CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the ADSL BarricadeTM g, hereafter referred to as the “Barricade”. We are proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf the Internet in the most secure way, this router provides a convenient and powerful solution. About the Barricade The Barricade provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account.
INTRODUCTION • Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion detection, and NAT • NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account, and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet services such as web, FTP, e-mail, and Telnet) • VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP) • User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications requiring multiple connections • Easy setup through a web browser on any operating s
APPLICATIONS • Shared IP Address The Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the web at the same time. • Virtual Server If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Barricade to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP address.
INTRODUCTION • Virtual Private Network (VPN) The Barricade supports three of the most commonly used VPN protocols — PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure connection to their corporate network. If your service provider supports VPNs, then these protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network).

ADVANCED SETUP Address Mapping Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. This also hides the internal network for increased privacy and security. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP into the “from” field.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Virtual Server If you configure the Barricade as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Barricade redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).
ADVANCED SETUP Note: The WAN interface should have a fixed IP address to best utilize this function. See “ATM Interface” on page 4-24 for using the same domain name even though your IP address changes each time you log into the ISP. Special Application Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video-conferencing, and Internet telephony. These applications may not work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE NAT Mapping Table This page displays the current NAPT (Network Address Port Translation) address mappings. NAT Mapping Table displays the current NAPT address mappings. The NAT address mappings are listed 20 lines per page, click the control buttons to move forwards and backwards. As the NAT mapping is dynamic, a Refresh button is provided to refresh the NAT Mapping Table with the mots updated values. The content of the NAT Mapping Table is described as follows.
ADVANCED SETUP ROUTING These pages define routing related parameters, including static routes and RIP (Routing Information Protocol) parameters. Static Route Parameter Description Index Check the box of the route you wish to delete or modify. Network Address Enter the IP address of the remote computer for which to set a static route. Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask of the remote network for which to set a static route. Gateway Enter the WAN IP address of the gateway to the remote network.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE RIP Parameter Description General RIP Parameters RIP mode Globally enables or disables RIP. Auto summary If Auto summary is disabled, then RIP packets will include sub-network information from all subnetworks connected to the router. If enabled, this sub-network information will be summarized to one piece of information covering all subnetworks. Table of current Interface RIP parameter Interface Operation Mode The WAN interface to be configured.
ADVANCED SETUP Parameter Poison Reverse Authentication Required Authentication Code Description A method for preventing loops that would cause endless retransmission of data traffic. • None: No authentication. • Password: A password authentication key is included in the packet. If this does not match what is expected, the packet will be discarded. This method provides very little security as it is possible to learn the authentication key by watching RIP packets.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Routing Table Parameter Description Flags Indicates the route status: C = Direct connection on the same subnet. S = Static route. R = RIP (Routing Information Protocol) assigned route. I = ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Redirect route. Network Address Destination IP address. Netmask The subnetwork associated with the destination. This is a template that identifies the address bits in the destination address used for routing to specific subnets.
ADVANCED SETUP Parameter Description Interface The local interface through which the next hop of this route is reached. Metric When a router receives a routing update that contains a new or changed destination network entry, the router adds 1 to the metric value indicated in the update and enters the network in the routing table.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE FIREWALL The Barricade’s firewall inspects packets at the application layer, maintains TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent certain types of network attacks. Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called Denial-ofService (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet.
ADVANCED SETUP Access Control Access Control allows users to define the outgoing traffic permitted or not-permitted through the WAN interface. The default is to permit all outgoing traffic.

ADVANCED SETUP MAC Filter The Barricade can also limit the access of hosts within the local area network (LAN). The MAC Filtering Table allows the Barricade to enter up to 32 MAC addresses that are not allowed access to the WAN port. Click Yes to enable, or No to disable this function. Enter the MAC address in the space provided.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE URL Blocking The Barricade allows the user to block access to web sites from a particular PC by entering either a full URL address or just a keyword. This feature can be used to protect children from accessing violent or pornographic web sites. You can define up to 30 sites here.
ADVANCED SETUP Schedule Rule You may filter Internet access for local clients based on rules. Each access control rule may be activated at a scheduled time. Define the schedule on the Schedule Rule page, and apply the rule on the Access Control page.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Follow these steps to add a schedule rule: 1. Click “Add Schedule Rule”. 2. Define the appropriate settings for a schedule rule. 3. Click “OK” and then click “SAVE SETTINGS” to save your settings.
ADVANCED SETUP Intrusion Detection • Intrusion Detection Feature Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS Firewall Protection (Default: Enabled) — The Intrusion Detection Feature of the Barricade limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked except for those types marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE • Stateful Packet Inspection This is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with sources that are known and trusted from previous interactions.

CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE • When hackers attempt to enter your network, we can alert you by e-mail Enter your email address. Specify your SMTP and POP3 servers, user name, and password. • Connection Policy Enter the appropriate values for TCP/UDP sessions as described in the following table. Parameter Defaults Description Fragmentation half-open wait 10 sec Configures the number of seconds that a packet state structure remains active.
ADVANCED SETUP • DoS Detect Criteria Set up DoS and port scan criteria in the spaces provided (as shown below). Parameter Defaults Description Total incomplete TCP/UDP sessions HIGH 300 sessions Defines the rate of new unestablished sessions that will cause the software to start deleting half-open sessions. Total incomplete TCP/UDP sessions LOW 250 sessions Defines the rate of new unestablished sessions that will cause the software to stop deleting halfopen sessions.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE DMZ If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted twoway Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host on this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.
ADVANCED SETUP SNMP Use the SNMP configuration screen to display and modify parameters for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Community A computer attached to the network, called a Network Management Station (NMS), can be used to access this information. Access rights to the agent are controlled by community strings. To communicate with the Barricade, the NMS must first submit a valid community string for authentication.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Trap Specify the IP address of the NMS to notify when a significant event is detected by the agent. When a trap condition occurs, the SNMP agent sends an SNMP trap message to any NMS specified as a trap receiver. Parameter Description IP Address Traps are sent to this address when errors or specific events occur on the network. Community A community string (password) specified for trap management.
ADVANCED SETUP UPnP Click Enable to turn on the Universal Plug and Play function of the Barricade.
