3.2 LAN Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of subnets regulated and ruled by router. The design of network structure is related to what type of public IP addresses coming from your ISP. 3.2.1 Basics of LAN The most generic function of Vigor router is NAT. It creates a private subnet of your own. As mentioned previously, the router will talk to other public hosts on the Internet by using public IP address and talking to local hosts by using its private IP address.
What is Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Vigor router will exchange routing information with neighboring routers using the RIP to accomplish IP routing. This allows users to change the information of the router such as IP address and the routers will automatically inform for each other. What is Static Route When you have several subnets in your LAN, sometimes a more effective and quicker way for connection is the Static routes function rather than other method.
3.2.2 General Setup This page provides you the general settings for LAN. Click LAN to open the LAN settings page and choose General Setup. 34 1st IP Address Type in private IP address for connecting to a local private network (Default: 192.168.1.1). 1st Subnet Mask Type in an address code that determines the size of the network. (Default: 255.255.255.0/ 24) For IP Routing Usage Click Enable to invoke this function. The default setting is Disable.
Start IP Address: Enter a value of the IP address pool for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the 2nd IP address of your router is 220.135.240.1, the starting IP address must be 220.135.240.2 or greater, but smaller than 220.135.240.254. IP Pool Counts: Enter the number of IP addresses in the pool. The maximum is 10. For example, if you type 3 and the 2nd IP address of your router is 220.135.240.1, the range of IP address by the DHCP server will be from 220.135.240.2 to 220.135.240.
DHCP Server IP Address for Relay Agent - Set the IP address of the DHCP server you are going to use so the Relay Agent can help to forward the DHCP request to the DHCP server. DNS Server Configuration DNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet host must have a unique IP address, also they may have a human-friendly, easy to remember name such as www.yahoo.com. The DNS server converts the user-friendly name into its equivalent IP address.
Destination Address Displays the destination address of the static route. Status Displays the status of the static route. Viewing Routing Table Displays the routing table for your reference. Add Static Routes to Private and Public Networks Here is an example of setting Static Route in Main Router so that user A and B locating in different subnet can talk to each other via the router.
is that those hosts on the internal private subnets (ex. 192.168.10.0/24) can access the Internet via the router, and continuously exchange of IP routing information with different subnets. 2. Click the LAN - Static Route and click on the Index Number 1. Check the Enable box. Please add a static route as shown below, which regulates all packets destined to 192.168.10.0 will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2. Click OK. 3. Return to Static Route Setup page.
2. Select Empty/Clear from the drop-down menu, and then click the OK button to delete the route. Disable Static Route 1. Click the Index Number that you want to disable from the Static Route Configuration page. 2. Select Inactive/Disable from the drop-down menu, and then click the OK button to disable the route. 3.3 NAT Usually, the router serves as an NAT (Network Address Translation) router. NAT is a mechanism that one or more private IP addresses can be mapped into a single public one.
3.3.1 Port Redirection Port Redirection is usually set up for server related service inside the local network (LAN), such as web servers, FTP servers, E-mail servers etc. Most of the case, you need a public IP address for each server and this public IP address/domain name are recognized by all users.
Mode Two options are provided here for you to choose. To set a range for the specific service, select Range. Service Name Enter the description of the specific network service. Protocol Select the transport layer protocol (TCP or UDP). Public Port Specify which port can be redirected to the specified Private IP and Port of the internal host. If you choose Range as the port redirection mode, you will see two boxes on this field. Simply type the required number on the first box.
3.3.2 DMZ Host As mentioned above, Port Redirection can redirect incoming TCP/UDP or other traffic on particular ports to the specific private IP address/port of host in the LAN. However, other IP protocols, for example Protocols 50 (ESP) and 51 (AH), do not travel on a fixed port. Vigor router provides a facility DMZ Host that maps ALL unsolicited data on any protocol to a single host in the LAN.
The inherent security properties of NAT are somewhat bypassed if you set up DMZ host. We suggest you to add additional filter rules or a secondary firewall. Click DMZ Host to open the following page: If you previously have set up WAN Alias in Internet Access>>PPPoE/PPPoA or Internet Access>>MPoA, you will find them in Aux. WAN IP list for your selection. Enable Check to enable the DMZ Host function. Private IP Enter the private IP address of the DMZ host, or click Choose PC to select one.
When you have selected one private IP from the above dialog, the IP address will be shown on the following screen. Click OK to save the setting. 3.3.3 Open Ports Open Ports allows you to open a range of ports for the traffic of special applications. Common application of Open Ports includes P2P application (e.g., BT, KaZaA, Gnutella, WinMX, eMule and others), Internet Camera etc. Ensure that you keep the application involved up-to-date to avoid falling victim to any security exploits.
WAN Interface Display the WAN interface for the entry. Local IP Address Display the private IP address of the local host offering the service. Status Display the state for the corresponding entry. X or V is to represent the Inactive or Active state. To add or edit port settings, click one index number on the page. The index entry setup page will pop up. In each index entry, you can specify 10 port ranges for diverse services. Enable Open Ports Check to enable this entry.
3.4 Firewall 3.4.1 Basics for Firewall While the broadband users demand more bandwidth for multimedia, interactive applications, or distance learning, security has been always the most concerned. The firewall of the Vigor router helps to protect your local network against attack from unauthorized outsiders. It also restricts users in the local network from accessing the Internet. Furthermore, it can filter out specific packets that trigger the router to build an unwanted outgoing connection.
Depending on whether there is an existing Internet connection, or in other words “the WAN link status is up or down”, the IP filter architecture categorizes traffic into two: Call Filter and Data Filter. z Call Filter - When there is no existing Internet connection, Call Filter is applied to all traffic, all of which should be outgoing. It will check packets according to the filter rules. If legal, the packet will pass.
Content Security Management (CSM) As the popularity of all kinds of instant messenger application arises, communication cannot become much easier. Nevertheless, while some industry may leverage this as a great tool to connect with their customers, some industry may take reserve attitude in order to reduce employee misusage during office hour or prevent unknown security leak.
Web Filtering We all know that the content on the Internet just like other types of media may be inappropriate sometimes. As a responsible parent or employer, you should protect those in your trust against the hazards. With Web filtering service of the Vigor router, you can protect your business from common primary threats, such as productivity, legal liability, network and security threats. For parents, you can protect your children from viewing adult websites or chat rooms.
Call Filter Check Enable to activate the Call Filter function. Assign a start filter set for the Call Filter. Data Filter Check Enable to activate the Data Filter function. Assign a start filter set for the Data Filter. Log Flag For troubleshooting needs you can specify the filter log here. None - The log function is not activated. Block - All blocked packets will be logged. Pass - All passed packets will be logged. No Match - The log function will record all packets that are not matched.

set in that web page. 3.6.3 Quality of Service Deploying QoS (Quality of Service) management to guarantee that all applications receive the service levels required and sufficient bandwidth to meet performance expectations is indeed one important aspect of modern enterprise network. One reason for QoS is that numerous TCP-based applications tend to continually increase their transmission rate and consume all available bandwidth, which is called TCP slow start.
However, each node may take different attitude toward packets with high priority marking since it may bind with the business deal of SLA among different DS domain owners. It’s not easy to achieve deterministic and consistent high-priority QoS traffic throughout the whole network with merely Vigor router’s effort. In the Bandwidth Management menu, click Quality of Service to open the web page. This page displays the QoS settings result of the WAN interface.

3.11 Wireless LAN This function is used for G models only. 3.11.1 Basic Concepts Over recent years, the market for wireless communications has enjoyed tremendous growth. Wireless technology now reaches or is capable of reaching virtually every location on the surface of the earth. Hundreds of millions of people exchange information every day via wireless communication products. The Vigor G model, a.k.a. Vigor wireless router, is designed for maximum flexibility and efficiency of a small office/home.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys. WPA(Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK), and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.
Example 3 Separate the Wireless and the Wired LAN- WLAN Isolation enables you to isolate your wireless LAN from wired LAN for either quarantine or limit access reasons. To isolate means neither of the parties can access each other. To elaborate an example for business use, you may set up a wireless LAN for visitors only so they can connect to Internet without hassle of the confidential information leakage.
