This field is available only when you select wpa 2 in the Se c urity Mo de field and set C iphe r Type to a e s.

Data frames in 802.11 WLANs can be encrypted and authenticated with WEP, WPA or WPA2. But 802.11 management frames, such as beacon/probe response, association request, association response, de-authentication and disassociation are always unauthenticated and unencrypted. IEEE 802.11w Protected Management Frames allows APs to use the existing security mechanisms (encryption and authentication methods defined in IEEE 802.11i WPA/WPA2) to protect management frames. This helps prevent wireless DoS attacks.

Select the check box to enable management frame protection (MFP) to add security to 802.11 management frames. This option is always enabled if you select e nha nc e d- o pe n or WPA3 as the Se c urity Mo de .

If O ptio na l is selected, WiFi clients will not be not required to support MFP. Management frames will be encrypted if the clients support MFP.

The client can communicate with other wireless clients only if Intra-BSS Traffic blocking is disabled. Note: Intra-BSS Traffic Blocking is activated when you enable layer-2 isolation. Fig ure 104 Layer-2 Isolation Application

MAC addresses that are not listed in the layer-2 isolation table are blocked from communicating with the Zyxel Device's wireless clients except for broadcast packets. Layer-2 isolation does not check the traffic between wireless clients that are associated with the same AP. Intra-BSS traffic allows wireless clients associated with the same AP to communicate with each other.

C HA PTER 1 6 C e rtific a te s
16.1 O ve rvie w
The Zyxel Device can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to authenticate users. Certificates are based on public-private key pairs. A certificate contains the certificate owner's identity and public key. Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.
16.1.1 Wha t Yo u C a n Do in this C ha pte r
· The My C e rtific a te s screens (Section 16.2 on page 177) generate and export self-signed certificates or certification requests and import the Zyxel Device's CA-signed certificates.
· The Truste d C e rtific a te s screens (Section 16.3 on page 184) save CA certificates and trusted remote host certificates to the Zyxel Device. The Zyxel Device trusts any valid certificate that you have imported as a trusted certificate. It also trusts any valid certificate signed by any of the certificates that you have imported as a trusted certificate.
16.1.2 Wha t Yo u Ne e d to Kno w
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
When using public-key cryptology for authentication, each host has two keys. One key is public and can be made openly available. The other key is private and must be kept secure.
These keys work like a handwritten signature (in fact, certificates are often referred to as "digital signatures"). Only you can write your signature exactly as it should look. When people know what your signature looks like, they can verify whether something was signed by you, or by someone else. In the same way, your private key "writes" your digital signature and your public key allows people to verify whether data was signed by you, or by someone else.
This process works as follows:
1 Tim wants to send a message to Jenny. He needs her to be sure that it comes from him, and that the message content has not been altered by anyone else along the way. Tim generates a public key pair (one public key and one private key).
2 Tim keeps the private key and makes the public key openly available. This means that anyone who receives a message seeming to come from Tim can read it and verify whether it is really from him or not.
3 Tim uses his private key to sign the message and sends it to Jenny.
4 Jenny receives the message and uses Tim's public key to verify it. Jenny knows that the message is from Tim, and that although other people may have been able to read the message, no-one can have altered it (because they cannot re-sign the message with Tim's private key).
NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide
174

Chapter 16 Certificates
5 Additionally, Jenny uses her own private key to sign a message and Tim uses Jenny's public key to verify the message.
The Zyxel Device uses certificates based on public-key cryptology to authenticate users attempting to establish a connection, not to encrypt the data that you send after establishing a connection. The method used to secure the data that you send through an established connection depends on the type of connection.
The certification authority uses its private key to sign certificates. Anyone can then use the certification authority's public key to verify the certificates.
A certification path is the hierarchy of certification authority certificates that validate a certificate. The Zyxel Device does not trust a certificate if any certificate on its path has expired or been revoked.
Certification authorities maintain directory servers with databases of valid and revoked certificates. A directory of certificates that have been revoked before the scheduled expiration is called a CRL (Certificate Revocation List). The Zyxel Device can check a peer's certificate against a directory server's list of revoked certificates. The framework of servers, software, procedures and policies that handles keys is called PKI (public-key infrastructure).
Adva nta g e s o f C e rtific a te s
Certificates offer the following benefits.
· The Zyxel Device only has to store the certificates of the certification authorities that you decide to trust, no matter how many devices you need to authenticate.
· Key distribution is simple and very secure since you can freely distribute public keys and you never need to transmit private keys.
Se lf- sig ne d C e rtific a te s
You can have the Zyxel Device act as a certification authority and sign its own certificates.
Fa c to ry De fa ult C e rtific a te
The Zyxel Device generates its own unique self-signed certificate when you first turn it on. This certificate is referred to in the GUI as the factory default certificate.
C e rtific a te File Fo rm a ts
Any certificate that you want to import has to be in one of these file formats:
· Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates. · PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses lowercase letters, uppercase
letters and numerals to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form. · Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data (including digital signatures)
that may be encrypted. A PKCS #7 file is used to transfer a public key certificate. The private key is not included. The Zyxel Device currently allows the importation of a PKS#7 file that contains a single certificate. · PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable form.
NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide
175

Chapter 16 Certificates · Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates.The private key
in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file's password is not connected to your certificate's public or private passwords. Exporting a PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you import the file into the Zyxel Device. Note: Be careful not to convert a binary file to text during the transfer process. It is easy for this
to occur since many programs use text files by default.
16.1.3 Ve rifying a C e rtific a te
Before you import a trusted certificate into the Zyxel Device, you should verify that you have the correct certificate. You can do this using the certificate's fingerprint. A certificate's fingerprint is a message digest calculated using the MD5 or SHA1 algorithm. The following procedure describes how to check a certificate's fingerprint to verify that you have the actual certificate. 1 Browse to where you have the certificate saved on your computer. 2 Make sure that the certificate has a ".cer" or ".crt" file name extension.
3 Double-click the certificate's icon to open the C e rtific a te window. Click the De ta ils tab and scroll down to the Thum b print Alg o rithm and Thum b print fields.
4 Use a secure method to verify that the certificate owner has the same information in the Thum bprint Alg o rithm and Thum b print fields. The secure method may vary based on your situation. Possible examples would be over the telephone or through an HTTPS connection. NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide

16.4 Te c hnic a l Re fe re nc e
The following section contains additional technical information about the features described in this chapter.
O C SP
OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) allows an application or device to check whether a certificate is valid. With OCSP the Zyxel Device checks the status of individual certificates instead of downloading a Certificate Revocation List (CRL). OCSP has two main advantages over a CRL. The first is real-time status information. The second is a reduction in network traffic since the Zyxel Device only gets information on the certificates that it needs to verify, not a huge list. When the Zyxel Device requests certificate status information, the OCSP server returns a "expired", "current" or "unknown" response.

17.4.1 Pre - de fine d NTP Tim e Se rve rs List
When you turn on the Zyxel Device for the first time, the date and time start at 2003-01-01 00:00:00. The Zyxel Device then attempts to synchronize with one of the following pre-defined list of Network Time Protocol (NTP) time servers. The Zyxel Device continues to use the following pre-defined list of NTP time servers if you do not specify a time server or it cannot synchronize with the time server you specified. Table 82 Default Time Servers
0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org
When the Zyxel Device uses the pre-defined list of NTP time servers, it randomly selects one server and tries to synchronize with it. If the synchronization fails, then the Zyxel Device goes through the rest of the list in order from the first one tried until either it is successful or all the pre-defined NTP time servers have been tried.

17.5.3 HTTPS
You can set the Zyxel Device to use HTTP or HTTPS (HTTPS adds security) for Web Configurator sessions. HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web protocol that encrypts and decrypts web pages. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-level protocol that enables secure transactions of data by ensuring confidentiality (an unauthorized party cannot read the transferred data), authentication (one party can identify the other party) and data integrity (you know if data has been changed). It relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys (see Chapter 16 on page 174 for more information). HTTPS on the Zyxel Device is used so that you can securely access the Zyxel Device using the Web Configurator. The SSL protocol specifies that the HTTPS server (the Zyxel Device) must always authenticate itself to the HTTPS client (the computer which requests the HTTPS connection with the Zyxel Device), whereas the HTTPS client only should authenticate itself when the HTTPS server requires it to do so (select Authe ntic a te C lie nt C e rtific a te s in the WWW screen). Authe ntic a te C lie nt C e rtific a te s is optional and if selected means the HTTPS client must send the Zyxel Device a certificate. You must apply for a certificate for the browser from a CA that is a trusted CA on the Zyxel Device. Please refer to the following figure.
1 HTTPS connection requests from an SSL-aware web browser go to port 443 (by default) on the Zyxel Device's web server.
2 HTTP connection requests from a web browser go to port 80 (by default) on the Zyxel Device's web server. Fig ure 123 HTTP/HTTPS Implementation
Note: If you disable HTTP in the WWW screen, then the Zyxel Device blocks all HTTP connection attempts.

The following figure is an example of how a secure connection is established between two remote hosts using SSH v1. Fig ure 129 How SSH v1 Works Example
1 Host Identification The SSH client sends a connection request to the SSH server. The server identifies itself with a host key. The client encrypts a randomly generated session key with the host key and server key and sends the result back to the server. The client automatically saves any new server public keys. In subsequent connections, the server public key is checked against the saved version on the client computer.
2 Encryption Method Once the identification is verified, both the client and server must agree on the type of encryption method to use.
3 Authentication and Data Transmission After the identification is verified and data encryption activated, a secure tunnel is established between the client and the server. The client then sends its authentication information (user name and password) to the server to log in to the server.

Chapter 17 System
17.9 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. Your Zyxel Device supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Zyxel Device through the network. The Zyxel Device supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1), version two (SNMPv2c), and version three (SNMPv3). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation. Fig ure 136 SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the Zyxel Device). 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. The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as 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.
NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide

Chapter 17 System

· Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.

17.9.1 Suppo rte d MIBs
The Zyxel Device supports MIB II that is defined in RFC-1213 and RFC-1215. The Zyxel Device also supports private MIBs (ZYXEL-ES-CAPWAP.MIB, ZYXEL-ES-COMMON.MIB, ZYXEL-ES-ZyXELAPMgmt.MIB, ZYXEL-ESPROWLAN.MIB, ZYXEL-ES-RFMGMT.MIB, ZYXEL-ES-SMI.MIB, and ZYXEL-ES-WIRELESS.MIB) to collect information about CPU and memory usage and VPN total throughput. The focus of the MIBs is to let administrators collect statistical data and monitor status and performance. You can download the Zyxel Device's MIBs from www.zyxel.com.

17.9.2 SNMP Tra ps

The Zyxel Device will send traps to the SNMP manager when any one of the following events occurs.

These screens control log messages and alerts. A log message stores the information for viewing (for example, in the Mo nito r > Vie w Lo g screen) or regular e-mailing later, and an alert is e-mailed immediately. Usually, alerts are used for events that require more serious attention, such as system errors and attacks.
The Zyxel Device provides a system log and supports e-mail profiles and remote syslog servers. The system log is available on the Vie w Lo g screen, the e-mail profiles are used to mail log messages to the specified destinations, and the other four logs are stored on specified syslog servers.
The Lo g Se tting tab also controls what information is saved in each log. For the system log, you can also specify which log messages are e-mailed, where they are e-mailed, and how often they are e-mailed.
For alerts, the Lo g Se tting screen controls which events generate alerts and where alerts are e-mailed.
The Lo g Se tting screen provides a summary of all the settings.

C HA PTER 1 9 File Ma na g e r
19.1 O ve rvie w
Configuration files define the Zyxel Device's settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can store on the Zyxel Device and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or run a shell script without the Zyxel Device restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files on the Zyxel Device. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to the Zyxel Device. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.
19.1.1 Wha t Yo u C a n Do in this C ha pte r
· The C o nfig ura tio n File screen (Section 19.2 on page 226) stores and names configuration files. You can also download and upload configuration files.
· The Firm wa re Pa c ka g e screen (Section 19.3 on page 231) checks your current firmware version and uploads firmware to the Zyxel Device.
· The She ll Sc ript screen (Section 19.4 on page 233) stores, names, downloads, uploads and runs shell script files.
19.1.2 Wha t yo u Ne e d to Kno w
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
C o nfig ura tio n File s a nd She ll Sc ripts
When you apply a configuration file, the Zyxel Device uses the factory default settings for any features that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the Zyxel Device only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
These files have the same syntax, which is also identical to the way you run CLI commands manually. An example is shown below. Fig ure 144 Configuration File / Shell Script: Example # enter configuration mode configure terminal # change administrator password username admin password 4321 user-type admin #configure default radio profile, change 2GHz channel to 11 & Tx output power # to 50% wlan-radio-profile default 2g-channel 11 output-power 50% exit write
NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide

Chapter 19 File Manager

While configuration files and shell scripts have the same syntax, the Zyxel Device applies configuration files differently than it runs shell scripts. This is explained below.

Table 95 Configuration Files and Shell Scripts in the Zyxel Device

Configuration Files (.conf)

Shell Scripts (.zysh)

· Resets to default configuration. · Goes into CLI C o nfig ura tio n mode. · Runs the commands in the configuration file.

· Goes into CLI Privile g e mode. · Runs the commands in the shell script.

You have to run the aforementioned example as a shell script because the first command is run in Privile g e mode. If you remove the first command, you have to run the example as a configuration file because the rest of the commands are executed in C o nfig ura tio n mode.

C o m m e nts in C o nfig ura tio n File s o r She ll Sc ripts
In a configuration file or shell script, use "#" or "!" as the first character of a command line to have the Zyxel Device treat the line as a comment.
Your configuration files or shell scripts can use "exit" or a command line consisting of a single "!" to have the Zyxel Device exit sub command mode.
Note: "exit" or "!'" must follow sub commands if it is to make the Zyxel Device exit sub command mode.
In the following example lines 1 and 2 are comments. Line 7 exits sub command mode.

! this is from Joe # on 2010/12/05 wlan-ssid-profile default ssid Joe-AP qos wmm security default !

Erro rs in C o nfig ura tio n File s o r She ll Sc ripts
When you apply a configuration file or run a shell script, the Zyxel Device processes the file line-by-line. The Zyxel Device checks the first line and applies the line if no errors are detected. Then it continues with the next line. If the Zyxel Device finds an error, it stops applying the configuration file or shell script and generates a log.
You can change the way a configuration file or shell script is applied. Include setenv stop-on-error off in the configuration file or shell script. The Zyxel Device ignores any errors in the configuration file or shell script and applies all of the valid commands. The Zyxel Device still generates a log for any errors.

19.2 C o nfig ura tio n File
Click Ma inte na nc e > File Ma na g e r > C o nfig ura tio n File to open this screen. Use the C o nfig ura tio n File screen to store, run, and name configuration files. You can also download configuration files from the Zyxel Device to your computer and upload configuration files from your computer to the Zyxel Device.
NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide

Chapter 19 File Manager Once your Zyxel Device is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you back up your configuration file before making further configuration changes. The backup configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
C o nfig ura tio n File Flo w a t Re sta rt
· If there is not a sta rtup- c o nfig .c o nf when you restart the Zyxel Device (whether through a management interface or by physically turning the power off and back on), the Zyxel Device uses the syste m - de fa ult.c o nf configuration file with the Zyxel Device's default settings.
· If there is a sta rtup- c o nfig .c o nf, the Zyxel Device checks it for errors and applies it. If there are no errors, the Zyxel Device uses it and copies it to the la stg o o d.c o nf configuration file as a back up file. If there is an error, the Zyxel Device generates a log and copies the sta rtup- c o nfig .c o nf configuration file to the sta rtup- c o nfig - b a d.c o nf configuration file and tries the existing la stg o o d.c o nf configuration file. If there isn't a la stg o o d.c o nf configuration file or it also has an error, the Zyxel Device applies the syste m - de fa ult.c o nf configuration file.
· You can change the way the sta rtup- c o nfig .c o nf file is applied. Include the setenv-startup stopon-error off command. The Zyxel Device ignores any errors in the sta rtup- c o nfig .c o nf file and applies all of the valid commands. The Zyxel Device still generates a log for any errors.

I enabled NC C Disc o ve ry, but the Zyxel Device is still in standalone mode.
Make sure your Zyxel Device is registered to the NCC.
The Zyxel Device is already registered with NCC, but it is still in standalone mode; it cannot connect to the NCC.
1 Make sure that NCC Discovery is enabled (see Section 9.6 on page 107). 2 Check your network's firewall/security settings. Make sure the following TCP ports are allowed: 443, 4335,
and 6667. 3 Make sure your Zyxel Device can access the Internet. 4 Check your network's VLAN settings (see Section 9.3 on page 101). You may have to change the
Management VLAN settings of the Zyxel Device to allow it to connect to the Internet and access the NCC. Note: Changing the management VLAN and IP address settings on the Zyxel Device also
pushes these changes to the NCC. Do this only if your device cannot otherwise connect to the NCC. 5 Make sure your Zyxel Device does not have to go through network authentication such as a captive portal, If your network uses a captive portal, the network administrator may have to create a new VLAN without this requirement. Change your Zyxel Device's management VLAN settings as necessary.
I want to switch from NCC to AC management, but I could not find the AC Disc o ve ry menu in the Zyxel Device Web Configurator.
1 Unregister the Zyxel Device from the NCC. 2 Reset your Zyxel Device to the factory defaults. 3 Make sure that your Zyxel Device is in the same subnet as the AC, and enable AC Disc o ve ry in

3 Make sure that the Zyxel Device and the AC are both in the same subnet. 4 If you have to set them up in different subnets, see AC management and IP Subnets on page 99.
I accidentally pressed the Nebula button in the NXC's Web Configurator. How do I undo it?
1 If the Zyxel Device is not registered with the NCC, register it first. 2 Unregister the Zyxel Device from the NCC. 3 Reset the Zyxel Device to the factory defaults.
Some features I set using the NCC do not work as expected.
1 Make sure your Zyxel Device can access the Internet. 2 Check your network's firewall/security settings. Make sure the following ports are allowed:
· TCP: 443, 4335, and 6667 · UDP: 123 3 After changing your Zyxel Device settings using the NCC, wait 1-2 minutes for the changes to take effect.
I can only see newer logs. Older logs are missing.
When a log reaches the maximum number of log messages (see Section 1.4 on page 20), new log messages automatically overwrite the oldest log messages.
The commands in my configuration file or shell script are not working properly.
· In a configuration file or shell script, use "#" or "!" as the first character of a command line to have the Zyxel Device treat the line as a comment.
· Your configuration files or shell scripts can use "exit" or a command line consisting of a single "!" to have the Zyxel Device exit sub command mode.
· Include write commands in your scripts. Otherwise the changes will be lost when the Zyxel Device restarts. You could use multiple write commands in a long script.
Note: "exit" or "!'" must follow sub commands if it is to make the Zyxel Device exit sub command mode.

Clients cannot access the Internet through the Zyxel Device.
1 Check the Zyxel Device's hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected (refer to Section 3.3 on page 38). See the Quick Start Guide and Section 28.1 on page 258.
2 Make sure the Zyxel Device is connected to a broadband modem or router with Internet access and your computer is set to obtain an dynamic IP address.
3 If clients are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wireless settings on the wireless clients are the same as the settings on the Zyxel Device.
4 Disconnect all the cables from your Zyxel Device, and follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide again.
5 Reboot the client and reconnect to the Zyxel Device. 6 If the problem continues, contact your ISP.
The Internet connection is slow or intermittent.
1 There might be a lot of traffic on the network. Look at the LEDs, and check Section 3.3 on page 38. If the Zyxel Device is sending or receiving a lot of information, try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications.
2 Check the signal strength using the NCC, AC, Zyxel Device Web Configurator, or the client device itself. If the signal is weak, try moving the client closer to the Zyxel Device (if possible), and look around to see if there are any devices that might be interfering with the wireless network (microwaves, other wireless networks, and so on).
3 Reboot the Zyxel Device using the Web Configurator/CLI or the NCC or AC. 4 Check the settings for QoS. If it is disabled, activate it. When enabled, raise or lower the priority for some
applications.

5 If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor.
28.5 WiFi Ne two rk
The WiFi connection is slow or intermittent.
The following factors may cause interference: · Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture, and so on. · Building Materials: metal doors, aluminum studs. · Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors, electric motors, cordless phones, and other wireless devices. To optimize the speed and quality of your WiFi connection, you can: · Move your WiFi device closer to the Zyxel Device if the signal strength is low. · Reduce wireless interference that may be caused by other wireless networks or surrounding wireless
electronics such as cordless phones. · Place the Zyxel Device where there are minimum obstacles (such as walls and ceilings) between the
Zyxel Device and the wireless client. Avoid placing the Zyxel Device inside any type of box that might block WiFi signals.
I cannot access the Zyxel Device or ping any computer from the WLAN.
1 Make sure the wireless LAN (wireless radio) is enabled on the Zyxel Device. 2 Make sure the radio or at least one of the Zyxel Device's radios is operating in AP mode. 3 Make sure the wireless adapter (installed on your computer) is working properly. 4 Make sure the wireless adapter (installed on your computer) is IEEE 802.11 compatible and supports the
same wireless standard as the Zyxel Device's active radio. 5 Make sure your computer (with a wireless adapter installed) is within the transmission range of the Zyxel
Device. 6 Check that both the Zyxel Device and your computer are using the same wireless and wireless security
settings.
Hackers have accessed my WEP-encrypted wireless LAN.
NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide

Chapter 28 Troubleshooting
WEP is extremely insecure. Its encryption can be broken by an attacker, using widely-available software. It is strongly recommended that you use a more effective security mechanism. Use the strongest security mechanism that all the wireless devices in your network support. WPA2 or WPA2-PSK is recommended.
The wireless security is not following the re-authentication timer setting I specified.
If a RADIUS server authenticates wireless stations, the re-authentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. Change the RADIUS server's configuration if you need to use a different re-authentication timer setting.
I cannot import a certificate into the Zyxel Device.
1 For My C e rtific a te s, you can import a certificate that matches a corresponding certification request that was generated by the Zyxel Device. You can also import a certificate in PKCS#12 format, including the certificate's public and private keys.
2 You must remove any spaces from the certificate's filename before you can import the certificate. 3 Any certificate that you want to import has to be in one of these file formats:
· Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates. · PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses lowercase letters, uppercase
letters and numerals to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form. · Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data (including digital signatures)
that may be encrypted. A PKCS #7 file is used to transfer a public key certificate. The private key is not included. The Zyxel Device currently allows the importation of a PKS#7 file that contains a single certificate. · PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable form. · Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates.The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file's password is not connected to your certificate's public or private passwords. Exporting a PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you import the file into the Zyxel Device.
Note: Be careful not to convert a binary file to text during the transfer process. It is easy for this to occur since many programs use text files by default.
Wireless clients are not being load balanced among my Zyxel Devices.
· Make sure that all the Zyxel Devices used by the wireless clients in question share the same SSID, security, and radio settings.
· Make sure that all the Zyxel Devices are in the same broadcast domain. · Make sure that the wireless clients are in range of the other Zyxel Devices; if they are only in range of a
single Zyxel Device, then load balancing may not be as effective.
NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide
265

Chapter 28 Troubleshooting
In the Mo nito r > Wire le ss > AP Info rm a tio n > Ra dio List screen, there is no load balancing indicator associated with any Zyxel Devices assigned to the load balancing task.
· Check that the AP profile which contains the load balancing settings is correctly assigned to the Zyxel Devices in question.
· The load balancing task may have been terminated because further load balancing on the Zyxel Devices in question is no longer required.
28.6 Re se tting the Zyxe l De vic e
If you cannot access the Zyxel Device by any method, try restarting it by turning the power off and then on again. If you still cannot access the Zyxel Device by any method or you forget the administrator password(s), you can reset the Zyxel Device to its factory-default settings. Any configuration files or shell scripts that you saved on the Zyxel Device should still be available afterwards. Use the following procedure to reset the Zyxel Device to its factory-default settings. This overwrites the settings in the startup-config.conf file with the settings in the system-default.conf file. Note: This procedure removes the current configuration. 1 Make sure the Power LED is on and not blinking. 2 Press the RESETbutton and hold it until the Power LED begins to blink. (This usually takes about ten seconds.) 3 Release the RESETbutton, and wait for the Zyxel Device to restart. You should be able to access the Zyxel Device in standalone mode using the default settings.

Im po rting C e rtific a te s
This appendix shows you how to import public key certificates into your web browser. Public key certificates are used by web browsers to ensure that a secure web site is legitimate. When a certificate authority such as VeriSign, Comodo, or Network Solutions, to name a few, receives a certificate request from a website operator, they confirm that the web domain and contact information in the request match those on public record with a domain name registrar. If they match, then the certificate is issued to the website operator, who then places it on the site to be issued to all visiting web browsers to let them know that the site is legitimate. Many Zyxel products, such as the Zyxel Device, issue their own public key certificates. These can be used by web browsers on a LAN or WAN to verify that they are in fact connecting to the legitimate device and not one masquerading as it. However, because the certificates were not issued by one of the several organizations officially recognized by the most common web browsers, you will need to import the Zyxel-created certificate into your web browser and flag that certificate as a trusted authority. Note: You can see if you are browsing on a secure website if the URL in your web browser's
address bar begins with https:// or there is a sealed padlock icon ( ) somewhere in the main browser window (not all browsers show the padlock in the same location). G o o g le C hro m e The following example uses Google Chrome on Windows 7.

IPv6

O ve rvie w
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The increase in IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 1038 IP addresses.

IPv6 Addre ssing
The 128-bit IPv6 address is written as eight 16-bit hexadecimal blocks separated by colons (:). This is an example IPv6 address 2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000.
IPv6 addresses can be abbreviated in two ways:
· Leading zeros in a block can be omitted. So 2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000 can be written as 2001:db8:1a2b:15:0:0:1a2f:0.
· Any number of consecutive blocks of zeros can be replaced by a double colon. A double colon can only appear once in an IPv6 address. So 2001:0db8:0000:0000:1a2f:0000:0000:0015 can be written as 2001:0db8::1a2f:0000:0000:0015, 2001:0db8:0000:0000:1a2f::0015, 2001:db8::1a2f:0:0:15 or 2001:db8:0:0:1a2f::15.
Pre fix a nd Pre fix Le ng th
Similar to an IPv4 subnet mask, IPv6 uses an address prefix to represent the network address. An IPv6 prefix length specifies how many most significant bits (start from the left) in the address compose the network address. The prefix length is written as "/x" where x is a number. For example,
2001:db8:1a2b:15::1a2f:0/32
means that the first 32 bits (2001:db8) is the subnet prefix.
Link- lo c a l Addre ss
A link-local address uniquely identifies a device on the local network (the LAN). It is similar to a "private IP address" in IPv4. You can have the same link-local address on multiple interfaces on a device. A linklocal unicast address has a predefined prefix of fe80::/10. The link-local unicast address format is as follows.
Table 107 Link-local Unicast Address Format

1111 1110 10 10 bits

0 54 bits

Interface ID 64 bits

G lo b a l Addre ss
A global address uniquely identifies a device on the Internet. It is similar to a "public IP address" in IPv4. A global unicast address starts with a 2 or 3.
NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide
291

Appendix B IPv6

Unspe c ifie d Addre ss

An unspecified address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 or ::) is used as the source address when a device does not have its own address. It is similar to "0.0.0.0" in IPv4.

Lo o pb a c k Addre ss

A loopback address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or ::1) allows a host to send packets to itself. It is similar to "127.0.0.1" in IPv4.

Multic a st Addre ss

In IPv6, multicast addresses provide the same functionality as IPv4 broadcast addresses. Broadcasting is not supported in IPv6. A multicast address allows a host to send packets to all hosts in a multicast group.

Multicast scope allows you to determine the size of the multicast group. A multicast address has a predefined prefix of ff00::/8. The following table describes some of the predefined multicast addresses.

Table 108 Predefined Multicast Address

Appendix B IPv6

Sub ne t Ma sking
Both an IPv6 address and IPv6 subnet mask compose of 128-bit binary digits, which are divided into eight 16-bit blocks and written in hexadecimal notation. Hexadecimal uses four bits for each character (1 ~ 10, A ~ F). Each block's 16 bits are then represented by four hexadecimal characters. For example, FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FC00:0000:0000:0000.

Inte rfa c e ID
In IPv6, an interface ID is a 64-bit identifier. It identifies a physical interface (for example, an Ethernet port) or a virtual interface (for example, the management IP address for a VLAN). One interface should have a unique interface ID.

EUI- 64

The EUI-64 (Extended Unique Identifier) defined by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is an interface ID format designed to adapt with IPv6. It is derived from the 48-bit (6-byte) Ethernet MAC address as shown next. EUI-64 inserts the hex digits fffe between the third and fourth bytes of the MAC address and complements the seventh bit of the first byte of the MAC address. See the following example.

Table 110
MAC

00 : 13 : 49 : 12 : 34 : 56

Table 111
EUI- 64

02 : 13 : 49 : FF : FE : 12 : 34 : 56

Sta te le ss Auto c o nfig ura tio n
With stateless autoconfiguration in IPv6, addresses can be uniquely and automatically generated. Unlike DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version six) which is used in IPv6 stateful autoconfiguration, the owner and status of addresses don't need to be maintained by a DHCP server. Every IPv6 device is able to generate its own and unique IP address automatically when IPv6 is initiated on its interface. It combines the prefix and the interface ID (generated from its own Ethernet MAC address, see Interface ID and EUI-64) to form a complete IPv6 address.
When IPv6 is enabled on a device, its interface automatically generates a link-local address (beginning with fe80).
When the interface is connected to a network with a router and the Zyxel Device is set to automatically obtain an IPv6 network prefix from the router for the interface, it generates 1another address which combines its interface ID and global and subnet information advertised from the router. This is a routable global IP address.

DHC Pv6
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6, RFC 3315) is a server-client protocol that allows a DHCP server to assign and pass IPv6 network addresses, prefixes and other configuration information to DHCP clients. DHCPv6 servers and clients exchange DHCP messages using UDP.

1. In IPv6, all network interfaces can be associated with several addresses.
NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide
293

Appendix B IPv6

Each DHCP client and server has a unique DHCP Unique IDentifier (DUID), which is used for identification when they are exchanging DHCPv6 messages. The DUID is generated from the MAC address, time, vendor assigned ID and/or the vendor's private enterprise number registered with the IANA. It should not change over time even after you reboot the device.
Ide ntity Asso c ia tio n
An Identity Association (IA) is a collection of addresses assigned to a DHCP client, through which the server and client can manage a set of related IP addresses. Each IA must be associated with exactly one interface. The DHCP client uses the IA assigned to an interface to obtain configuration from a DHCP server for that interface. Each IA consists of a unique IAID and associated IP information. The IA type is the type of address in the IA. Each IA holds one type of address. IA_NA means an identity association for non-temporary addresses and IA_TA is an identity association for temporary addresses. An IA_NA option contains the T1 and T2 fields, but an IA_TA option does not. The DHCPv6 server uses T1 and T2 to control the time at which the client contacts with the server to extend the lifetimes on any addresses in the IA_NA before the lifetimes expire. After T1, the client sends the server (S1) (from which the addresses in the IA_NA were obtained) a Renew message. If the time T2 is reached and the server does not respond, the client sends a Rebind message to any available server (S2). For an IA_TA, the client may send a Renew or Rebind message at the client's discretion.
T2 T1

Renew to S1
Renew to S1

Rebind to S2
Rebind to S2

DHC P Re la y Ag e nt
A DHCP relay agent is on the same network as the DHCP clients and helps forward messages between the DHCP server and clients. When a client cannot use its link-local address and a well-known multicast address to locate a DHCP server on its network, it then needs a DHCP relay agent to send a message to a DHCP server that is not attached to the same network.
The DHCP relay agent can add the remote identification (remote-ID) option and the interface-ID option to the Relay-Forward DHCPv6 messages. The remote-ID option carries a user-defined string, such as the system name. The interface-ID option provides slot number, port information and the VLAN ID to the DHCPv6 server. The remote-ID option (if any) is stripped from the Relay-Reply messages before the relay agent sends the packets to the clients. The DHCP server copies the interface-ID option from the RelayForward message into the Relay-Reply message and sends it to the relay agent. The interface-ID should not change even after the relay agent restarts.
Pre fix De le g a tio n
Prefix delegation enables an IPv6 router to use the IPv6 prefix (network address) received from the ISP (or a connected uplink router) for its LAN. The Zyxel Device uses the received IPv6 prefix (for example, 2001:db2::/48) to generate its LAN IP address. Through sending Router Advertisements (RAs) regularly by multicast, the Zyxel Device passes the IPv6 prefix information to its LAN hosts. The hosts then can use the prefix to generate their IPv6 addresses.

NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide

Appendix B IPv6
IC MPv6
Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6 (ICMPv6 or ICMP for IPv6) is defined in RFC 4443. ICMPv6 has a preceding Next Header value of 58, which is different from the value used to identify ICMP for IPv4. ICMPv6 is an integral part of IPv6. IPv6 nodes use ICMPv6 to report errors encountered in packet processing and perform other diagnostic functions, such as "ping".
Ne ig hb o r Disc o ve ry Pro to c o l (NDP)
The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) is a protocol used to discover other IPv6 devices and track neighbor's reachability in a network. An IPv6 device uses the following ICMPv6 messages types:
· Neighbor solicitation: A request from a host to determine a neighbor's link-layer address (MAC address) and detect if the neighbor is still reachable. A neighbor being "reachable" means it responds to a neighbor solicitation message (from the host) with a neighbor advertisement message.
· Neighbor advertisement: A response from a node to announce its link-layer address. · Router solicitation: A request from a host to locate a router that can act as the default router and
forward packets. · Router advertisement: A response to a router solicitation or a periodical multicast advertisement from
a router to advertise its presence and other parameters.
IPv6 C a c he
An IPv6 host is required to have a neighbor cache, destination cache, prefix list and default router list. The Zyxel Device maintains and updates its IPv6 caches constantly using the information from response messages. In IPv6, the Zyxel Device configures a link-local address automatically, and then sends a neighbor solicitation message to check if the address is unique. If there is an address to be resolved or verified, the Zyxel Device also sends out a neighbor solicitation message. When the Zyxel Device receives a neighbor advertisement in response, it stores the neighbor's link-layer address in the neighbor cache. When the Zyxel Device uses a router solicitation message to query for a router and receives a router advertisement message, it adds the router's information to the neighbor cache, prefix list and destination cache. The Zyxel Device creates an entry in the default router list cache if the router can be used as a default router.
When the Zyxel Device needs to send a packet, it first consults the destination cache to determine the next hop. If there is no matching entry in the destination cache, the Zyxel Device uses the prefix list to determine whether the destination address is on-link and can be reached directly without passing through a router. If the address is onlink, the address is considered as the next hop. Otherwise, the Zyxel Device determines the next-hop from the default router list or routing table. Once the next hop IP address is known, the Zyxel Device looks into the neighbor cache to get the link-layer address and sends the packet when the neighbor is reachable. If the Zyxel Device cannot find an entry in the neighbor cache or the state for the neighbor is not reachable, it starts the address resolution process. This helps reduce the number of IPv6 solicitation and advertisement messages.
Multic a st Liste ne r Disc o ve ry
The Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol (defined in RFC 2710) is derived from IPv4's Internet Group Management Protocol version 2 (IGMPv2). MLD uses ICMPv6 message types, rather than IGMP message types. MLDv1 is equivalent to IGMPv2 and MLDv2 is equivalent to IGMPv3.
MLD allows an IPv6 switch or router to discover the presence of MLD listeners who wish to receive

Appendix B IPv6
multicast packets and the IP addresses of multicast groups the hosts want to join on its network.
MLD snooping and MLD proxy are analogous to IGMP snooping and IGMP proxy in IPv4.
MLD filtering controls which multicast groups a port can join.
MLD Me ssa g e s
A multicast router or switch periodically sends general queries to MLD hosts to update the multicast forwarding table. When an MLD host wants to join a multicast group, it sends an MLD Report message for that address.
An MLD Done message is equivalent to an IGMP Leave message. When an MLD host wants to leave a multicast group, it can send a Done message to the router or switch. The router or switch then sends a group-specific query to the port on which the Done message is received to determine if other devices connected to this port should remain in the group.
