Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Routerxvi PrefacePrefaceAbout Your ADSL Internet Access RouterCongratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router.The Prestige 641 (P641) is an ADSL router used for Internet/LAN access via an ADSL line. The Prestige641 supports multi-protocol routing for TCP/IP and Novell IPX, as well as transparent bridging for otherprotocols. We will refer to the Prestige 641 as the P641 or simply the Prestige from now on.The P641 can run upstream maximum transmission rates of 640Kbps and downstream maximumtransmission rates of 8Mbps. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wire,distance from the central office and the type of ADSL service subscribed. See the sections below for morebackground information on DSL and ADSL.The P641's 10/100M auto-negotiating LAN interface enables fast data transfer of either 10Mbps or100Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.Your Prestige is easy to install and to configure. All functions of the Prestige are software configurable viathe SMT (System Management Terminal) Interface.About This User's GuideThis user's guide covers all aspects of the Prestige 641 operations and shows you how to get the best out ofthe multiple advanced features of your ADSL Internet Access Router. This manual is designed to guide youthrough the correct configuration of your Prestige 641 for various applications.Syntax Conventions• “Enter” means for you to type one or more characters and press the carriage return. “Select” or“Choose” means for you to select one from the predefined choices.• The SMT menu titles and labels are in Bold Times font. The choices of a menu item are in BoldArial font. A single keystroke is in Arial font and enclosed in square brackets, for instance, [ENTER]means the Enter, or carriage return, key; [ESC] means the Escape key.• For brevity’s sake, we will use “e.g.” as a shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.” as a shorthand for“that is” or “in other words” throughout this manual

Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Routerxviii Getting to know your PrestigeWhat is DSL?DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) enhances the data capacity of the existing twisted-pair wire that runsbetween the local telephone company switching offices and most homes and offices. While the wire itselfcan handle higher frequencies, the telephone switching equipment is designed to cut off signals above 4,000Hz to filter noise off the voice line, but now everybody is searching for ways to get more bandwidth toimprove access to the Web - hence DSL technologies!There are actually seven types of DSL service, ranging in speeds from 16 Kbits/sec to 52 Mbits/sec. Theservices are either symmetrical (traffic flows at the same speed in both directions), or asymmetrical (thedownstream capacity is higher than the upstream capacity). Asymmetrical services (ADSL) are suitable forInternet users because more information is usually downloaded than uploaded. For example, a simplebutton click in a web browser can start an extended download that includes graphics and text.As data rates increase, the carrying distance decreases. That means that users who are beyond a certaindistance from the telephone company’s central office may not be able to obtain the higher speeds. A DSLconnection is a point-to-point dedicated circuit, meaning that the link is always up and there is no dialingrequired.What is ADSL?It is an asymmetrical technology, meaning that the downstream data rate is much higher than the upstreamdata rate. As mentioned, this works well for a typical Internet session in which more information isdownloaded, e.g., from Web servers, than is uploaded. ADSL operates in a frequency range that is abovethe frequency range of voice services, so the two systems can operate over the same cable.

Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router1-3Getting to know your Prestige1.3 Applications for the Prestige 6411.3.1 Internet AccessThe Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your Prestige supports the TCP/IP protocol,which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major ADSL DSLAM (Digital SubscriberLine Access Multiplexer) providers. A DSLAM is a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into abackbone network interface/connection (e.g., T1, OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay). Think of it as theequivalent of a modem rack for ADSL. A typical Internet Access application is shown below.Figure 1-1 Internet Access ApplicationInternet Single User AccountFor a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) environment, your Prestige offers the Single User Account (SUA)feature that allows multiple users on the LAN (Local Area Network) to access the Internet concurrently forthe cost of a single user.1.3.2 LAN to LAN ApplicationYou can use the Prestige to connect two geographically dispersed networks over the ADSL line. A typicalLAN-to-LAN application for your Prestige is shown as follows.PrestigeISP10/100M EthernetSmall / Home Office LANINTERNET ATMEdgeRouterDSLAM

Connecting the ADSL LineConnect the Prestige directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable. Connect the micro filter(s)(supplied – see Figure 2-4 Connecting the Microfilter) between the wall jack and your telephone(s). Themicro filters act as low pass filters (voice transmission takes place in the 0 to 4KHz bandwidth).Step 2. Connecting a Workstation to the Prestige 10/100M LAN portEthernet 10Base-T networks use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable with RJ-45 connectors that look like abigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Use the crossover cable (red tag) to connect your Prestige 641 to acomputer directly. Use straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) to connect to an external hub and thenconnect one end of a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) from the hub to the NIC on the workstation.Step 3. Connecting the Power Adapter to your PrestigeConnect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.Step 4. Connecting the Console PortFor the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use terminal emulator software on a workstationand connect it to the Prestige through the console port. Connect the 9-pin end of the console cable (9-pin to25-pin console cable supplied) to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin end to a serial port (COM1,COM2 or other COM port) of your workstation. You can use an extension RS-232 cable if the enclosedone is too short.2.3 Additional Installation RequirementsIn addition to the contents of your package, there are other hardware and software requirements you needbefore you can install and use your Prestige. These requirements include:l A computer with Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T NIC (Network Interface Card).l A computer equipped with communications software (for example, Hyper Terminal in Win95)configured to the following parameters:Ø VT100 terminal emulation.

Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access RouterInternet Access 3-1Chapter 3Internet Access3.1 Factory Ethernet DefaultsThe Ethernet parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:1. IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits).2. DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If the parameters are satisfactory, you canskip to section 3.4 TCP/IP Ethernet Setup and DHCP to enter the DNS server address(es) if your ISPgives you explicit DNS server address(es). If you wish to change the factory defaults or to learn more aboutTCP/IP, please read on.3.2 TCP/IP Parameters3.2.1 IP Address and Subnet MaskSimilar to the houses on a street that share a common street name, the machines on a LAN share onecommon network number, also.Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your networkadministrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IPaddresses and the subnet mask.If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user accountand the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it isrecommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 (ignoring the trailingzero) and you must enable the Single User Account feature of the Prestige. The Internet Assigned NumberAuthority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any othernumber unless you are told otherwise. Let’s say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; whichcovers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In otherwords, the first 3 numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individualworkstation on that network.This chapter shows you how to configure the LAN aswell as the WAN of your Prestige for Internet access.
Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router3-2 Internet AccessOnce you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, e.g.,192.168.1.1, for your Prestige.The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your Prestige will compute thesubnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don’t need to change the subnetmask computed by the Prestige unless you are instructed to do otherwise.3.2.2 RIP SetupRIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers.The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to both, the Prestigewill broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it receives; when set tonone, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the Prestigesends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries moreinformation. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have a unusual network topology.Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B usessubnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-routermachines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIPpackets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting,also.By default, RIP direction is set to Both and the Version set to RIP-1.3.2.3 DHCP ConfigurationDHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (workstations) to obtain theTCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP servercapability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNSservers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client. The Prestige canalso act as a surrogate DHCP server where it relays IP address assignment from the actual DHCP server tothe clients.IP Pool SetupThe Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64 forthe client machines. This leaves 31 IP addresses, 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.32 (excluding the Prestige itselfwhich has a default IP of 192.168.1.1) for other server machines, e.g., server for mail, FTP, telnet, web,etc., that you may have.DNS Server AddressDNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa,e.g., the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important becausewithout it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. The DNS server addresses
Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access RouterInternet Access 3-3that you enter in the DHCP setup are passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP address andsubnet mask.There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses. The first is for an ISP to tell acustomer the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when s/he signs up. Ifyour ISP does give you the DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup,otherwise, leave them blank.Some ISP’s choose to pass the DNS servers using the DNS server extensions of PPP IPCP (IP ControlProtocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not give you explicit DNS servers, chances are theDNS servers are conveyed through IPCP negotiation. The Prestige supports the IPCP DNS serverextensions through the DNS proxy feature.If the Primary and Secondary DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup are not specified, i.e., left as 0.0.0.0, thePrestige tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a workstation sends a DNS query tothe Prestige, the Prestige forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays theresponse back to the workstation.Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions. It does notmean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under all circumstances. If your ISP gives youexplicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter their IP addresses in the DHCP Setup menu. This way, thePrestige can pass the DNS servers to the workstations and the workstations can query the DNS serverdirectly without the Prestige’s intervention.3.3 Route IP SetupThe first step is to enable the IP routing in Menu 1 - General Setup. To edit Menu 1, enter 1 in the Main Menu to select General Setup and press [Enter]. Set the Route IPfield to Yes by pressing the space bar.Figure 3-1 Menu 1 – General SetupMenu 1 - General SetupSystem Name= P641Location= locationContact Person's Name= nameRoute IP= YesRoute IPX= NoBridge= NoPress ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:

A WAN (Wide Area Network), on the other hand is an outside connection toanother network or the Internet.3.5.1 LANs, WANs and the PrestigeThe actual physical connection determines whether the Prestige ports are LAN or WAN ports. There aretwo separate IP networks, one inside, the LAN network; the other outside, the WAN network as shownnext.
Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router3-6 Internet AccessFigure 3-3 LAN & WAN IPs3.6 VPI & VCIBe sure to use the correct Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) numberssupplied by the Telephone Company. The valid range for the VPI is 1 to 255 and for the VCI is 32 to 65535(1 to 32 is reserved for local management of ATM traffic). Please see VPI & VCI in Appendix B for moreinformation.3.7 MultiplexingThere are two conventions to identify what protocols the virtual circuit (VC) is carrying. Be sure to use themultiplexing method required by your ISP.3.7.1 VC-based multiplexingIn this case, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a specific virtual circuit, e.g., VC1carries IP, VC2 carries IPX, etc. VC-based multiplexing may be dominant in environments where dynamiccreation of large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and economical.3.7.2 LLC-based multiplexingIn this case one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol identifying information being contained in eachpacket header. Despite the extra bandwidth and processing overhead, this method may be advantageous if itis not practical to have a separate VC for each carried protocol, e.g., if charging heavily depends on thenumber of simultaneous VCs.WANLANLAN IPPrestigeINTERNETWAN IPThe interface to the Internet or a remotenode is the ADSL portThe interface tothe LAN isEthernet
Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access RouterInternet Access 3-73.8 EncapsulationBe sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Prestige supports the followingmethods.3.8.1 ENET ENCAPThe MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only implemented with the IP networkprotocol. IP packets are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted sothat they can be understood in a bridged environment i.e., it encapsulates routed Ethernet frames intobridged ATM cells. ENET ENCAP requires that you specify a gateway IP address in the EthernetEncapsulation Gateway field in Menu 4 and in the Rem IP Addr field in Menu 11.1. You can get thisinformation from your ISP.3.8.2 PPP over EthernetThe Prestige bridges a PPP session over Ethernet (PPP over Ethernet, RFC 2516) from your PC to an ATMPVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) which connects to a xDSL Access Concentrator where the PPP sessionterminates. One PVC can support any number of PPP sessions from your LAN. PPPoE provides accesscontrol and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP.For more information on PPPoE, see PPP over Ethernet in Appendix A.3.8.3 PPPPlease refer to RFC 2364 for more information on PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). Refer toRFC 1661 for more information on PPP.3.8.4 RFC 1483RFC 1483 describes two methods for Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5).The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit (LLC-basedmultiplexing) and the second method assumes that each protocol is carried over a separate ATM virtualcircuit (VC-based multiplexing). Please refer to the RFC for more detailed information.3.9 IP Address AssignmentThe Single User Account feature can be enabled or disabled no matter whether you have a dynamic or staticIP. However the encapsulation method assigned influences your choices for IP Address and ENET ENCAPGateway.3.9.1 Using PPP or PPPoE EncapsulationIf you have a dynamic IP, then the IP Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields are not applicable (N/A).If you have a static IP, then you only need to fill in the IP Address field and not the ENET ENCAPGateway field.
Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router3-8 Internet Access3.9.2 Using RFC 1483 EncapsulationIn this case the IP Address Assignment must be static with the same requirements for the IP Address andENET ENCAP Gateway fields as stated above (in 3.9.1).3.9.3 Using ENET ENCAP EncapsulationIn this case you can have either a static or dynamic IP. For a static IP you must fill in all the IP Address andENET ENCAP Gateway fields as supplied by your ISP. However for a dynamic IP, the Prestige acts as aDHCP client on the WAN port and so the IP Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields are not applicable(N/A) as they are assigned to the Prestige by the DHCP server.3.10 Internet Access ConfigurationMenu 4 allows you to enter the Internet Access information in one screen. Menu 4 is actually a simplifiedsetup for one of the remote nodes that you can access in Menu 11. Before you configure your Prestige forInternet access, you need to collect your Internet account information from your ISP and telephonecompany.Use the following table to record your Internet Account Information. Note that if you are using PPP orPPPoE encapsulation, then the only ISP information you need is a login name and password. You only needto know the Ethernet Encapsulation Gateway IP address if you are using ENET ENCAP encapsulation.

If theconnection fails, note the error message that you receive on the screen and take the appropriatetroubleshooting steps.3.11 Single User AccountTypically, if there are multiple users on the LAN wanting to concurrently access the Internet, you will haveto lease a block of legal, or globally unique, IP addresses from the ISP.The Single User Account (SUA) feature allows you to have the same benefits as having multiple legaladdresses, but only pay for one IP address, thus saving significantly on the subscription fees. (Check withyour ISP before you enable this feature). SUA supports popular Internet applications such as MS traceroute,CuSeeMe, IRC, RealAudio, VDOLive, Quake and PPTP with no extra configuration needed.
Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router3-12 Internet AccessFigure 3-5 Single User Account TopologyThe IP address for the SUA can be either fixed or dynamically assigned by the ISP. In addition, you candesignate servers, e.g., a web server and a telnet server, on your local network and make them accessible tothe outside world. If you do not define any server, SUA offers the additional benefit of firewall protection.If no server is defined, all incoming inquiries will be filtered out by your Prestige, thus preventing intrudersfrom probing your network. Your Prestige accomplishes this address sharing by translating the internalLAN IP addresses to a single address that is globally unique on the Internet. For more information on IPaddress translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT).3.11.1 Advantages of SUAIn summary:l SUA is a cost-effective solution for small offices to access the Internet or other remote TCP/IPnetworks.l SUA supports servers to be accessible to the outside world.l SUA can provide firewall protection if you do not specify a server.

Also, since you need to specify the IP address of a serverin the Prestige, a server must have a fixed IP address and not be a DHCP client whose IP address potentiallychanges each time it is powered on.In addition to the servers for specific services, SUA supports a default server. A service request that doesnot have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default server is notdefined, the service request is simply discarded.To make a server visible to the outside world, specify the port number of the service and the inside IPaddress of the server in Menu 15 - Multiple Server Configuration.3.12.1 Configuring a Server behind SUAFollow the steps below to configure a server behind SUA:1.

Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access RouterRemote Node Configuration 4-1Chapter 4Remote Node ConfigurationA remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the remotegateway and the network behind it across a WAN connection. Note that when you use Menu 4 to set upInternet access, you are actually configuring one of the remote nodes.4.1 Remote Node SetupThis section describes the protocol-independent parameters for a remote node.4.1.1 Remote Node ProfileTo configure a remote node, follow these steps:Step 1. From the Main Menu, select menu option 1. Remote Node SetupStep 2. When Menu 11 appears, as shown below, enter the number of the remote node that you wish toconfigure.Figure 4-1 Menu 11 – Remote Node SetupMenu 11 - Remote Node Setup 1. nodename 2. ________ 3. ________ 4. ________ 5. ________ 6. ________ 7. ________ 8. ________ 9. ________ 10. ________ 11. ________ 12. ________Enter Node # to Edit:In this chapter, we discuss the parameters that are protocolindependent.

Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router4-2 Remote Node ConfigurationWhen Menu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile appears fill in the fields as described in the table that follows todefine this remote profile. The Remote Node Profile Menu Fields table shows how to configure the RemoteNode Menu.4.1.2 Encapsulation & Multiplexing ScenariosFor Internet Access you should use the encapsulation and multiplexing methods used by your ISP. For aLAN-to-LAN application, e.g., branch office and corporate headquarters, prior mutual agreement onmethods used is necessary because there is no mechanism to automatically determineencapsulation/multiplexing. Selection of which encapsulation and multiplexing methods to use depends onhow many VCs you have and how many different network protocols you need. The extra overhead that PPPover Ethernet (PPPoE) and ENET ENCAP encapsulation entail makes them a poor choice in a LAN-to-LAN application. Here are some examples of more suitable combinations in such an application.Scene 1. One VC, Multiple ProtocolsPPP (RFC 2364) encapsulation with VC-based multiplexing is the best combination because the extraprotocol identifying headers that LLC-based multiplexing uses is unneeded. The PPP protocol alreadycontains this information.Scene 2. One VC, One Protocol (IP)Select RFC-1483 encapsulation with VC-based multiplexing requires the least amount of overhead (0octets). However, if there is a potential need for multiple protocol support in the future, it may be safer toselect PPP encapsulation instead of RFC-1483, so you don’t need to reconfigure either machine when thetime comes.Scene 3. Multiple VCsIf you have an equal number (or more) of VCs than the number of protocols, then select RFC-1483encapsulation and VC-based multiplexing.

For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in thefollowing diagram through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet tonetwork N3 because it doesn’t know that there is a route through remote node Router 1 (via Router 2). Thestatic routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.Figure 5-5 Example of Static Routing TopologyRouter 2N2 N3Router 1N1

Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router IPX Configuration 6-1Chapter 6IPX Configuration6.1 IPX Network EnvironmentNovell bundles the protocol stack, the server software and routing functionality in their NetWare serverproducts, so a NetWare server is not only a file or print server, it is also a router.6.1.1 Network and Node NumberEvery IPX machine has a network number and a node number, together they form the complete address ofthe machine. The IPX network number is a 32-bit quantity and is usually expressed in 8 hexadecimaldigits, e.g., 0893A8CF. The host number is a 48-bit quantity and usually is taken from the MAC (MediaAccess Control) address of the Ethernet hardware, so you don’t have to explicitly configure the nodenumber.An IPX client obtains its network number from a server that has the network numbers statically configured.If there are multiple servers on a network, only one server need to have the network numbers configuredand all other stations (clients and servers) can obtain the network numbers from it. The server withconfigured network numbers is called a seed router.If you have a NetWare server on the same LAN as the Prestige 641, we recommend that you set up aNetWare server as a seed router. Even though the Prestige 641 is capable as a seed router, a NetWareserver offers a much more extensive facility for network management.6.1.2 Frame TypesIPX can run on top of four different frame types on the Ethernet. These frame types are 802.2, 802.3,Ethernet II (DIX), and SNAP (Sub-Network Access Protocol). Each frame type is a separate logicalnetwork, even though they exist on one physical cable (see the following diagram).Although there are four frame types available on the Ethernet, you should configure as few frame types aspossible on your NetWare server and use automatic frame detection on the clients to simplify managementand to reduce network overhead.This chapter shows you how to configure theIPX parameters of the Prestige 641.
Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router6-2 IPX ConfigurationFigure 6-1 NetWare Server6.1.3 External Network NumberEach of the four logical networks (based on frame type) has its own external network number.6.1.4 Internal Network NumberIn addition to the external network numbers, each NetWare server has its own internal network number thatis a virtual network to which the server is attached. It is important to remember that every network numbermust be unique for that entire internetwork, either internal or external.6.2 Prestige 641 in an IPX EnvironmentThere are two scenarios in which your Prestige 641 is deployed, depending on whether there is a NetWareserver on the LAN, as depicted in the following diagram.

Your Prestige 641 will learn the network number from the seed router and add the routes to itsrouting table.6.2.2 Prestige 641 on LAN without ServerEach IPX network must have a seed router. If you only have NetWare clients on your network, then youmust configure the Prestige 641 as a seed router and set up unique network numbers for each frame typeenabled using the Ethernet Setup Menu.

Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access RouterBridging Setup 7-1Chapter 7Bridging Setup7.1 Bridging in GeneralBridging bases the forwarding decision on the MAC (Media Access Control), or hardware address, whilerouting does it on the network layer (IP or IPX) address. Bridging allows the Prestige 641 to transportpackets of network layer protocols that the Prestige 641 does not route, e.g., SNA, from one network toanother. The caveat is that, compared to routing, bridging generates more traffic for the same network layerprotocol 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 and IPXon your network. For IP and IPX, enable the respective routing if you need it; do not bridge what thePrestige 641 can route.7.2 Bridge Ethernet SetupBasically, all non-local packets are bridged to the WAN; however, your Prestige 641 applies specialhandling for certain IPX packets to reduce the number of calls, depending on the setting of the Handle IPXfield.This chapter shows you how to configure thebridging parameters of your Prestige.

RIP and SAP(Service Advertising Protocol) response packets will not trigger calls.Server When there are only IPX servers on the LAN. No RIP or SAP packetswill trigger calls. In addition, during the time when the line is down, yourPrestige 641 will reply to watchdog messages from the servers on behalfof remote clients. The period of time that your Prestige 641 will do this islinked to the Ethernet Address Timeout parameter in each remote node(see Remote Node Configuration). When a remote Ethernet address isaged out, there is no need to maintain its connection to the IPX server.7.2.1 Remote Node Bridging SetupFollow the procedure in Chapter 5 to configure the protocol-independent parameters in Menu 11.1 -Remote Node Profile.

Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access RouterFilter Configuration 8-1Chapter 8Filter Configuration8.1 About FilteringYour Prestige uses filters to decide whether or not to allow passage of a packet. Data filters are divided intoincoming and outgoing filters, depending on the direction of the packet relative to a port. These filters arefurther subdivided into device and protocol filters, which are discussed later.The following sections describe how to configure filter sets.The Filter Structure of the PrestigeA filter set consists of one or more filter rules. Usually, you would group related rules, e.g., all the rules forNetBIOS, into a single set and give it a descriptive name. The Prestige allows you to configure up to twelvefilter sets with six rules in each set, for a total of 72 filter rules in the system. You cannot mix device filterrules and protocol filter rules within the same set.Three sets of factory default filter rules have been configured in Menu 21 to prevent NetBIOS traffic fromtriggering calls and to prevent incoming telnetting. A summary of their filter rules is shown in the figuresthat follow and also see section 8.5 Applying a Filter and Factory Defaults.You can apply up to four filter sets to a particular port to block multiple types of packets. With each filterset having up to six rules, you can have a maximum of 24 rules active for a single port.8.2 Configuring a Filter SetTo configure a filter sets, follow this procedure:Step 1. Enter 21 from the Main Menu to open Menu 21 - Filter Set Configuration.This chapter shows you how tocreate and apply filter(s).

Depending on the type of rule, theparameters below the type will be different. Use the space bar to select the type of rule that you wish tocreate in the Filter Type field and press Enter to open the respective menu.To speed up filtering, all rules in a filter set must be of the same class, i.e., protocol filters or generic filters.The class of a filter set is determined by the first rule that you create. When applying the filter sets to a
Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router8-6 Filter Configurationport, separate menu fields are provided for protocol and device filter sets. If you include a protocol filter setin a device filters field or vice versa, the Prestige will warn you and will not allow you to save.8.4 Filter Types and SUAThere are two types of filter rules, Device Filter (Generic) rules and Protocol Filter (TCP/IP and IPX)rules. Device Filter rules act on the raw data from/to LAN and WAN. Protocol Filter rules act on the IPand IPX packets. Generic and TCP/IP filter rules are discussed in more detail in the next section. WhenNAT/SUA (Network Address Translation/Single User Account) is enabled, the inside IP address and portnumber are replaced on a connection-by-connection basis, which makes it impossible to know the exactaddress and port on the wire. Therefore, the Prestige applies the protocol filters to the “native” IP addressand port number before NAT/SUA for outgoing packets and after NAT/SUA for incoming packets. On theother hand, the generic, or device filters are applied to the raw packets that appear on the wire. They areapplied at the point when the Prestige is receiving and sending the packets; i.e. the interface. The interfacecan be an Ethernet, or any other hardware port. The following diagram illustrates this.Figure 8-5 Protocol and Device Filter Sets8.4.1 TCP/IP Filter RuleThis section shows you how to configure a TCP/IP filter rule. TCP/IP rules allow you to base the rule onthe fields in the IP and the upper layer protocol, e.g., UDP and TCP, headers.IncomingDeviceFiltersSUAIncomingProtocolFiltersRouteOutgoingProtocolFiltersSUAOutgoingDeviceFiltersInterface

Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access RouterFilter Configuration 8-98.4.2 Generic Filter RuleThis section shows you how to configure a generic filter rule. The purpose of generic rules is to allow youto filter non-IP packets. For IP, it is generally easier to use the IP rules directly.For generic rules, the Prestige treats a packet as a byte stream as opposed to an IP or IPX packet. Youspecify the portion of the packet to check with the Offset (from 0) and the Length fields, both in bytes. ThePrestige applies the Mask (bit-wise ANDing) to the data portion before comparing the result against theValue to determine a match. The Mask and Value are specified in hexadecimal numbers. Note that it takestwo hexadecimal digits to represent a byte, so if the length is 4, the value in either field will take 8 digits,e.g., FFFFFFFF.To configure a generic rule, select Generic Filter Rule in the Filter Type field and press Enter to open Menu21.1.2 - Generic Filter Rule, as shown next.Figure 8-7 Menu 21.1.2 - Generic Filter RuleThe following table describes the fields in the Generic Filter Rule Menu.Menu 21.1.2 - Generic Filter RuleFilter #: 1,1Filter Type= Generic Filter RuleActive= NoOffset= 0Length= 0Mask= N/AValue= N/AMore= No Log= NoneAction Matched= Check Next RuleAction Not Matched= Check Next RulePress ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:

Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access RouterCAppendix AAppendix APPP over EthernetPPPoE (PPP over Ethernet, RFC 2516) uses Ethernet as a point-to-point link to transport PPP frames.PPPoE offers the following benefits:1. It provides you with a familiar dial-up networking (DUN) user interface.2. It lessens the burden on the carriers of provisioning virtual circuits all the way to the ISP on multipleswitches for thousands of users. For GSTN (PSTN & ISDN), the switching fabric is already in place.3. It allows the ISP to use the existing dial-up model to authenticate and (optionally) to providedifferentiated services.Traditional Dial-up ScenarioThe following diagram depicts a typical hardware configuration where the PCs use traditional dial-upnetworking.Diagram 1 Single-PC per Modem Hardware ConfigurationThe PPPoE driver makes the Ethernet appear as a serial link to the PC and the PC runs PPP over it, whilethe modem bridges the Ethernet frames to the Access Concentrator (AC). Between the AC and an ISP, theAC is acting as a L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator) and tunnels thePPP frames to the ISP. The L2TP tunnel is capable of carrying multiple PPP sessions.With PPPoE, the VC (Virtual Circuit) is equivalent to the dial-up connection and is between the modem andthe AC, as opposed to all the way to the ISP. However, the PPP negotiation is between the PC and the ISP.ADSL ModemADSL ModemADSL ModemADSL ModemISP 1AccessConcentratorISP 2ATM
Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access RouterDAppendix APrestige as a PPPoE ClientPPPoE is transparent to a broadband modem; the modem simply bridges the Ethernet frames from one portto another. However, when an ADSL Prestige is deployed in such a setup, it must appear as a single host tothe AC.Diagram 2 Prestige as a PPPoE ClientEthernetPrestige641ADISP 1AccessConcentratorADSLATM
Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access RouterEAppendix BAppendix BVPI & VCIATM is a connection-oriented technology, meaning that it sets up virtual circuits over which end systemscommunicate. The terminology for virtual circuits is as follows:l VC (virtual channel) Logical connections between end stationsl VP (virtual path) A bundle of VCsThink of a VP as a cable that contains a bundle of wires. The cable connects two points, and wires withinthe cable provide individual circuits between the two points. In an ATM cell header, a VPI (Virtual PathIdentifier) identifies a link formed by a virtual path and a VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) identifies achannel within a virtual path. The VPI and VCI are identified and correspond to termination points at ATMswitches as shown. Your telephone company should supply you with these numbers.Diagram 3 VPI's & VCI's.
