What is a packet

service ?

Five packet services

Multiprotocol

Packet services are the core functions of the AST710 . They provide
that frames or packets get forwarded from the LAN side towards
the DSL line and vice versa.

 Transparent Bridging

 Bridged PPPoE

 PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying

 PPP & IP Routing

 CIP & IP Routing.

All examples in this User's Guide are based on the Internet
Protocol (IP) suite.

However, the AST710 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.

6.2 Packet Services at a Glance

6 Configuration and Use - Packet Services

Access methods

Forwarding methods

The AST710 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.

 Dialin access

In this mode access must be explicitly established, e.g. by
dialing" into a Remote Access Server (RAS).

For dialin access use either of:

 Bridged PPPoE
 PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying
 PPP & IP Routing.

As their names imply the packet services can be differentiated in
two groups:

 Forwarding packet services:

 Transparent Bridging
 Bridged PPPoE

 PPPoAtoPPTP 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 AST710 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 AST710's bridge, connectivity
can be established.

The other method to get in touch with the SP over the DSL line is
PPPoA.

 PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying

Similar to Bridged PPPoE, this requires installation of a PPTP
dialin application (*) on your PC(s).

CIP & IP Routing

 PPP & IP Routing

PPPoA SP access can equally be accomplished by the
embedded PPPoA dialin client of the AST710.

(*) Most popular OSs have a PPTP dialin application installed, e.g. Microsoft

DialUp Networking.

The AST710 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 pointtopoint links.

Note: The RFC1483 is updated by RFC2684. The AST710 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 AST710 DHCP server.

This is to avoid conflicts between two DHCP servers.

9.2 Using PPPoAPPTP Relaying

Introduction

In this section

Before you can create a PPTP tunnel towards the AST710, firstly
you must initially configure a PPTP dialup connection on your PC.
Once this PPTP dialup 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 9.3 an example is provided on how to create and use a
PPTP DialUp icon in MS Windows 98.

9.2.1 Preparing the PC for PPTP Tunneling

Creating a PPTP

connection icon

PPTP connection

parameters

Most popular PPTP Tunneling applications 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', 'DialUp 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

AST710's IP address or DNS hostname.

Optionally, you can complete this entry with

 The VC's PPTP phonebook name - configured on your

AST710 - 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 dialstring. This allows the AST710 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 dialstring.

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 12.2 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 'DialUp' 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 AST710
adapts to the different formats on a 'per connection' base.

Additionally, the AST710 offers the following PPP/AAL5 format
configuration options via the CLI if interoperability problems
should arise:

Value Description
Never

The AST710 will make sure that FF03
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 AST710 will make sure that FF03 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 AST710 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 AST710 will always
make sure that FF03 is in front of the frame prior to put it in a
PPTP tunnel.

State The AST710 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

Three methods exist to open a PPP & IP Routing session:

 Dialin

The session is opened manually.

 Alwayson

After the AST710 is powered and finished its POST
successfully, the AST710 automatically tries to open the PPP
session.

 Dialondemand

The session is opened automatically, triggered by the arrival
or departure of packets at an AST710 Ethernet port, destined
for a PPP connection.

Per default, following PPP & IP Routing connections are
preconfigured:

 PPP1: dialin connection

 PPP2: alwayson 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

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 AST710's routing table.

For advanced users, the AST710 allows manual configuration of
routes to dedicated destinations.

See section 13.5 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 20 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 AST710 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 AST710 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 AST710 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: AST710 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 AST710 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 AST710 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:

 Dialin

The PPP session is opened manually by clicking
to the PPP connection in the 'Dialin' page.

 Alwayson

After the AST710 is powered and finished its Power On Self
Test (POST) successfully, the AST710 automatically tries to
open a PPP session for the PPP connection.

 Dialondemand

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 AST710 Ethernet port, to be sent over the
PPP connection.

Note: By default one PPP connection is configured as 'Dialin' (i.e. PPP1),

another as 'Alwayson' (i.e. PPP2).

Idle time limit

LCP echo () requests

PAP (): used

authentication protocol

In case you configured a PPP connection for 'Dialondemand',
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 checking (), or unchecking.

By default LCP echo is on (i.e. checked ), allowing the local PPP
peer to detect communication errors, resulting in closing of the
PPP session.

The AST710 features two authentication protocols to be used:

 Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).

ACCOMP (): used

PPP framing

 Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)

Per default the AST710 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 AST710 only to negotiate
PAP with the BBRAS.

Address and Control field COMPression (ACCOMP), sometimes
abbreviated as ACCM, is by default enabled, i.e. checked ().

This checkbox should not be unchecked, 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 "Alwayson" type of

connections.

(*) In the following, Classical IP & IP Routing will be referred to as Classical

IP (CIP).

Needed information

Multiple destinations

PC(s)

 VPI/VCI value of the VC(s) to use on the DSL line

 CIP packet service must be supported on this VC

 Encapsulation method (LLC/SNAP)

 For full compliancy to RFC1577 the remote access device

must issue and respond to InATMARP messages.

Note: The RFC1577 on which Classical IP over ATM relies is updated by

RFC2225. The AST710 fully complies with both RFCs.

The AST710 can manage up to 12 CIP connections
simultaneously.

Note: Check with your SP whether multiple endtoend connectivity is enabled.

In order to use the CIP & IP Routing mode of the AST710, the OS
on your PC(s) must support TCP/IP.

See chapter 13 for more information on IP.
