System > System > Logging
The router can capture and log system activity including interface connection status, internal debugging messages, critical and emergency logs. It can either store the logs locally and/or send them to an external UDP syslog server for storage and archival purposes. The system log buffer uses First In First Out (FIFO) mechanism.
Note · All the logs are lost on Router reboot.
SYSLOG is an industry standard protocol/method for collecting and forwarding messages from devices to a server running a syslog daemon usually via UDP Port 514. The syslog server on a remote computer accepts the log messages and stores them in files or prints them. Logging to a central syslog server facility helps in the aggregation of associated logs and alerts and provides protected long term storage. This is useful for incident handling, routine troubleshooting, and historical analysis.

8: VPN

VPN
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a tunnel, carrying traffic of a private network from one endpoint system to another over a public network such as the Internet. The traffic of private network so carried over public network does not know about the existence of the intermediate hops between the two endpoints. Similarly, the intermediate hops are also not aware that they are carrying the network packets that are traversing the tunnel. The tunnel may optionally compress and/or encrypt the data, providing enhanced performance and some measure of security.
Note · The Lantronix E2xx routers support additional tunneling protocols. For L2TP, PPtP, or GRE
protocol configuration, please see Section 8.1.2 Interface Protocols.

8.1 IPSec (Internet Protocol Security)
VPN > IPSec
IP Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols designed for cryptographically secure communication at the IP layer (layer 3). The router uses IPSec standard IPSec protocol to protect traffic. The identity of communicating users is checked with the user authentication based on Pre-shared keys or X.509 certificates.
The IPSec VPN instance can be started or stopped from the Web UI or by sending an SMS AT+VPN command. See Figure 9.6-2 for command syntax.

8.2 OpenVPN
OpenVPN is an open-source software application that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections. It uses the OpenSSL library to provide encryption of both the data and control channels. OpenVPN can run over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) transports, multiplexing created SSL tunnels on a single TCP/UDP port. OpenVPN fully supports IPv6 as protocol of the virtual network inside a tunnel and the OpenVPN applications can also establish connections via IPv6. It has the ability to work through most proxy servers (including HTTP) and is good at working through Network address translation (NAT) and getting out through firewalls. The server configuration has the ability to "push" certain network configuration options to the clients. These include IP addresses, routing commands, and a few connection options.
E210 and E220 series routers support OpenVPN client, server, and pass through.
8.2.1 OpenVPN Instances
VPN > OpenVPN
The OpenVPN client will attach itself to the configured OpenVPN server over any available WAN, LAN, or Cellular network interface. If the auto-connect function is enabled, OpenVPN will not only connect over available WAN but also switch between WANs when one WAN fails-over to another and also auto start on every reboot. The OpenVPN client must be enabled to be operational.
To create an OpenVPN instance, use the template based configuration or upload your own OVPN configuration file. The E210 and E220 routers come with pre-defined client templates and server templates.

9.10 Keepalived
Services > Keepalived
The Keepalived service (Keepalived is a Linux daemon that provides frameworks for load balancing and high availability of the servers connected to the router) uses Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) to check the health of load balanced routers and elect a router on the network that will serve a particular IP.
In a typical configuration, VRRP groups two or more routers into a virtual router, where one router is the master (active) server and the other is the backup node. The master server has a higher priority than the backup server. The master server transmits multicast VRRP advertisement packets at regular intervals, and the backup servers listen for these advertisement packets. If the backup servers fail to receive three consecutive VRRP advertisements, the backup router with the highest priority becomes the new master router so that the system remains functional.
The configuration for the backup server will be similar to that of the master server, with the exception of the values for priority, state, and interface (depending on the system hardware configuration).

9.12.2 Serial Data Send Configuration
The Data Send configuration is used to select the protocol and serial operating mode settings. If the TCP protocol is selected, the router can operate in TCP server or TCP client mode. In TCP server mode, the router will listen on the local port for network communication from TCP clients on the LAN interface (type=internal) or the WAN interface (type=external). In TCP client mode, the serial device connects to a remote TCP server at a specified IP and port, or to a backup server, for the data transmission. The data from the serial port can be sent either via TCP or UDP using any of the available TCP interfaces.
The other protocol option is FTP, which allows the serial device to send a file to an FTP server. See Section 9.12.2.3 Data Send Configuration for FTP.

Table 10.1-2: Network Interface Protocols

The protocols should be assigned to interfaces as shown in Table 10.1-2 based on how the user wants the interfaces to work. The interface requires additional selection or configuration of settings such as default gateway, gateway metric, DHCP server, and firewall zone to name a few. These settings may be mandatory, optional, or not used by the interface; the interface configuration depends on both the protocol selected as well as the organization's requirements.
Please review the following before configuring the LAN, WAN, and WWAN interfaces.
· If any two interfaces in Table 10.1-2 have the same protocol (for example, Static Address is assigned to LAN and WAN interfaces), the settings for configuring the interface will be nearly the same. For this reason, the protocols are described below. Refer to Sections 10.1.3.1 to 10.1.3.6 for descriptions of the protocol settings.
· The LAN interface should use Static Address. On the LAN interface, the Gateway is not required and DHCP server is optional, It can be used if you want the router (DHCP server) to dynamically assign IP addresses to clients connecting to the LAN.

ePack User Manual for E210 and E220 Series Devices

142

10: Network

· WAN and WWAN interfaces should use either Static Address, DHCP client, or DHCPv6 client. WAN also supports using PPPoE protocol. On the WAN and WWAN interfaces with Static Address as the assigned protocol, gateway is required for external interface, but it is not used for internal use. On the WAN and WWAN interfaces, the DHCP server should be disabled ("Ignore interface" will be selected).
All the other protocols listed in Table 10.1-2 are supported after you add a virtual interface based on the requirement. For example, if an L2TP VPN is set up, a virtual interface with L2TP protocol should be used to configure the L2TP VPN connection. For descriptions on these protocols, see Section 10.1.8 Add Virtual Interface.

The physical or virtual interfaces can be set to Unmanaged, if no protocol is desired. This setting may be used to enumerate an interface for firewall purposes.

10.1.3.1 Static Address

10.1.5 LAN Interface
Network > Interface > LAN
This page allows you to configure the LAN interface with respect to the router model number. The LAN interface should use Static Address. Gateway is not required. DHCP server may be used to dynamically assign an IP address to clients connecting to the LAN. If DHCP server is disabled for the interface, all the LAN devices connected to the router should have a static LAN IP configured. DHCP Server The DHCP server maintains a database of available IP addresses and configuration information. When it receives a request from a client, the DHCP server determines the network to which the DHCP client is connected, and allocates an IP address or prefix appropriate for the client, and sends configuration information appropriate for that client. DHCP servers typically grant IP addresses to clients for a limited interval called a lease. DHCP clients are responsible for renewing their IP address before that interval has expired, and must stop using the address once the interval has expired, if they have not been able to renew it. DHCP is used for IPv4 and IPv6. While both versions serve the same purpose, the details of the protocol for IPv4 and IPv6 are sufficiently different that they should be considered separate protocols. The router acts as the DHCP server and assigns the IP Address to device(s) connected to the network.
Interface configuration settings are determined mainly by the protocol selection. For a description of the Static Address protocol settings, see Section 10.1.3.1.

Otherwise, the WAN and WAN6 interfaces provide similar functionality and are configured in a similar manner. The WAN or WAN6 interface will use either Static Address, DHCP client, DHCPv6 client, or PPPoE protocol. If you assign Static Address as the protocol, IPv4 gateway is required for external interface, but should not be used for internal use. DHCP server should be disabled. The interface configuration parameters will depend on the assigned protocol.

10.2 Wireless
Network > Wireless
The Wireless interface on the router can work in different modes:
· Master mode as a Wi-Fi access point ­ The router provides Internet to other host machines in its network over Wi-Fi. It can get Internet connection from WAN or cellular.
· Client mode as a Wi-Fi client ­ The router will act as a client to existing wireless networks. The router will accept the Internet access through wireless access provided by another service provider and then distribute the access to the machines connected to the router on its LAN interface.
· WDS access point and WDS client modes ­ Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows the interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows you to bridge two routers (as WDS access points) wirelessly to extend the Wi-Fi network. WDS client mode allows a router to connect to a WDS access point. WDS with WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPAPSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode encryption modes are supported.
· 802.11s mode ­ The IEEE 802.11s amendment for mesh networking to the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standard focuses on mechanisms for connecting wireless devices without having to set up infrastructure. The 802.11s mode allows interconnecting routers to implement a mesh network.
· Ad-hoc and Pseudo Ad-hoc (ahdemo) modes ­ Ad-hoc mode is used to allow two stations to communicate directly without an intermediary. Pseudo ad-hoc (ahdemo) mode is a variant of ad-hoc mode. Ad-hoc and pseudo ad-hoc modes were used in earlier implementations of mesh networks, but have been succeeded by 802.11s mesh networks.
· Monitor mode ­ this is a client mode setting in which the wireless interface will listen to all traffic, not just its own.
The router can act as master as well as client at the same time provided that the router's Wi-Fi client is connected to any AP.

10.4 DHCP and DNS
Network > DHCP and DNS
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that is used to configure network devices to communicate on an IP network. A DHCP client uses the DHCP protocol to acquire configuration information, such as an IP address, a default route, and one or more DNS server addresses from a DHCP server. The DHCP client then uses this information to configure its host. Once the configuration process is complete, the host is able to communicate on the network.
For more details about basic setup of DHCP server on the LAN side refer to Network > LAN > DHCP Server.
DHCP and DNS sub-sections allows you to configure the advanced options like custom DNS servers, custom lease files, advanced TFTP settings and MAC Address based IP Address allocation.

10.8 Firewall
Network > Firewall E210 and E220 routers follow a Zone Based firewall concept. Every interface of the E210 or E220 router, physical or virtual, needs to be assigned to a Firewall Zone, however one firewall zone can have multiple interfaces. By default, there are two zones, the LAN zone and WAN zone. You can create a new LAN or WAN zone either from the Firewall section or when you create an additional network interface. You can associate multiple interfaces to the Firewall Zones and define the rules of communication between them.
10.8.1 General Settings
Network > Firewall > General Settings
Concept of zone based Firewall A zone section groups one or more interfaces and serves as source or destination for forwarding, rules, and redirects. Masquerading (NAT) of outgoing traffic is controlled on a per zone basis. Note that masquerading is defined in the outgoing interface.
· INPUT rules for a zone describe what happens to traffic trying to reach the router itself through an interface in that zone.
· OUTPUT rules for a zone describe what happens to traffic originating from the router itself going through an interface in that zone.
· FORWARD rules for a zone describe what happens to traffic passing between different interfaces in that zone.
By default, there are 2 zones which are already created in the Router, LAN Zone and WAN Zone. All traffic from LAN to WAN has no restrictions but all incoming traffic on WAN side is blocked unless a port forwarding rule is set or unless a particular port is opened.
Drop vs Reject
DROP
· less information is exposed · less attack surface · client software may not cope well with it (hangs until connection times out) · may complicate network debugging (where was traffic dropped and why)
REJECT
· may expose information (like the ip at which traffic was actually blocked) · client software can recover faster from rejected connection attempts · network debugging easier (routing and firewall issues clearly distinguishable)

10.9 Load Balancing
Network > Load Balancing
Load balancing is a mechanism that enables balancing traffic between various links. It distributes traffic among various links, optimizing utilization of all the links to accelerate performance and cut operating costs. The order of Interface priority depends on the metric assigned to the interface.
10.9.1 How it works
Load balancing is determined by the load metric i.e. weight. Each link is assigned a relative weight and the router distributes traffic across links in proportion to the ratio of weights assigned to individual link. This weight determines how much traffic will pass through a particular link relative to the other links.
Administrator can set the metric weight and define how the traffic should be directed to providers to best utilize their bandwidth investments. Weight can be selected based on:
· Link capacity (for links with different bandwidth) · Link/Bandwidth cost (for links with varying cost)
Note · The default configuration of the load balancer is in Failover Mode with the highest priority
given to WAN, followed by WWAN and then followed by Cellular.
Concept of MWAN
Since E series have multiple sources of Internet, one or more sources of Internet could be used at the same time. Using one source of Internet and failing over to another one by defining priorities is called Failover. Once the source with a higher priority is online, the same will be used as a primary source of internet
Priority can be defined by setting the Metric. the lower the metric, the higher the priority.
When to failover and when to rollback is dependent on which interfaces are online and which ones are offline. Online and offline interface status is based on the PING responses to a particular server at a particular time interval. You can speed up the failover by sending PING packets in a shorter interval and you can add reliability by adding multiple server candidates.
Load Balancing is where two or more sources of Internet are used at the same time and the load which is essentially the connections is split between the multiple interfaces in the ratio of their weights assigned.
E Series provides a feature called WAN affinity where a particular source IP, Destination IP or a data type can be bound to a particular interface. For this, you need to set rules and apply the rules to a particular policy. However you need to first have appropriate members which correspond to physical interfaces in a particular policy.
In summary:
· Members correspond to individual interfaces where you can set metric and weight · Policy consists of a member or group of members · Rules are to be applied to a policy
