can switch your lamps or aquarium pumps on and off from anywhere in the world. The prerequisite is that you connect them to smart home devices from AVM (like FRITZ!DECT 200, for instance) which are integrated in the home network of your FRITZ!Box. You can remote control up to 10 switchable outlets over your MyFRITZ! access.

Preconfigured FRITZ!Box User: ftpuser

The first time you open the overview of user accounts under “System / FRITZ!Box Users / Users”, the user “ftpuser” is already listed.

This is because the FRITZ!NAS service, in which the storage media connected with the FRITZ!Box are summarized, can also be accessed over the protocols SAMBA and FTP. If you access FRITZ!NAS via Windows file sharing or an FTP client, your users must be authenticated by entering “ftpuser”.

The preconfigured user account ensures smooth access to FRITZ!NAS over SAMBA and FTP. Therefore it is important not to delete or rename this user.

If you use only the login method with FRITZ!Box user name and password to access your FRITZ!Box, you can also set up a user account with NAS access rights.

FRITZ!Box 7430 40

Page 41

Using FRITZ!Box Users

You can delete the preconfigured “ftpuser” account only if you always use your FRITZ!Box user account to access the FRITZ!Box, be it from home or via the Internet. In every other case deleting this user account will make it impossible to use the NAS services of the FRITZ!Box, or allow only restricted use.

Quick Access to Your Own User Account

The upper navigation bar of the FRITZ!Box shows the name of the FRITZ!Box user account with which the user is currently logged in to the user interface.

Click the user name to control basic functions of this user account:

• Changing the e-mail address

Select the “Change e-mail Address” entry to assign a different e-mail address to the current user account.

• Changing the password

With the “Change Password” entry you can change the password of the current user account.

• Logging off

Click “Log Off” here to leave the FRITZ!Box user interface.

Log off of the FRITZ!Box user interface before you surf the web with your browser. If you do not click on the FRITZ!Box user interface for a period of longer than sixty minutes, you will be logged off automatically.

“No login” Mode

8.5 “No login” Mode

From within the home network you can operate the FRITZ!Box user interface without enabling password protection. This means that every user who accesses the interface of your FRITZ!Box can view and change all information and settings.

In the “No login” mode, your private information is not sufficiently protected from malicious programs or unwelcome activities. Therefore we urgently advise against using the FRITZ!Box without password protection!

Protect your FRITZ!Box by defining a password for the FRITZ!Box user interface. To do this, go to the “System / FRITZ!Box Users / Login to the Home Network” menu and select one of the password protection methods.

Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use

Permitted Websites

Access to websites with inappropriate content can be blocked using filters. The following filtering options are available:

• Prevent HTTP queries: You can prevent HTTPS queries.

HTTPS is used, for instance, to open Facebook, Gmail and online banking.

• Permit websites with a whitelist:

– The whitelist is a filter list that should be used when

access should be limited to just a few websites.

– Access to web pages entered in the whitelist is per-

mitted.

– When a whitelist is used, only those websites includ-

ed in the list can be opened, and no others.

• Block websites with a blacklist:

– The blacklist is a filter list that should be used when

access to most websites is to be permitted, and the number of blocked websites is relatively small.

– Access to web pages entered in the blacklist is

blocked.

– If the blacklist is used, no website can be opened by

entering its IP address. This is also true for websites that are not included in the blacklist.

– For applications that address websites only directly

via the IP address, for instance virus scanner update software, the relevant IP addresses can be released for access by entering them in the exception list of “Permitted IP addresses”.

Internet Access by Network Applications

You can list network applications for which you would like to block communication with the Internet. For instance, you can prohibit file sharing programs or online games from communicating over the Internet.

Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet

12.2 Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet

With default settings in the FRITZ!Box, programs on your computer and LAN cannot be accessed from the Internet.

For applications like online games and file sharing software or server services like HTTP, FTP, VPN, terminal and remote access servers, you have to make your computer accessible for other Internet users.

Port Forwarding

Using port forwarding you allow incoming connections from the Internet. By releasing certain ports for incoming connections, you grant controlled access to the computers in your network to other Internet users.

The following port forwarding methods are possible in the FRITZ!Box:

PING IPv4:

The FRITZ!Box responds to ping inquiries from the Internet addressed to the IPv4 address of the FRITZ!Box.

IPv6:

The FRITZ!Box responds to ping inquiries from the Internet addressed to the IPv6 address of the FRITZ!Box. Additionally, you can set up PING6 port forwarding rules for each computer in the home network since each computer has its own globally valid IPv6 address.

TCP

UDP

IPv4:

Within IPv4 networks you can open the FRITZ!Box firewall for the protocols TCP and UDP when entering the port range. One port can be opened for exactly one computer.

IPv6:

Within IPv6 networks you can open the FRITZ!Box firewall for the protocols TCP and UDP when entering the port range. One port can be opened for each computer in the network.

FRITZ!Box 7430 63

Page 64

Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet

ESP

GRE

Exposed host

(Open firewall completely)

IPv4:

Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall for the two protocols ESP and GRE, which do not use ports.

IPv4:

Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall completely for one computer. This computer is then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box firewall. If individual ports are already open for other computers, then data packets for these ports are not forwarded to the exposed host, but to the other computer instead.

IPv6:

Within IPv6 networks you can open the firewall completely for each computer. These computers are then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box firewall.

Configuring Port Forwarding in the FRITZ!Box

• IPv4:

– Port forwarding is configured in the “Internet / Per-

mit Access” menu, on the “Port Forwarding” page.

• IPv6:

– Port forwarding is set up in the “Internet / Permit Ac-

cess” menu, on the “IPv6” page.

Determining the IPv4 Address for Accessing the FRITZ!Box

If you have enabled ports for forwarding in the FRITZ!Box, other Internet users can access your computers at the IP address assigned to your FRITZ!Box by the Internet service provider. This is a public IPv4 address.

Here is how to determine the public IPv4 address of the FRITZ!Box:

1. Open any Internet page in order to establish an Internet

connection.

Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address

2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.

3. Enable the advanced view.

4. The FRITZ!Box’s public IPv4 address is displayed on the

“Overview” page in the “Connections” area.

Can Always Be Reached, Even When the IP Address Changes

Every time the Internet connection is interrupted, the Internet service provider re-assigns the IP address. The IP address may change in the process. Therefore it is a good idea to use MyFRITZ! or dynamic DNS so that the IP address can always be reached under the same name. For more information about MyFRITZ!, see the chapter MyFRITZ!: Accessing the

FRITZ!Box from Anywhere on page 134. For more information

about dynamic DNS, see the section Dynamic DNS: Name Ins-

tead of IP Address on page 65.

12.3 Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address

Dynamic DNS is an Internet service that makes it possible for the FRITZ!Box to remain accessible from the Internet at all times under a fixed name, even though the public IP address changes.

Dynamic DNS can be used as an alternative to MyFRITZ!. Both services can be used in parallel.

You must register with a dynamic DNS provider to use this service. When you register, you agree on the fixed name (domain name) at which your FRITZ!Box should be accessible from the Internet. You also define a user name and password.

Every time the IP address changes, the FRITZ!Box transmits the new IP address to the dynamic DNS provider in the form of an update request. Then the domain name is assigned to the current IP address by the dynamic DNS provider.

Configuring Dynamic DNS in the FRITZ!Box

1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.

2. Enable the advanced view.

3. Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.

4. Select the “Dynamic DNS” page and set up dynamic

DNS. See the Help available in the FRITZ!Box user interface for more information.

12.4 Access from the Internet via HTTPS, FTP and FTPS

Over the Internet it is possible to access the user interface of the FRITZ!Box. With a laptop, smartphone or tablet PC you can configure settings in the FRITZ!Box user interface.

Requirements for Access over the Internet

• Access to the user interface: Every user who would like

to access the FRITZ!Box externally from the Internet requires a FRITZ!Box user account which is authorized for access from the Internet.

• Access to storage: Every user who would like to access

the storage of the FRITZ!Box externally from the Internet requires a FRITZ!Box user account with the rights to access from the Internet and to access the contents on the storage media.

• The protocols for the desired access must be enabled in

the FRITZ!Box.

HTTPS, FTP and FTPS

The protocols HTTPS, FTP and FTPS are used for access over the Internet.

• HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)

HTTPS is an Internet protocol for bug-proof communication between the web server and the browser in the World Wide Web.

Enable this protocol to allow access to the FRITZ!Box from the Internet.

• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

FTP is a network protocol for transmitting files in IP networks.

Enable this protocol to allow access by FTP to the FRITZ!Box storage media from the Internet.

FRITZ!Box 7430 66

Page 67

Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access

• FTPS (FTP over SSL)

FTPS is a method for encrypting the FTP protocol.

Enable this protocol to secure transmission over FTP.

Enabling HTTPS, FTP and FTPS in the FRITZ!Box

1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.

2. Enable the advanced view.

3. Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.

4. Select the “FRITZ!Box Services” page and enable the

protocols you need. See also the Help on the user interface.

12.5 Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access

Prioritization is a function you can use to specify that network applications and network devices be treated with higher or lower priority when they access the Internet connection. For example, you may wish to ensure that applications like Internet telephony, IPTV and video on demand are always treated with higher priority than other applications. You can also specify that file-sharing applications like eMule and BitTorrent always have to wait behind online games.

Categories for Prioritization

There are three categories for prioritization: “Real-time applications”, “Prioritized applications” and “Background applications”.

Network applications and network devices are assigned to the categories using rules.

Real-time Applications

This category is suitable for applications with high demands on transmission rates and reaction times (for example, Internet telephony, IPTV, video on demand).

• Network applications of this category always have priori-

ty over other applications accessing the Internet at the same time.

FRITZ!Box 7430 67

Page 68

Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access

• When the Internet connection is working at full capacity,

the network packets of the applications of this category will always be sent first. In this case data from network applications assigned to other categories will be transmitted later.

• If multiple network applications are assigned to this cat-

egory, then they must share the available capacity.

• Whenever Internet telephony is included in this catego-

ry, this application always has the highest priority, even over other real-time applications.

Prioritized Applications

This category is suitable for applications that require a fast reaction time (for example, company access, terminal applications, games).

• For network applications prioritized in this category,

90% of the FRITZ!Box’s upload bandwidth is available, as long as no application from the “Real-time applications” category requires bandwidth. The remaining 10% of the upload bandwidth is available for applications that are prioritized in lower categories or not prioritized at all.

• If multiple network applications are assigned to the “Pri-

oritized applications” category, then they must share the available capacity.

Background Applications

This category is suitable for applications that do not require any high transmission rates and which are not time-critical (for example, peer-to-peer services or automatic updates).

• Network applications assigned to this category are al-

ways treated with the lowest priority when the Internet connection is working at full capacity. So whenever an application from a different category or a non-prioritized application requires the entire bandwidth, all background applications must wait until bandwidth capacity becomes available again.

FRITZ!Box 7430 68

Page 69

Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access

• If no other network applications are active, then the

background applications receive the entire bandwidth.

Prioritization Method in the FRITZ!Box

The following techniques are used in the FRITZ!Box to send data packets according to their prioritization:

• Change in the order in which packets are sent to the

Internet (upstream direction)

The order of the packets the FRITZ!Box receives from the Internet (downstream direction) cannot be changed.

• Discard low-priority packets in order to ensure the trans-

mission of higher-priority packets. This technique is used whenever more packets are supposed to be sent to the Internet than the upstream transmission rate of the Internet connection allows.

• As long as no packets are being sent from higher-priority

applications, the full transmission rate of the Internet connection is available for low-priority packets.

Configuring Prioritization in the FRITZ!Box

1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.

2. Enable the advanced view.

3. Configure prioritization in the “Internet / Filters / Prioriti-

zation” menu.

Supplementary Software for VPN

All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a configuration file. The terminals involved in any VPN must receive this file.

Individual computers that are networked over a VPN require a VPN client.

• The “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN Connection” Wizard

AVM provides the “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN Connection” software for creating configuration files. This program is a Wizard that takes you step by step through the VPN configuration. All of the necessary VPN settings, like the encryption method and access rules, are set automatically. The resulting configuration files must be imported to the terminals of the VPN tunnel. At the terminal with the FRITZ!Box the configuration file is then imported to the FRITZ!Box. The VPN parameters in these files can be adjusted manually to connect to products by other manufacturers.

• The “FRITZ!VPN” VPN client

AVM offers the “FRITZ!VPN” software as a VPN client.

Both the Wizard and the client can be downloaded free of charge from the VPN Service page on the AVM website:

Freely Selectable DNS Servers

12.7 Freely Selectable DNS Servers

DNS servers are preset in the FRITZ!Box for IPv4 and IPv6.

These are the DNS servers assigned by the Internet service provider.

For both IPv4 and IPv6, the preset DNS server can be replaced by a free DNS server. Free DNS servers include, for instance, OpenDNS and Google DNS.

Here is how to change the DNS server entry:

The “DNSv6” page is displayed only if you enabled IPv6 support for the FRITZ!Box on the “IPv6” page.

1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.

2. Enable the advanced view.

3. In the “Internet / Account Information” menu, select the

“DNS Server” page.

4. Change the settings for the DNS servers.

12.8 DNSSEC: Security for DNS Queries

DNSSEC is short for Domain Name System Security Extensions. As the name says, this is an extension of DNS, the domain name system.

DNSSEC ensures that both the DNS server and the information returned by the DNS server are authentic, or genuine.

Security with DNSSEC

When a home user surfs the web, she or he sends queries to the Internet by entering URLs in the address field of the browser. A URL is the name of a website that is easy to remember, for instance en.avm.de DNS server first. The DNS server resolves the URL into the corresponding IP address. There is one unique IP address for every URL.

FRITZ!Box 7430 72

. Every query is sent to the

Page 73

IPv6: The New Internet Protocol

The home user relies on the authenticity of the IP address returned by the DNS server. Authentic means that the response is the IP address of the desired website, and not a faked IP address that leads to a fake website. DNSSEC can ensure that the returned addresses are authentic.

Support with the FRITZ!Box

The FRITZ!Box supports DNSSEC queries over UDP.

The FRITZ!Box has a DNS proxy. The computers in the home network use the FRITZ!Box as a DNS server. The FRITZ!Box forwards DNSSEC queries from the home network to the Internet. The FRITZ!Box forwards DNSSEC responses from the Internet to the home network. The DNSSEC information must be validated on the computer in the home network. For this DNSSEC must be supported in the operating system.

12.9 IPv6: The New Internet Protocol

IPv6 stands for Internet protocol version 6 and is the successor to IPv4.

The FRITZ!Box supports the new IPv6 web protocol and can establish IPv6 connections:

• IPv6 support can be switched on in the FRITZ!Box user

interface.

• For simultaneous use of IPv6 and IPv4, the FRITZ!Box

supports Dual Stack and Dual-Stack Lite. This means that the FRITZ!Box can communicate with both IPv4 and IPv6 domains in the Internet.

• The FRITZ!Box supports native IPv6 and IPv6 with a tun-

nel protocol. Native IPv6 means that your Internet service provider supports IPv6 directly on your line.

You can establish connections in the IPv6 range of the Internet only if IPv6 is installed and enabled on the computers in your home network.

• IPv6 is already installed and enabled in the Windows 8,

Windows 7 and Windows Vista operating systems.

• IPv6 has been available in the Mac OS X operating sys-

tems since Mac OS 10.

12.10 Mobile Network: Replacing Faulty DSL

Internet access over the mobile telephone network can be set up so that the mobile telephone connection is established automatically whenever the DSL connection fails. This guarantees Internet access even when the DSL connection is fails. A USB modem for mobile Internet access (LTE/UMTS/HSPA) and a SIM card from a mobile communications provider are required for this.

Here is how to set up the mobile telephone connection as a substitute upon DSL failure:

1. Insert the USB modem in the USB port on the FRITZ!Box.

2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.

In the “Internet” menu, the sub-menu “Mobile Communications” is displayed.

The “Mobile Communications” menu is not available until the UMTS/HSPA modem has been connected to the USB port of the FRITZ!Box.

3. Select the setting “Automatically enable the mobile con-

nection when the DSL connection is disrupted”.

4. Configure the settings for your Internet connection over

the mobile communications network. In the Help of the FRITZ!Box user interface you can find detailed instructions.

LISP: FRITZ!Box as a LISP Router

12.11 LISP: FRITZ!Box as a LISP Router

LISP is a routing architecture which separates information about location and identity. There are two IP addresses: one for the location and one for the identity.

The FRITZ!Box can be configured as a LISP router.

• This chapter address system administrators.

• It presents a short introduction to LISP.

• You receive an overview about the possibilities for using

LISP.

• This section includes instructions on how to configure

the FRITZ!Box as a LISP router.

Definition and Components

LISP: Definition

LISP: Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol

IP protocol LISP is a protocol for the transmission of IP

packets.

IP address pair LISP uses IP address pairs:

• One IP address for identification, which is

called the EID (Endpoint Identifier). The EID can be the IP address of a host or an entire IP subnet.

• One IP address for the location, known as

the RLOC (Routing Locator). The RLOC is the IP address of the LISP router.

Tunnel protocol LISP is a tunnel protocol.

A LISP packet consists of an internal IP packet and an additional external header. The header of the internal packet contains the EID; the external header contains the RLOC.

FRITZ!Box 7430 76

Page 77

LISP: FRITZ!Box as a LISP Router

Properties of RLOC and EID

RLOC • specifies the location where the addressed network

• is assigned by the Internet service provider

• is a public IP address

• is contained in the external header of the LISP packet

• can be an IPv4 address

• can be an IPv6 address

EID

• identifies a network (network segment or network

• is assigned by the LISP provider

• is contained in the internal header of the LISP packet

• can be an IPv4 address

• can be an IPv6 address

• can be a public IP address

• can be a private, non-public IP address

The ETR accepts IP packets whose destination IP address contained in the external header is the ETR’s own RLOC. ETR unpacks the LISP packets.

The ITR accepts IP packets from members of the local IP network (EID network) and packs them into LISP packets. The external header of the LISP packet contains the RLOC of the destination network (remote EID network) as the destination address.

tion between LISP sites and non-LISP sites. On the LISP side it works like a LISP router; on the non-LISP side it works like a native IP router.

ETR and ITR. xTR is also known as a tunnel endpoint or encapsulation endpoint.

Possible Uses

• LISP is useful if technical or organization reasons make

it preferable to keep the same IP addresses, even when you switch Internet service providers.

Mobility example: When you change locations, devices do not lose their identity (host devices, VM).

• LISP is suitable for communication between IPv4 and

IPv6 networks.

• Transport of address families: IPv4 via IPv4, IPv4 via

IPv6, IPv6 via IPv6, IPv6 via IPv4

Example: The encapsulation of IPv6 packets in IPv4 headers allows IPv6 web sites to be connected over IPv4.
