The D-Link DSR series of routers are enterprise grade security gateway solutions
with Firewall, VPN and in some cases 802.11n Access Point capabilities. These
devices have wizards to allow for quick and easy configuration for internet access,
VPN tunnels, and wireless networks. The GUI provides all the capabilities for
novice and advanced users to administer this secure and feature rich router.
1.1 About this User Manual
This document is a high level manual to allow new D-Link DSR Series Router
users to configure connectivity, setup VPN tunnels, establish firewall rules
and perform general administrative tasks. Typical deployment and use case
scenarios are described in each section. For more detailed setup instructions
and explanations of each configuration parameter, refer to the online help that
can be accessed from each page in the router GUI.

2. Configuring Your Network: LAN Setup
It is assumed that the user has a machine for management connected to the LAN
to the router. The LAN connection may be through the wired Ethernet ports
available on the router, or once the initial setup is complete, the device may also
be managed through its wireless interface as it is bridged with the LAN. Access
the router’s graphical user interface (GUI) for management by using any web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox:
Go to http://192.168.10.1 (default IP address) to display the router’s
management login screen.
Default login credentials for the management GUI:
Username: admin
Password: admin
If the router’s LAN IP address was changed, use that IP address in the
navigation bar of the browser to access the router’s management UI.
2.1 LAN Configuration
Setup > Network Settings > LAN Configuration
By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server to the hosts on the WLAN or LAN network. With DHCP, PCs
and other LAN devices can be assigned IP addresses as well as addresses
for DNS servers, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) servers, and the
default gateway. With the DHCP server enabled the router’s IP address
serves as the gateway address for LAN and WLAN clients. The PCs in the
LAN are assigned IP addresses from a pool of addresses specified in this
procedure. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid
duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings are satisfactory.
If you want another PC on your network to be the DHCP server or if you are
manually configuring the network settings of all of your PCs, set the DHCP
7
D-Link DSR Series Router
mode to ‘none’. DHCP relay can be used to forward DHCP lease information
from another LAN device that is the network’s DHCP server; this is
particularly useful for wireless clients.
Instead of using a DNS server, you can use a Windows Internet Naming
Service (WINS) server. A WINS server is the equivalent of a DNS server but
uses the NetBIOS protocol to resolve hostnames. The router includes the
WINS server IP address in the DHCP configuration when acknowledging a
DHCP request from a DHCP client.
You can also enable DNS proxy for the LAN. When this is enabled the router
then as a proxy for all DNS requests and communicates with the ISP’s DNS
servers. When disabled all DHCP clients receive the DNS IP addresses of the
ISP.
To configure LAN Connectivity, please follow the steps below:
1.
In the LAN Setup page, enter the following information for your router:
IP address (factory default: 192.168.10.1).
If you change the IP address and click Save Settings, the GUI will not
respond. Open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again. Be
sure the LAN host (the machine used to manage the router) has obtained IP
address from newly assigned pool (or has a static IP address in the router’s
LAN subnet) before accessing the router via changed IP address.
Subnet mask (factory default: 255.255.255.0).

2.
In the DHCP section, select the DHCP mode:
None: the router’s DHCP server is disabled for the LAN
DHCP Server. With this option the router assigns an IP address within the
specified range plus additional specified information to any LAN device that
requests DHCP served addresses.
User Manual
DHCP Relay: With this option enabled, DHCP clients on the LAN can receive IP
If DHCP is being enabled, enter the following DHCP server parameters:
address leases and corresponding information from a DHCP server on a
different subnet. Specify the Relay Gateway, and when LAN clients make a
DHCP request it will be passed along to the server accessible via the Relay
Gateway IP address.
• Starting and Ending IP Addresses: Enter the first and last continuous
addresses in the IP address pool. Any new DHCP client joining the LAN is
assigned an IP address in this range. The default starting address is
192.168.10.2. The default ending address is 192.168.10.100. These
addresses should be in the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN
IP address. You may wish to save part of the subnet range for devices
with statically assigned IP addresses in the LAN.
• Primary and Secondary DNS servers: If configured domain name system
(DNS) servers are available on the LAN enter their IP addresses here.
• WINS Server (optional): Enter the IP address for the WINS server or, if
present in your network, the Windows NetBios server.
• Lease Time: Enter the time, in hours, for which IP addresses are leased to
clients.
Enable DNS Proxy: To enable the router to act as a proxy for all DNS requests
and communicate with the ISP’s DNS servers, click the checkbox.

LAN Configuration in an IPv6 Network
Advanced > IPv6 > IPv6 LAN > IPv6 LAN Config
In IPv6 mode, the LAN DHCP server is enabled by default (similar to IPv4
mode). The DHCPv6 server will serve IPv6 addresses from configured
address pools with the IPv6 Prefix Length assigned to the LAN.
IPv4 / IPv6 mode must be enabled in the Advanced > IPv6 > IP mode to
enable IPv6 configuration options.

User Manual
2.1.1.1LAN Settings
The default IPv6 LAN address for the router is fec0::1. You can change this
128 bit IPv6 address based on your network requirements. The other field
that defines the LAN settings for the router is the prefix length. The IPv6
network (subnet) is identified by the initial bits of the address called the
prefix. By default this is 64 bits long. All hosts in the network have common
initial bits for their IPv6 address; the number of common initial bits in the
network’s addresses is set by the prefix length field.
Figure 2: IPv6 LAN and DHCPv6 configuration
11
D-Link DSR Series Router
If you change the IP address and click Save Settings, the GUI will not
respond. Open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again. Be
sure the LAN host (the machine used to manage the router) has obtained IP
address from newly assigned pool (or has a static IP address in the router’s
LAN subnet) before accessing the router via changed IP address.
As with an IPv4 LAN network, the router has a DHCPv6 server. If enabled,
the router assigns an IP address within the specified range plus additional
specified information to any LAN PC that requests DHCP served addresses.
The following settings are used to configure the DHCPv6 server:
DHCP Mode: The IPv6 DHCP server is either stateless or stateful. If stateless
is selected an external IPv6 DHCP server is not required as the IPv6 LAN
hosts are auto-configured by this router. In this case the router advertisement
daemon (RADVD) must be configured on this device and ICMPv6 router
discovery messages are used by the host for auto-configuration. There are no
managed addresses to serve the LAN nodes. If stateful is selected the IPv6
LAN host will rely on an external DHCPv6 server to provide required
configuration settings
The domain name of the DHCPv6 server is an optional setting
Server Preference is used to indicate the preference level of this DHCP server.
DHCP advertise messages with the highest server preference value to a LAN
host are preferred over other DHCP server advertise messages. The default
is 255.
12
The DNS server details can be manually entered here (primary/secondary
options. An alternative is to allow the LAN DHCP client to receive the DNS
server details from the ISP directly. By selecting Use DNS proxy, this router
acts as a proxy for all DNS requests and communicate with the ISP’s DNS
servers (a WAN configuration parameter).
User Manual
Primary and Secondary DNS servers: If there are configured domain name
system (DNS) servers available on the LAN enter the IP addresses here.
Lease/Rebind time sets the duration of the DHCPv6 lease from this router to
the LAN client.
2.1.1.2IPv6 Address Pools
This feature allows you to define the IPv6 delegation prefix for a range of IP
addresses to be served by the gateway’s DHCPv6 server. Using a
delegation prefix you can automate the process of informing other
networking equipment on the LAN of DHCP information specific for the
assigned prefix.
2.1.2
Configuring IPv6 Router Advertisements
Router Advertisements are analogous to IPv4 DHCP assignments for LAN
clients, in that the router will assign an IP address and supporting network
information to devices that are configured to accept such details. Router
Advertisement is required in an IPv6 network is required for stateless auto
configuration of the IPv6 LAN. By configuring the Router Advertisement
Daemon on this router, the device will listen on the LAN for router
solicitations and respond to these LAN hosts with router advisements.
2.1.2.1RADVD
Advanced > IPv6 > IPv6 LAN > Router Advertisement
To support stateless IPv6 auto configuration on the LAN, set the RADVD
status to Enable. The following settings are used to configure RADVD:
Advertise Mode: Select Unsolicited Multicast to send router advertisements
(RA’s) to all interfaces in the multicast group. To restrict RA’s to well known
IPv6 addresses on the LAN, and thereby reduce overall network traffic, select
Unicast only.
13
D-Link DSR Series Router
Advertise Interval: When advertisements are unsolicited multicast packets, this
interval sets the maximum time between advertisements from the interface.
The actual duration between advertisements is a random value between one
third of this field and this field. The default is 30 seconds.
RA Flags: The router advertisements (RA’s) can be sent with one or both of
these flags. Chose Managed to use the administered /stateful protocol for
address auto configuration. If the Other flag is selected the host uses
administered/stateful protocol for non-address auto configuration.
Router Preference: this low/medium/high parameter determines the preference
associated with the RADVD process of the router. This is useful if there are
other RADVD enabled devices on the LAN as it helps avoid conflicts for IPv6
clients.
MTU: The router advertisement will set this maximum transmission unit (MTU)
value for all nodes in the LAN that are autoconfigured by the router. The
default is 1500.
Router Lifetime: This value is present in RA’s and indicates the usefulness of
this router as a default router for the interface. The default is 3600 seconds.
Upon expiration of this value, a new RADVD exchange must take place
between the host and this router.

Figure 3: Configuring the Router Advertisement Daemon
Advertisement Prefixes
Advanced > IPv6 > IPv6 LAN > Advertisement Prefixes
The router advertisements configured with advertisement prefixes allow this
router to inform hosts how to perform stateless address autoconfiguration.
Router advertisements contain a list of subnet prefixes that allow the router
to determine neighbors and whether the host is on the same link as the
router.
The following prefix options are available for the router advertisements:
IPv6 Prefix Type: To ensure hosts support IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel select the 6to4
prefix type. Selecting Global/Local/ISATAP will allow the nodes to support all
other IPv6 routing options
15
D-Link DSR Series Router
SLA ID: The SLA ID (Site-Level Aggregation Identifier) is available when 6to4
Prefixes are selected. This should be the interface ID of the router’s LAN
interface used for router advertisements.
IPv6 Prefix: When using Global/Local/ISATAP prefixes, this field is used to
define the IPv6 network advertised by this router.
IPv6 Prefix Length: This value indicates the number contiguous, higher order
bits of the IPv6 address that define up the network portion of the address.
Typically this is 64.
Prefix Lifetime: This defines the duration (in seconds) that the requesting node
is allowed to use the advertised prefix. It is analogous to DHCP lease time in
an IPv4 network.

2.2 VLAN Configuration
The router supports virtual network isolation on the LAN with the use of
VLANs. LAN devices can be configured to communicate in a subnetwork
defined by VLAN identifiers. LAN ports can be assigned unique VLAN IDs so
that traffic to and from that physical port can be isolated from the general
User Manual
LAN. VLAN filtering is particularly useful to limit broadcast packets of a
device in a large network
VLAN support is disabled by default in the router. In the VLAN Configuration
page, enable VLAN support on the router and then proceed to the next
section to define the virtual network.
Setup > VLAN Settings > Available VLAN
The Available VLAN page shows a list of configured VLANs by name and
VLAN ID. A VLAN membership can be created by clicking the Add button
below the List of Available VLANs.
A VLAN membership entry consists of a VLAN identifier and the numerical
VLAN ID which is assigned to the VLAN membership. The VLAN ID value can
be any number from 2 to 4091. VLAN ID 1 is reserved for the default VLAN,
which is used for untagged frames received on the interface. VLAN IDs 4092
is reserved and cannot be used. By enabling Inter VLAN Routing, you will
allow traffic from LAN hosts belonging to this VLAN ID to pass through to
other configured VLAN IDs that have Inter VLAN Routing enabled.
Figure 5: Adding VLAN memberships to the LAN
17
D-Link DSR Series Router
2.2.1
Associating VLANs to ports
In order to tag all traffic through a specific LAN port with a VLAN ID, you can
associate a VLAN to a physical port.
Setup > VLAN Settings > Port VLAN
VLAN membership properties for the LAN and wireless LAN are listed on this
page. The VLAN Port table displays the port identifier, the mode setting for
that port and VLAN membership information. The configuration page is
accessed by selecting one of the four physical ports or a configured access
point and clicking Edit.
Figure 6: Port VLAN list
The edit page offers the following configuration options:
Mode: The mode of this VLAN can be General, Access, or Trunk. The default
is access.
18
User Manual
In General mode the port is a member of a user selectable set of VLANs.
The port sends and receives data that is tagged or untagged with a VLAN
ID. If the data into the port is untagged, it is assigned the defined PVID. In
the configuration from Figure 4, Port 3 is a General port with PVID 3, so
untagged data into Port 3 will be assigned PVID 3. All tagged data sent
out of the port with the same PVID will be untagged. This is mode is
typically used with IP Phones that have dual Ethernet ports. Data coming
from phone to the switch port on the router will be tagged. Data passing
through the phone from a connected device will be untagged.
In Access mode the port is a member of a single VLAN (and only one). All
data going into and out of the port is untagged. Traffic through a port in
access mode looks like any other Ethernet frame.
In Trunk mode the port is a member of a user selectable set of VLANs. All
data going into and out of the port is tagged. Untagged coming into the port
is not forwarded, except for the default VLAN with PVID=1, which is
untagged. Trunk ports multiplex traffic for multiple VLANs over the same
physical link.
Select PVID for the port when the General mode is selected.
Configured VLAN memberships will be displayed on the VLAN Membership
Configuration for the port. By selecting one more VLAN membership options
for a General or Trunk port, traffic can be routed between the selected VLAN
membership IDs

2.3 Configurable Port: DMZ Setup
This router supports one of the physical ports to be configured as a secondary
WAN Ethernet port or a dedicated DMZ port. A DMZ is a subnetwork that is
open to the public but behind the firewall. The DMZ adds an additional layer
of security to the LAN, as specific services/ports that are exposed to the
internet on the DMZ do not have to be exposed on the LAN. It is
recommended that hosts that must be exposed to the internet (such as web or
email servers) be placed in the DMZ network. Firewall rules can be allowed
to permit access specific services/ports to the DMZ from both the LAN or
WAN. In the event of an attack to any of the DMZ nodes, the LAN is not
necessarily vulnerable as well.
20
Setup > DMZ Setup > DMZ Setup Configuration
DMZ configuration is identical to the LAN configuration. There are no
restrictions on the IP address or subnet assigned to the DMZ port, other than
User Manual
the fact that it cannot be identical to the IP address given to the LAN interface
of this gateway.
Figure 8: DMZ configuration
In order to configure a DMZ port, the router’s configurable port must be set
to DMZ in the Setup > Internet Settings > Configurable Port page.
2.4 Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Advanced > Advanced Network > UPnP
21
D-Link DSR Series Router
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a feature that allows the router to
discovery devices on the network that can communicate with the router and
allow for auto configuration. If a network device is detected by UPnP, the
router can open internal or external ports for the traffic protocol required by
that network device.
Once UPnP is enabled, you can configure the router to detect UPnPsupporting devices on the LAN (or a configured VLAN). If disabled, the
router will not allow for automatic device configuration.
Configure the following settings to use UPnP:
Advertisement Period: This is the frequency that the router broadcasts UPnP
information over the network. A large value will minimize network traffic but
cause delays in identifying new UPnP devices to the network.
Advertisement Time to Live: This is expressed in hops for each UPnP packet.
This is the number of steps a packet is allowed to propagate before being
discarded. Small values will limit the UPnP broadcast range. A default of 4 is
typical for networks with few switches.

3. Connecting to the Internet: WAN Setup
This router has two WAN ports that can be used to establish a connection to the
internet. The following ISP connection types are supported: DHCP, Static, PPPoE,
PPTP, L2TP, 3G Internet (via USB modem).
It is assumed that you have arranged for internet service with your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). Please contact your ISP or network administrator for the
configuration information that will be required to setup the router.
3.1 Internet Setup Wizard
Setup > Wizard > Internet
The Internet Connection Setup Wizard is available for users new to
networking. By going through a few straightforward configuration pages you
can take the information provided by your ISP to get your WAN connection up
and enable internet access for your network.
Figure 10: Internet Connection Setup Wizard
You can start using the Wizard by logging in with the administrator password
for the router. Once authenticated set the time zone that you are located in,
24
User Manual
and then choose the type of ISP connection type: DHCP, Static, PPPoE,
PPTP, L2TP. Depending on the connection type a username/password may
be required to register this router with the ISP. In most cases the default
settings can be used if the ISP did not specify that parameter. The last step
in the Wizard is to click the Connect button, which confirms the settings by
establishing a link with the ISP. Once connected, you can move on and
configure other features in this router.
3G Internet access with a USB modem is supported on the secondary WAN
port (WAN2). The Internet Connection Setup Wizard assists with the
primary WAN port (WAN1) configuration only.
3.2 WAN Configuration
Setup > Internet Settings > WAN1 Setup
You must either allow the router to detect WAN connection type automatically
or configure manually the following basic settings to enable Internet
connectivity:
ISP Connection type: Based on the ISP you have selected for the primary
WAN link for this router, choose Static IP address, DHCP client, Point-toPoint Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
(PPPoE), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). Required fields for the selected
ISP type become highlighted. Enter the following information as needed and
as provided by your ISP:
PPPoE Profile Name. This menu lists configured PPPoE profiles, particularly
useful when configuring multiple PPPoE connections (i.e. for Japan ISPs that
have multiple PPPoE support).
ISP login information. This is required for PPTP and L2TP ISPs.
User Name
Password
Secret (required for L2TP only)
25
D-Link DSR Series Router
MPPE Encryption: For PPTP links, your ISP may require you to enable
Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE).
Split Tunnel (supported for PPTP and L2TP connection). This setting allows
your LAN hosts to access internet sites over this WAN link while still
permitting VPN traffic to be directed to a VPN configured on this WAN port.
With split tunneling enabled users can bypass content filtering and other
firewall settings. Disable split tunneling on the WAN interface for highest
gateway security measures.
Connectivity Type. To keep the connection always on, click Keep Connected.
To log out after the connection is idle for a period of time (useful if your ISP
costs are based on logon times), click Idle Timeout and enter the time, in
minutes, to wait before disconnecting in the Idle Time field.
My IP Address: Enter the IP address assigned to you by the ISP.
Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of the PPTP or L2TP server.
WAN Port IP address
Your ISP assigns you an IP address that is either dynamic (newly generated
each time you log in) or static (permanent). The IP Address Source option
allows you to define whether the address is statically provided by the ISP or
should be received dynamically at each login. If static, enter your IP address,
IPv4 subnet mask, and the ISP gateway’s IP address. PPTP and L2TP ISPs
also can provide a static IP address and subnet to configure, however the
default is to receive that information dynamically from the ISP.
WAN DNS Servers
26
The IP Addresses of WAN Domain Name Servers (DNS) are typically provided
dynamically from the ISP but in some cases you can define the static IP
addresses of the DNS servers. DNS servers map Internet domain names
(example: www.google.com) to IP addresses. Click to indicate whether to get
DNS server addresses automatically from your ISP or to use ISP-specified
User Manual
addresses. If the latter, enter addresses for the primary and secondary DNS
servers. To avoid connectivity problems, ensure that you enter the addresses
correctly.
DHCP WAN
For DHCP client connections, you can choose the MAC address of the router
to register with the ISP. In some cases you may need to clone the LAN host’s
MAC address if the ISP is registered with that LAN host.
Some ISP’s allow for multiple concurrent PPPoE sessions (it is most
common in Japan). Each connection can have its own specific
authentication requirements and will provide unique IP, gateway, and DNS
address parameters to the associated WAN port.
The PPPoE Profiles page offers a convenient way to maintain multiple
PPPoE accounts, which can then be associated with one of the available
WAN interfaces. Once configured, a PPPoE profile name can be selected
on the WAN configuration page to reduce the configuration requirements for
that WAN port.
The PPPoE profile is referenced on the WAN Configuration page. The List of
PPPoE profiles for a particular WAN (see figure below) outlines the available
profile and their status and authentication type.
Figure 12: List of configured PPPoE profiles
To create a new PPPoE profile, select Add in the PPPoE Profile page. Each
profile is associated to one of the two WAN ports. Similar to the PPPoE
configuration options in the WAN configuration page, you need to define the
ISP logon credentials, authentication type, and connectivity settings for the
29
