After finished basic configuration of the router, you can access Internet with ease. For the
people who want to adjust more setting for suiting his/her request, please refer to this chapter
for getting detailed information about the advanced configuration of this router. As for other
examples of application, please refer to chapter 4.
Quick Start Wizard offers user an easy method to quick setup the connection mode for the
router. Moreover, if you want to adjust more settings for different WAN modes, please go to
WAN group and click the Internet Access link.
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:
Weebb
W
Coonnffiigguurraattiioonn
C
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,
VigorPro5510 adds the function of 3G network connection for such purpose. By connecting
3G USB Modem to the USB port of VigorPro5510, it can support
HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS/GSM and the future 3G standard (HSUPA, etc).
VigorPro5510 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 four LAN ports on the router to access Internet. Also, they can
access Internet via SuperG wireless function of VigorPro5510G, and enjoy the powerful
firewall, bandwidth management and VPN features of VigorPro5510 series.
After connecting into the router, 3G USB Modem will be regarded as the second WAN port.
However, the original Ethernet WAN1 still can be used and Load-Balance can be done in the
router. Besides, 3G USB Modem in WAN2 also can be used as backup device. Therefore,
when WAN1 is 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.
Below shows the menu items for WAN.

This section will introduce some general settings of Internet and explain the connection
modes for WAN1 and WAN2 in details.
This router supports dual WAN function. It allows users to access Internet and combine the
bandwidth of the dual WAN 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. Please configure WAN1 and WAN2

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.

When you have several subnets in your LAN, sometimes a more effective and quicker way
for connection is the Static routes function rather than other method. You may simply set
rules to forward data from one specified subnet to another specified subnet without the
presence of RIP.
You can group local hosts by physical ports and create up to 4 virtual LANs. To manage the
communication between different groups, please set up rules in Virtual LAN (VLAN)

DHCP Server
Configuration
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.
If you want to use another DHCP server in the network other than
the Vigor Router’s, you can let Relay Agent help you to redirect the
DHCP request to the specified location.
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 – (1

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 192.168.1.1, the starting IP address must
be 192.168.1.2 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 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.

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:
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.

subnets (ex. 192.168.10.0/24) can access the Internet via the router, and continuously
exchange of IP routing information with different subnets.

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.
Note: 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
Port Redirection Table provides 20 port-mapping entries for the internal hosts.
Press any number under Index to access into next page for configuring port redirection.

Mode Two options (Single and Range) are provided here for you to
choose. To set a range for the specific service, select Range. In
Range mode, if the public port (start port and end port) and the
starting IP of private IP had been entered, the system will calculate
and display the ending IP of private IP automatically.
Service Name Enter the description of the specific network service.
Protocol Select the transport layer protocol (TCP or UDP).
WAN Interface Chose the WAN interface for apply ing port redirection. The default
setting is All which means all the incoming data from any port will
be redirected to WAN1 and WAN2 at the same time.
Public Port Specify which port can be redirected to the specified Private IP
and Port of the internal host. If you choose Range as the port
redirection mode, you will see two boxes on this field. Simply type
the required numbers on these two boxes.
Private IP Specify the private IP address of the internal host providing the
service. If you choose Range as the port redirection mode, you will
see two boxes on this field. Simply type the IP address in the first
box (as the starting point). The second one is assigned
automatically after you type the private port number below.
Private Port Specify the private port number of the service offered by the
internal host. After you enter the proper number in this box, the
second box of Private IP address will be assigned accordingly.
Active Check this box to activate the port-mapping entry you have
defined.
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.
VigorPro5510 Series User’s Guide
57
You then will access the admin screen of by suffixing the IP address with 8080, e.g.,
http://192.168.1.1:8080 instead of port 80.

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.
Note: The inherent 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.

While the broadband users demand more bandwidth for multimedia, interactive applications,
or distance learning, security has been always the most concerned. The firewall of the Vigor
router helps to protect your local network against attack from unauthorized outsiders. It also
restricts users in the local network from accessing the Internet. Furthermore, it can filter out
specific packets that trigger the router to build an unwanted outgoing connection.
FFiirreewwaallll FFaacciilliittiieess
The users on the LAN are provided with secured protection by the following firewall
facilities:
z User-configurable IP filter (Call Filter/ Data Filter).
z Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI): tracks packets and denies unsolicited incoming data
z Selectable Denial of Service (DoS) /Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks protection
z URL Content Filter
IIPP FFiilltteerrss
Depending on whether there is an existing Internet connection, or in other words “the WAN
link status is up or down”, the IP filter architecture categorizes traffic into two: Call Filter
and Data Filter.
zCall Filter - When there is no existing Internet connection, Call Filter is applied to all
traffic, all of which should be outgoing. It will check packets according to the filter
rules. If legal, the packet will pass. Then the router shall “initiate a call” to build the
Internet connection and send the packet to Internet.
zData Filter - When there is an existing Internet connection, Data Filter is applied to
incoming and outgoing traffic. It will check packets according to the filter rules. If legal,
the packet will pass the router.
The following illustrations are flow charts explaining how router will treat incoming traffic
and outgoing traffic respectively.
Stateful inspection is a firewall architecture that works at the network layer. Unlike legacy
static packet filtering, which examines a packet based on the information in its header,
stateful inspection builds up a state machine to track each connection traversing all interfaces
of the firewall and makes sure they are valid. The stateful firewall of Vigor router not just
examine the header information also monitor the state of the connection.
The DoS Defense functionality helps you to detect and mitigate the DoS attack. The attacks
are usually categorized into two types, the flooding-type attacks and the vulnerability attacks.
The flooding-type attacks will attempt to exhaust all your system's resource while the
vulnerability attacks will try to paralyze the system by offending the vulnerabilities of the
protocol or operation system.
The DoS Defense function enables the Vigor router to inspect every incoming packet based
on the attack signature database. Any malicious packet that might duplicate itself to paralyze
the host in the secure LAN will be strictly blocked and a Syslog message will be sent as
warning, if you set up Syslog server.
Also the Vigor router monitors the traffic. Any abnormal traffic flow violating the pre-defined
parameter, such as the number of thresholds, is identified as an attack and the Vigor router
will activate its defense mechanism to mitigate in a real-time manner.
The below shows the attack types that DoS/DDoS defense function can detect:
Users might have much more confidence about the security in the network for data
transmission if the functions of anti-virus and anti-intrusion are activated. The VigorPro
router offers the mechanism of anti-virus and anti-intrusion. What you have to do is to set the
proper profiles and invoke them. The anti-virus profile and anti-intrusion configuration can
be set in Anti-Virus menu (refer to section 3.7) and Anti-Intrusion menu (refer to section 3.6).
However, the mechanism must be enabled either in Firewall>>General Setup or
Firewall>>Filter Setup web page. After you choose proper Anti-Virus profile and check
Anti-Intrusion box, the Anti-Virus and Anti-Intrusion LEDs on the front panel will light up.

Mode
Some on-line games (for example: Half Life) will use lots of
fragmented UDP packets to transfer game data. Instinctively as a
secure firewall, Vigor router will reject these fragmented packets
to prevent attack unless you enable “Accept large incoming fragmented UDP or ICMP Packets”. By checking this box, you
can play these kinds of on-line games. If security concern is in
higher priority, you cannot enable “Accept large incoming fragmented UDP or ICMP Packets”.
Check this box to enable transparent function for such router. It
is not necessary for users to re-organize the network or configure
the subnet settings for each PC connected under such router.
However, the configured Anti-Virus and Anti-Intrusion profiles
can be applied to PCs connected behind vigor router to have the
best security. The following picture explains the basic structure
for using transparent mode for vigor router.
PCs with subnet “172.16.x.x” connected under VigorPro 5510
will be protected by security settings enabled and configured on
the web pages of Vigor router. When the transparent mode has
been checked, hackers from Internet do not sense the existence of
vigor router, therefore they cannot attack the router.

router will ignore any IP packets with IP option field in the
datagram header. The reason for limitation is IP option appears to
be a vulnerability of the security for the LAN because it will carry
significant information, such as security, TCC (closed user group)
parameters, a series of Internet addresses, routing messages...etc.
An eavesdropper outside might learn the details of your private
networks.
Block Land Check the box to enforce the Vigor router to defense the Land
attacks. The Land attack combines the SYN attack technology with
IP spoofing. A Land attack occurs when an attacker sends spoofed
SYN packets with the identical source and destination addresses, as
well as the port number to victims.
Block SmurfCheck the box to activate the Block Smurf function. The Vigor
router will ignore any broadcasting ICMP echo request.
Block trace routerCheck the box to enforce the Vigor router not to forward any trace
route packets.
Block SYN fragmentCheck the box to activate the Block SYN fragment function. The
Vigor router will drop any packets having SYN flag and more
fragment bit set.
Block Fraggle AttackCheck the box to activate the Block fraggle Attack function. Any
broadcast UDP packets received from the Internet is blocked.
Activating the DoS/DDoS defense functionality might block some
legal packets. For example, when you activate the fraggle attack
defense, all broadcast UDP packets coming from the Internet are
blocked. Therefore, the RIP packets from the Internet might be
dropped.
Block TCP flag scanCheck the box to activate the Block TCP flag scan function. Any
TCP packet with anomaly flag setting is dropped. Those scanning
activities include no flag scan, FIN without ACK scan, SYN FINscan, Xmas scan and full Xmas scan.
Block Tear DropCheck the box to activate the Block Tear Drop function. Many
machines may crash when receiving ICMP datagrams (packets) that
exceed the maximum length. To avoid this type of attack, the Vigor
router is designed to be capable of discarding any fragmented ICMP
packets with a length greater than 1024 octets.
Block Ping of Death Check the box to activate the Block Ping of Death function. This
Block ICMP Fragment Check the box to activate the Block ICMP fragment function. Any
VigorPro5510 Series User’s Guide
attack involves the perpetrator sending overlapping packets to the
target hosts so that those target hosts will hang once they
re-construct the packets. The Vigor routers will block any packets
realizing this attacking activity.
ICMP packets with more fragment bit set are dropped.

Block Unknown
Protocol
Check the box to activate the Block Unknown Protocol function.
Individual IP packet has a protocol field in the datagram header to
indicate the protocol type running over the upper layer. However,
the protocol types greater than 100 are reserved and undefined at
this time. Therefore, the router should have ability to detect and
reject this kind of packets.
Warning MessagesWe provide Syslog function for user to retrieve message from Vigor
router. The user, as a Syslog Server, shall receive the report sending
from Vigor router which is a Syslog Client.
All the warning messages related to DoS defense will be sent to user
and user can review it through Syslog daemon. Look for the
keyword DoS in the message, followed by a name to indicate what
kind of attacks is detected.

For IPs in a range, service ports in a limited range and keywords usually will be applied for
configuring router’s settings, we can define them with objects and bind them with groups for
using conveniently. Later, we can select that object/service for applying. For example, all the
IPs in the same department can be defined with an IP object (a range of IP address).
