Chapter 1: Introduction

Introduction to your Router

Thank you for purchasing BiPAC 7800NL router, an all-in-one ADSL2+ Router with wireless-N technology. The BiPAC 7800NL is an ADSL2+ Router that offers users affordable expanded wireless coverage and speedy Internet connection. By supporting Internet Protocol, IPv6, this All-inOne Router allows users to make internet connections between existing IPv4 networks and future IPv6 network upgrades when greater security, high quality QoS and larger addressing are required. With an integrated 802.11n Access Point, the BiPAC 7800NL can automatically adopt an optimal connection to deliver smooth, constant signal reception even if obstacles are present. Robust Firewall security is featured to protect Internet access against hacker attacks. The Quality of Service and VLAN enables intelligent steaming for HD video or multiple applications such as music downloads, online gaming, video streaming and file sharing simultaneously.

Optimal Wireless Speeds and Coverage

With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point, this router supports a data rates up to 300Mbps and delivers up to 6 times the speed and 3 times the wireless coverage of an 802.11b/g network device. If the network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) repeater function allows users to expand the wireless network without the need for any external wires or cables.

Jitter-free, Reliable Net Traffic Quality of Service (QoS) gives full control over outgoing data traffic. Priority can be assigned by the

router to ensure that important transmissions like gaming packets, VoIP calls or IPTV / streaming content passes through the router at lightning speed, even when there is heavy Internet traffic. The transfer speed of different types of outgoing data passing through the router is also controlled to ensure that users do not saturate bandwidth with their browsing activities. The VLAN support is also capable of establishing reliable high-speed transmissions for wide bandwidth applications such as IPTV, VOD, or online gaming without consuming bandwidth.

High-speed Internet Access

The BiPAC 7800NL is compliant with worldwide ADSL standards, and supports download rates of up to 12 / 24Mbps using ADSL2 / 2+, 8Mbps using ADSL and upload rate of up to 1 Mbps. The integrated Annex M standard supports ADSL2 / 2+ for higher uploads by doubling the upload data rate. The 4-port Ethernet Switch incorporated into BiPAC 7800NL enables users to connect multiple computers and wired-Ethernet devices easily and enjoy blistering LAN transmission for multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, IPTV video streaming and real-time audio.

Simple Setup, Ease of Management

Easy Sign-On (EZSO), WPS push button and Auto-scan ADSL settings allow users to manage the device functions effortlessly! The user-friendly, web-based user interface makes installing and managing the BiPAC 7800NL extremely easy. With support for both DHCP client and server, system administrators can manage IP assignment without having to reconfigure other stations and fitting the router into existing network environments.

IPv6 supported

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed IPv4. IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2128 (about

3.4×1038) addresses. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic and eliminates the primary need for network address translation (NAT), which gained widespread deployment as an effort to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion.

IPv6 also implements new features that simplify aspects of address assignment (stateless address autoconfiguration) and network renumbering (prefix and router announcements) when changing Internet connectivity providers. The IPv6 subnet size has been standardized by fixing the size of the host identifier portion of an address to 64 bits to facilitate an automatic mechanism for forming the host identifier from Link Layer media addressing information (MAC address).

Network security is integrated into the design of the IPv6 architecture. Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) was originally developed for IPv6, but found widespread optional deployment first in IPv4 (into which it was back-engineered). The IPv6 specifications mandate IPsec implementation as a fundamental interoperability requirement.

VLAN MUX

A Virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same network switch.

The most commonly used Virtual LAN is defined by 802.1Q tagging protocol, which expended the

original Ethernet frame header to include VLAN ID (tag) and priority bits. With the support of network equipments, multiple virtual networks can coexist over the same physical network. Ethernet frames are used to transfer data over ADSL line when bridging, MER or PPPoE mode is used.

While the DSL connection we usually configured is to use a PVC match a single service, PPPoE PPPoA, bridging, etc. With the VLAN tag, we can make virtual interfaces to create multiple separate WAN connections within the same PVC. It allows multiple services over the same PVC. The VLAN Mux feature is designed for this purpose. For example, you have an ATM interface, PVC with VPI/VCI 8/35, you can set the PPPoE, IPoE, and Bridge connection via the PVC without respectively assigning the three services to three different PVCs.

Virtual AP

A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical Access Point (AP). When a single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example, multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID but a different capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously. Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual AP.

Web Based GUI

It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable

Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.

Cabling

One of the most common causes of problem is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables. If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case you should contact technical support.

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections. If you have a back-to-base alarm system you should contact your security provider for a technician to make any necessary changes.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 7 / 98 / NT / 2000 / XP / Me / Vista, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.

There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.

While in contrast to Default connection mode, one PVC can only hold one service, if you want to more than one service over one PVC, you should apply from your ISP more PVCs to meet your needs.

LAN - Local Area Network

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system network where many computers are connected. This type of network is area defined and is usually limited to a confined region within a building or just within the same storey of a building.

Parameters

Group Name: here group refers to the group you set in Interface Grouping section, you can set

the parameters for the specific group. Select the group by the drop-down box. For more information please refer to Interface Grouping of this manual.

IP address: the IP address of the router. Default is 192.168.1.254. Subnet Mask: the default Subnet mask on the router. IGMP Snooping: Enable or disable the IGMP Snooping function. Without IGMP snooping,

multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group.”

When enabled, you will see two modes:

L Standard Mode: In standard mode, multicast traffic will flood to all bridge ports when no

client subscribes to a multicast group.

L Blocking Mode: In blocking mode, the multicast data will be blocked when there are no

client subscribes to a multicast group, it won’t flood to the bridge ports.

DHCP Server

You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or enable the router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign IP addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically.

L Disable

Disable the DHCP Server function.

L Enable

Enable the DHCP function, enter the information wanted. Here as default.

Start IP Address: the start IP address of the range the DHCP Server used to assign to the Clients. End IP Address: the end IP address f the range the DHCP Server used to assign to the Clients. Leased Time: the leased time for each DHCP Client. Maximum Leased Time(hour): the Maximum Leased Time(hour).

L DHCP Server Relay

If you check DHCP Relay and then you must enter the IP address of the DHCP server which assigns an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP.

Static IP List

The specified IP will be assigned to the corresponding MAC Address listed in the following table when DHCP Server assign IP Addresses to Clients.

Press Add to the Static IP List.

Enter the MAC Address, IP Address and Host Name, then click Apply to confirm your settings.

IP Alias

This function allows the creation of multiple virtual IP interfaces on this router. It helps to connect two or more local networks to the ISP or remote node.

IP Alias: check whether to enable this function. IP Address: Specify an IP address on this virtual interface. Netmask: Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface.

Click Apply to apply your settings.

IPv6 Autoconfig

The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID.

There are two ways to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts. One is statefull configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful autoconfiguration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts.

The second way is stateless configuration. Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the client.

Static LAN IPv6 Address Configuration Interface Address / Prefix Length: enter the static LAN IPv6 address.

IPv6 LAN application DHCPv6 Server: check whether to enable DHCPv6 server. DHCPv6 Server Type: select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is

available. Stateless: if selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server. St ateful: if selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information

from DHCPv6 server. Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the

prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4. End interface ID: enter the end interface ID. Note: Interface ID does NOT support ZERO COMPRESSION "::". Please enter the complete

information. For example: Please enter "0:0:0:2" instead of "::2".

Leased Time (hour): the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned.

Issue Router Advertisement: check whether to enable issue Router Advertisement feature. It is to send Router Advertisement messages periodically.

MLD snooping: similar to IGMP snooping, listens in on the MLD conversation between

hosts and routers by processing MLD packets sent in a multicast network, and it analyzes all MLD packets between hosts and the connected multicast routers in the network. Without MLD snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With MLD snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group.

L Standard Mode: In standard mode, multicast traffic will flood to all bridge ports when no

client subscribes to a multicast group.

L Blocking Mode: In blocking mode, the multicast data will be blocked when there is no

client subscribes to a multicast group, it won’t flood to the bridge ports.

Stateless and Stateful IPv6 address Configuration

Stateless: two methods can be adopted.

L With DHCPv6 disabled, but Issue Router Advertisement Enabled

With this method, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers.

L With both DHCPv6 and Issue Router Advertisement Enabled

With this method, the PCs’ addresses in LAN are configured like above method, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.

Stateful: two methods can be adopted.

L With only DHCPv6 enabled

With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same as in IPv4, that is addresses are assigned by DHCPv6 server.

L With both DHCPv6 and Issue Router Advertisement Enabled

With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same like above, and the address information in RA packets will be neglected.

NAT

NAT (Network Address Translation) feature translates a private IP to a public IP, allowing multiple users to access the Internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. It is a natural firewall for the private network.

Virtual Servers

In TCP/IP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them.

If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and P2P file-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you will usually need to configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on your network running the application. You will also need to use port forwarding if you want to host an online game server.

The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs. Please see the WAN configuration section of this manual for more information on NAT.

The device can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP services via the public (WAN) IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.

This part is only available when NAT is enabled.

It is virtual server listing table as you see, Click Add to configure.

The following configuration page will appear to let you configure.

Interface: select from the drop-down menu the interface you want the virtual server(s) applies to. Server Name: select the server name from the drop-down menu. Custom Service: it is a kind of service to let users customize the service they want. Enter the user-

defined service name here. It is a parameter only available when users select Custom Service in the above parameter.

Server IP Address: Enter your server IP Address here. External Port

L Start: Enter a port number as the external starting number for the range you want to give

access to internal network.

L End: Enter a port number as the external ending number for the range you want to give

access to internal network.

Internal Port

L Start: Enter a port number as the internal staring number.

L End: Here it will generate automatically according to the End port number of External port

and can’t be modified.

Protocol: select the protocol this service used: TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP.

Set up

1. Select a Server Name from the drop-down menu, then the port will automatically appear, modify

some as you like, or you can just leave it as default. Remember to enter your server IP Address.

2. Press Apply to conform, and the items will be list in the Virtual Servers Setup table.

Remove

If you don’t need a specified Server, you can remove it. Check the check box beside the item you want to remove, then press Remove, it will be OK.

ALG

The ALG Controls enable or disable protocols over application layer.

DMZ Host

The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms then passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other Virtual Server entries.

DMZ Host IP Address: Enter the IP Address of a host you want it to be a DMZ host.

Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires instead of simply using DMZ or creating a Virtual Server entry for “All” protocols, as doing so results in all connection attempts to your public IP address accessing the specified PC.

Attention

If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will hence be invalid. If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router.

Security

Packet Filter

Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from

Internet. The relationship among all filters is “or” operation, which means that the router checks these different filter rules one by one, starting from the first rule. As long as one of the rules is satisfied, the specified action will be taken.

Above is the listing table. Click Add to add new configurations.

Filter name: a user-defined filter name or you can select from the drop-down menu the application, and leave the automatically generated name as the Filter name.

IP Version: Select the IP Version， IPv4 or IPv6. Internal IP Address / External IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic

to/from particular IP address (es). Input the range you want to filter out. If you leave empty, it means any IP address.

Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP/UDP，TCP, UDP, ICMP, RAW and Any) that the rule applies

to. Only when RAW is selected, then you can type the protocol number (0-254) to identify the protocol that you want the filter applies to. When Any is selected, it means the filter will applies to any protocol.

Internal Port: This Port or Port Range defines the ports allowed to be used by the Remote/WAN to connect to the application. Default is set from range 1 ~ 65535. It is recommended that this option be configured by an advanced user.

External Port: This is the Port or Port Range that defines the application. Default is set from range 1 ~ 65535.

Action: If a packet matches this filter rule, forward (allows the packets to pass) or drop (disallow the packets to pass) this packet.

Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets.

Set up

Select the application you want to filter, input the information or leave it as default according to yourself.

Press Apply to confirm and the item will be listed in the following table.

Remove

Check the checkbox, press Remove, the item will be removed.

Reorder

When there are more than one Filter application, you can reorder them to the priority you want. The former is prior to the latter one.

Click or to change the priority of the filter, then press to confirm.

Parental Control

Time Restriction

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure the network to block specific machines from accessing your LAN during the specified time.

Action:

L Disable: disable the Time Restriction function. L Allow: allow the members in the following table to access the router. L Block: block the members listed in the following table from accessing the router.

Note: here users should add the rules first, then select the wanted action. Click Add to add the rules.

Username: user-defined name. MAC Address: enter the MAC address(es) you want to allow or block to access the router and LAN.

The format of MAC address could be: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. Days of the week: select the days of a week this rule takes efforts.

Start Time: enter the start time of each day in hh:mm format. Leaving it empty means 00:00. End Time: enter the end time of each day in hh:mm format. Leaving it empty means 23:59.

Click Apply to confirm your settings. The following prompt window will appear to remind you of the attention.

If you needn’t this rule, you can check the box, press Remove, it will be OK.

URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or

http://www.example.com) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.

URL Filtering: select to enable or disable URL Filtering feature.

Keywords Filtering: Allow blocking against specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to specify a complete URL (e.g.to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your specified keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only.

Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL address but not the IP address against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will either be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden).

Restrict URL Features: Click Block Java Applet to filter web access with Java Applet components. Click Block ActiveX to filter web access with ActiveX components. Click Block Cookie to filter web access with Cookie components. Click Block Proxy to filter web proxy access.

Exception IP Address: You can input a list of IP addresses as the exception list for URL filtering. Log: Select Enable for this option if you will like to capture the logs for this URL filter policy.

QoS - Quality of Service

QoS helps you to control the data upload traffic of each application from LAN (Ethernet) to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you the features to control the quality and speed of throughput for each application when the system is running with full upstream load.

Quality of Service: Check to activate this function and the following field will be available. If Enable QoS checkbox is selected, choose a default DSCP mark to automatically mark incoming

traffic without reference to a particular classifier. If Enable Qos checkbox is not selected, all QoS will be disabled for all interfaces.

Select Default DSCP Mark: Select the default DSCP mark from the list-box. Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Mark allows users to classify the traffic of the application to be executed according to the DSCP value. The default DSCP mark is used to mark all egress packets that do not match any classification rules.

Note: Before configuring Queue config and QoS Classification section, you must enable QoS function, for the reason that the queues’ activation will depend on this, the classification will also depend on this.

The corresponding IP precedence and DSCP mapping table is listed below.

Queue Config

Queue is a technology of managing congestion providing precautions with the packets storing and scheduling. Queue Config allows you to configure a QoS queue entry and assign it to a specific network interface. Each queue entry set here will be used by the classfier to place ingress packets appropriately.

Note:

parameters listed above can be configured there. For detail, please turn to WAN > WAN Interface section for help. You can also add other queues to the ATM and PTM interfaces despite of the default queue.

And Wireless Service queue will be enabled by default if you enable wireless. Also if you enable virtual APs, the corresponding WMM service queues will be enabled as well.

Name: the queue name. Key: the item number. Interface: the queue interface. Scheduler Algorithm: the QoS Scheduler Algorithm, SP(Strict Priority) or WFQ(Weight Fair

Queuing)

Precedence: the priority identification. Weight: the weight value, 1-63. the highest is 63. PTM Priority: the PTM priority, normal or high. Enable: check the enable check-box, then press Enable to activate the queue. If you want to

disable this queue, you can uncheck the corresponding check-box and press Enable, the queue will be disabled.

Precedence: the precedence of the queue, interface P1-P4, 4 levels from high to low are 1-4. ATM or PTM interfaces, 7 levels from high to low are 1-7, for the precedence of the default queue with the interface of SP Scheduler Algorithm is 8. Here if the interface is of WFQ Scheduler Algorithm, you should enter the weight of the queue.

Click Apply to save and the added queue will be listed as below.

Enable: check the enable check-box, then press Enable to activate the queue. If you want to disable this queue, you can uncheck the corresponding check-box and press Enable, the queue will be disabled.

Remove: To delete the QoS rule from the table, check Remove checkbox then click Remove button to delete the selected item.

Note: only the queue added via the above mode can be directly removed here, the default queue

can’t be removed here, if you want to remove them, remove the interface in WAN > WAN Interface section.

Note: In ATM mode, maximum queues can be configured: 16

In PTM mode, maximum queues can be configured: 8 For each Ethernet interface, maximum queues can be configured: 4 If you disable WMM function in Wireless Page, queues related to wireless will not take effects.

QoS Classification

This screen displays a packet QoS summary table and allows user to add or remove a QoS classification class. This is the main place to configure the classification, marking and queuing rules.

Click Add to add Network Traffic Class Rule.

The classification rule is a ‘AND’ mode, that is a rule takes effect only when all of the specified conditions must be satisfied.

Parameters

Traffic Class Name: Assign a name for this class to uniquely identify the others among multiple

classes.

Rule Order: Select the priority for this class rule. Rule Status: Select Enable to activate this class rule.

Specify Classification Criteria

The following parameters are to be classification rule. Enter or select appropriate parameters on the following fields. A blank criterion indicates it is not used for classification.

Class Interface: select the interface you want to be the one aspect of the classification criteria. Here ”LAN->WAN” and ”WAN->LAN” can be viewed as IP QoS, the others can be viewed as portedbased QoS, which means that control the QoS of certain port such. For example, if you select P1 port, then criteria applies to this port, that is ported-based QoS.

Entry Type: select the application type. Source/destination MAC Address: enter the source and destination MAC address as the QoS

Classification Criteria. The format should be xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. Source/destination MAC Mask: MAC mask is similar to IP mask, and the format also should be

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. It is used to hide some information of the MAC address. ‘1’, means needed and ‘0’ means ignored. For example, MAC address e0:3b:4a:c2:ca:e2 and MAC mask ff:ff:ff:00:00:00, that is whatever MAC address while matches e0:3b:4a:XX:XX:XX, will be accepted.

Specify Classification Results

Enter or select appropriate parameters you want for the packets matched the above classification criteria in the following fields. You have to choose a classification queue. A blank mark or tag value means no change.

Assign Classification Queue: assign classification queue from the drop-down box. If you want to select the queue, you should make sure the specific queue is enabled in Queue Config section.

Mark Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP): select the DSCP you want to be the new DSCP for the packets which matched the above classification criteria.

Mark 802.1p priority: it is a LAN Layer 2 QoS/CoS Protocol for Traffic Prioritization. It is interoperable with IEEE 802.1Q. 802.1p has 8 kinds of priority.

Tag VLAN ID: enter the tag VLAN ID, 0-4094, used to determine the VLAN the frame belongs to. Rate Type: You can choose Limited or Guaranteed. Ratio: The rate percent in contrast to that on WAN interface.

Note: 802.1p/vlan tag feature be supported only when in bridge mode, DSL WAN interface.

Click Apply to confirm the settings and you will be returned to the QoS Classification page.
