Auto Update

The router supports loading a firmware from USB flash drive if the USB stick is present during the system bootup. The router will search the USB flash drive for a firmware image file whose name has one or more of the following: PID, MAC address, and Serial Number. If there are multiple firmware files in the USB flash drive, the router will check the one with the most specific name, i.e. priority from high to low.

PID-MAC-SN.IMG

•

PID-SN.IMG

•

PID-MAC.IMG

•

PID.IMG

•

The files with other names will be ignored. If the version is higher than the current version, it will be upgraded to this image and the DUT will reboot. After that, the upgrade process will start again.

If it does not find a more recent image in the USB1, then it will check the USB2 using the same logic.

The router also supports loading a configuration file from a USB flash drive during the system bootup.

The behavior only happens when the router is in factory default and attached with a USB flash drive

WAN failover and load balancing features provide efficient utilization of multiple WAN interfaces. Based on the configuration, this feature can be used to distribute traffic among the interfaces. The Multi-WAN feature provides the outbound WAN traffic, and load balancing over multiple WAN interfaces (WAN & USB) based on a numeric weight assignment. It also monitors each WAN connection using repeated ping tests and automatically routes outbound traffic to another WAN interface if connectivity is lost. The specific outbound traffic rules can also be configured because of 5-tuple of a connection.

Dynamic DNS

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is a method of keeping a domain name linked to a changing IP address since not all computers use static IP addresses. D DNS automatically updates a server in the DNS with the active configuration of its hostnames, addresses, or other information. DDNS assigns a fixed domain name to a dynamic WAN IP address. Hence, you can host your own web FTP, or another type of TCP/IP server on your LAN. There are several DDNS services to choose from, most of which are free, or available at a nominal cost. The most popular is DynDNS.

802.1X Configuration

The IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication prevents unauthorized devices (clients) from gaining access to the network. This network access control uses the physical access characteristics of the IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures to authenticate and authorize devices attached to a LAN port, that has point-to-point connection characteristics. A port in this context is a single point of attachment to the LAN infrastructure.

The device supports multiple-hosts mode. In this mode, only one of the attached hosts must be successfully authorized for all hosts to be granted network access. If the port becomes unauthorized (re-authorization fails or an EAPOL-logoff message is received), all attached clients are denied access to the network.

LAN

DNS Local Database

A local Domain Name Service (DNS) server, is used for accelerated DNS service response. DNS matches a domain name to its routable IP address. For commonly used domain names a DNS local database which acts as a local DNS server can give faster results than using an external DNS server. If a requested domain name is not found in the local database, the request is forwarded to the DNS server that is specified on the Setup.

To configure DNS Local Database, follow these steps:

Router Advertisement

The Router Advertisement Daemon (RADVD) is used for defining interface settings, prefixes, routes, and announcements. Hosts rely on the routers on their local networks to facilitate communication to all other hosts except those on the local network. The routers send and respond to the Router Advertisement messages regularly. By enabling this feature, messages are sent by the router periodically and in response to solicitations. A host uses the information to learn the prefixes and parameters for the local network. Disabling this feature effectively disables auto configuration, requiring manual configuration of the IPv6 address, subnet prefix, and default gateway on each device.

To configure the Router Advertisement, follow these steps:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Select LAN > Router Advertisement.

Select the VLAN ID from the drop-down list.

Check Enable to enable router advertisement and configure the following:

Advertisement Mode

Select the advertisement mode from the drop-down list (Unicast or Unsolocited Multicast).

• Managed — Hosts use an administered, stateful configuration protocol (DHCPv6)

to obtain stateful addresses and other information through DHCPv6.

• Other — Uses an administered, stateful configuration protocol (DHCPv6) to

obtain other, non-address information, such as DNS server address.

Step 4 Step 5 Step 6

Router Preference

Preference metric used in a network topology where multi-homed hosts have access to multiple routers. Router Preference helps a host to choose an appropriate router. There are three preferences to choose from, such as High, Medium, or Low. The default setting is High. Select the preference from the drop-down list.

Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)

The MTU is the size of the largest packet that can be sent over the network. It is used in the router advertisement messages to ensure that all nodes on the network use the same MTU value when the LAN MTU is not well-known. The default setting is 1500 bytes, which is the standard value for Ethernet networks. For PPPoE connections, the standard is 1492 bytes. Unless your ISP requires a different setting, this setting should not be changed. Enter a value between 1280 and 1500.

Router Lifetime

Enter the time in seconds for the router advertisement messages to exist on the route. The default is 3600 seconds.

In the Prefix Table, click ADD and enter a name for the prefix.

CHAPTER 8

Routing

This section describes routing, which is the process of selecting the best paths in a network. Dynamic routing is a networking technique that provides optimal data routing. Dynamic routing enables routers to select paths according to real-time logical network layout changes. The router’s routing protocol is responsible for the creation, maintenance, and updating of the dynamic routing table in the dynamic routing. This section contains the following topics:

IGMP Proxy, page 63

•

RIP, page 64

•

Static Routing, page 65

•

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used by hosts and routers on an IP network to create multicast group memberships. IGMP can be used for resources of web and support applications like online streaming for videos and games. The IGMP proxy enables the router to issue IGMP messages on behalf of the clients behind it.

To enable the IGMP proxy follow these steps:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Select Routing > IGMP Proxy.

Check Enable IGMP Proxy to allow the router and the nodes to communicate with each other.

Select the Upstream Interface from the drop-down list.

• WAN-Auto — The router can support multi-WAN. If selecting the WAN auto mode, the router will select the

active WAN as the upstream port. If multiple WANs are up and work in load balance mode, the WAN port with the lowest port number will be the upstream port. For example, if WAN1 and WAN2 are in load-balance mode, the WAN1 will be the upstream port. If WAN1 is down, the WAN 2 will be the upstream port.

• Fixed Interface — The fixed interface will always use the selected port as the upstream port even if it is down.

For example, if WAN1 and WAN2 are in load balance mode, and you select WAN 2 as the upstream port, the WAN1 will not receive the multicast traffic regardless of whether the WAN2 is up or down. If selecting the Fixed Interface, make sure to also choose between WAN 1, WAN 2 or VLAN1.

RIP

Routing

Step 4 Step 5

RIP

Step 1 Step 2

Select the Downstream Interface, WAN or VLAN1.

Click Apply.

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is the standard IGP that is used on Local Area Networks (LAN). RIP ensure a higher degree of network stability by quickly rerouting network packets if one of the network connections goes off-line. When RIP is active, users experience little to no service interruptions due to single router, switch, or server outages if there are sufficient network resources available.

To configure RIP, follow these steps:

Select Routing > RIP.

To enable RIP, check IPv4 or IPv6 or both and configure the following:

Interface

RIP version 1

Check Enable in the corresponding Interface to allow routes from upstream to be received.

Note

This protocol uses classful routing and does not include subnet information or authentication.

Checking Enable for an interface automatically checks RIP version 1, RIP version 2, RIPng (IPv6), and Authentication for that interface. Similarly, unchecking Enable unchecks all.

RIP version 2

Check Enable to enable sending and receiving routing information on RIP

•

version 1.

Check Passive to disable routing information from being sent on RIP version

Routing Information Protocol next generation (RIPng) uses User Datagram Packets (UDP) to send routing information. This is based on RIP version 2 but used for IPv6 routing.

Check Enable to enable RIP IPv6 routing.

•

Check Passive to disable sending RIPng version.

•

Note

This is a security feature that forces authentication of RIP packets before routes are exchanged with other routers. This is not available for RIPv1.

Passive configuration is activated only when Enable is checked.

Check Enable to enable authentication so that routes are exchanged only with

•

trusted routers on the network.

• Password: Select the authentication type — Plain (common method of authentication) or MD5 (challenge-response authentication mechanism) — and enter the password.

Static Routing

Static Routing is a manually configured fixed pathway that a packet must travel to reach a destination. If there is no communication between the routers on the current network topology, static routing can be configured to communicate between the routers. Static Routing uses less network resources than dynamic routing because they do not constantly calculate the next route to take.

To configure static routing, follow these steps:

Step 1 Step 2

Select Routing > Static Routing.

For IPv4 Routes, in the Route Table, click Add or Edit and configure the following:

Network

Metric

Enter the destination subnetwork IP address to which you want to assign a static route to.

Site-to-Site

VPN

In a site-to-site VPN, the local router at one location connects to a remote router through a VPN tunnel. Client devices can access network resources as if they were all at the same site. This model can be used for multiple users at a remote location.

A successful connection requires that at least one of the routers to be identifiable by a static IP address or a Dynamic DNS hostname. If one router has only a dynamic IP address, you can use any email address (user FQDN) or FQDN as an identification to establish the connection.

The two LAN subnets on either side of the tunnel cannot be on the same network. For example, if the Site A LAN uses the 192.168.1.x/24 subnet, Site B can use 192.168.2.x/24.

To configure a tunnel, enter corresponding settings (reversing local and remote) when configuring the two routers. Assume that this router is identified as Router A. Enter its settings in the Local Group Setup section; enter the settings for the other router (Router B) in the Remote Group Setup section. When you configure the other router (Router B), enter its settings in the Local Group Setup section, and enter the Router A settings in the Remote Group Setup section.

Create a Site-to-Site VPN Connection

Step 1

On the Basic Settings tab, provide the following information:

Click Enable to enable the configuration.Enable

Connection Name

Enter a connection name for the VPN tunnel. This description is for reference purposes; it does not have to match the name used at the other end of the tunnel.

Interface

Select the interface (WAN1, WAN2, USB1, or USB2) from the drop-down list to use for this tunnel.

Select Static IP, or FQDN from the drop-down list.Remote Endpoint

IKE Authentication Method

Preshared Key

IKE peers authenticate each other by computing and sending a keyed hash of data that includes the pre-shared key. If the receiving peer is able to create the same hash independently using its Pre-shared key, it knows that both peers must share the same secret, thus authenticating the other peer. Pre-shared keys do not scale well because each IPSec peer must be configured with the Pre-shared key of every other peer with which it establishes a session. Enter the Pre-shared Key, and click Enable to enable the Minimum Pre-shared Key Complexity.

Certificate

The digital certificate is a package that contains information such as a certificate bearer's identity: name or IP address, the certificate's serial number, the certificate's expiration date, and a copy of the certificate bearer's public key. The standard digital certificate format is defined in the X.509 specification. X.509 version 3 defines the data structure for certificates. Select the certificate from the drop-down list.

Step 2

On the Advanced Settings tab, provide the following:

Aggressive Mode

There are two modes of IKE SA negotiation — Main Mode and Aggressive Mode. Main mode is recommended when the network's security is preferred. If network speed is preferred, Aggressive Mode is recommended. Check Enable to enable Aggressive Mode, or uncheck Enable to use the Main Mode. If the Remote Security Gateway Type is one of the Dynamic IP types, Aggressive Mode is required. The box is checked automatically, and this setting cannot be changed.

Compress

A protocol that reduces the size of IP datagrams. Check Compress to enable the router to propose compression when it starts a connection. If the responder rejects this proposal, then the router does not implement compression. When the router is the responder, it accepts compression, even if compression is not enabled. If you enable this feature for this router, also enable it on the router at the other end of the tunnel.

NetBIOS Broadcast

Broadcast messages used for name resolution in Windows networking to identify resources such as computers, printers, and file servers. These messages are used by some software applications and Windows features such as Network Neighborhood. LAN broadcast traffic is typically not forwarded over a VPN tunnel. However, you can check this box to allow NetBIOS broadcasts from one end of the tunnel to be rebroadcast to the other end.

Step 3

Split DNS

Check Split DNS to enable. Splits the DNS server and other DNS requests to another DNS server, based on specified domain names. When the router receives an address resolution request, it inspects the domain name. If the domain name matches a domain name in the Split DNS settings, it passes the request to the specified DNS server. Otherwise, the request is passed to the DNS server that is specified in the WAN interface settings.

DNS Server 1 and DNS Server 2 — Enter the IP address of the DNS server to use for the specified domains. Optionally, specify a secondary DNS server in the DNS Server 2 field.

Domain Name 1 to 6 — Enter the domain names for the DNS servers. Requests for the domains are passed to the specified DNS server.

To enable the Site-to-Site Failover, the Keep-Alive should be enabled on the Advanced Settings tab. Next, on the Failover tab, provide the following information:

Tunnel Backup

Check Tunnel Backup to enable. When the primary tunnel is down, this feature enables the router to re-establish the VPN tunnel by using either an alternate IP address for the remote peer or an alternate local WAN interface. This feature is available only if DPD is enabled.

Remote Backup IP Address

Enter the IP address for the remote peer, or reenter the WAN IP address that was already set for the remote gateway.

Select the local interface (WAN1, WAN2, USB1, or USB2) from the drop-down list.Local Interface

Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is an extension of the PPTP used by an Internet service provider (ISP) to enable VPN over the Internet. L2TP does not provide encryption for the data it tunnels. Instead, they rely on other security protocols, such as IPsec, to encrypt their data.

The L2TP tunnel is established between the L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC) and the L2TP Network Server (LNS). An IPsec tunnel is also established between these devices and all L2TP tunnel traffic is encrypted using IPsec.

To configure the L2TP Server, follow these steps:
