IP means Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based Network including routers, print
server, and host PCs, needs an IP address to identify its location on the network. To avoid
address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with the Network Information Centre
(NIC). Having a unique IP address is mandatory for those devices participated in the public
network but not in the private TCP/IP local area networks (LANs), such as host PCs under the
management of a router since they do not need to be accessed by the public. Hence, the NIC
has reserved certain addresses that will never be registered publicly. These are known as
private IP addresses, and are listed in the following ranges:
29
Vigor3200 Series User’s Guide
From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
As the router plays a role to manage and further protect its LAN, it interconnects groups of
host PCs. Each of them has a private IP address assigned by the built-in DHCP server of the
Vigor router. The router itself will also use the default private IP address: 192.168.1.1 to
communicate with the local hosts. Meanwhile, Vigor router will communicate with other
network devices through a public IP address. When the data flow passing through, the
Network Address Translation (NAT) function of the router will dedicate to translate
public/private addresses, and the packets will be delivered to the correct host PC in the local
area network. Thus, all the host PCs can share a common Internet connection.
In ADSL deployment, the PPP (Point to Point)-style authentication and authorization is
required for bridging customer premises equipment (CPE). Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet (PPPoE) connects a network of hosts via an access device to a remote access
concentrator or aggregation concentrator. This implementation provides users with significant
ease of use. Meanwhile it provides access control, billing, and type of service according to
user requirement.
When a router begins to connect to your ISP, a serial of discovery process will occur to ask for
a connection. Then a session will be created. Your user ID and password is authenticated via
PAP or CHAP with RADIUS authentication system. And your IP address, DNS server, and
other related information will usually be assigned by your ISP.
For 3G mobile communication through Access Point is more and more popular, Vigor3200
adds the function of 3G network connection for such purpose. By connecting 3G USB Modem
to the USB port of Vigor3200, it can support HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS and the future 3G
standard (HSUPA, etc). Vigor3200n with 3G USB Modem allows you to receive 3G signals at
any place such as your car or certain location holding outdoor activity and share the bandwidth
for using by more people. Users can use the LAN port on the router to access Internet. Also,
they can access Internet via 802.11n wireless function of Vigor3200n, and enjoy the powerful
firewall, bandwidth management, VPN features of Vigor3200n series.
After connecting into the router, 3G USB Modem will be regarded as the fifth WAN port.
However, the other Ethernet WAN ports still can be used and Load-Balance can be done in the
router. Besides, 3G USB Modem in WAN5 also can be used as backup device. Therefore,
when other Ethernet WAN port is not available, the router will use 3.5G for supporting
Vigor3200 Series User’s Guide

automatically. The supported 3G USB Modem will be listed on DrayTek web site. Please visit
www.draytek.com for more detailed information.

pages) and one USB port (represented with WAN5 in web pages) offered by the router. For
this router supports multiple WANs function, it allows users to access Internet and combine
the bandwidth of the multiple WANs to speed up the transmission through the network. Each
WAN port can connect to different ISPs, even if the ISPs use different technology to provide
telecommunication service (such as DSL, Cable modem, etc.). If any connection problem
occurred on one of the ISP connections, all the traffic will be guided and switched to the
normal communication port for proper operation.
This webpage allows you to set general setup for WAN1 to WAN5 respectively.
From the above figure, WAN1 ~ WAN4 connect to Internet through the interface of Ethernet;
WAN5 connects to Internet via USB interface. Therefore the configuration for each WAN port
will be different slightly. Please click the WAN link under Index to open the web page for
detailed configuration.

33..22 LLAANN
Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of subnets regulated and ruled by router. The design of
network structure is related to what type of public IP addresses coming from your ISP.
33..22..11 BBaassiiccss ooff LLAANN
The most generic function of Vigor router is NAT. It creates a private subnet of your own. As
mentioned previously, the router will talk to other public hosts on the Internet by using public
IP address and talking to local hosts by using its private IP address. What NAT does is to
translate the packets from public IP address to private IP address to forward the right packets
to the right host and vice versa. Besides, Vigor router has a built-in DHCP server that assigns
private IP address to each local host. See the following diagram for a briefly understanding.
In some special case, you may have a public IP subnet from your ISP such as
220.135.240.0/24. This means that you can set up a public subnet or call second subnet that
each host is equipped with a public IP address. As a part of the public subnet, the Vigor router
will serve for IP routing to help hosts in the public subnet to communicate with other public
hosts or servers outside. Therefore, the router should be set as the gateway for public hosts.
Vigor router will exchange routing information with neighboring routers using the RIP to
accomplish IP routing. This allows users to change the information of the router such as IP
address and the routers will automatically inform for each other.

routers.
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The
router by factory default acts a DHCP server for your network so
it automatically dispatch related IP settings to any local user
configured as a DHCP client. It is highly recommended that you
leave the router enabled as a DHCP server if you do not have a
DHCP server for your network.
Enable Server - Let the router assign IP address to every host in
the LAN.
Disable Server – Let you manually assign IP address to every
host in the LAN.
Relay Agent –Specify which subnet that DHCP server is located
the relay agent should redirect the DHCP request to.
Start IP Address - Enter a value of the IP address pool for the
DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the 1st
IP address of your router is 192.168.1.10, the starting IP address
must be 192.168.1.11 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254.
IP Pool Counts - Enter the maximum number of PCs that you
want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. The default is
49
Vigor3200 Series User’s Guide
50 and the maximum is 253.
Gateway IP Address - Enter a value of the gateway IP address
for the DHCP server. The value is usually as same as the 1st IP
address of the router, which means the router is the default
gateway.
DHCP Server IP Address for Relay Agent - Set the IP address
of the DHCP server you are going to use so the Relay Agent can
help to forward the DHCP request to the DHCP server.
DNS Server IP Address
DNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet host must
have a unique IP address, also they may have a human-friendly,
easy to remember name such as www.yahoo.com. The DNS
server converts the user-friendly name into its equivalent IP
address.
Force DNS manual setting -

Access server (PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP or DHCP server).
Primary IP Address -You must specify a DNS server IP address
here because your ISP should provide you with usually more
than one DNS Server. If your ISP does not provide it, the router
will automatically apply default DNS Server IP address:
194.109.6.66 to this field.
Secondary IP Address - You can specify secondary DNS server
IP address here because your ISP often provides you more than
one DNS Server. If your ISP does not provide it, the router will
automatically apply default secondary DNS Server IP address:
194.98.0.1 to this field.
The default DNS Server IP address can be found via Online
Status:
Force Vigor router to use DNS
Vigor3200 Series User’s Guide
If both the Primary IP and Secondary IP Address fields are left
empty, the router will assign its own IP address to local users as
a DNS proxy server and maintain a DNS cache.
If the IP address of a domain name is already in the DNS cache,
the router will resolve the domain name immediately. Otherwise,
the router forwards the DNS query packet to the external DNS
server by establishing a WAN (e.g. DSL/Cable) connection.
50
33..33 NNAATT
Usually, the router serves as an NAT (Network Address Translation) router. NAT is a
mechanism that one or more private IP addresses can be mapped into a single public one.
Public IP address is usually assigned by your ISP, for which you may get charged. Private IP
addresses are recognized only among internal hosts.
When the outgoing packets destined to some public server on the Internet reach the NAT
router, the router will change its source address into the public IP address of the router, select
the available public port, and then forward it. At the same time, the router shall list an entry in
a table to memorize this address/port-mapping relationship. When the public server response,
the incoming traffic, of course, is destined to the router’s public IP address and the router will
do the inversion based on its table. Therefore, the internal host can communicate with external
host smoothly.
The benefit of the NAT includes:
zSave cost on applying public IP address and apply efficient usage of IP address.
NAT allows the internal IP addresses of local hosts to be translated into one public IP
address, thus you can have only one IP address on behalf of the entire internal hosts.
zEnhance security of the internal network by obscuring the IP address. There are
many attacks aiming victims based on the IP address. Since the attacker cannot be aware
of any private IP addresses, the NAT function can protect the internal network.
On NAT page, you will see the private IP address defined in RFC-1918. Usually we use the
192.168.1.0/24 subnet for the router. As stated before, the NAT facility can map one or
more IP addresses and/or service ports into different specified services. In other words, the
NAT function can be achieved by using port mapping methods.
Below shows the menu items for NAT.

Port Redirection is usually set up for server related service inside the local network (LAN),
such as web servers, FTP servers, E-mail servers etc. Most of the case, you need a public IP
address for each server and this public IP address/domain name are recognized by all users.
Since the server is actually located inside the LAN, the network well protected by NAT of the
router, and identified by its private IP address/port, the goal of Port Redirection function is to
forward all access request with public IP address from external users to the mapping private IP
address/port of the server.
The port redirection can only apply to incoming traffic.
To use this function, please go to NAT page and choose Port Redirection web page. The

Note that the router has its own built-in services (servers) such as Telnet, HTTP and FTP etc.
Since the common port numbers of these services (servers) are all the same, you may need to
reset the router in order to avoid confliction.
For example, the built-in web configurator in the router is with default port 80, which may
conflict with the web server in the local network, http://192.168.1.13:80. Therefore, you need
to change the router’s http port toany one other than the default port 80 to avoid conflict,
such as 8080. This can be set in the System Maintenance >>Management Setup. You then
53
Vigor3200 Series User’s Guide

As mentioned above, Port Redirection can redirect incoming TCP/UDP or other traffic on
particular ports to the specific private IP address/port of host in the LAN. However, other IP
protocols, for example Protocols 50 (ESP) and 51 (AH), do not travel on a fixed port. Vigor
router provides a facility DMZ Host that maps ALL unsolicited data on any protocol to a
single host in the LAN. Regular web surfing and other such Internet activities from other
clients will continue to work without inappropriate interruption. DMZ Host allows a defined
internal user to be totally exposed to the Internet, which usually helps some special
applications such as NetMeeting or Internet Games etc.
The security properties of NAT are somewhat bypassed if you set up DMZ host. We suggest
you to add additional filter rules or a secondary firewall.

The ISP often provides you with a dynamic IP address when you connect to the Internet via
your ISP. It means that the public IP address assigned to your router changes each time you
access the Internet. The Dynamic DNS feature lets you assign a domain name to a dynamic
WAN IP address. It allows the router to update its online WAN IP address mappings on the
specified Dynamic DNS server. Once the router is online, you will be able to use the
registered domain name to access the router or internal virtual servers from the Internet. It is
particularly helpful if you host a web server, FTP server, or other server behind the router.
Before you use the Dynamic DNS feature, you have to apply for free DDNS service to the
DDNS service providers. The router provides up to three accounts from three different DDNS
service providers. Basically, Vigor routers are compatible with the DDNS services supplied by
most popular DDNS service providers such as www.dyndns.org, www.no-ip.com, www.dtdns.com, www.changeip.com, www.dynamic- nameserver.com. You should visit
their websites to register your own domain name for the router.
Enable the Function and Add a Dynamic DNS Account

The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol is supported to bring to network connected
devices the ease of installation and configuration which is already available for directly
connected PC peripherals with the existing Windows 'Plug and Play' system. For NAT routers,
the major feature of UPnP on the router is “NAT Traversal”. This enables applications inside
the firewall to automatically open the ports that they need to pass through a router. It is more
reliable than requiring a router to work out by itself which ports need to be opened. Further,
the user does not have to manually set up port mappings or a DMZ. UPnP is available on Windows XP and the router provide the associated support for MSN Messenger to allow full
use of the voice, video and messaging features.
Enable UPNP Service
After setting Enable UPNP Service setting, an icon of IP Broadband Connection on Router
on Windows XP/Network Connections will appear. The connection status and control status
will be able to be activated. The NAT Traversal of UPnP enables the multimedia features of
your applications to operate. This has to manually set up port mappings or use other similar
methods. The screenshots below show examples of this facility.
Vigor3200 Series User’s Guide
Accordingly, you can enable either the Connection Control Service or Connection Status Service.
62
The UPnP facility on the router enables UPnP aware applications such as MSN Messenger to
discover what are behind a NAT router. The application will also learn the external IP address
and configure port mappings on the router. Subsequently, such a facility forwards packets from
the external ports of the router to the internal ports used by the application.
The reminder as regards concern about Firewall and UPnP
Can't work with Firewall Software
Enabling firewall applications on your PC may cause the UPnP function not working
properly. This is because these applications will block the accessing ability of some network
ports.
Security Considerations
Activating the UPnP function on your network may incur some security threats. You should
consider carefully these risks before activating the UPnP function.
¾Some Microsoft operating systems have found out the UPnP weaknesses and hence
you need to ensure that you have applied the latest service packs and patches.
¾Non-privileged users can control some router functions, including removing and
adding port mappings.

Vigor3200 Series User’s Guide
The UPnP function dynamically adds port mappings on behalf of some UPnP-aware
applications. When the applications terminate abnormally, these mappings may not be

Over recent years, the market for wireless communications has enjoyed tremendous growth.
Wireless technology now reaches or is capable of reaching virtually every location on the
surface of the earth. Hundreds of millions of people exchange information every day via
wireless communication products. The Vigor “n” model, a.k.a. Vigor wireless router, is
designed for maximum flexibility and efficiency of a small office/home. Any authorized staff
can bring a built-in WLAN client PDA or notebook into a meeting room for conference
without laying a clot of LAN cable or drilling holes everywhere. Wireless LAN enables high
mobility so WLAN users can simultaneously access all LAN facilities just like on a wired
LAN as well as Internet access
The Vigor wireless routers are equipped with a wireless LAN interface compliant with the
standard IEEE 802.11n draft 2 protocol. To boost its performance further, the Vigor Router is
also loaded with advanced wireless technology to lift up data rate up to 300 Mbps*. Hence,
you can finally smoothly enjoy stream music and video.
Note:
* The actual data throughput will vary according to the network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, network overhead and
building materials.
In an Infrastructure Mode of wireless network, Vigor wireless router plays a role as an Access
Point (AP) connecting to lots of wireless clients or Stations (STA). All the STAs will share the
same Internet connection via Vigor wireless router. The General Settings will set up the
information of this wireless network, including its SSID as identification, located channel etc.

Real-time Hardware Encryption: Vigor Router is equipped with a hardware AES encryption
engine so it can apply the highest protection to your data without influencing user experience.
Complete Security Standard Selection: To ensure the security and privacy of your wireless
communication, we provide several prevailing standards on market.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via
radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys
and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is
separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK), and
WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.
In WPA-Personal, a pre-defined key is used for encryption during data transmission. WPA
applies Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption while WPA2 applies AES.
The WPA-Enterprise combines not only encryption but also authentication.
Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA for the most secure
connection. You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs.
No matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data
protection and /or privacy on your wireless network. The Vigor wireless router is very flexible
and can support multiple secure connections with both WEP and WPA at the same time.
Separate the Wireless and the Wired LAN- WLAN Isolation enables you to isolate your
wireless LAN from wired LAN for either quarantine or limit access reasons. To isolate means
neither of the parties can access each other. To elaborate an example for business use, you
may set up a wireless LAN for visitors only so they can connect to Internet without hassle of
the confidential information leakage. For a more flexible deployment, you may add filters of
MAC addresses to isolate users’ access from wired LAN.

Note: Vigor N61 wireless adapter supports this function.
Therefore, you can use and install it into your PC for matching
with Packet-OVERDRIVE (refer to the following picture of
Vigor N61 wireless utility window, choose Enable for TxBURST on the tab of Option).
Check it to prevent from wireless sniffing and make it harder
for unauthorized clients or STAs to join your wireless LAN.
Depending on the wireless utility, the user may only see the
information except SSID or just cannot see any thing about
Vigor wireless router while site surveying. The system allows
you to set four sets of SSID for different usage. In default, the

IP means Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based Network including routers, print
server, and host PCs, needs an IP address to identify its location on the network. To avoid
address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with the Network Information Centre
(NIC). Having a unique IP address is mandatory for those devices participated in the public
network but not in the private TCP/IP local area networks (LANs), such as host PCs under the
management of a router since they do not need to be accessed by the public. Hence, the NIC
has reserved certain addresses that will never be registered publicly. These are known as
private IP addresses, and are listed in the following ranges:
From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
As the router plays a role to manage and further protect its LAN, it interconnects groups of
host PCs. Each of them has a private IP address assigned by the built-in DHCP server of the
Vigor router. The router itself will also use the default private IP address: 192.168.1.1 to
communicate with the local hosts. Meanwhile, Vigor router will communicate with other
network devices through a public IP address. When the data flow passing through, the
Network Address Translation (NAT) function of the router will dedicate to translate
public/private addresses, and the packets will be delivered to the correct host PC in the local
area network. Thus, all the host PCs can share a common Internet connection.
In ADSL deployment, the PPP (Point to Point)-style authentication and authorization is
required for bridging customer premises equipment (CPE). Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet (PPPoE) connects a network of hosts via an access device to a remote access
concentrator or aggregation concentrator. This implementation provides users with significant
ease of use. Meanwhile it provides access control, billing, and type of service according to
user requirement.
When a router begins to connect to your ISP, a serial of discovery process will occur to ask for
a connection. Then a session will be created. Your user ID and password is authenticated via
PAP or CHAP with RADIUS authentication system. And your IP address, DNS server, and
other related information will usually be assigned by your ISP.
For 3G mobile communication through Access Point is popular more and more, Vigor3200
adds the function of 3G network connection for such purpose. By connecting 3G USB Modem
to the USB port of Vigor3200, it can support HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS/GSM and the
future 3G standard (HSUPA, etc). Vigor3200n with 3G USB Modem allows you to receive 3G
signals at any place such as your car or certain location holding outdoor activity and share the
bandwidth for using by more people. Users can use the LAN port on the router to access
Internet. Also, they can access Internet via 802.11n wireless function of Vigor3200n, and
enjoy the powerful firewall, bandwidth management, VPN features of Vigor3200n series.
After connecting into the router, 3G USB Modem will be regarded as the fifth WAN port.
However, the other Ethernet WAN ports still can be used and Load-Balance can be done in the
router. Besides, 3G USB Modem also can be used as backup device. Therefore, when other
Ethernet WAN ports are not available, the router will use 3.5G for supporting automatically.
The supported 3G USB Modem will be listed on DrayTek web site. Please visit
www.DrayTek.com for more detailed information.

This section will introduce some general settings of Internet and explain the connection modes
for WAN1 to WAN5 in details.
There are four WAN ports (represented with WAN1, WAN2, WAN3 and WAN4 in web
pages) and one USB port (represented with WAN5 in web pages) offered by the router. For
this router supports multiple WANs function, it allows users to access Internet and combine
the bandwidth of the multiple WANs to speed up the transmission through the network. Each
WAN port can connect to different ISPs, even if the ISPs use different technology to provide
