6.6 DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) servers map the user-friendly domain names that users type into their Web
browsers (e.g., "yahoo.com") to the equivalent numerical IP addresses that are used for Internet routing.
When a PC user types a domain name into a browser, the PC must first send a request to a DNS serve r to
obtain the equivalent IP address. The DNS server will attempt to look up the domain name in its own
database, and will communicate with high er-level DNS servers whe n the name cannot b e found locally.
When the address is found, it is sent back to the requesting PC and is referenced in IP packets for the
remainder of the communication.

A IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets
A.1 IP Addresses
This section pertains only to IP addresses for IPv4 (ve rsion 4 of
the Internet Protocol). IPv6 addresses a re not covered.
Note
IP addresses, the Internet's version of telephone number s, are used to identify indivi dual nodes
(computers or devices) on the Internet. Every IP address contains four numbers, each from 0 to 255 and
separated by dots (periods), e.g. 20.56. 0.211. T hese nu mbers ar e call ed, from left t o right , field1, f ield2,
field3, and field4.
This style of writing IP addresses as decimal numbers separated by dots is called dotted decimal notation.
The IP address 20.56.0.211 is read "twenty dot fifty-six dot zero dot two-el even."
A.1.1 Structure of an IP address
This section assumes basic knowledge of bi nary numbe rs, bits,
and bytes. For details on this subject, see Appendix A.
IP addresses have a hiera rchical de sign si milar to th at of telep hone nu mbers. F or exam ple, a 7 -digit
telephone number starts with a 3-digit prefix that identifies a group of thousands of telephone lines, and
ends with four digits that identify one specific line in th at group.
Similarly, IP addresses contai n two kind s of informat ion.
f Network ID
Identifies a particular network within t he Intern et or intr anet
f Host ID
Identifies a particular computer or device o n the network
The first part of every IP address contains the network ID, and the rest of the address cont ains the host ID.
The length of the network ID depends on the network's class (see following section). Table A.1 shows t he
structure of an IP address.
Table A.1. IP Address structure
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
Class A Network ID Host ID
Class B Network ID Host ID
Class C Network ID Host ID
Here are some examples of valid IP addresses:
Class A: 10.30.6.125 (network = 10, host = 30.6.12 5)
Class B: 129.88.16.49 (network = 129.8 8, host = 16.49)
Class C: 192.60.201.11 (network = 192.60.201, host = 11)
A.1.2 Network classes
The three commonly used network classes are A, B, and C. (There is also a class D but it has a special
use beyond the scope of this discussion.) These classes have different uses and characteristics.
Class A networks are the Internet's largest netwo rks, each with room for ov er 16 millio n hosts. Up t o 126 of
these huge networks can exist, f or a tot al of over 2 billion hosts. Because of t heir huge size, t hese
networks are used for WANs and by organizati ons at t he infrastr ucture level of t he Inte rnet, such as your
ISP.
42
AAM6010EV-M ADSL Combo Router User’s Manual
Class B networks are smaller but still quite large, each able to hold over 65, 000 hosts. There can be up to
16,384 class B networks in existence. A class B network might be appro priate for a large orga nization such
as a business or government agency.
Class C networks are the smallest, only able to hold 254 hosts at most, but the total possible number of
class C networks exceeds 2 million (2,097,152 to be exact). LANs connected to the Internet are usually
class C networks.
Some important notes regarding IP addresses:
f The class can be determined easily from field1:
field1 = 1-126: Class A
field1 = 128-191: Class B
field1 = 192-223: Class C
(field1 values not shown are reserved for special uses)
f A host ID can have any value exce pt all field s set to 0 o r all field s set to 25 5, as those values are
reserved for special u ses.
A.2 Subnet masks
A mask looks like a regular IP address, but contains a pattern of
Definition
mask
bits that tells what parts of an I P address a re the net work ID and
what parts are the host ID: bits set to 1 mean " this bit is part of the
network ID" and bits set to 0 mean "t his bit i s part of the host ID."
Subnet masks are used to define subnets (what you get after dividing a network into smaller pieces). A
subnet's network ID is created by "bo rrowing" o ne or mo re bits fro m the host I D porti on of the addres s. The
subnet mask identifies these host ID bits.
For example, consider a class C network 192.168. 1. To split this into two su bnets, you woul d use the
subnet mask:
255.255.255.128
It's easier to see what's happening if we write this in binary:
11111111. 11111111. 11111111.10000000
As with any class C address, all of the bits in field1 through field 3 are part of the n etwork ID, but note how
the mask specifies that the first bit in fiel d 4 is al so inclu ded. Since th is ext ra bit has only two val ues (0 and
1), this means there are two subnets. Each subnet uses the remaini ng 7 bits in field4 for its ho st IDs, which
range from 0 to 127 (instead of the usual 0 to 255 for a class C address).
Similarly, to split a class C network into four subnets, the mask is:
255.255.255.192 or 11111111. 11111111. 11111111.11000000
The two extra bits in field4 can have four values (00, 01, 10, 11), so there are four su bnets. Each subnet
uses the remaining six bits i n field4 f or its ho st IDs, ranging fro m 0 to 63.
Sometimes a subnet mask does not specify any additional
network ID bits, and thus no subnet s. Such a mask i s called a
default subnet mask. These masks are:
Note
Class A: 255.0.0.0
Class B: 255.255.0.0
Class C: 255.255.255.0
These are called default because they are used when a network is
initially configured, at which time it has no subnets.

check the Ethernet cabling.
If you statically assigned a privat e IP addre ss to the co mputer,
(not a registered public addre ss), verify the following:
• Check that the gateway IP address on the computer
is your public IP address (see the Getting Started chapter,
Part 2 for instructions on viewing the IP information.) If it
is not, correct the address or configure the PC to receive
IP information automatically.
• Verify with your ISP that the DNS server specified for
the PC is valid. Correct the address or configure the PC to
receive this information automatically.
• Verify that a Network Address Translation rule has
been defined on the AAM6000EV-M to translate the
private address to your public IP address. The assigned
IP address must be within the range specified in the NAT
rules. Or, configure the PC to accept an address assigned
by another device (see the Getting Started, Part 2). The
default configuration includes a NAT rule for all
dynamically assigned addresses within a predefined pool
Verify that the DNS server specified on the PCs is correct for

B.1 Diagnosing Problem using IP Utilities
B.1.1 ping
Ping is a command you can use to check whether your PC can recog nize other comp uters on your
network and the Internet. A ping command sends a message to the computer you specify. If the computer
receives the message, it sends messages in reply. To use it, you mu st know t he IP addr ess of the
computer with which you are trying t o commun icate.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute a ping command from the Start menu. Click the Start
button, and then click Run. In the Open te xt box, type a st atement su ch as the foll owing:
ping 192.168.1.1
Click
Internet site, if known.
If the target computer receives the message, a Command Prompt win dow displays like that shown in
Figure B.1.
. You can substitute any private IP address on your LAN or a public IP address for an

Using the ping command, you can t est wheth er the pat h to the AA M6010EV-M i s working (usin g the
preconfigured default LAN IP address 192.168.1.1) or another address you assigned.
You can also test whether a ccess to th e Internet i s workin g by typin g an ext ernal addres s, such a s that for
www.yahoo.com (216.115.108.243). If you do not know the IP address of a particular Internet location, you
can use the nslookup command, as explained in the follo wing section.
From most other IP-enabled o peratin g syst ems, y ou can ex ecute t he sam e comm and at a comman d
prompt or through a system administration utility.
B.1.2 nslookup
You can use the nslookup comma nd to determi ne the I P address associated with an Internet site name.
You specify the common name, and the nslookup command looks up the name on your DNS server
(usually located with your ISP). If that name is not an entry in your ISP’s DNS table, the request is then
referred to another higher-level server, and so on, until the entry is found. The server then returns the
associated IP address.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute the nslookup command from the Start menu. Click the
Start button, and then click Run. In t he Open t ext box, type t he follo wing:
nslookup
Click

asymmetrical refers to its unequal data rates for downloading and uploading (the
download rate is higher than the upload rate). The asymmetrical rates benefit
home users because they typically download much more data from the Internet
than they upload.
analog ATM authenticate To verify a user’s identity, such as by prompting for a
password.
binary The "base two" system of numbers, that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent
all numbers. In binary, the number 1 is written as 1, 2 as 10, 3 as 11, 4 as 100, etc.
Although expressed as decimal numbers for convenience, IP addresses in actual
use are binary numbers; e.g., the IP address 209.191.4.240 is
11010001.10111111.00000100.11110000 in binary. See also bit, IP address,
network mask.
bit Short for "binary digit," a bit is a number that can have two values, 0 or 1. See also
binary.
bps bits per second
broadband A telecommunications technology that can send different types of data over the
same medium. DSL is a broadband technology.
broadcast To send data to all computers on a network.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP automates address assignment and management. When a computer
connects to the LAN, DHCP assigns it an IP address from a shared pool of IP
addresses; after a specified time limit, DHCP returns the address to the pool.
DHCP relay Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol relay
A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data between computers that
request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of
the SL-6000 / SL-6300's interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. See
DHCP.
DHCP server Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server
A DHCP server is a computer that is responsible for assigning IP addresse s to the
computers on a LAN. See DHCP.
DNS Domain Name System
The DNS maps domain names into IP addresses. DNS information is distributed
hierarchically throughout the Internet among computers called DNS servers. When
you start to access a web site, a DNS server looks up the requested domain name
to find its corresponding IP address. If the DNS server cannot find the IP address,
it communicates with higher-level DNS servers to determine the IP address. See
also domain name.
domain name A domain name is a user-friendly name used in place of its associated IP addre s s.
For example, www.globespan.net is the domain name associated with IP address
209.191.4.240. Domain names must be unique; their assignment is controlled by
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Domain
names are a key element of URLs, which identify a specific file at a web site, e.g.,
http://www.globespan.net/index.html. See also DNS.

Filtering rules are defined to operate on an interface (or multiple interfaces) and in
a particular direction (upstream, downstream, or both).
firewall Any method of protecting a computer or LAN connected to the Internet from
intrusion or attack from the outside. Some firewall protection can be provided by
packet filtering and Network Address Translation services.
FTP File Transfer Protocol
A program used to transfer files between computers connected to the Internet.
Common uses include uploading new or updated files to a web server, and
downloading files from a web server.
GGP Gateway to Gateway Protocol. An Internet protocol that specifies how gateway
routers communicate with each other.
hop When you send data through the Internet, it is sent first from your computer to a
router, and then from one router to another until it finally reaches a router that is
directly connected to the recipient. Each individual “leg” of the data’s journey is
called a hop.
hop count The number of hops that data has taken on its route to its destination. Alternatively,
the maximum number of hops that a packet is allowed to take before being
discarded (see also TTL).

membership in multicast groups with adja cent routers. A multica st group of computers
is one whose members have designated as interested in receiving specific content
from the others. Multicasting to an IGMP group can be used to simultaneously update
the address books of a group of mobile computer users or to send comp any
newsletters to a distribution list.
Internet The global collection of interconnected networks used for both private and business
communications.
intranet A private, company-internal network that looks like part of the Internet (users
access information using web browsers), but is accessible only by employees.
IP See TCP/IP.
IP address Internet Protocol address
The address of a host (computer) on the Internet, consisting of four numbers, each
from 0 to 255, separated by periods, e.g., 209.191.4.240. An IP address consists
of a network ID that identifies the particular network the host belongs to, and a
AAM6010EV-M ADSL Combo Router User’s Manual
host ID uniquely identifying the host itself on that network. A network mask is used
to define the network ID and the host ID. Because IP addresses are difficult to
remember, they usually have an associated domain name that can be specified
instead. See also domain name, network mask.
ISP Internet Service Provider

Mbps Abbreviation for Megabits per second, or one million bits per second. Network data
rates are often expressed in Mbps.
NAT Network Address Translation
A service performed by many routers that translates your network’s publicly known
IP address into a private IP address for each computer on your LAN. Only your
router and your LAN know these addresses; the outside world sees only the public
IP address when talking to a computer on your LAN.
NAT rule A defined method for translating between public and private IP addresses on your
LAN.
network A group of computers that are connected together, allowing them to communicate
with each other and share resources, such as software, files, etc. A network can
be small, such as a LAN, or very large, such as the Internet.
network mask A network mask is a sequence of bits applied to an IP address to select the network
ID while ignoring the host ID. Bits set to 1 mean "select this bit" while bits set to 0
mean "ignore this bit." For example, if the network mask 255.255.255.0 is applied
to the IP address 100.10.50.1, the network ID is 100.10.50, and the host ID is 1.
See also binary, IP address, subnet, "IP Addresses Explained" section.
NIC Network Interface Card
An adapter card that plugs into your computer and provides the physical interface
to your network cabling, which for Ethernet NICs is typically an RJ-45 connector.
See Ethernet, RJ-45.
packet Data transmitted on a network consists of units called packets. Each packet
contains a payload (the data), plus overhead information such as where it came
from (source address) and where it should go (destination address).

50
AAM6010EV-M ADSL Combo Router User’s Manual
data between your ISP and your computer. The WAN interface on the
AAM6000EV-M uses two forms of PPP called PPPoA and PPPoE. See also
PPPoA, PPPoE.
PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit (VC),
the other type being PPPoA. You can define one or more PPPoE interfaces per
VC.
protocol A set of rules governing the transmission of data. In order for a data transmission to
work, both ends of the connection have to follow the rules of the protocol.
remote In a physically separate location. For example, an employee away on travel who
logs in to the company’s intranet is a remote user.

subnet A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is distinguished from the larger
network by a subnet mask which selects some of the computers of the network
and excludes all others. The subnet's computers remain physically conn ected to
the rest of the parent network, but they are treated as though they were on a
separate network. See also network mask.
subnet mask A mask that defines a subnet. See also network mask.
TCP See TCP/IP.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is responsible for dividing data up
into packets for delivery and reassembling them at the destination, while IP is
responsible for delivering the packets from source to destination. When TCP and
IP are bundled with higher-level applications such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, etc.,
TCP/IP refers to this whole suite of protocols.
Telnet An interactive, character-based program used to access a remote computer. While
HTTP (the web protocol) and FTP only allow you to download files from a remote
computer, Telnet allows you to log into and use a computer from a remote location.
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol
A protocol for file transfers, TFTP is easier to use than File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
but not as capable or secure.
TTL Time To Live
A field in an IP packet that limits the life span of that packet. Originally meant as a
time duration, the TTL is usually represented instead as a maximum hop count;
AAM6010EV-M ADSL Combo Router User’s Manual
each router that receives a packet decrements this field by one. When the TTL
reaches zero, the packet is discarded.
twisted pair The ordinary copper telephone wiring long used by telephone companies. It
contains one or more wire pairs twisted together to reduce inductance and noise.
Each telephone line uses one pair. In homes, it is most often installed with two
pairs. For Ethernet LANs, a higher grade called Category 3 (CAT 3) is used for
10BASE-T networks, and an even higher grade called Category 5 (CAT 5) is used
for 100BASE-T networks. See also 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, Ethernet.
upstream The direction of data transmission from the user to the Internet.
WAN Wide Area Network
Any network spread over a large geographical area, such as a country or continent.
With respect to the SL-6000 / SL-6300, WAN refers to the Internet.
Web browser A software program that uses Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to download
information from (and upload to) web sites, and displays the information, which
may consist of text, graphic images, audio, or video, to the user. Web browsers
use Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Popular web browsers include
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. See also HTTP, web site,
WWW.
Web page A web site file typically containing text, graphics and hyperlinks (cross-references)
to the other pages on that web site, as well as to pages on other web sites. When
a user accesses a web site, the first page that is displayed is called the home
