IP Address Settings and Computer Settings In order to install the DFL-600 you will need to check your computer’s settings and the values from your ISP.
Introduction and Overview The DFL-600 Firewall/VPN Router creates two separate networks on the LAN side of your network − by default, a 192.168.0.0 subnet and a 192.168.1.0 subnet (both with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). The DFL600 routes packets between these two subnets and the Internet (or the network connected to the DFL-600’s WAN port). The network address information of the WAN network is usually provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a network administrator. The 192.168.0.
The DMZ port is used to allow computers and devices connected to this port to have more direct access to the Internet. This is useful for certain applications that may conflict with the firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT) features of the DFL-600. Computers and devices connected to the DMZ port will not have the level of protection that the LAN ports can provide, however.
address, subnet mask, default gateway address, and primary and secondary DNS addresses. This information will be provided by your ISP. Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) − this protocol requires the use of a Username and Password to gain access to the network. In addition, you can specify a Connect on Demand connection that will connect to the Internet only when a computer or device on your LAN makes a request, or when the DFL-600 is rebooted.
Using the Configuration Utility Launch your web browser and type the device IP address (https:// 192.168.0.1) in the browser’s address box. This is the default IP address of your DFL-600. Press Enter. The following dialog-box will appear to prompt you to enter the DFL-600’s default User Name and Password. The DFL-600’s default User Name is admin and the default Password is also admin − all lower case. Click OK to open the Home menu.
The Setup Wizard will guide you the most basic setup tasks, such as setting an administrative password, selecting the type of WAN connection you have, entering your computer’s host name (if required by your ISP), saving the configuration and restarting the router. All other setup tasks can be accomplished using the configuration utility from your web browser. To use the Setup Wizard, click on the Run Setup Wizard link. This will start the Setup Wizard.
Setup Wizard The Setup Wizard will guide you through the most basic setup tasks for the DFL-600. All other configuration tasks can be accomplished through the web-based manager. The Home menu contains a Run Setup Wizard link. Click on this button to run the Setup Wizard. Click Next to continue.
Enter a password in the Password field, and again in the Verify Password field. This will become the logon password for the DFL-600. This password is case-sensitive, so remember to use capital letters when logging on to the DFL-600’s web-based manager − if you enter a password with capital letters here. The user name, admin, will not be changed here. Note: If you choose to input a password, please remember it.
This menu allows you to select the type of connection your ISP provides. Many ISPs use the PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) for DSL connections, while many Cable ISPs use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP assigns an IP address for your Internet connection each time you log on (and is therefore, a dynamic IP address). DHCP is referred to as Dynamic IP address on the DFL-600.
Some ISPs require you to use an assigned host name for your Internet connection. If your ISP requires this, you can enter the assigned host name in the Host Name field. If you selected Static IP Address on the Select Internet Connection Type (WAN) wizard screen above, the following screen will open: This screen will allow you to enter the static IP address information, if your ISP has assigned a static IP address to your Internet account. Your ISP must provide this information.
This screen will allow you to enter the PPPoE information, if your ISP uses the PPPoE protocol for your Internet account. Your ISP must provide this information. Click Next to continue.
You have completed the basic setup Wizard. The configuration now needs to be entered into the DFL-600’s non-volatile RAM. Clicking Restart will save the configuration to non-volatile RAM and restart the router.
Home The Home menu contains links to all of the setup menus for the DFL-600.
WAN Settings The WAN Settings menu allows you to view the current configuration for your DFL-600, and to choose the protocol by which your DFL-600 will receive its WAN network settings. The settings listed under WAN Settings are the network settings currently in use by the DFL-600. The fields where you will enter the WAN Settings will change depending upon the choice you make in the IP Settings Mode dropdown menu. These settings are described below.
IP Settings Mode This drop-down menu determines how the DFL600 will obtain its IP address information. The fields where you will enter the information will change, as appropriate, to reflect the mode you have selected. The page shown above is in Dynamic mode. Dynamic allows the DFL-600 to get its IP address information from your ISP using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Use this setting if your ISP instructs you to use DHCP or to automatically obtain an IP address.
Default Gateway Primary DNS Server Secondary DNS Server This is the IP address of a device at your ISP’s office where packets destined for the Internet − from your home network − are sent, before being forwarded to their final destination. For the DFL-600, the Default Gateway address is provided by your ISP. For computers on your home network, their Default Gateway is the IP address of your DFL-600.
Static IP Address − If your ISP has assigned you an IP address that will never change, choose this option.
PPPoE − If your ISP uses Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), choose this option. When this option is chosen, the following fields appear to allow you to enter the network address information: Connect on Demand − allows the PPPoE WAN connection to be active only when a computer on your LAN makes a connection request. This is similar to the way a dial-up modem initiates a connection.
LAN Settings The LAN Settings allows you to view the current IP address and subnet mask assigned to the DFL-600. It also allows you to change these settings. If it is necessary to change the IP Address or Subnet Mask assigned to the DFL-600, enter the new values in the appropriate fields, and press Apply to make the changes current.
gateway setting for computers on the LAN side will be the DFL-600’s IP address − in this case, 192.168.0.1. Saving all of this information to the DFL-600’s flash RAM and restarting the router will make this IP addressing scheme current. When you enable DHCP (in Windows, “obtain an IP address automatically”) and restart the computers connected to the LAN side of the DFL-600, they will automatically be assigned IP addresses from the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.100.
DHCP Settings DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a method of automatically assigning IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateway and DNS server IP address to computers on the LAN side of the DFL-600. The DFL-600 can be a DHCP server for your LAN, assigning IP addresses, etc. to computers on your network from a range of addresses you specify below. DHCP Server Status Starting IP Address This allows you to Enable or Disable the DHCP Server feature on the DFL-600. The default is Enabled.
Ending IP Address Lease Time Auto Configuration IP addresses can range from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, but in the DFL-600’s default IP addressing scheme, the range is from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255. Please note that the addresses ending in 0 and 255 are reserved for other uses, so the effective IP address range is 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254. The DFL-600’s default IP address is 192.168.0.1. This is the last IP address in a range that the DFL-600 will assign to a computer on your network.
Domain Name Primary DNS Server Secondary DNS Server The DFL-600 can provide a domain name to computers on your network. This domain name suffix can be provided automatically by your ISP, or you can enter it statically here. This suffix will then be automatically added to URL requests for access to your ISP’s servers. This is the IP address of a server on the Internet that provides the service of changing text URLs into IP address for sites on the Internet.
NAT Network Address Translation Note: NAT is automatically applied between the WAN and the LAN sides of the DFL-600. It does not require any user configuration. Network Address Translation (NAT) is a routing protocol that allows your network to become a private network that is isolated from, yet connected to the Internet.
DMZ NAT and the firewall features of your DFL-600 may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing or playing Internet video games. For these applications, a bypass can be set up using the DMZ port and a corresponding DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP address is “visible” to the Internet (or WAN) and does not benefit from the full protection of the NAT function.
DMZ Settings The DMZ Settings screen allows you to Enable and Disable the DMZ port on the DFL-600 and to specify the IP address and Subnet Mask that the DMZ port will use. The default DMZ IP address is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. IP Address Subnet Mask This is the IP address assigned to the DMZ port, and will be assigned to a PC that you connect to this port. You can assign any IP address to the DFL-600’s DMZ port that is within the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.
servers to connections to the WAN or Internet. The IP address must be from the same range as the IP address of the DMZ port. The default DMZ IP address is 192.168.1.1, so DMZ Servers must be from the IP address range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Global IP address This is the IP address assigned to the WAN side of the DFL-600 by your ISP.
Time Settings The DFL-600 can be set to obtain and distribute the correct time to computers on your LAN using the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). Click on the Time button to open the following page: System Date Time Time Zone Time Set Type Displays the current system date and time. This drop-down menu allows you to select the time zone in which your DFL-600 is located. This drop-down menu allows you to specify the method the DFL-600 will use to obtain the date and time.
Set Type IP address Domain Name YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS This drop-down menu allows you to select either the IP address of an SNTP server, or the Domain Name (URL) of an SNTP server that the DFL600 will contact to obtain the correct date and time. Enter the IP address of an SNTP server here. Enter the Domain Name (URL) of an SNTP server here. These fields allow you to manually enter the date using a year-month-day format. These fields allow you to manually enter the time using an hour: minute: second format.
Clicking the Enable click box, opposite the User Control table entry, will open the rest of the User Management page, including the Bandwidth control and Management Type table entries.
User Control Logout Timer Bandwidth Management Type This allows you to enable or disable the authentication of users on the LAN side of the DFL-600, without changing the configuration settings. This is useful when you need to troubleshoot Internet access problems for PCs on your LAN. You can enter a maximum amount of time that users are allowed to be “logged in”. When a user is logged in for a period of time longer than that specified here, they must log in again.
Clicking the Add Users link will open the following page: Add Users User name Password This allows you to add User names and Passwords for users on your LAN. In the Local mode, the DFL-600 authenticates users based upon the User name and Password entered here. Enter a User name here. Enter a Password corresponding to the User name entered above. POP3 The Post Office Protocol, version 3 (POP3) is used to access and retrieve email from a mailbox on a server that is usually located at your ISP’s facility.
POP3 Server IP Server Port The Post Office Protocol, version 3. This is used to view and retrieve e-mail from a POP3 server on the WAN. Enter the IP address of your POP3 server here. Your ISP should provide you with this address. This is the TCP port number that the POP3 server will use to communicate with PCs on your LAN. TCP port 110 is the ‘well known’ or default port used for the POP3 protocol.
If you have some PCs (or other network devices) that do not require RADIUS user authentication to access the WAN (Internet), you can enable 802.1x, and then enter the IP Address and IP (subnet) Mask of these devices under the Edit link (which will appear when you enable 802.1x). PCs and network devices that have their IP Address and IP (subnet) Mask entered on the 802.
RADIUS 802.1X Server IP Authentication Port Accounting Port The Remote Access Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is one of the most common protocols used to carry authorization, authentication, and configuration information between a RADIUS server on the WAN and PCs on your LAN. Choosing RADIUS will allow the DFL-600 to connect PCs on your LAN to a RADIUS server on the WAN. 802.1x is a standard for passing the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) packets over a LAN.
Secret Key Accounting Service Authentication Method RADIUS server will use to connect to PCs on your LAN for the RADIUS accounting function. The default port number for accounting is 1813. Enter the shared key used between PCs on your LAN and the RADIUS server. Use the drop-down menu to enable or disable the RADIUS accounting service. Use the drop-down menu to enable or disable the RADIUS accounting service. Clicking the 802.1x Enable click-box, and then Edit link will open the following page: 802.
Clicking on the Edit link (which appears when you enable 802.1x) will open the 802.1x Device Configuration page, as shown below. If you have PCs on your LAN that do not require RADIUS user authentication to access the Internet (or other networks through your ISP), you can use Enable 802.1x, and then click the Edit link. This will allow you to enter the IP Address and IP (subnet) Mask of PCs on your LAN that need to bypass the RADIUS user authentication.
802.1X 802.1x is a standard for passing the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over a LAN. You should enable this only if there are 802.1x devices between the DFL-600 and the RADIUS server on the WAN. Clicking on the Edit link (which appears when you enable 802.1x) will open the 802.1x Device Configuration page, as shown below. Use this table to enter the IP Address and IP Mask The DFL-600 supports only 802.1X pass through. This means that the DFL-600 will forward 802.
Clicking the LDAP click box will open the following page: LDAP Server IP Server Port Base DN Enter the IP address of your LDAP server here. Your ISP should provide you with this address. This is the TCP port number that the LDAP server will use to communicate with PCs on your LAN. Port 389 is the ‘well known’ or default port used for LDAP, while Secure LDAP uses port 636. This is the Distinguished Name used for LDAP.
Advanced Settings NAT Network Address Translation Network Address Translation (NAT) is a routing protocol that allows your network to become a private network that is isolated from, yet connected to the Internet. It does this by changing the IP address of packets from a global IP address − assigned by your ISP − usable on the Internet to a local IP address − assigned by you − usable on your private network (but not on the Internet.
Private IP Transport Type This is the IP address of the server on your LAN that will provide the service to remote users. You can select the transport protocol (TCP or UDP) that the application on the virtual server will use for its connections. The choice of this protocol is dependent on the application that is providing the service. If you do not know which protocol to choose, check your application’s documentation.
Application Gateway (ALG) Some applications require multiple TCP or UDP ports to function properly. Applications such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony are some examples of applications that often require multiple connections. These applications often conflict with NAT, and therefore require special handling. The Special Applications page allows you to configure your DFL-600 to allow computers on your LAN to access servers on the WAN that require multiple TCP or UDP connections.
Trigger Type Max Activity Interval Session Chained Address Replacement Replacement Format Allow sessions initiated from/to 3rd host Popular Applications port is used, enter the same port number in both the starting and ending port number fields. This is the protocol (TCP or UDP) that the application uses to make the connection. This is the maximum interval, in milliseconds, between the triggering of a protocol session and the protocol’s dynamic session.
down menu. Selecting one of the listed applications is the equivalent of entering the correct settings in the fields above for the specific application. For example, the Netmeeting application requires a Trigger Port Range of 1720 – 1720, a Trigger Type of TCP, and so on. The correct settings for the applications listed in this drop-down menu have been entered into the DFL-600’s firmware, for your convenience.
Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address This is the corresponding subnet mask for the remote network. This is the IP address of the gateway on the remote network that will provide the connection between your DFL-600 and servers on the remote network. Dynamic Routing Your DFL-600 can automatically discover routes to destinations on both your LAN and the WAN (Internet). You can choose either RIP1, RIP2 or None.
Rip Version RIP Enabled Interface Network Address Subnet Mask Interface Name Multicast Support Update Timer Timeout Timer Garbage Collection Timer Your DFL-600 can automatically discover routes to destinations on both your LAN and the WAN (Internet). You can choose either RIP1, RIP2 or None. RIP2 (Routing Information Protocol version 2) adds support for variable-length subnet masks, and is generally the best choice.
Policy (Firewall Settings) Policy Rules The DFL-600 allows you to establish a period of time that a policy rule will be active or enforced. In addition, you can enable or disable a policy rule without changing that rule’s configuration. This is useful when you need to troubleshoot access problems for a PC on your LAN. The schedule for a policy rule is specified on the Policy Rules page, as shown below. Enter a name for the policy rule you want to configure in the Policy Name field.
Next, select a period of time for the policy to be active. Always instructs the router to enforce a policy any time that policy is enabled. One Time instructs the router to enforce the policy only during the current session − when the DFL-600 is restarted, a One Time policy will no longer be enforced. One Week instructs the router to enforce the policy for the period of time between the Start Time and the End Time, specified using the dropdown menus.
The Port Filter allows you to specify transport protocols and TCP/UDP port ranges that the DFL-600 will allow computers on the WAN side to use to make connections to PCs on the LAN side. You can choose to block Java programs from being downloaded from the Internet and executed by PCs on your LAN by clicking the Block Java Enabled click-box and then the Apply button. Blocking Java programs will disable certain functions on many web-sites, and is equivalent to disabling Java in many web browsers.
