Due to its inherent support for networking, Ethernet will be your
natural choice for creating a small LAN.
The (optional) ATMF25.6 port provides excellent protocol
transparency and native ATM application support.
The dual port STPro model is designed for the concurrent use of
both Ethernet and ATMF25.6 ports. Networking configurations
remain equally valid if the ports are used simultaneously.
There is no performance penalty on this simultaneous use except
for the sharing of the upstream and downstream DSL bandwidth.

5.1 Supported Packet Services
What is a packet
service ?
Six packet services
Multiprotocol
Packet services are the core functions of the STPro. They provide
that frames or packets get forwarded from the LAN side towards
the DSL line and vice versa.
Transparent Bridging
Bridged PPPoE
PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying
PPP & IP Routing
Classical IP & IP Routing
ATM cell switching (*).
(*) Requires the optional ATMF25.6 port.
All examples in this User's Guide are based on the Internet
Protocol (IP) suite.
However, the STPro DSL router is a true multiprotocol device: it
can easily handle most other popular protocol suites
Examples in this User's
Guide

This User's Guide presents typical configurations, but as an
experienced user you are free to experiment and to find an
optimal configuration.

5 Configuration and Use - Packet Services
5.2 Packet Services at a Glance
Access methods
Forwarding methods
The STPro supports two access methods:
Direct access
Once initial configuration is done, continuous and immediate
access is available via the DSL line.
For direct access use either of:
Transparent Bridging
CIP & IP Routing.
Dialin access
In this mode access must be explicitly established, e.g. by
dialing" into a Remote Access Server (RAS).
For dialin access use either of:
Bridged PPPoE
PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying
PPP & IP Routing.
As their names imply the packet services can be differentiated in
two groups:
Forwarding packet services:
Transparent Bridging
Bridged PPPoE
PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying.
These packet services forward frames unmodified.
Routing packet services:
PPP & IP Routing
CIP & IP Routing.
These packet services, combined with NA(P)T allow to share a
single IP address amongst multiple users on the LAN.

Transparent Bridging
PPPoE
PPPo
The STPro IEEE802.1D Transparent Bridging packet service (further
referred to as Bridging) offers complete protocol transparency and
has inherent configuration simplicity. Yet it provides excellent
forwarding performance.
PPPoE is one of two popular mechanisms to get in touch with the
SP.
Bridged PPPoE
By installing a PPPoE client application (provided by your SP.)
on your PC(s) and by using the STPro's bridge, connectivity
can be established.
The other method to get in touch with the SP over the DSL line is
PPPoA.
PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying
Similar to Bridged PPPoE this requires installation of a PPTP
dialin application (*) on your PC(s).
CIP & IP Routing
PPP & IP Routing
PPPoA SP access can equally be accomplished by the
embedded PPPoA dialin client of the STPro.
(*) Most popular OSs have a PPTP dialin application installed, e.g. Microsoft
DialUp Networking or support PPTP Tunneling software to be installed.
The STPro IP router can also be combined with Classical IP (CIP).
Classical IP is a mature technique for creating classical IP networks
on top of ATM technology. It is widely supported by most, if not all
remote access routers.
Although not the original aim of Classical IP it is mostly used for
connecting routers over wide area pointtopoint links.

Encapsulation method (LLC/SNAP)
The PC's IP configuration: static or dynamic (DHCP).
Note: The RFC1483 is updated by RFC2684. The STPro fully complies with the
relevant sections in both RFCs.
You can attach up to four connections (VCs ) to the bridge.
To conserve DSL upstream bandwidth do not attach more
connections than needed.
Bridging does not impose specific requirements to your PC's
protocol layers. However, make sure that these are properly
installed and configured.
In all subsequent examples, TCP/IP will be used.

TCP/IP
CAUTION
For TCP/IP, your SP will assign either static IP parameters or will
ask to enable DHCP (per PC).
Transparent Bridging and DHCP
If the SP requires you to use DHCP on your local PC(s), you must
disable the STPro DHCP server.
This is to avoid conflicts between two DHCP servers.

Static MAC addresses
These are the MAC addresses that must always be resident inside
the bridge, as stipulated in the IEEE802.1D standard:
The STPro's own Ethernet MAC address:
e.g. 00-80-9F-01-02-03
The Broadcast MAC address:
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
The bridge group MAC address:
01-80-C2-00-00-00
The 16 reserved MAC addresses of IEEE802.1D:
From 01-80-C2-00-00-01
up to 01-80-C2-00-00-0F
The all LANs bridge management group MAC address:
01-80-C2-00-00-10
This table lists the MAC addresses you have added to the filtering
database via the CLI. These MAC addresses will never be aged by
the bridge.
Dynamic MAC

8.2 Using PPPoAPPTP Relaying
Introduction
In this section
Before you can create a PPTP tunnel towards the STPro, firstly you
must initially configure a PPTP dialup connection on your PC.
Once this PPTP dialup connection is configured, you can use it to
open a PPPoA/PPTP connection to the remote side of the DSL line.
Because the configuration and use of such a connection follows
similar patterns for all popular OSs, this section will describe the
procedures in global.
In section 8.3 an example is provided on how to create and use a
PPTP DialUp icon in MS Windows 98.

8.2.1 Preparing the PC for PPTP Tunneling
Creating a PPTP
connection icon
PPTP connection
parameters
Most, if not all OSs provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
guided procedure for the initial creation of a PPTP connection
icon.
The result of such creation is in most cases an icon or entry in a
folder or a table called 'RAS', 'DialUp Networking', 'PPTP', 'Call
sessions', 'Remote Access', etc.
During the initial configuration of your PPTP connection icon, you
must provide the following parameters:
A name for the PPTP connection icon
The VPN server's IP address or DNS hostname, i.e. the
STPro's IP address or DNS hostname
Optionally, you can complete this entry with
The VC's PPTP phonebook name - configured on your STPro
- to be used for this connection.
Note: Only in case multiple PPTP phonebook entries are directed towards
different destinations, you must add the appropriate phonebook name to
the dialstring. This allows the STPro to open the session to the correct
specific destination. In case all PPTP phonebook entries are directed
towards the same destination, it is better not to add a phonebook name to
the dialstring.

Per default, following PPTP phonebook entries are available for
PPPoA/PPTP connections:
RELAY_PPP1 (PPTP on 8.48)
RELAY_PPP2 (PPTP on 8.49)
RELAY_PPP3 (PPTP on 8.50)
RELAY_PPP4 (PPTP on 8.51)
In case these PPTP phonebook entries do not meet your
requirements, you can configure a new one.
See section 11.3 for more information.
Depending on your OS, you can open a session by either double
clicking the PPTP session icon or selecting it from a RAS table and
clicking 'DialUp' or 'Connect'.
Before you can actually browse the Internet or contact the remote
side's resources, you must supply the following credentials:
A user name
An associated password.
Note: Most, if not all OSs allow the credentials to be saved.

(continued)
In order to cope with these PPP frame differences, the STPro
adapts to the different formats on a 'per connection' base.
Additionally, the STPro offers the following PPP/AAL5 format
configuration options via the CLI if interoperability problems
should arise:
Value Description
Never
The STPro will make sure that FF03 will
never be found in front of a PPP frame
encapsulated on a AAL5/ATM
connection, independent of the actual
format of the PPP frame in the tunnel.
This setting is default, and follows
RFC2364.
Always
The STPro will make sure that FF03 is
always in front of a PPP frame
encapsulated on an AAL5/ATM
connection. Although not supported by
RFC2364, some equipment may rely on
this format.
Keep
The STPro will not change the PPP frame
arriving via a tunnel.
Note: This configuration possibility applies only to the upstream
direction ! In the downstream direction, the STPro will always
make sure that FF03 is in front of the frame prior to put it in a
PPTP tunnel.
State The STPro allows multiple users to connect simultaneously via
several PPTP entries.
The 'State' column indicates the connection state of the PPTP entry.
It can take following values:
Value Description
Idle
The PPTP entry is configured, and ready

configuration
Three methods exist to open a PPP & IP Routing session:
Dialin
The session is opened manually.
Alwayson
After the STPro is powered and finished its POST successfully,
the STPro automatically tries to open the PPP session.
Dialondemand
The session is opened automatically, triggered by the arrival
or departure of packets at an STPro Ethernet port, destined
for a PPP connection.
Per default, following PPP & IP Routing connections are
preconfigured:
PPP1: dialin connection
PPP2: alwayson connection
DHCP_SPOOF: spoofing connection.
In case these entries do not meet your requirements, you can
configure a new one as follows:
1. If needed, add a PPP phonebook entry with the correct
VPI/VCI on the 'Phonebook' page.
2. On the 'PPP' page, select this phonebook entry from the
'Name' popdown list.
3. For this entry, select the correct encapsulation method from

Introduction
Advanced routing
In this subsection
If a PPP session is opened successfully (either manually by the user,
triggered by LAN traffic, or automatic at boot time), routes are
automatically added to the STPro's routing table.
For advanced users, the STPro allows manual configuration of
routes to dedicated destinations.
See section 12.5 for more information.
Moreover, routes can be configured via the CLI, which will only be
added to the IP route table upon establishing the PPP connection.
See chapter 18 for more information on the CLI.

Connection sharing
The 'Connection Sharing' field allows you to configure which LAN
members, besides the PC that opened the PPP session, can use the
PPP connection.
Three options are available:
Only Me
Only frames of the PC that opened the PPP session will be
routed via this PPP connection.
Suppose you opened a PPP session to your corporate and
other LAN members are surfing the Internet.
Via this option you can prevent them from using the PPP
connection to your corporate as their gateway to the Internet.
Everybody
All PC(s) on the local LAN can forward frames over this PPP
connection. This option is the exact opposite to 'Only me'.
If you open a PPP session to the Internet, other LAN members
can share the PPP connection. In this way they are not
required to open a session themselves.
My net only
Only PC(s) having the same network, and subnet number as
the PC that opened the outbound PPP session, can use the
PPP connection.

Destination networks
In case you want to privilege access via a particular PPP
connection for specific PCs, proceed as follows::
Step Action
1 Configure the PCs, to which you want to privilege outbound access
via this PPP connection, in a particular subnet of your local LAN.
Note: Don't forget to make the STPro also a member of this
workgroup.
2 Configure the 'Connection Sharing' box of the particular PPP
connection for 'My net only'.
3 It is sufficient now to open the PPP session of this PPP connection
from one PC of this subnet.
Note: As a result, only the members of that particular subnet can share this PPP
connection.
The 'Destination networks' field allows you to configure which
destination can be reached over the particular PPP connection.
Four options are available:
All networks
The STPro can potentially route frames to all destinations over
this PPP connection. The PPP connection acts as if it was a
default gateway.
Remote net only
A PPP connection configured for 'Remote net only', only
forwards frames that is destined to this specific network. All
other frames are blocked.
Remote host only
Only those frames with a destination IP address which
matches exactly with this entry in the STPro routing table are
forwarded over this PPP connection. In fact, only
communication with the single remote host is possible.
Specific network defined below
If all previous cases do not fulfill your requirements, 'Specific
network'
might help you out: you can specify which
destination(s) are reachable over this PPP connection. Only if
the destination IP address of a packet matches with this entry,
the packet is forwarded over this PPP connection.

IP: STPro PPP
server/client behavior
Mode: triggering of
PPP session
During the opening of a PPP session, IP addresses are negotiated
between the two peers for the PPP connection. The Local IP' and
'Remote IP' fields influence this negotiation.
Typically at the client side, the 'Local IP' and 'Remote IP' boxes are
left empty. This forces the client to ask the remote server for
addresses.
In case you want to set up the STPro as PPP server, suitable values
for your network configuration must be supplied:
Setting a local IP address
Forces the remote PPP client (if it allows to) to accept this IP
address as the STPro PPP session IP address.
Setting a remote IP address
Forces the remote client (if it allows to) to accept this IP
address as its PPP session IP address.
The 'Mode' field allows you to configure how a PPP session is
opened.
Three options are available:
Dialin
The PPP session is opened manually by clicking
to the PPP connection in the 'Dialin' page.
Alwayson
After the STPro is powered and finished its Power On Self Test
(POST) successfully, the STPro automatically tries to open a
PPP session for the PPP connection.
Dialondemand
The PPP session is opened automatically for a limited period
of time. The opening of the session is triggered by the arrival
of packets at the STPro Ethernet port, to be sent over the PPP
connection.
Note: By default one PPP connection is configured as 'Dialin' (i.e. PPP1),
another as 'Alwayson' (i.e. PPP2).

Idle time limit
LCP echo () requests
PAP (): used
authentication protocol
In case you configured a PPP connection for 'Dialondemand',
the 'Idle Time Limit' box allows you to specify the time after which
an opened, but unused PPP session is closed.
If left free, the idle limit time is infinite (i.e. the PPP session will
never be closed).
If a PPP session is up, it can issue Link Control Protocol (LCP)
echo requests at regular intervals and expects LCP echo replies in
return.
This checkbox allows to turn on/off LCP echo request/replies by
respectively setting (), or clearing the flag.
By default LCP echo is on (i.e. flagged ), allowing the local PPP
peer to detect communication errors, resulting in closing of the
PPP session.
The STPro features two authentication protocols to be used:
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).
ACCOMP (): used
PPP framing
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)
Per default the STPro will negotiate CHAP with the BroadBand
RAS (BBRAS) as it is the safest authentication protocol. However,
PAP will be allowed, if needed.
Setting the PAP flag () will force the STPro only to negotiate PAP
with the BBRAS.
Address and Control field COMPression (ACCOMP), sometimes
abbreviated as ACCM, is by default enabled, i.e. flagged ().
This option flag should not be cleared, except in special
circumstances, i.e. where the remote PPP server expects to see
HDLC like framing (FF03 imposed to the PPP packet).

Introduction
In this chapter
Classical IP & IP routing(*) is the packet service of your choice as it:
Is a third standardized method next to PPPoA and PPPoE for
creating IP networks on top of ATM technology
Is traditionally well supported by ATM access routers at the
remote end of the connection
Similar to Bridging, provides "Alwayson" type of
connections.
(*) In the following, Classical IP & IP Routing will be referred to as Classical
IP (CIP).

Note: The RFC1577 on which Classical IP over ATM relies is updated by
RFC2225. The STPro fully complies with both RFCs.
The STPro can manage up to 12 CIP connections simultaneously.
Note: Check with your SP whether multiple endtoend connectivity is enabled.
In order to use the CIP & IP Routing mode of the STPro, the OS on
your PC(s) must support TCP/IP.

10.2.1 General CIP Configuration Procedure
Decision procedure
Due to the many decisions that must be made in order to be able
to configure the STPro to be an active member of a LIS, the
procedure to be followed is best retrieved from the following
decision table:
Step Decision and/or Action See
Are you configuring the STPro for an existing LIS ?

Answer Action and Description
Yes
No You can create the LIS with IP parameters of
2 Retrieve the appropriate LIS parameters, and check on
which VCs (identifiable by their VPI/VCI values) your service
provider enabled the CIP packet service.
3
If needed, create a CIP phonebook entry, i.e. a CIP PVC, in
the 'Phonebook' web page.
You must retrieve the LIS IP parameters to
which your local configuration must adhere to.

subsection 10.2.2.
In case you create a new LIS, you must create
the LIS at both end of the DSL connection, i.e.
at the local, and on the remote side.

10.4
4
Is the remote access router a RFC1577/RFC2225 compliant device,
e.g. another STPro?
Answer Action and Description
Yes
No
5
If needed, create a CIP member in the 'CIP Interfaces' table
of the 'CIP' page.
6
Add appropriate IP routes to the STPro via the 'IP route'
table on the 'Routing' page.
7
Add appropriate IP routes in you PC(s).
The remote access router will respond to
'InATMARP' requests, thus the CIP PVC can be
implicitly assigned to the CIP member.
The remote access router will not respond to
'InATMARP' requests submitted by the STPro,
thus the CIP PVC must be explicitly assigned to
the CIP member.
