Note:

use the Netopia R6000 Series to access the Internet via the main ofﬁce in a point-to-point scenario. If you install the Netopia R6000 Series in this type of environment, refer to the following sections for speciﬁc information you must receive from the network administrator to conﬁgure the Netopia R6000 Series properly.

Some companies act as their own ISP. For example, some organizations have branch ofﬁces that can

Finding an Internet service provider

The Netopia R6000 Series ADSL Router provides its high speed asymmetric digital connection to the Internet through a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) -- a type of mini phone company. The CLEC uses a compatible type of switching equipment known as a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) or access concentrator. The DSLAM that you connect to with your Netopia Router must be capable of handling these asymmetric connections.

If you have purchased your Netopia Router through a Netopia ISP partner, you can be sure that an account that supports ADSL connections will be available.

If your area has more than one ISP , the following considerations will help you decide which ISP is best suited for your requirements.

In determining which Internet service provider (ISP) to establish your account with, make sure that your ISP supports connections via a CLEC with a compatible DSLAM.

Use an ISP that provides Internet access through an Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and that supports the Netopia R6000 Series ADSL Router. If you would like to use an ISP that you already have a relationship with but that is not familiar with the Netopia R6000 Series, contact your distributor, or in North America call 1-800-NETOPIA. A full listing of distributors is available on the Netopia web site at www .netopia.com. Our representative can call your ISP and introduce them to the product. If necessary , we will provide them with the technical background they need to support the product.

Unique requirements

Make sure the ISP can meet any unique requirements you may have, such as:

■

Dynamic or static IP addressing Class C IP address

■

Custom domain name

■

Multiple e-mail addresses Web site hosting

■

Pricing and support

Compare pricing, service, and technical support service among various ISPs.

Endorsements

Consider recommendations from colleagues and reviews in publications. Netopia lists Netopia partner ISPs on our Web site at

http://www.netopia.com/equipment/partners/buspartner.html

Deciding on an ISP account

Your ISP may offer various Internet access account plans. Typically, these plans vary by usage charges and the number of host IP addresses supplied. Evaluate your networking needs and discuss them with your ISP before deciding on a plan for your network.

Setting up a Netopia R6000 Series account

Check whether your ISP has the Netopia R6000 Series on its list of supported products that have been tested with a particular conﬁguration. If the ISP does not have the Netopia R6000 Series on such a list, describe the Netopia R6000 Series in as much detail as needed, so your ISP account can be optimized. As appropriate, refer your ISP to Netopia’s Web site, www.netopia.com, for more information.

Obtaining an IP address

Typically, each network computer that requires Internet access requires its own unique IP address. If some or all network computers require simultaneous Internet access, obtain a block of IP host addresses large enough for each computer to have its own address, plus one for the Netopia R6000 Series.

Consider expected growth in your network when deciding on the number of addresses to obtain. Alternatively, you can use the Network Address Translation feature.

Network Address Translation provides Internet access to the network connected to the Netopia R6000 Series using only a single IP address. These routers translate between the internal or local area network (LAN) addresses and a single external IP address and route accordingly.

For more information on Network Address Translation, see Chapter 10, “IP Setup.”

Setting Up Internet Services 2-3

Obtaining information from the ISP

After your account is set up, your ISP may send you IP parameters for you to use on your LAN. While you may determine your own IP addressing scheme using NAT , there are a few key parameters that must come from your ISP.

Local LAN IP address information to obtain

Your ISP will need to provide you with the following information:

The default gateway IP address (same as remote IP address in most cases)

■

Local WAN IP address and subnet mask

■

Primary and secondary domain name server (DNS) IP addresses Domain name (usually the same as the ISP’s domain name unless you have registered for your own

■

individual domain name)

Note:

The default gateway, WAN address and mask, DNS, and domain name are all obtainable via WAN DHCP,

if your ISP supports it.

With Network Address Translation

If you are using NAT, you should obtain the following:

■

If you are connecting to a remote site using Network Address Translation on your router, your provider will not deﬁne the IP address information on your local LAN. You can deﬁne this information based on an IP conﬁguration that may already be in place for the existing network. Alternatively, you can use the default IP address used by the router, 192.168.1.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Without Network Address Translation

If you are not using Network Address Translation, you will need to obtain all of the local LAN IP address information from your ISP.

If you are not using NAT, you should obtain:

■

The number of Ethernet IP host addresses available with your account and the ﬁrst usable IP host address in the address block

■

The Ethernet IP address for your Netopia R6000 Series The Ethernet IP subnet mask address for your Netopia R6000 Series

WAN and System Conﬁguration 8-3

On ADSL WAN interfaces, the ATM connection between the router and the central ofﬁce equipment (DSLAM) is divided logically into one or more virtual circuits (VCs). A virtual circuit may be either a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) or a switched virtual circuit (SVC). Netopia Routers support PVCs.

VCs are identiﬁed by a Virtual Path Identiﬁer (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identiﬁer (VCI). A VPI is an 8-bit value between 0 and 255, inclusive, while a VCI is a 16-bit value between 0 and 65535, inclusive.

The Netopia R6000 Series supports up to eight PVCs on these interfaces.

■ Circuits support attributes in addition to their VPI and VCI values. When conﬁguring a circuit, you can

specify an optional circuit name of up to 14 characters. The circuit name is used only to identify the circuit for management purposes as a convenience to aid in selecting circuits from lists. The default circuit name is “Circuit <n>”, where <n> is some number between one and eight corresponding to the circuit’s position in the list of up to eight circuits.

■ You can also individually enable or disable a circuit without deleting it. This is useful for temporarily

removing a circuit without losing the conﬁgured attributes.

■ In order to function, each circuit must be bound to a Connection Proﬁle or to the Default Proﬁle. Among

other attributes, the proﬁle binding speciﬁes the IP addressing information for use on the circuit. Each circuit must be bound to a distinct Connection Proﬁle. You cannot bind multiple circuits to the same Connection Proﬁle. Thus it is not possible to construct point-to-multipoint meshes with ATM as is possible with Frame Relay.

■ Circuit Enabled allows you to enable or disable the circuit, using the Tab key. The default is enabled.

■ Circuit VPI allows you to specify the Virtual Path Identiﬁer (VPI) value for the circuit. The default VPI value

for ADSL is zero (0).

■ Circuit VCI allows you to specify the Virtual Channel Identiﬁer (VCI) value for the circuit. The default VCI

value for circuits on ADSL is 35.

■ Use Connection Proﬁle and Use Default Proﬁle for Circuit are visible when there is more than one enabled

circuit. Choosing Use Connection Proﬁle presents a pop-up menu that lists all of your enabled Connection Proﬁles. Choosing a proﬁle from the list statically binds the circuit to the selected proﬁle. Choosing Use Default Proﬁle for Circuit statically binds the circuit to the Default Proﬁle. When the circuit is bound to a Connection Proﬁle, Use Connection Proﬁle displays the name of the proﬁle; when the circuit is associated with the Default Proﬁle, Use Connection Proﬁle displays Default Proﬁle.

When more than one circuit is enabled, you must explicitly statically bind each circuit to the Connection Proﬁle to be used on the circuit, or to the Default Proﬁle. To do this you use Use Connection Proﬁle or Use Default Proﬁle for Circuit.

Note: With multiple VCs you must explicitly statically bind the second (and all subsequent) VCs to a proﬁle. The ﬁrst VC will automatically statically bind according to pre-deﬁned dynamic binding rules when you add the second VC. It will revert back to dynamic binding if the number of VCs is reduced to one; for example, by deleting previously deﬁned VCs.

When the link comes up the router binds the VC dynamically to the ﬁrst suitable Connection Proﬁle or to the Default Proﬁle if there is no Connection Proﬁle conﬁgured.

• If you factory default the router, the VC binds to the Default Proﬁle.

• If you delete a Connection Proﬁle that is statically bound to a VC, the VC binding is set back to the Default

Proﬁle. If there is only one VC deﬁned, the VC dynamically binds to the ﬁrst suitable proﬁle or to the Default Proﬁle. If there are multiple VCs deﬁned, it binds to the Default Proﬁle.

• If you add a second VC, it is initialized to the Default Proﬁle, and the menu screens display the VC

Connection Proﬁle-related items, allowing you to bind to a speciﬁc Connection Proﬁle instead of the Default Proﬁle. In addition, the router statically binds the ﬁrst VC according to the rules used to select a proﬁle for dynamic binding. At this point, each proﬁle uses static binding when the link is brought up.

If there are no VCs when you add a VC -- for example, if you deleted all your previous VCs and started adding them again -- dynamic binding will occur when the link comes up. If you delete a VC, leaving only one VC, that VC resumes dynamically binding again.

■ Press Escape to return to the ADSL Line Conﬁguration screen.

■ Select Data Link Encapsulation and press Return. The pop-up menu will offer you the choice of PPP or

RFC1483. Your selection depends on which type your ISP uses. The default is RFC1483.

■ If you selected PPP as your Data Link Encapsulation method, the PPP Mode pop-up menu offers the

choice of VC Multiplexed (the default) or LLC SNAP.

■ If you selected RFC1483 as your Data Link Encapsulation method, the RFC1483 Mode pop-up menu

R6161 Multilink PPP-based Bonded ADSL (WAN Module 2) Setup

The Netopia R6000 Series offers Multilink PPP-based DSL Bonding support for R6161 ADSL routers. Multilink PPP-based DSL Bonding allows your ISP to aggregate the speed of two separate DSL lines to create a single virtual pipe of higher speed. It does require two separate DSL lines, each connected to one of the two WAN interfaces on an R6161 Router. In conﬁguring the second WAN interface on the R6161, the PVCs must be deﬁned for the second WAN circuit. You access this feature in the Choose Interface to Conﬁgure screen under the WAN Setup menu.

Delayed remote conﬁguration change toggle

The Netopia R6000 Series supports delaying some conﬁguration changes until after the router is restarted. If your router is preconﬁgured by your service provider, or if you are not remotely conﬁguring the router, you can

leave this setting unchanged. The purpose of this feature is to defer conﬁguration changes only when remotely conﬁguring or reconﬁguring the

router to prevent premature console disconnection. When this feature is enabled, no changes to the WAN setup, datalink encapsulation, Connection Proﬁles, DLCIs, or Default Gateways will take effect until after the router is restarted. Until the router is restarted the WAN link and the routing table remain unaffected.

A single setting in the Choose Interface to Conﬁgure screen controls this feature, as shown below.

Creating a New Connection Proﬁle

For a Netopia R6000 Series, connection proﬁles are useful for conﬁguring the connection and authentication settings for negotiating a PPP connection on the ADSL link or on an asynchronous modem attached to the Auxiliary port. If you are using the PPP data link encapsulation method, you can store your authentication information in the connection proﬁle so that your user name and password (or host name and secret) are transmitted when you attempt to connect.

Connection proﬁles deﬁne the networking protocols necessary for the router to make a remote connection. A connection proﬁle is like an address book entry describing how the router is to get to a remote site, or how to recognize and authenticate a connection. To create a new connection proﬁle, you navigate to the WAN Conﬁguration screen from the Main Menu, and select Add Connection Proﬁle.

■ Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is needed if there are IP routers on other segments of your Ethernet

network that the Netopia R6000 Series needs to recognize. If this is the case select Receive RIP and select v1, v2, or Both from the pop-up menu. With Receive RIP set to v1, the Netopia R6000 Series’s Ethernet port will accept routing information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use the same subnet mask. Set to v2, the Netopia R6000 Series will accept routing information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use different subnet masks. Set to Both, the Netopia R6000 Series will accept information from either RIP v1 or v2 routers.

■ If you want the Netopia R6000 Series to advertise its routing table to other routers via RIP , select Transmit

RIP and select v1, v2 (broadcast), or v2 (multicast) from the pop-up menu. With T ransmit RIP v1 selected,

the Netopia R6000 Series will generate RIP packets only to other RIP v1 routers. With Transmit RIP v2 (broadcast) selected, the Netopia R6000 Series will generate RIP packets to all other hosts on the network. With Transmit RIP v2 (multicast) selected, the Netopia R6000 Series will generate RIP packets only to other routers capable of recognizing RIP v2 packets.

Netopia R6000 Series Routers offer the ability for PPP to reconﬁgure the router’s Ethernet LAN when establishing an unnumbered, non-NAT connection.

This allows a central site router to supply an entire IP subnet, rather than a single IP address, for use by a Netopia router. If the applicable Connection Proﬁle speciﬁes an unnumbered, non-NA T connection and Negotiate LAN IP Addr/Mask is set to On, PPP will attempt to negotiate both an IP Address and subnet mask.

Note: Once the router has reconﬁgured the address serving pool only to conform to the negotiated subnet, you can adjust the base or extent of the pool and reboot the router. Your adjustments will not be overwritten when the connection is next renegotiated because the router only reconﬁgures the address serving pool if it lies outside the negotiated subnet.

The router does not adjust any address serving parameters other than the base and extent of the address serving pool. This allows you to otherwise conﬁgure address serving as you please using the normal address serving conﬁguration items. For example, if you disable address serving, the router will not enable address serving when it reconﬁgures the address serving pool.

Dial Backup 9-1

CCCChhhhaaaapppptttteeeerrrr 99

DDDDiiiiaaaallll BBBBaaaacccckkkkuuuupp

The Netopia R6000 Series offers dial backup functionality in the event of a line failure on its primary WAN link. The ﬁrmware supports backup to an external modem connected to the Auxiliary port or an internal V .90 modem via a V .90 modem W AN module or an ISDN interface via an ISDN WAN interface module in the second WAN slot.

R6120 models have integrated V.90 backup built in. R6131 models have integrated ISDN backup built in. This chapter covers the following topics:

■ WAN Conﬁguration on page 9-2

■ IP Setup screen on page 9-7

■ Connection Proﬁles on page 9-8

■ Using Scheduled Connections with Backup on page 9-8

■ Management/Statistics on page 9-11

■ QuickView on page 9-12

■ Event Logs on page 9-13

■ SNMP Support on page 9-13

The purpose of dial backup is to provide a recovery mechanism in the event that the primary connection fails. A failure can be either line loss, for example by central site switch failure or physical cable breakage, or in the case of Frame Relay (with LMI) or PPP, loss of end-to-end connectivity. Detection of one of these failures causes the router to switch from using the primary WAN port to using the Auxiliary port to which a modem has been attached or to an internal asynchronous modem or ISDN WAN module if one is installed. The port used for backup is determined by whether or not a second WAN module is installed in the router. If there is only one WAN module installed then the Auxiliary port is the backup port. If an asynchronous modem or ISDN WAN module is installed in the second slot, then that is the backup port.

In the event of a loss of primary connectivity you have the option of switching back to the primary port automatically once it has recovered its connection.

The supported backup ports are the Auxiliary port or an asynchronous V.90 modem or ISDN WAN module in Switched Asynchronous mode with PPP as the data link encapsulation.

Backup Conﬁguration screen

This screen is used to conﬁgure the conditions under which backup will occur, if it will recover, and how the Auxiliary port is conﬁgured.

For an internal V.90 modem or an external modem connected to the Auxiliary port, the Backup Conﬁguration screen appears as follows (variations for ISDN are described below):

Backup Configuration

Backup Parameters Backup to Auxiliary Port... Automatic Requires Failure of (minutes): 1 Ping Host Name or IP Address:

Recovery to ADSL... Automatic Requires Recovery of (minutes): 1 Auto-Recovery on loss of Layer 2: No Clear Backup Call only if idle: No

Data Link Encapsulation is Async PPP

Enter Information supplied to you by your telephone company.

■ Select Backup to Auxiliary Port, Backup to Internal Modem, or Backup to ISDN and press Return. The

system automatically senses whether you have an internal modem or ISDN card installed in the second slot. If you do not, this menu item will be Auxiliary Port; if you do, this item will be Internal Modem or ISDN. A pop-up menu allows you to select Disabled, Manual, or Automatic. You enable line backup by selecting either Manual or Automatic. If you enable backup, the subsequent menu items become visible.

■ Select Requires Data Link Failure of and enter the period of time in minutes to determine how long you

want the system to wait before the backup port becomes enabled in the event of primary line failure. This allows you to be sure that the primary WAN connection is not merely brieﬂy interrupted before the router switches to backup mode. The value zero is not permitted.

■ Select Ping Host Name or IP Address and enter an IP address or resolvable DNS name that the router will

ping. This is an optional item that is particularly useful for testing if the remote end of a VPN connection has gone down. Should this address become unreachable the router will treat this as a loss of connectivity and begin the backup timer. This loss is a Layer 2 loss.

■ Select Recovery to “WAN_name” (where WAN_name is the type of WAN connection you have, e.g., ADSL)

and press Return. Choose either Manual or Automatic to determine how the system will return to the primary WAN link when it becomes available again. If you choose Automatic, the next two menu items become visible.

Note: Automatic recovery only works upon loss of primary WAN connectivity.

■ If you chose Automatic Recovery , select Requires Recovery of and enter the period of time in minutes

lished and the router switches back to it from the backup mode.

■ You can toggle Auto-Recovery on loss of Layer 2 to Yes or No (the default). This setting determines

whether the router should try to Auto-Recover when the backup is invoked because of a Layer 2 loss, for example, a no valid Connection Proﬁle. (Layer 1 is still available, and this is what recovery checks.) Use this setting with caution. Setting it to Yes may induce alternate switching between Backup and Recovery Mode. This ﬁeld will determine the recovery behavior of a Manual backup and Ping failure backup. These two failures are treated as Layer 2 failures.

Note: Backup and Recovery have resolutions of ﬁve seconds. This is how often the router evaluates the state of the connections and makes decisions.

■ Data Link Encapsulation is set to Async PPP. This ﬁeld is not editable.

Using Scheduled Connections with Backup

The backup link is a PPP dial-up connection and only connects to the ISP when trafﬁc is initiated from the LAN. If you want to use the backup link to provide redundancy for services, such as a Web service that you provide to the outside world, you must force the connection to stay up. You do this by creating a scheduled connection entry that will be a permanent “forced up” connection for the backup port. The backup port will be activated upon primary WAN link failure and remain active until primary WAN link recovery.

To conﬁgure a Scheduled Connection, from the Main Menu select WAN Conﬁguration and then Scheduled Connections.
