Logs Screens
This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and viewing the
Prestige’s logs. Refer to the appendix for example log message explanations.
15.1 Logs Overview
The web configurator allows you to choose which categories of events and/or alerts to have
the Prestige log and then display the logs or have the Prestige send them to an administrator
(as e-mail) or to a syslog server.
15.1.1 Alerts and Logs
An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. They include system errors,
attacks (access control) and attempted access to blocked web sites. Some categories such as
System Errors consist of both logs and alerts. You may differentiate them by their color in the
View Log screen. Alerts display in red and logs display in black.
15.2 Configuring Log Settings
Use the Log Settings screen to configure to where the Prestige is to send logs; the schedule for
when the Prestige is to send the logs and which logs and/or immediate alerts the Prestige is to
record. See Section 15.1 on page 176 for more information.
To change your Prestige’s log settings, click Logs, then the Log Settings. The screen appears
as shown.
Alerts are e-mailed as soon as they happen. Logs may be e-mailed as soon as the log is full.
Selecting many alert and/or log categories (especially Access Control) may result in many e-
mails being sent.

Chapter 16 Media Bandwidth Management Advanced Setup 182
CHAPTER 16
Media Bandwidth Management
Advanced Setup
This chapter describes bandwidth management with one level of child class.
16.1 Media Bandwidth Management Overview
Bandwidth management allows you to allocate an interface’s outgoing capacity to specific
types of traffic. It can also help you make sure that the Prestige forwards certain types of
traffic (especially real-time applications) with minimum delay. With the use of real-time
applications such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP) increasing, the requirement for bandwidth
allocation is also increasing.
Bandwidth management addresses questions such as:
• Who gets how much access to specific applications?
• What priority level should you give to each type of traffic?
• Which traffic must have guaranteed delivery?
• How much bandwidth should be allotted to guarantee delivery?
Bandwidth management also allows you to configure the allowed output for an interface to
match what the network can handle. This helps reduce delays and dropped packets at the next
routing device. For example, you can set the WAN interface speed to 1000kbps if the ADSL
connection has an upstream speed of 1Mbps. All configuration screens display measurements
in kbps (kilobits per second), but this User’s Guide also uses Mbps (megabits per second) for
brevity’s sake.
Refer to Section 16.9 on page 188 to enable and configure bandwidth on the interfaces.
Refer to Section 16.10 on page 190 to configure bandwidth classes.
Refer to Section 16.11 on page 194 to view bandwidth usage information.
16.2 Bandwidth Classes and Filters
Use bandwidth classes and child-classes to allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity
(bandwidth budgets). Configure a bandwidth filter to define a bandwidth class (or child-class)
based on a specific application and/or subnet. Use the Class Configuration screen (see
Section 16.10 on page 190) to set up a bandwidth class’s name, bandwidth allotment, and
P-660H/HW/W-T Series User’ Guide
183 Chapter 16 Media Bandwidth Management Advanced Setup
bandwidth filter. You can configure up to one bandwidth filter per bandwidth class. You can
also configure bandwidth classes without bandwidth filters. However, it is recommended that
you configure child-classes with filters for any classes that you configure without filters. The
Prestige leaves the bandwidth budget allocated and unused for a class that does not have a
filter itself or child-classes with filters. View your configured bandwidth classes and child-
classes in the Class Setup screen (see Section 16.10 on page 190 for details).
The total of the configured bandwidth budgets for child-classes cannot exceed the configured
bandwidth budget speed of the parent class.
16.3 Proportional Bandwidth Allocation
Bandwidth management allows you to define how much bandwidth each class gets; however,
the actual bandwidth allotted to each class decreases or increases in proportion to actual
available bandwidth.
16.4 Bandwidth Management Usage Examples
These examples show bandwidth management allotments on a WAN interface that is
configured for 640Kbps.
16.4.1 Application-based Bandwidth Management Example
The bandwidth classes in the following example are based solely on application. Each
bandwidth class (VoIP, Web, FTP, E-mail and Video) is allotted 128kbps.
Figure 87 Application-based Bandwidth Management Example
16.4.2 Subnet-based Bandwidth Management Example
The following example uses bandwidth classes based solely on LAN subnets. Each bandwidth
class (Subnet A and Subnet B) is allotted 320kbps.

P-660H/HW/W-T Series User’ Guide
185 Chapter 16 Media Bandwidth Management Advanced Setup
16.5 Scheduler
The scheduler divides up an interface’s bandwidth among the bandwidth classes. The Prestige
has two types of scheduler: fairness-based and priority-based.
16.5.1 Priority-based Scheduler
With the priority-based scheduler, the Prestige forwards traffic from bandwidth classes
according to the priorities that you assign to the bandwidth classes. The larger a bandwidth
class’s priority number is, the higher the priority. Assign real-time applications (like those
using audio or video) a higher priority number to provide smoother operation.
16.5.2 Fairness-based Scheduler
The Prestige divides bandwidth equally among bandwidth classes when using the fairness-
based scheduler; thus preventing one bandwidth class from using all of the interface’s
bandwidth.
16.6 Maximize Bandwidth Usage
The maximize bandwidth usage option (see Section 16.7.1 on page 187) allows the Prestige to
divide up any available bandwidth on the interface (including unallocated bandwidth and any
allocated bandwidth that a class is not using) among the bandwidth classes that require more
bandwidth.
When you enable maximize bandwidth usage, the Prestige first makes sure that each
bandwidth class gets up to its bandwidth allotment. Next, the Prestige divides up an interface’s
available bandwidth (bandwidth that is unbudgeted or unused by the classes) depending on
how many bandwidth classes require more bandwidth and on their priority levels. When only
one class requires more bandwidth, the Prestige gives extra bandwidth to that class.
When multiple classes require more bandwidth, the Prestige gives the highest priority classes
the available bandwidth first (as much as they require, if there is enough available bandwidth),
and then to lower priority classes if there is still bandwidth available. The Prestige distributes
the available bandwidth equally among classes with the same priority level.
16.6.1 Reserving Bandwidth for Non-Bandwidth Class Traffic
Do the following three steps to configure the Prestige to allow bandwidth for traffic that is not
defined in a bandwidth filter.
1Leave some of the interface’s bandwidth unbudgeted.
2Do not enable the interface’s Maximize Bandwidth Usage option.
3Do not enable bandwidth borrowing on the child-classes that have the root class as their
parent (see Section 16.7 on page 187).
P-660H/HW/W-T Series User’ Guide
Chapter 16 Media Bandwidth Management Advanced Setup 186
16.6.2 Maximize Bandwidth Usage Example
Here is an example of a Prestige that has maximized bandwidth usage enabled on an interface.
The first figure shows each bandwidth class’s bandwidth budget and priority. The classes are
set up based on subnets. The interface is set to 10 Mbps. Each subnet is allocated 2 Mbps. The
unbudgeted 2 Mbps allows traffic not defined in one of the bandwidth filters to go out when
you do not select the maximize bandwidth option.
Figure 90 Bandwidth Allotment Example
The following figure shows the bandwidth usage with the maximize bandwidth usage option
enabled. The Prestige divides up the unbudgeted 2 Mbps among the classes that require more
bandwidth. If the administration department only uses 1 Mbps of the budgeted 2 Mbps, the
Prestige also divides the remaining 1 Mbps among the classes that require more bandwidth.
Therefore, the Prestige divides a total of 3 Mbps total of unbudgeted and unused bandwidth
among the classes that require more bandwidth.
In this case, suppose that all of the classes except for the administration class need more
bandwidth.
• Each class gets up to its budgeted bandwidth. The administration class only uses 1 Mbps
of its budgeted 2 Mbps.
• Sales and Marketing are first to get extra bandwidth because they have the highest
priority (6). If they each require 1.5 Mbps or more of extra bandwidth, the Prestige
divides the total 3 Mbps total of unbudgeted and unused bandwidth equally between the
sales and marketing departments (1.5 Mbps extra to each for a total of 3.5 Mbps for each)
because they both have the highest priority level.
• R&D requires more bandwidth but only gets its budgeted 2 Mbps because all of the
unbudgeted and unused bandwidth goes to the higher priority sales and marketing
classes.
• The Prestige does not send any traffic that is not defined in the bandwidth filters because
all of the unbudgeted bandwidth goes to the classes that need it.
P-660H/HW/W-T Series User’ Guide
187 Chapter 16 Media Bandwidth Management Advanced Setup
Figure 91 Maximize Bandwidth Usage Example
16.7 Bandwidth Borrowing
Bandwidth borrowing allows a child-class to borrow unused bandwidth from its parent class,
whereas maximize bandwidth usage allows bandwidth classes to borrow any unused or
unbudgeted bandwidth on the whole interface.
Enable bandwidth borrowing on a child-class to allow the child-class to use its parent class’s
unused bandwidth. A parent class’s unused bandwidth is given to the highest-priority child-
class that has bandwidth borrowing configured, first.
The total of the bandwidth allotments for child-classes cannot exceed the bandwidth allotment
of their parent class. The Prestige uses the scheduler to divide a parent class’s unused
bandwidth among the child-classes.
16.7.1 Maximize Bandwidth Usage With Bandwidth Borrowing
If you configure both maximize bandwidth usage (on the interface) and bandwidth borrowing
(on individual child-classes), the Prestige functions as follows.
1The Prestige sends traffic according to each bandwidth class’s bandwidth budget.
2The Prestige assigns a parent class’s unused bandwidth to its child-classes that have more
traffic than their budgets and have bandwidth borrowing enabled. The Prestige gives
priority to bandwidth child-classes of higher priority and treats bandwidth classes of the
same priority equally.
3The Prestige assigns any remaining unused or unbudgeted bandwidth on the interface to
any bandwidth class that requires it. The Prestige gives priority to bandwidth classes of
higher priority and treats bandwidth classes of the same level equally.

4The Prestige assigns any remaining unbudgeted bandwidth to traffic that does not match
any of the bandwidth classes.

Metric This field sets this route's priority among the routes the Prestige uses.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route
for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses hop
count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly connected
networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number greater than "15"
means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the "cost"

Internet Access
This chapter shows you how to configure the LAN and WAN of your Prestige for Internet
access.
23.1 Internet Access Overview
Refer to the chapters on the web configurator’s wizard, LAN and WAN screens for more
background information on fields in the SMT screens covered in this chapter.
23.2 IP Policies
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router takes the shortest
path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the
default routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the
network administrator. Policy-based routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface
basis, prior to the normal routing. Create policies using SMT menu 25 and apply them on the
Prestige LAN and/or WAN interfaces using menus 3.2 (LAN) and 11.3 (WAN).
23.3 IP Alias
IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical networks over the
same Ethernet interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single
physical Ethernet interface with the Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
When you use IP alias, you can also configure firewall rules to control access between the
LAN's logical networks (subnets).
Note: Make sure that the subnets of the logical networks do not overlap.
The following figure shows a LAN divided into subnets A, B, and C.

CHAPTER 24
Remote Node Configuration
This chapter covers remote node configuration.
24.1 Remote Node Setup Overview
This section describes the protocol-independent parameters for a remote node. A remote node
is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the remote
gateway and the network behind it across a WAN connection. When you use menu 4 to set up
Internet access, you are configuring one of the remote nodes.
You first choose a remote node in Menu 11- Remote Node Setup. You can then edit that
node’s profile in menu 11.1, as well as configure specific settings in three submenus: edit IP
and bridge options in menu 11.3; edit ATM options in menu 11.6; and edit filter sets in menu
11.5.
24.2 Remote Node Setup
This section describes the protocol-independent parameters for a remote node.
24.2.1 Remote Node Profile
To configure a remote node, follow these steps:
1From the main menu, enter 11 to display Menu 11 - Remote Node Setup.
2When menu 11 appears, as shown in the following figure, type the number of the remote
node that you want to configure.
P-660H/HW/W-T Series User’ Guide
237 Chapter 24 Remote Node Configuration
Figure 124 Menu 11 Remote Node Setup
24.2.2 Encapsulation and Multiplexing Scenarios
For Internet access you should use the encapsulation and multiplexing methods used by your
ISP. Consult your telephone company for information on encapsulation and multiplexing
methods for LAN-to-LAN applications, for example between a branch office and corporate
headquarters. There must be prior agreement on encapsulation and multiplexing methods
because they cannot be automatically determined. What method(s) you use also depends on
how many VCs you have and how many different network protocols you need. The extra
overhead that ENET ENCAP encapsulation entails makes it a poor choice in a LAN-to-LAN
application. Here are some examples of more suitable combinations in such an application.
24.2.2.1 Scenario 1: One VC, Multiple Protocols
PPPoA (RFC-2364) encapsulation with VC-based multiplexing is the best combination
because no extra protocol identifying headers are needed. The PPP protocol already contains
this information.
24.2.2.2 Scenario 2: One VC, One Protocol (IP)
Selecting RFC-1483 encapsulation with VC-based multiplexing requires the least amount of
overhead (0 octets). However, if there is a potential need for multiple protocol support in the
future, it may be safer to select PPPoA encapsulation instead of RFC-1483, so you do not
need to reconfigure either computer later.
24.2.2.3 Scenario 3: Multiple VCs
If you have an equal number (or more) of VCs than the number of protocols, then select RFC-
1483 encapsulation and VC-based multiplexing.

24.2.3 Outgoing Authentication Protocol
For obvious reasons, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible.
However, some vendors’ implementation includes specific authentication protocol in the user
profile. It will disconnect if the negotiated protocol is different from that in the user profile,
even when the negotiated protocol is stronger than specified. If the peer disconnects right after
a successful authentication, make sure that you specify the correct authentication protocol
when connecting to such an implementation.

Chapter 25 Static Route Setup 246
CHAPTER 25
Static Route Setup
This chapter shows how to setup IP static routes.
25.1 IP Static Route Overview
Static routes tell the Prestige routing information that it cannot learn automatically through
other means. This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is
beyond the one that is directly connected to a remote node.
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected and
the Prestige has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about
network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is
unable to route a packet to network N3 because it does not know that there is a route through
remote node Router 1 (via Router 2). The static routes allow you to tell the Prestige about the
networks beyond the remote nodes.

FIELD DESCRIPTION
Route # This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.1.
Route Name Type a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only.
Active This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Destination IP Address This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
Routing is always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to
a single host, use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask
field to force the network number to be identical to the host ID.
IP Subnet Mask Type the subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP Address Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the
same network segment as the device’s LAN or WAN port. The gateway
helps forward packets to their destinations.
Metric Metric represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing
uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly
connected networks. Type a number that approximates the cost for this link.
The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In
practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Private This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote
node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and is not
included in RIP broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be
propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.

Chapter 26 Bridging Setup 250
CHAPTER 26
Bridging Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure the bridging parameters of your Prestige.
26.1 Bridging in General
Bridging bases the forwarding decision on the MAC (Media Access Control), or hardware
address, while routing does it on the network layer (IP) address. Bridging allows the Prestige
to transport packets of network layer protocols that it does not route, for example, SNA, from
one network to another. The caveat is that, compared to routing, bridging generates more
traffic for the same network layer protocol, and it also demands more CPU cycles and
memory.
For efficiency reasons, do not turn on bridging unless you need to support protocols other than
IP on your network. For IP, enable the routing if you need it; do not bridge what the Prestige
can route.
26.2 Bridge Ethernet Setup
Basically, all non-local packets are bridged to the WAN. Your Prestige does not support IPX.
26.2.1 Remote Node Bridging Setup
Follow the procedure in another section to configure the protocol-independent parameters in
Menu 11.1 – Remote Node Profile. For bridging-related parameters, you need to configure
Menu 11.3 – Remote Node Network Layer Options.
1To setup Menu 11.3 – Remote Node Network Layer Options shown in the next figure,
follow these steps:

You must create a firewall rule in addition to setting up SUA/NAT, to allow traffic from the
WAN to be forwarded through the Prestige.
27.1.1 SUA (Single User Account) Versus NAT
SUA (Single User Account) is a ZyNOS implementation of a subset of NAT that supports two
types of mapping, Many-to-One and Server. See Section 27.3 on page 256 or a detailed
description of the NAT set for SUA. The Prestige also supports Full Feature NAT to map
multiple global IP addresses to multiple private LAN IP addresses of clients or servers using
mapping types.
• Choose SUA Only if you have just one public WAN IP address for your Prestige.
• Choose Full Feature if you have multiple public WAN IP addresses for your Prestige.
27.2 Applying NAT
You apply NAT via menus 4 or 11.3 as displayed next. The next figure shows you how to
apply NAT for Internet access in menu 4. Enter 4 from the main menu to go to Menu 4 -

27.3.1.3 Ordering Your Rules
Ordering your rules is important because the Prestige applies the rules in the order that you
specify. When a rule matches the current packet, the Prestige takes the corresponding action
and the remaining rules are ignored. If there are any empty rules before your new configured
rule, your configured rule will be pushed up by that number of empty rules. For example, if
you have already configured rules 1 to 6 in your current set and now you configure rule
number 9. In the set summary screen, the new rule will be rule 7, not 9.
Now if you delete rule 4, rules 5 to 7 will be pushed up by 1 rule, so as old rule 5 becomes rule
4, old rule 6 becomes rule 5 and old rule 7 becomes rule 6.
You must press [ENTER] at the bottom of the screen to save the whole set. You must do this
again if you make any changes to the set – including deleting a rule. No changes to the set take
place until this action is taken.
Selecting Edit in the Action field and then selecting a rule brings up the following menu,
Menu 15.1.1.1 - Address Mapping Rule in which you can edit an individual rule and
configure the Type, Local and Global Start/End IPs.
An End IP address must be numerically greater than its corresponding IP Start address.

In this example, there are 3 IGAs from our ISP. There are many departments but two have
their own FTP server. All departments share the same router. The example will reserve one
IGA for each department with an FTP server and all departments use the other IGA. Map the
FTP servers to the first two IGAs and the other LAN traffic to the remaining IGA. Map the
third IGA to an inside web server and mail server. Four rules need to be configured, two bi-
directional and two unidirectional as follows.
Map the first IGA to the first inside FTP server for FTP traffic in both directions (1 : 1
mapping, giving both local and global IP addresses).
Map the second IGA to our second inside FTP server for FTP traffic in both directions (1 : 1
mapping, giving both local and global IP addresses).

27.5.4 Example 4: NAT Unfriendly Application Programs
Some applications do not support NAT Mapping using TCP or UDP port address translation.
In this case it is better to use Many-to-Many No Overload mapping as port numbers do not
change for Many-to-Many No Overload (and One-to-One) NAT mapping types. The
following figure illustrates this.
Figure 160 NAT Example 4
Other applications such as some gaming programs are NAT unfriendly because they embed
addressing information in the data stream. These applications won’t work through NAT even
when using One-to-One and Many-to-Many No Overload mapping types.

CHAPTER 28
Enabling the Firewall
This chapter shows you how to get started with the Prestige firewall.
28.1 Remote Management and the Firewall
When SMT menu 24.11 is configured to allow management and the firewall is enabled:
• The firewall blocks remote management from the WAN unless you configure a firewall
rule to allow it.
• The firewall allows remote management from the LAN.
28.2 Access Methods
The web configurator is, by far, the most comprehensive firewall configuration tool your
Prestige has to offer. For this reason, it is recommended that you configure your firewall using
the web configurator, see the following chapters for instructions. SMT screens allow you to
activate the firewall and view firewall logs.
28.3 Enabling the Firewall
From the main menu enter 21 to go to Menu 21 - Filter Set and Firewall Configuration to
display the screen shown next.
Enter option 2 in this menu to bring up the following screen. Press [SPACE BAR] and then
[ENTER] to select Yes in the Active field to activate the firewall. The firewall must be active
to protect against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Additional rules may be configured using
the web configurator.

Chapter 29 Filter Configuration 272
CHAPTER 29
Filter Configuration
This chapter shows you how to create and apply filters.
29.1 About Filtering
Your Prestige uses filters to decide whether or not to allow passage of a data packet and/or to
make a call. There are two types of filter applications: data filtering and call filtering. Filters
are subdivided into device and protocol filters, which are discussed later.
Data filtering screens data to determine if the packet should be allowed to pass. Data filters are
divided into incoming and outgoing filters, depending on the direction of the packet relative to
a port. Data filtering can be applied on either the WAN side or the Ethernet side. Call filtering
is used to determine if a packet should be allowed to trigger a call.
Outgoing packets must undergo data filtering before they encounter call filtering. Call filters
are divided into two groups, the built-in call filters and user-defined call filters. Your Prestige
has built-in call filters that prevent administrative, for example, RIP packets from triggering
calls. These filters are always enabled and not accessible to you. Your Prestige applies the
built-in filters first and then the user-defined call filters, if applicable, as shown next.
Figure 164 Outgoing Packet Filtering Process
Two sets of factory filter rules have been configured in menu 21 to prevent NetBIOS traffic
from triggering calls. A summary of their filter rules is shown in the figures that follow.
The following figure illustrates the logic flow when executing a filter rule.
P-660H/HW/W-T Series User’ Guide
273 Chapter 29 Filter Configuration
Figure 165 Filter Rule Process
You can apply up to four filter sets to a particular port to block various types of packets.
Because each filter set can have up to six rules, you can have a maximum of 24 rules active for
a single port.
For incoming packets, your Prestige applies data filters only. Packets are processed depending
on whether a match is found. The following sections describe how to configure filter sets.
29.1.1 The Filter Structure of the Prestige
A filter set consists of one or more filter rules. Usually, you would group related rules, for
example, all the rules for NetBIOS, into a single set and give it a descriptive name. You can
configure up to twelve filter sets with six rules in each set, for a total of 72 filter rules in the
system.

29.4.2 Generic Filter Rule
This section shows you how to configure a generic filter rule. The purpose of generic rules is
to allow you to filter non-IP packets. For IP, it is generally easier to use the IP rules directly.
P-660H/HW/W-T Series User’ Guide
Chapter 29 Filter Configuration 280
For generic rules, the Prestige treats a packet as a byte stream as opposed to an IP packet. You
specify the portion of the packet to check with the Offset (from 0) and the Length fields, both
in bytes. The Prestige applies the Mask (bit-wise ANDing) to the data portion before
comparing the result against the Value to determine a match. The Mask and Value fields are
specified in hexadecimal numbers. Note that it takes two hexadecimal digits to represent a
byte, so if the length is 4, the value in either field will take 8 digits, for example, FFFFFFFF.
To configure a generic rule select an empty filter set in menu 21, for example 5. Select
Generic Filter Rule in the Filter Type field and press [ENTER] to open Menu 21.1.5.1 –

29.5 Filter Types and NAT
There are two classes of filter rules, Generic Filter Device rules and Protocol Filter (TCP/IP)
rules. Generic Filter rules act on the raw data from/to LAN and WAN. Protocol Filter rules act
on IP packets.
When NAT (Network Address Translation) is enabled, the inside IP address and port number
are replaced on a connection-by-connection basis, which makes it impossible to know the
exact address and port on the wire. Therefore, the Prestige applies the protocol filters to the
“native” IP address and port number before NAT for outgoing packets and after NAT for
incoming packets. On the other hand, the generic (or device) filters are applied to the raw
packets that appear on the wire. They are applied at the point where the Prestige is receiving
and sending the packets; for instance, the interface. The interface can be an Ethernet, or any
other hardware port. The following figure illustrates this.

CHAPTER 30
SNMP Configuration
This chapter explains SNMP Configuration menu 22.
30.1 About SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP
protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager
station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network. The Prestige supports SNMP
version one (SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP
management operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.
Figure 179 SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the Prestige).
An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form
compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators
perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor
managed devices.
P-660H/HW/W-T Series User’ Guide
287 Chapter 30 SNMP Configuration
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of
information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include the number of
packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection
of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of
accessing these objects.
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The
manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol
operations:
• Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
• GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list
within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table
from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
• Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
• Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
30.2 Supported MIBs
The Prestige supports RFC-1215 and MIB II as defined in RFC-1213 as well as ZyXEL
private MIBs. The focus of the MIBs is to let administrators collect statistic data and monitor
status and performance.
30.3 SNMP Configuration
To configure SNMP, select option 22 from the main menu to open Menu 22 — SNMP
Configuration as shown next. The “community” for Get, Set and Trap fields is SNMP
terminology for password.

Once you enable user authentication, you need to specify an external RADIUS server or create
local user accounts on the Prestige for authentication.
31.2 Creating User Accounts on the Prestige
By storing user profiles locally, your Prestige is able to authenticate wireless users without
interacting with a network RADIUS server.
Follow the steps below to set up user profiles on your Prestige.
1From the main menu, enter 14 to display Menu 14 - Dial-in User Setup.
Authentication
Databases
The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local
user database is the built-in database on the Prestige. The RADIUS is an external
server. Use this field to decide which database the Prestige should use (first) to
authenticate a wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
When you configure Key Management Protocol to WPA, the Authentication
Databases must be RADIUS Only. You can only use the Local User Database
with 802.1x Key Management Protocol.
Select Local User Database Only to have the Prestige just check the built-in user
database on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password.
Select RADIUS Only to have the Prestige just check the user database on the
specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.
Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the Prestige first check the user database
on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is
not found, the Prestige then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS
server.
Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the Prestige first check the user database
on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If
the Prestige cannot reach the RADIUS server, the Prestige then checks the local
user database on the Prestige. When the user name is not found or password does
not match in the RADIUS server, the Prestige will not check the local user database
and the authentication fails.
