PAGE 58
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 OpenDNS network. In order for Custom settings to work you need to login to DNS-O-MATIC using your OpenDNS credentials and "Add A Service" for the network specified above. Enable OpenDNS ISP Filter Bypass Algorithm: It is possible that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses the port that OpenDNS is configured to access, port 53, which will prevent OpenDNS filtering.
PAGE 59
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.2 DHCP Server DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The built-in DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to the computers and other devices on each local area network (LAN). In this section you can view a list of assigned IP addresses and reserve IP addresses for particular devices. Active Leases: A list of devices that have been provided DHCP leases. The DHCP server automatically assigns these leases.
PAGE 60
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.3 DNS DNS, or Domain Name System, is a naming system that translates between domain names (www.cradlepoint.com, for example) and Internet IP addresses (206.207.82.197). A DNS server acts as an Internet phone book, translating between names that make sense to people and the more complex numerical identifiers.
PAGE 61
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.3.2 Dynamic DNS Configuration The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased (www.yourname.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. When you use a Dynamic DNS service provider, you can enter your host name to connect to your server, no matter what your IP address is.
PAGE 62
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.3.3 Advanced Dynamic DNS Settings Update period (hours). (Default: 576) The time between periodic updates to the Dynamic DNS, if your dynamic IP address has not changed. The timeout period is entered in hours so valid values are from 1 to 8760. Override External IP. The external IP is usually configured automatically during connection.
PAGE 63
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.4 Firewall The router automatically provides a firewall. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the router does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to cyber attackers. However, some network applications cannot run with a tight firewall. Those applications need to selectively open ports in the firewall to function correctly.
PAGE 64
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1    Local Port(s): The port number(s) that corresponds to the service (Web server, FTP, etc) on a local computer or device. For example, you might input ―80‖ in the Local Port(s) field to open a port for a Web server on a computer within your network. The Internet Port(s) field could then also be 80, or you could choose another port number that will be used across the Internet to access your Web server.
PAGE 65
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.4.2 IP Filter Rules (Advanced) An "Incoming" IP filter rule restricts remote access to computers on your local network. "Outgoing" filter rules prevent computers on your local network from initiating communication to the address range specified in the rule. This feature is especially useful when combined with port forwarding and/or DMZ to restrict remote access to a specified host or network range.
PAGE 66
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 If you leave these values blank, then all IP addresses and ports will be included. IP Source and IP Destination options can be used to differentiate between the directions that packets go. You could permit packets to come from particular IP addresses but then not allow packets to return to those addresses. Example of an IP Filter Rule: Suppose you have opened a port in your firewall in order to run a server.
PAGE 67
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.4.3 DMZ: DeMilitarized Zone (Advanced) A DMZ host is effectively not firewalled in the sense that any computer on the Internet may attempt to remotely access network services at the DMZ IP address. Typical uses involve running a public Web server or sharing files. Input the IP Address of a single device in your network to create a DeMilitarized Zone for that device.
PAGE 68
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.4.5 Remote Administration Access Control (Advanced) Enable Remote Administration Access Control: Selecting this option allows you to make remote administration tools available to only the specified IP addresses. Access from all other IP addresses will be blocked. This option only filters IP addresses: you must enable Remote Management separately (System Settings → Administration).
PAGE 69
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.1 MAC Filter / Logging A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier for a computer or other device. This page allows you to manage clients by MAC address. You can filter clients by MAC addresses and/or keep a log of devices connected to your router. 6.1.1 Filter Configuration The MAC Filter allows you to create a list of devices that have either exclusive access (whitelist) or no access (blacklist) to your wireless LAN.
PAGE 70
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.1.2 MAC Logging Configuration Enable MAC Logging: Enabling MAC Logging will cause the router to log MAC addresses that are connected to the router. MAC addresses that you do not want to have logged (addresses that you expect to be connected) should be added to the ―Ignored MAC Addresses‖ list. You can configure the router to send an alert if a connected device has a MAC address that the router doesn‘t recognize.
PAGE 71
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.2 Routing Add a new static route to the IP routing table or edit/remove an existing route. Static routes are unnecessary for most users. They are typically only used in networks with more than one layer, such as when there is a network within a network so that packet destinations are hidden behind an additional router. Adding a static route is a way of telling the router about an additional step that packets will need to take to reach their destination.
PAGE 72
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 6.3 WiFi / Local Networks This section is used to configure the settings for wireless networks created by your router. Note that changes made in this section may also need to be duplicated on wireless devices that you want to connect to your wireless network. For example, if you change a LAN‘s IP address, devices within that network will lose connection. They will have to reconnect to the network.

Each side of the tunnel must use both a Local Identity and a Remote Identity. These must match the identities on the other side: The Local Identity must match the Remote Identity on the other side of the tunnel, and vice versa.
PAGE 134
CRADLEPOINT IBR600 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 7.5 WiFi as WAN / Bridge WiFi as WAN uses another WiFi network as its Internet source and then rebroadcasts its own local network. For example, the IBR600 can create a private LAN using the public WiFi from a hotel as its WAN. WiFi Bridge functions similarly, but it rebroadcasts the original network. In other words, the router passes on the same settings and addresses already set up by the original NAT.
PAGE 135
CRADLEPOINT IBR600 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.6.1 7.5.1 WiFi Bridge When in WiFi Bridge mode with a configured profile, a WiFi Bridge device will be added to the local network interfaces, providing a way to bridge two LANs over a WiFi connection.
