1About Network Voyager
This chapter provides an overview of Network Voyager, the Web-based interface that you can
use to manage Nokia IPSO systems.
Nokia Network Voyager is a Web-based interface that you can use to manage IPSO systems
from any authorized location. Network Voyager comes packaged with the IPSO operating
system software and is accessed from a client using a browser.
You can also use the command-line interface (CLI) to perform all of the tasks that you can
perform when you use Network Voyager, which allows you to choose the interface you are most
comfortable with. For information about the CLI, see the CLI Reference Guide.
Software Overview
Nokia firewalls function with the help of several software components:
Operating System—Nokia IPSO is a UNIX-like operating system based on FreeBSD.
IPSO is customized to support Nokia’s enhanced routing capabilities and Check Point’s
FireWall-1 firewall functionality, and to "harden" network security. Unnecessary features
have been removed to minimize the need for UNIX system administration.
Ipsilon Routing Daemon (IPSRD)—IPSRD is Nokia’s routing software. The routing
policy implemented by IPSRD resides in a database. Network Voyager (see below)
configures and maintains the routing software and database.
Check Point FireWall-1—FireWall-1 consists of two major components: (1) the Firewall
module, which runs on the Nokia firewall and implements the security policy, and (2) the
Management module, which runs either on the Nokia firewall or on another workstation.
Use the Management Module to define and maintain the security policy.
Network V oyager—Network Voyager communicates with the routing software to configure
interfaces and routing protocols, to manage routing policy for the firewall, and to monitor
network traffic and protocol performance. Network Voyager also provides on line
documentation. Network Voyager itself runs on a remote machine as a client application of
the Nokia routing software and is HTML based.

Logging In to Network Voyager
When you log in to Network Voyager, the navigation tree you see depends on the role or roles
assigned to you. If the roles assigned to your user account do not include access to a feature, you
will not see a link to the feature in the tree. If they have read-only access to a feature, you will
see a link and be able to access the page, but all the controls will be disabled. For more
information on role-based administration, see “Role-Based Administration” on page 293.
Note
The system logs messages about both successful and unsuccessful attempts by users to
log in. These are stored in the /var/log/messages file.
To open Nokia Network Voyager
1. Open a Web browser on a computer with network connectivity to the IPSO system.
2. In the Location or Address text box, enter the IP address of the initial interface you
configured for the appliance.
You are prompted to enter a username and password. If this is the first login, enter the Admin
username and the password you entered when you performed the initial configuration.

2Configuring Interfaces
This chapter describes configuring and monitoring the various types of interfaces supported by
Nokia IP security platforms, aggregating Ethernet ports, configuring GRE and DVMRP tunnels,
using transparent mode to allow your IPSO appliance to behave like a Layer 2 device, and other
topics related to physical and logical interfaces.
Interface Overview
Nokia IPSO support the following interface types.
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet
FDDI
ATM (RFC1483 PVCs only)
Serial (V.35 and X.21) running PPP, point-to-point Frame Relay, or Cisco HDLC
T1/E1 running PPP, Frame Relay, or Cisco HDLC
HSSI running PPP, point-to-point Frame Relay, or Cisco HDLC
VPN Tunneling
Token Ring
Unnumbered Interface
ISDN
Note
For information on what types of interfaces your appliance model supports, see your
hardware installation guide.
You can configure these interfaces with IP addresses. You also can assign additional IP
addresses to the loopback, FDDI, and Ethernet interfaces. All interface types support IP
multicast.
Nokia Network Voyager for IPSO 4.0 Reference Guide29

IP2250 Management Ports
The Ethernet management ports on IP2250 systems are designed to be used for the following
purposes:
Managing the appliance
Firewall synchronization traffic
IP cluster protocol traffic
Connection to a log server
Caution
The management ports are not suitable for forwarding production data traffic. Do not
use them for this purpose.
Configuring Network Devices
Network Voyager displays network devices as physical interfaces. A physical interface exists for
each physical port on a network interface card (NIC) installed in the appliance. Physical
interface names have the form:
<type>-s<slot>p<port>
where:
<type>
<slot>
<port>
is a prefix indicating the device type.
is the number of the slot the device occupies in the appliance.
is the port number of the NIC. The first port on a NIC is port one. For example, a
two-port Ethernet NIC in slot 2 is represented by two physical interfaces:
eth-s2p2
.
The following table lists the interface-name prefixes for each type.

The loopback interface also has a physical interface named
Use Network Voyager to set attributes of interfaces. For example, line speed and duplex mode
are attributes of an Ethernet physical interface. Each communications port has exactly one
physical interface.
Configuring IP Addresses
Logical interfaces are created for a device's physical interface. You assign an IP address to
logical interfaces and then route to the IP address. Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring devices have
one logical interface.
For ATM devices, you create a new logical interface each time you configure an RFC1483 PVC
for the device. Serial, T1/E1, and HSSI devices have one logical interface when they are running
PPP or Cisco HDLC. Serial, T1/E1, and HSSI devices running point-to-point Frame Relay have
a logical interface for each PVC configured on the port. You also have the option of configuring
an unnumbered interface for point-to-point interfaces. Tunnels, however, cannot be configured
as unnumbered interfaces.
Logical interfaces, by default, are named after the physical interface for which they are created.
If you wish, you can override this default name with a more descriptive or familiar name. You
can also associate a comment with the logical interface as a further way to define its relationship
in the network. Default logical interface names have the form:
loop0
.
<type>-s<slot>p<port>c<chan>
where
<type>, <slot>
<chan>
is the channel number of the logical interface.
and
<port>
have the same values as the corresponding physical interface.
For logical interfaces created automatically, the channel number is always zero. For logical
interfaces created manually, the channel number is the identifier of the virtual circuit (VC) for
which the interface is created (for example, the ATM VCI or the Frame Relay DLCI).

Once a logical interface exists for a device, you can assign an IP address to it. For Ethernet,
FDDI, and Token Ring, you must specify the interface's local IP address and the length (in bits)
of the subnet mask for the subnet to which the device connects.
If you are running multiple subnets on the same physical network, you can configure additional
addresses and subnet masks on the single logical interface connected to that network. Y ou do not
need to create additional logical interfaces to run multiple subnets on a single physical network.
For point-to-point media, such as ATM, serial, or HSSI, you can either assign IP addresses or
configure an unnumbered interface. When assigning IP addresses you must specify the IP
address of the local interface and the IP address of the remote system's point-to-point interface.
You can add only one local/destination IP address pair to a point-to-point logical interface. To
assign IP addresses to multiple VCs, you must create a logical interface for each VC. IP subnets
are not supported on point-to-point interfaces.
Whenever an unnumbered interface generates a packet, it uses the address of the interface that
the user has specified as the source address of the IP packet. Thus, for a router to have an
unnumbered interface, it must have at least one IP address assigned to it. The Nokia
implementation of unnumbered interfaces does not support virtual links.
Note
If you make changes to IP addresses or delete interfaces, the firewall sometimes does not
learn of the changes when you get the topology . If you get the topo logy and your changes to
interfaces are not shown, stop and restart the firewall.
Interface Status
The configuration and status of removable-interface devices are displayed. Interfaces can be
changed while they are offline. Table 2 describes the interface status indicators.
32Nokia Network Voyager for IPSO 4.0 Reference Guide
Page 33
Table 2 Interface Status Indicators
IndicatorDescription
NoneIf no color indication is displayed, the physical interface is disabled. To enable the interface,
click on the physical interface name to go to its configuration page.
BlueThe device corresponding to this physical interface has been removed from the system, but
its configuration remains. To delete its configuration, click on the physical interface name to
go to its configuration page.
RedThe physical interface is enabled, but the device does not detect a connection to the
network.
GreenThe physical interface is ready for use. It is enabled and connected to the network.
Events that can affect the status of interfaces:
If you hot-insert a device (not power down the unit first), it appears in the lists of interfaces
immediately (after a page refresh) on the configuration pages.
If you hot-pull a device, and no configuration exists for it, it disappears from the lists of
interfaces immediately.
If you hot-pull a device, and it had a configuration, its configuration details continue to be
displayed and can be changed even after a reboot.
Hotswapped interfaces that are fully seated in a router’s chassis are represented in the
ifTable (MIB-II), ipsoCardTable (IP440-IPSO-System-MIB), and the hrNetworkTable
(Host-Resources-MIB).
Unwanted configurations of absent devices can be deleted, which removes the physical and
logical interfaces from all interface lists.
Configuring Tunnel Interfaces
Tunnel interfaces are used to encapsulate protocols inside IP packets. Use tunneling to:
Send network protocols over IP networks that don’t support them.
Encapsulate and encrypt private data to send over a public IP network.
Create a tunnel logical interface by specifying an encapsulation type. Use Network Voyager to
set the encapsulation type. Network Voyager supports two encapsulation types, DVMRP and
GRE.
The tunnel logical interface name has the form:
tun0c<chan>
where
<chan>

Link Aggregation
Nokia IPSO appliances allow you to aggregate (combine) Ethernet ports so that they function as
one logical port. You get the benefits of greater bandwidth per logical interface and load
Nokia Network Voyager for IPSO 4.0 Reference Guide35
Page 36
2
balancing across the ports. For example, you can aggregate two 10/100 mbps ports so they
function like a single port with a theoretical bandwidth of 200 mbps, and you can aggregate two
Gigabit Ethernet ports so they function like a single port with a theoretical bandwidth of 2000
mbps. If you have only 10/100 interfaces and need a faster link but can’t or don’t want to use
Gigabit Ethernet, you can use link aggregation to achieve faster throughput with the interfaces
you already have.
Another benefit of link aggregation is redundancy—if one of the physical links in an aggregation
group fails, the traffic is redistributed to the remaining physical links and the aggregation group
continues to function. IPSO distributes the outbound IP traffic across the physical links using the
source and destination IP addresses. It uses the source and destination MAC addresses to
distribute non-IP traffic.
You can aggregate as many as four ports in one aggregation group, and you can have as many as
eight aggregation groups on one appliance.
You can hot swap NICs that hav e ports participating in an aggregation group. If the group has
ports on other NICs, the traffic is distributed to those ports and the aggregation group continues
to function when you remove a NIC in this manner. If you reinsert the NIC, the appropriate ports
rejoin the aggregation group and resume forwarding traffic automatically.
Managing Link Aggregation Using SNMP
Nokia IPSO systems use a proprietary SNMP MIB to manage link aggregation. To incorporate
link aggregation into your SNMP-based management, perform the following tasks:
Copy the file NOKIA-IPSO-LINKAGGREGATION-MIB .txt to your management system.
This file is located at /etc/snmp/mibs/.
In Network Voyager or the IPSO CLI, enable the following traps:
IPSO does not use the standard IEEE8023-LAG-MIB to support link aggregation.
Configuring Switches for Link Aggregation
Observe the following considerations when you configure a switch to support link aggregation
in combination with a Nokia appliance:
You must configure the appropriate switch ports to use static link aggregation. (On Cisco
switches, this means you must enable EtherChannel.) That is, if you aggregate four ports
into one group on your Nokia appliance, the four switch ports that they con nect to must
static link aggregation.
36Nokia Network Voyager for IPSO 4.0 Reference Guide
Page 37
When you assign switch ports to an EtherChannel group, set the channel mode to on to
force the ports to form a channel without using the Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) or Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP).
If your switch supports it, configure the aggregated ports to distribute the traffic using
source and destination IP addresses.
If your switch can only distribute traffic based on source or destination MAC addresses,
configure it to use the source MAC addresses. If it uses the destination MAC address to
distribute the load, all the traffic flowing from the switch to the IPSO system over the
aggregated link is sent to the primary port of the aggregation group.
You must configure the switch ports to have the same physical characteristics (link speed,
duplicity, autoadvertise/autonegotiation setting, and so on) as the corresponding aggregated
ports on the Nokia system.
On Cisco switches, trunking must be enabled if you create more than one tagged VLAN on
an aggregated link. (You can configure as many as 1015 VLANs for an IPSO system.).
If you use IOS on a Cisco switch, trunking is enabled automatically.
If you run CatOS on a Cisco switch, use the following command to configure VLAN
trunking on the EtherChannel:
set trunk ports nonegotiate dot1q vlans
Static Link Aggregation
The IPSO implementation of link aggregation complies with the IEEE 802.3ad standard for
static link aggregation. Nokia has also tested IPSO link aggregation with the following Cisco
Catalyst switches:
6500 Series
3550 Series
2950 Series
IPSO does not support LACP, which is used for dynamic link aggregation.
Link Aggregation on the IP2250
This section describes aspects of link aggregation that are specific to the IP2250 appliance.
Firewall Synchronization Traffic
If you configure two IP2250 appliances in a VRRP pair or IP Cluster and run NGX on them,
Nokia recommends that you aggregate two of the built-in 10/100 Ethernet management ports to
create a 200 Mbps logical link and configure NGX to use this network for firewall
synchronization traffic. If you use a single 100 Mbps connection for synchronization, connection
information might not be properly synchronized when the appliance is handles a large number of
connections.
Nokia Network Voyager for IPSO 4.0 Reference Guide37
Page 38
2
Note
Use Ethernet crossover cables to connect the management port s that you aggr egate. Using
a switch or a hub can result in incomplete synchronization.
Because you should use crossover cables for these connections, you should not configure more
than two IP2250 appliances in a VRRP group or IP cluster.
If you use aggregated ports for firewall synchronization traffic a
nd delete a port from the
aggregation group but do not delete the group itself, be sure to delete the corres po nd i ng port on
the other IP2250 system. If you delete a port on one system only and that port remains physically
and logically enabled, the other system will continue to send traffic to the deleted port. This
traffic will not be received, and firewall synchronization will therefore be incomplete.
Caution
Do not use ports on IP2250 ADP I/O cards for firewall synchronization traffic. Doing so
can cause connections to be dropped in the event that there is a failover to a backup
router.
Configuring the Remaining Management Ports
If you are using IP clustering, follow these guidelines when you configure the remaining built-in
Ethernet management ports:
Use one of the management ports exclusively for the primary cluster protocol network.
Use a separate management port for the following purposes, if necessary:
Use a switch or hub to connect these ports. Do not use crossover cables to connect any
interfaces other than those used for firewall synchronization.
Caution
The management ports are not suita ble for forwarding production data traffic—do not
use them for this purpose.
Production Traffic (ADP I/O Ports Only)
You can aggregate the ports on ADP format IP2250 I/O cards and use the aggregated links for
traffic other than firewall synchronization. If you aggregate ports on IP2250 I/O cards, observe
the following guidelines:
You can connect the aggregated ports using a switch, hu b, or crossover cable.
Do not include ports on different I/O cards in the same aggregation group.
38Nokia Network Voyager for IPSO 4.0 Reference Guide
Page 39
Do not combine any of the built-in 10/100 Ethernet management ports with ports on an I/O
card to form an aggregation group.
Caution
Do not use the management ports of an IP2250 for production traffic, regardless of
whether the ports are aggregated.
Configuring Link Aggregation
To set up link aggregation in Network Voyager
1. Physically configure the interfaces.
2. Create the aggregation group.
3. Logically configure the aggregation group.
These steps are explained in the following sections.
Physical Interface Configuration
To set up link aggregation in Network Voyager, you first configure the physical interfaces that
you will aggregate.
Note
Make sure that the physical configurations (link speed, duplicity, autoadvertise setting, and
so on) are identical for all the interfaces that will participate in a given group. These settings
must match the settings for the switch ports that the interfaces are connected to.
When you aggregate an interface, any logical configuration information is deleted. Be careful
not to aggregate the interface that you use for your management connection because doing so
breaks your HTTP connection to the appliance. Should this occur, you can restore HTTP
connectivity by using one of the following approaches:
Connect to another configured port and use Network Voyager to reconfigure the
management port.
Use the IPSO CLI over a console connection to reconfigure the management port.
Because the management port is now part of an aggrega tio n group, Network Voyager and the
CLI identify it using the format
aexxx
, in which
xxx
is the group ID.
To physically configure the interfaces you will aggregate
1. Click Interfaces under Configuration > Interface Configuration in the tree view.
2. Click a link for one of the physical interfaces that you will aggregate.
Be careful not to select a port that you are using for a management connection.
3. Configure the physical configuration to the settings you want.
Nokia Network Voyager for IPSO 4.0 Reference Guide39

4. Click Apply
5. Click Save to make the changes permanent.
6. Perform step 2 through step 5 again to configure the other interfaces identically.
Group Configuration
Once the physical interfaces are configured, you need to create and configure link aggregation
groups.
On appliances other than the IP2250, you can put ports on different LAN interface cards in the
same aggregation group. For example, you can include a port on a card in slot 1 and a port on a
card in slot 2 in the same group. On the IP2250, do not include ports on different IO cards in the
same aggregation group.
If you use VRRP and VPN-1 NG with appliances other than the IP2250, you can run firewall
synchronization traffic over an aggregated link, regardless of which ports participate in the link.
On the IP2250, do not run this traffic over an aggregated link that is made up of ports on an
interface card.
To configure link aggregation groups
1. Click Link Aggregation under Configuration > Interface Configuration in the tree view.
2. In the New Group ID field, enter a numeric value that will identify the group of aggregrated
interfaces.
3. Click Apply.
An entry for the new group appears under Existing Link Aggregation Groups.
4. Use the Primary Port pull-down menu to select a port for the aggregation group.
The menu shows the physical names of the interfaces that correspond to the available
Ethernet ports. For example, eth1 corresponds to the first built-in Ethernet port, and eth-s5p1
corresponds to port 1 on the NIC in slot 5. Be careful not to select a port that you are using
for a management connection.
5. Click Apply.
The entry for the aggregation group indicates that the MAC address for the interface you
selected is used as the MAC address for all the interfaces in the group.
6. Add a port to the group by selecting another interface from the Add Port menu.
Caution
Do not include ports on different IP2250 I/O cards in the same aggregation group. This
configuration is not supported.
7. Click Apply.
Note that Network Voyager’s display of the aggregated bandwidth does not reflect whether any
of the ports are physically up or logically active.

Logical Configuration
When you have completed the aggregation group, you must configure it with an IP address and
so on. Navigate to the Interfaces Configuration page and click the logical name of the group.
Network Voyager shows the logical name in the format
of a group with the ID 100 is
ae100c0
If you create a link aggregation group but do not add any interfaces to it, the logical name of the
group does not appear on the Interfaces Configuration page. You cannot configure an
aggregation group with logical information until you have added an interface to the group.
Deleting Aggregation Groups
To delete an aggregation group, you must first remove all the ports from th e grou p. To remove a
port from an aggregation group, click Delete next to the appropriate port and click Apply. Click
Save to make the change permanent.
You cannot remove the primary port from an aggregation group unless the other ports have been
removed, but you can remove all the ports simultaneously. You can simultaneously remove all
the ports and delete the group by clicking all the Delete checkboxes and then clicking Apply.

5. Click Delete.
6. Click Apply.
Configuring MSS Clamping
When end devices use path MTU discovery, it can cause connectivity problems when their
connections pass through PPPoE interfaces. Use the MSS Clamping field to prevent these
problems by reducing the maximum segment size (MSS) that is advertised across the outgoing
link.
IPSO advertises the value in this field as the MSS for packets that transit this interface. If a
connected device (such as a host system) advertises a greater MSS, IPSO advertises the value in
this field instead of the value advertised by the device. There is no default value for the MSS
Clamping field. If you do not enter a value, the MSS advertised by end devices is always
advertised across the link.
If hosts connected to this interface experience connectivity problems with some destinations, use
this field to restrict the MSS that they can advertise. Entering a value of 1452 will probably solve
any such problems.
See RFC 2923 for more information about how path MTU discovery that can cause connectivity
problems.
Virtual LAN Interfaces
Nokia IPSO supports virtual LAN (VLAN) interfaces on all supported Ethernet interfaces.
VLAN interfaces lets you configure subnets with a secure private link to Check Point FW-1/
VPN-1 with the existing topology. VLAN enables the multiplexing of Ethernet traffic into
channels on a single cable.
The Nokia implementation of VLAN supports adding a logical interface with a VLAN ID to a
physical interface. In a VLAN packet, the OSI Layer 2 header, or MAC header, contains four
more bytes than the typical Ethernet header for a total of 18 bytes. When traffic arrives at the
physical interface, the system examines it for the VLAN layer-two header and accepts and
forwards the traffic if a VLAN logical interface is configured. If the traffic that arrives at the
physical interface does not have a VLAN header, it is directed to the channel 0, or untagged,
interface. In the Nokia implementation, the untagged channel-0 interface drops VLAN packets
that are sent to the subnets on that interface.
Outgoing traffic from a VLAN interface is tagged with the VLAN header. The Nokia appliance
can receive and generate fully conformant IEEE 802.1Q tags. The IEEE802.1Q standard defines
the technology for virtual bridged networks. The Nokia implementation is completely
interoperable as a router, not as a switch.
IPSO supports a maximum of 1015 VLAN interfaces. However, if you do not explicitly
configure the system to support this number (in the Maximum Number of VLANs Allowed text
box), the default maximum is 950 VLAN interfaces.This is system limit and not limited to
specific interface.

VLAN Example Topology
The following topology represents a fully redundant firewall with load sharing and VLAN. Each
Nokia appliance running Check Point FW-1 is configured with the Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP). This protocol provides dynamic failover of IP addresses from one router to
another in the event of failure. For more information see VRRP Description. Each appliance is
configured with Gigabit Ethernet and supports multiple VLANs on a single cable. The
appliances receive and forward VLAN-tagged traffic to subnets configured for VLAN, creating
a secure private network. In addition, the appliances are configured to create VLAN-tagged
messages for output.

ISDN Interfaces
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a system of digital phone connections that allows
voice, digital network services, and video data to be transmitted simultaneously using end-toend digital connectivity.
The Nokia IP security platform offers support for an ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) physical
interface. The ISDN BRI comprises one 16 Kbps D-channel for signalling and control, and two
64 Kbps B-channels for information transfer. Nokia’s physical interface is certified to conform
to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) ISDN standard.
The physical interface is the manageable representation of the physical connection to ISDN. One
physical interface is visible in Network Voyager for every ISDN BRI card in the Nokia
appliance chassis. The physical interface enables management of the parameters specific to each
ISDN connection. The physical interface permits enabling or disabling of the ISDN connection
and is the entity under which logical interfaces are created.
The logical interface is the logical communication end point. It contains all information used to
set up and maintain the ISDN call. The logical interface includes:
Data link encapsulation and addressing
Call connection information such as call direction, data rate, and the number to call
Authentication information such as names, passwords, and authentication method
Bandwidth allocation for Multilink PPP
After configuring the physical interface, then creating and configuring the logical interfaces, the
Nokia appliance is ready to make and accept ISDN calls. Detailed information on how to create
and configure ISDN interfaces begins in “To configure an ISDN physical interface.”
The ISDN interface supports the following features.
Port—ISDN Basic Rate S/T interface with RJ45 connector
ISDN signaling—ETSI EURO-ISDN (ETS 300 102)
B-channel protocols—IETF PPP (RFC 1661 and 1662); IETF Multilink PPP (RFC 1990)
Security—PAP (RFC 1334), CHAP (RFC 1994), and ISDN Caller ID
Dial-on-demand routing—you can configure the ISDN interface so that only certain types
of traffic establish and maintain an ISDN connection.
Circuits are automatically removed if they are not required.
Dynamic bandwidth allocation—you can configure the ISDN interface to add or remove
additional bandwidth as the traffic requires it.
Multiple destination support—you can configure the ISDN interface to connect to two
different destinations simultaneously.
Dial-in support—you can configure the ISDN interface to accept incoming calls from
remote sites.

Configuring Calling Line-Identification Screening
You can filter incoming calls to the Nokia appliance by using the calling number in the received
SETUP message. The network must support Calling Line Identification (CLID) to filter calls by
using the calling number.
When an incoming call is received, the calling number in the received SETUP message is
checked against the incoming numbers configured on each logical interface. The calling number
is compared with each incoming call using the right-most-digits algorithm. A number matches if
the shortest string between the received calling number and the incoming number is the same.
For example, if the calling number received was 345 and the logical interface has an incoming
number of 12345, then this is deemed a match.
The call is answered on the interface that is configured with the incoming number with the
highest number of matching digits. If no matching incoming number is found, the call is
rejected.
If no incoming numbers are configured on an interface, any incoming call is deemed a match.
Detailed information on how to add and delete incoming numbers to the logical interface
follows.
To add an incoming number
1. Click Interfaces under Configuration > Interface Configuration in the tree view.
2. Click the physical interface link in the Physical column.
Example: isdn-s2p1
3. Click the logical interface link in the Logical Interfaces table.

7. If Callback is set to Yes, enter the value for the timeout in the timeout field.
This is the amount of time (in seconds) that the Nokia appliance waits before placing a call
back to the remote system. The range is 0 to 999. The default is 15.

Dial-on-Demand Routing (DDR) Lists
As ISDN connections attract charges to establish and maintain connections, it is useful to have
only certain types of packets cause the connection to be set up. It is also useful to have timers
determine how long the connection should be maintained in the absence of these packets.
A Dial-on-Demand Routing (DDR) list is used to determine the packets that should bring up and
maintain an ISDN connection. This section explains how to configure DDR lists for ISDN
interfaces.
A DDR list is composed of one or more rules that are used to determine if a packet is interesting.
Interesting packets are those that establish and maintain a connection. Each rule has a set of
values used to match a packet and an action to take when a match occurs.
The following are the possible actions:
Accept—this is an interesting packet.
Ignore—this is not an interesting packet.
Skip—this rule is ignored.
When a packet matches a rule in the DDR list with an accept action, that packet is regarded as
interesting. An interesting packet causes the ISDN interface to set up a call by using the is
passed over the interface. The traffic passed could include traffic, which configured in the DDR
list, with an ignore action. If no packets that match an accept rule in the DDR list are transmitted
in the configured idle time, the connection is automatically disconnected. A DDR list is created
with a default rule that matches all packets. The associated action is accept. This action can be
set to skip so that all unmatched packets are deemed uninteresting.
Note
Setting a rule to skip effectively turns the rule off.
It is important to understand the difference between Access lists and DDR lists and how the two
interoperate. When a packet is sent over an interface, any Access list applied to that interface is
checked first. If the packet matches any rule in the Access list, the associated action is taken.
Therefore, if the packet matched a rule in the Access list that had an associated action of drop,
58Nokia Network Voyager for IPSO 4.0 Reference Guide
Page 59
the packet is never sent over the ISDN interface. After the packet is checked against the Access
list, the DDR list applied to the interface (if any) is then checked.
Note
A DDR list, therefore, only affects which packets will cause a connection to be established
and maintained. If no DDR list is applied to an ISDN interface, all traffic received by the
interface is deemed interesting.

A Nokia IP330 Security Platform at a remote branch office connects to a Nokia IP650 Security
Platform in a company’s main office through ISDN by using PPP.
Considering the nature of the traffic being transmitted and the charging rates on an ISDN
network, the ISDN interface on the Nokia IP330 in this example has its minimum-call timer set
to four minutes and its idle timer set to one minute. The Nokia IP330 is configured to send a
username and password to the main office.
The Nokia IP650 is configured so that only incoming calls that originate from the Nokia IP330 is
answered. The PPP connection is in this example, the default values for the ISDN interface are

ISDN Troubleshooting
Logging
ISDN sends messages to the system message log. Whether a message is sent to the log or not
depends on the logging setting of the ISDN interface. Log messages are of one of the following
levels of severity.
Error—an error condition occurred
Warning—a warning condition
Informational—a normal event of note
Setting a logging to a particular level means all messages of this severity and higher are sent to
the message log. For example, if you set logging to Error, all error messages are sent to the
message log.
ISDN logs messages for the following informational events:
ISDN Layer 1 protocol activated or deactivated
Expiration of Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 timers
An attempted outgoing call
An incoming call being received
A call being connected
A call being disconnected
To set level of messages logged
1. Click Interfaces under Configuration > Interface Configuration in the tree view.
2. Click the physical interface link to configure in the Physical column.
Example: isdn-s2p1
3. From the pull-down menu in the Logging field, select the level of messages for ISDN to log.
All messages of this level and below are sent to the message log.
To view the message log
1. Click Monitor on the home page.
2. Click the View Message Log link under the System logs heading.

Tracing
You can use the tcpdump utility to trace ISDN D-channel traffic (Q.921 and Q.931 protocols)

work, contact your service provider to confirm the configuration.
To configure an E1 interface for PPP
1. Click Interfaces under Configuration > Interface Configuration in the tree view.
2. Click the physical interface link to configure in the Physical column. Example:
ser-s2p1.
3. (Optional) Click On or Off in the Internal Clock field to set the internal clock on the E1
device.
Click Apply.
If you’re connecting to a device or system that does not provide a clock source, set Internal
Clock to On; otherwise, set it to Off. Internal clocking for E1 is fixed at 2.048 Mbits/sec. To
configure slower speeds, you must configure fractional E1 on the Advanced E1 CSU/DSU Options page.
4. Click Full Duplex or Loopback in the Channel Mode field.
Full duplex is the normal mode of operation.
5. Click AMI or HDB3 in the E1 Encoding field to select the E1 encoding.
Click Apply.
This setting must match the line encoding of the CSU/DSU at the other end of the point-to-
point link.
6. Click E1 (channel 0 framing) or No Framing in the E1 Framing field to select the E1
Framing format.
Use E1 framing to select whether timeslot-0 is used for exchanging signaling data.
7. Click On or Off for the E1 CRC-4 Framing field.

Note
This option appears only if you have set the E1 Framing field to E1 (channel 0 framing).
This button chooses the framing format for timeslot-0. On means that CRC-multiframe
format is used; the information is protected by CRC-4. Off means that double-frame format
is used. This setting must match the setting of the CSU/DSU at the other end of the link.
8. Click On or Off for the E1 Timeslot-16 Framing.
Click Apply.
Note
This option appears only if you set the E1 Framing field to E1 (channel 0 framing).
This value controls whether timeslot-16 is used in channel associated signaling (CAS).
Setting this value to On means
that timeslot-16 cannot be used as a data channel. See
fractional settings on the Advanced E1 CSU/DSU Options page.
9. Click PPP in the Encapsulation field.
Click Apply.
A logical interface appears in the Logical Interfaces table.
10. Enter a number in the Keepalive text box to configure the PPP keepalive interval.
Click Apply.
This value sets the interval, in seconds, between keepalive protocol message transmissions.
These messages are used periodically to test for an active remote system. The range is 0-
255. The default is 5.
Note
This value must be identical to the keepalive value configured on the system at the other
end of a point-to-point link, or the link state fluctuates.
11. Enter a number in the Keepalive Maximum Failures text box.
This value sets the number of times a remote system may fail to send a keepalive protocol
message within a keepalive interval before the systems consider the link down. The range is
a positive integer. The default is 30.
12. Click Apply.
13. (Optional) Click the Advanced E1 CSU/DSU Options link to select advanced E1 options.
The E1 CSU/DSU Advanced Options page allows you to configure fractional E1 channels
and other advanced settings for an E1 device. The values you enter on this page depend on
the subscription provided by your service provider.

14. From the Advanced E1 CSU/DSU Options page, click Up to return to the physical interface
page.
15. Click the Advanced PPP Options link.
The PPP Advanced Options page appears.
16. Click Yes or No in the Negotiate Magic Number field.
Clicking Yes enables the interface to send a request to negotiate a magic number with a peer.
17. Click Yes or No in the Negotiate Maximum Receive Unit field.
Clicking Yes enables the interface to send a request to negotiate an MRU with a peer.
18. Click Apply.
19. Click Up to return to the Physical Interface page.
20. Click the logical interface name in the Interface column of the Logical Interfaces table to go
to the Interface page.
21. Enter the IP address for the local end of the link in the Local Address text box.
22. Enter the IP address of the remote end of the link in the Remote Address text box.
Click Apply.
23. (Optional) Change the interface’s logical name to a more meaningful one by typing the
preferred name in the Logical name text box.
Click Apply.
24. (Optional) Add a comment to further define the logical interfaces function in the Comments
text box.
Click Apply.
25. Click Save to make your changes permanent.
