Chapter 2: Router Applications

2.1 Overview

Your BiGuard 2/10 Router is a versatile devi ce that can be configured to not only protect your network from malicious attackers, but also ensure optimal usage of available bandwidth with Quality of Service (QoS). Alternatively, BiGuard 2/10 can also be set to handle secure connections with Virtual Private Networking (VPN).

The following chapter describes how BiGuard 2/10 can work for you.

2.2 Bandwidth Management with QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router. By doing so, the router can ensure that latency-sensitive applications like voice, bandwidth-consuming data like gaming packets, or even mission critical files efficiently move thr ough the router even under a heavy load. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router . In addition, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.

2.2.1 QoS Technology

QoS generally involves the prioritization of network traffic. QoS is comprised of three major components: Classifier, Meter, and Scheduler. Each of these components has a distinct role in ensuring that incoming and outgoing data is managed according to user specifications.

The Classifier analyses incoming packets and marks each one according to configured parameters. The Meter communicat es the drop priority to the Scheduler and measures the temporal priorities of the output stream against configured parameters. Finally , the Scheduler schedules each packet for tr ansmission based on information from both the Classifier and the Meter.

2.2.2 QoS Policies for Different Applications

By setting different QoS policies according to the applications you a re runn ing, y ou can use BiGuard 2/10 to optimize the band width that is being used on your network.

Restricted PC

VoIP

Normal PCs

As illustrated in the diagram above, applications such as Voiceover IP (VoIP) require low network latencies to function properly. If bandwidth is being used by other applications such as an FTP server, users using VoIP will experience network lag and/or service interruptions during use. To avoid this scenario, this network has assigned VoIP with a guaranteed bandwidth and higher priority to ensure smooth communications. The FTP server, on the other hand, has been given a maximum bandwidth cap to make sure that regular service to both VoIP and normal Internet applications is uninterrupted.

2.2.3 Guaranteed / Maximum Bandwidth

Setting a Guaranteed Bandwidth ensures that a particular service receives a minimum percentage of bandwidth. For ex ample, you can configure BiGuard 2/10 to reserve 10% of the ava ilable bandwidth for a pa rticular computer on the network to transfer files.

Alternatively you can set a Maximum Bandwidth to restrict a particular application to a fixed percentage of the total throughput. Setting a Max imum Bandwidth of 20% for a file sharing program will ensure that no more than 20% of the available bandwidth will be used for file sharing.

2.2.4 P oli c y Based Traffic Shaping

Policy Based Traffic Shaping allows you to apply specific traffic policies across a range of IP addresses or ports. This is particularly useful for assigning different policies for different PCs on the network. Policy based traffic shaping lets you better manage your bandwidth, providing reliable Internet and network service to your organization.

2.2.5 Priority Bandwidth Utilization

Assigning priority to a certain service allows BiGuard 2/10 to give either a higher or lower priority to traffic from this particular service. Assigning a higher priority to an application ensures that it is processed ahead of applications with a lower priority and vice versa.

2.2.6 Management by IP or MAC address

BiGuard 2/10 can also be configured to apply traffic policies based on a particular IP or MAC address. This allows you to quickly assign different traffic policies to a specific computer on the network.

2.2.7 DiffServ (DSCP Marking)

DiffServ (a.k.a. DSCP Marking) allows you to classify traffic based on IP DSCP values. These markings can be used to identify traffic within the network. Other interfaces can match traffic based on the DSCP markings. DSCP markings are used to decide how packets should be treated, and is a useful tool to give precedence to varying types of data.

2.3 Virtual Private Networking

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) enables you to send data between two computers across a shared or public network in a manner that emulates the properties of a point-to-point private link. As such, it is perfect for connecting branch offices to headquarter across the Internet in a secure fashion.

The following section discusses Virtual Private Networking with BiGuard 2/10.

2.3.1 General VPN Setup

There are typically three different VPN scenarios. The first is a Gateway to Gateway setup, where two remote gateways communicate over the Internet via a

secure tunnel.

The next type of VPN setup is the G ateway to Multiple G ateway setup, where one gateway (Headquarter) is communicating with multiple gateways (Branch Offices) over the Internet. As with all VPNs, data is kept secure with secure tunnels.

The final type of VPN setup is the Client to Gateway. A good example of where this can be applied is when a remote sales person accesses the corpor ate network o ver a secure VPN tunnel.

VPN provides a flexible, cost-efficient, and reliable way for companies of all sizes to stay connected. One of the most important steps in setting up a VPN is proper planning. The following sections demonstrate the various ways of usi ng BiGuard 2/10 to setup your VPN.

2.3.2 Concentrator

The VPN Concentrator provides an easy way for branch offices to connect to headquarter through a VPN tunnel. All br anch office traffic will be redirected to the VPN tunnel to headquarter with the exception of LAN-side traffic. This way, all branch offices can connect to each other t hrough headquarter via the headquarter’ firewall management. You can also configure BiGuard 2/10 to function as a VPN

Concentrator:

With an intuitive web-based configuration, BiGuard 2/10 allows you to administer your network via virtually any Java-enabled web browser and is fully compatible with Linux, Mac OS, and Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP operating systems.

The following chapter takes you through the very first steps to configuring your network for BiGuard 2/10. T ake a look and see how easy it is to get your network up and running.

3.2 Before You Begin

BiGuard 2/10 is a flexible and powerful networking device. To simplify the configuration process and increase the efficiency of your network, consider the following items before setting up your network for the first time:

1. Plan your network You may need a fully qualified domain name either for convenience or if you have a dynamic IP address. See Chapter 2: Router Applications for more information.

2. Set up your accounts Have access to the Internet and locate the Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information.

3. Determine your network management approach BiGuard 2/10 is capable of remote management. Howe ver, this feature is not active by default. If you reset the device, remote administration must be enabled again. If you decide to manage your network remotely, be sure to change the default password to something more secure.

4. Prepare to physically connect BiGuard 2/10 to Cable or DSL modems and a computer.

Be sure to also review th e Safety Warnings located in the preface o f th is manual before working with your BiGuard 2/10.

3.3 Connecting Your Router

Connecting BiGuard 2/10 is an easy three-step process:

1. Connect BiGuard 2/10 to your LAN by connecting Ethernet cables from your networked PCs to the LAN ports on the router. Connect BiGuard 2/10 to your broadband Internet connection via router’s WAN port.

2. Plug BiGuard 2/10 to an AC outlet with the included AC Power Adapter.

3. Ensure that the Power and WAN LEDs are solidly lit, and that on any LAN port that has an Ethernet cable plugged in the LED is also solidly lit. The Status LED will remain solid as the device boots. Once the boot sequence is complete, the LED will shut off, indicating that BiGuard 2/10 is ready.

If the router does not power on, please refer to Chapter 5: Troubleshooting for possible solutions.

3.4 Configuring PCs for TCP/IP Networking

Now that your BiGuard 2/10 is connected properly to your network, it’s time to configure your networked PCs for TCP/IP networking.

In order for your networked PCs to communicate with your router, they must have the following characteristics:

1. Have a properly installed and functioning Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC).

2. Be connected to BiGuard 2/10, either directly or through an external repeater hub via an Ethernet cable.

3. Have TCP/IP installed and configured with an IP address.

The IP address for each PC may be a fixed IP address or one that is obtained from a DHCP server. If using a fixed IP address, it is important to remember that it must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of BiGuard 2/10 is

192.168.1.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Using the default configuration, networked PCs must reside in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253. However, you’ll find that the quickest and easiest way to configure the IP addresses for your PCs is to obtain the IP addresses automatically by using the router as a DHCP server.

If you are unable to access the web configuration interface, check to se e if you have any software-based firewalls installed on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of BiGuard 2/10.

The following sections outline how to set up your PCs for TCP/IP networking. Refer to the applicable section for your PC’s operating system.

3.4.1 Overview
