons, the NBG6617 allows multicast messages on the LAN only.
All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration.
Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.

CHAPTER 14
Security
14.1 Overview
Use these screens to enable and configure the firewall that protects your NBG6617 and your LAN
from unwanted or malicious traffic.
Enable the firewall to protect your LAN computers from attacks by hackers on the Internet and
control access between the LAN and WAN. By default the firewall:
• allows traffic that originates from your LAN computers to go to all of the networks.
• blocks traffic that originates on the other networks from going to the LAN.
The following figure illustrates the default firewall action. User A can initiate an IM (Instant
Messaging) session from the LAN to the WAN (1). Return traffic for this session is also allowed (2).
However other traffic initiated from the WAN is blocked (3 and 4).

About the NBG6617 Firewall
The NBG6617’s firewall feature physically separates the LAN and the WAN and acts as a secure
gateway for all data passing between the networks.
It is a stateful inspection firewall and is designed to protect against Denial of Service attacks when
activated (click the IPv4 Firewall or IPv6 Firewall tab under Security and then click the Enable
Firewall check box). The NBG6617's purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be
securely connected to the Internet. The NBG6617 can be used to prevent theft, destruction and
modification of data, as well as log events, which may be important to the security of your network.
The NBG6617 is installed between the LAN and a broadband modem connecting to the Internet.
This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN.
The NBG6617 has one Ethernet WAN port and four Ethernet LAN ports, which are used to physically
separate the network into two areas.The WAN (Wide Area Network) port attaches to the broadband
(cable or DSL) modem to the Internet.
The LAN (Local Area Network) port attaches to a network of computers, which needs security from
the outside world. These computers will have access to Internet services such as e-mail, FTP and
the World Wide Web. However, "inbound access" is not allowed (by default) unless the remote host
is authorized to use a specific service.
Guidelines For Enhancing Security With Your Firewall
1Change the default password via Web Configurator.
2Think about access control before you connect to the network in any way, including attaching a
modem to the port.
3Limit who can access your router.
4Don't enable any local service (such as NTP) that you don't use. Any enabled service could present
a potential security risk. A determined hacker might be able to find creative ways to misuse the
enabled services to access the firewall or the network.
5For local services that are enabled, protect against misuse. Protect by configuring the services to
communicate only with specific peers, and protect by configuring rules to block packets for the
services at specific interfaces.
6Protect against IP spoofing by making sure the firewall is active.
7Keep the firewall in a secured (locked) room.

moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Last,
Sunday, March. The time you select in the at field depends on your time zone. In
Germany for instance, you would select 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour
ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
End Date Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you selected Daylight
Savings. The at field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the first Sunday of November. Each
time zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time.
So in the United States you would select First, Sunday, November and select 2 in the
at field.
Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of October. All of
the time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight Saving Time at the same
moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Last,
Sunday, October. The time you select in the at field depends on your time zone. In
