GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

1. INTRODUCTION TO GLOBESURFER ® II

Within minutes, you can connect to your mobile network and use a wireless connection to the Internet through the mobile network. GlobeSurfer ® II is compatible with GSM and 3G mobile networks and supports GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA technologies.

Tip: To achieve the best possible reception, check the signal strength on the display of the unit (the more bars the better the reception). You may ﬁnd that placing the unit near a window provides the best reception.

Simple set-up

GlobeSurfer ® II provides you with a quick installation and set-up that gets you easily and quickly connected to the Internet. You can use an Internet browser (e.g. Microsoft ® Internet Explorer 6.0 or Firefox ® 1.5) and most personal computers, including Windows ®, Macintosh ® and Linux. The ‘Quick Setup Wizard’ introduces you to the basic settings that need to be conﬁgured for use with the mobile network. Once you have conﬁgured, you can review and enable customised wireless security settings.

Instant protection

Your GlobeSurfer ® II supports Network Address Translation (NAT). This network service hides the computers in your network so they cannot be found or directly accessed from outside your network. A ﬁrewall is also included which, by default, blocks incoming trafﬁc and allows outgoing trafﬁc.

Additional security

GlobeSurfer ® II supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) to protect your network data. Security logs keep you aware of potential security risks and intrusion attempts. You can view logs online or via email.

Stay in touch

You can use GlobeSurfer ® II to send and receive SMS text messages. The display on the front of the unit lets you know when a new SMS arrives. You can use GlobeSurfer ® II to make mobile phone calls. When you get a phone call the display shows the caller’s number and indicates missed calls.

Important note

To protect your network from unauthorised access, and to make it more difﬁcult for hackers to analyse your data, please conﬁgure the WLAN security settings and enable WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption on your GlobeSurfer ® II.

About This Manual

This manual describes conﬁguration and operation of GlobeSurfer ® II. It is intended as a complement to the GlobeSurfer ® II User Guide to provide reference information for the advanced user of the GlobeSurfer ® II. It is assumed that the hardware installation of GlobeSurfer ® II has been done when the Reference Manual is read.

This version of the manual is valid for GlobeSurfer ® II version 3.16 R1D02. Other product versions with customer speciﬁc functions not described in this manual, may be available.

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

2. SETUP

Connecting your computer or home network to the gateway is a simple procedure, varying slightly depending on your operating system. This chapter will help you to seamlessly integrate GlobeSurfer ® II with your computer or home network. The Windows default network settings dictate that in most cases the setup procedure described below will be unnecessary. For example, the default DHCP setting in Windows 2000 is ’client’, requiring no further modiﬁcation. However, it is advised to follow the setup procedure described below to verify that all communication parameters are valid and that the physical cable connections are correct. The setup procedure consists of three consecutive conﬁguration stages:

Figure 2.1 Hardware Conﬁguration

1. Setting up WAN and LAN connections [2.1]

2. PC Network Conﬁguration [2.2]

3. GlobeSurfer ® II Quick Setup [2.3]

2.1 Setting up WAN and LAN connections

· WAN Connection: Setting up the WAN connection requires that a SIM card is inserted correctly into the SIM slot of the

GlobeSurfer ® II. See the User Guide for instructions on how to insert the SIM card. With the SIM card in place you conﬁgure theWAN connection through the Quick Setup of GlobeSurfer ® II (see section 2.3). The ﬁrst time you login to GlobeSurfer ® II you will have to enter a PIN code. The PIN code is received from your ISP, but normally provided separately from the SIM card for security reasons.

· LAN Connection: Your computer can connect to the gateway in two ways, either through Ethernet or through the use of Wireless.

The most common type of connection is Ethernet, with most platforms featuring four such ports. Use an Ethernet cable to connect between an Ethernet port on your gateway and your computer’s network card. Please refer to the accompanying Installation Guides for additional information.

2.2 PC Network Conﬁguration

Each network interface on the PC should either be conﬁgured with a statically deﬁned IP address and DNS address, or should be instructed to automatically obtain an IP address using the Network DHCP server. GlobeSurfer 2 provides a DHCP server on its LAN and it is recommended to conﬁgure your LAN to obtain its IP and DNS server IPs automatically. This conﬁguration principle is identical but performed differently on each operating system.

Figure 2.1displays the ’TCP/IP Properties’ dialog box as it appears in Windows XP. Following are TCP/IP conﬁguration instructions for all supported operating systems.

You can install the WLAN with this feature enabled and then disable it once you have set up GlobeSurfer ® II and its associated wireless clients.

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

Figure 2.8 Quick Setup Wizard: Wireless

2.3.5 Quick Setup Wizard: Wireless Encryption

In order to prohibit unauthorized access to your GlobeSurfer ® II, make sure to apply sufﬁcient security and encryption on your wireless network.

If WPA2 is supported by your wireless clients it is recommended to apply WPA2 encryption to your wireless network as it offers the highest level of security.

Depending on your choice of security method, the Wireless Encryption page will refresh with relevant conﬁguration choices. Unless ‘No Encryption’ is selected you will be asked to enter an encryption key in either HEX or ASCII format. HEX format requires a hexadecimal key (‘0’-‘9’, ‘a’-‘f’) of various length depending on your selection. An ASCII key consists of a passphrase of various length that will be translated by the GlobeSurfer ® II into a HEX key. Using an ASCII key could be easier to remember than a HEX key, but in some cases there are compatability issues between different vendors of wireless equipment. Hence, if you are experiencing problems when using ASCII key, try to use HEX keys instead.

Available choices are:

· ‘No encryption’ This option is not recommended except during installation of your network.

· ‘WEP’ Wireless Equivalent Privacy is a 64-bit or 128-bit encryption method with user conﬁgurable ﬁxed keys.

· ‘WPA’ Wi-Fi Protected Access is a 256-bit encryption method with keys that change automatically over time.

· ‘WPA2’ A more secure version of WPA with implementation of the 802.11i standard.

· ‘Keep current (radius based) scheme’ This option is only available if advanced encryption settings have previously been

conﬁgured.

You can now use GlobeSurfer ® II’s wireless network from the conﬁgured PC. However, so can any other user with a wireless PC, which happens to be in your network’s radio range. Such a user has access to any disk shares available in your network. To prevent this scenario, the next logical step is to secure your wireless network, allowing only speciﬁc users to connect. To learn more about securing your Wireless Network, see section 5.2.4.3.

5.3 Security

The GlobeSurfer ® II includes comprehensive and robust security services: Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall, user authentication protocols and password protection mechanisms. These features together allow users to connect their computers to the Internet and simultaneously be protected from the security threats of the Internet.

The ﬁrewall, the cornerstone of the GlobeSurfer ® II security services, has been exclusively tailored to the needs of the residential/ofﬁce user and has been pre-conﬁgured to provide optimum security.

The GlobeSurfer ® II ﬁrewall provides both the security and ﬂexibility that home and ofﬁce users seek. It provides a managed, professional level of network security while enabling the safe use of interactive applications, such as Internet gaming and videoconferencing.

The GlobeSurfer ® II ﬁrewall supports advanced ﬁltering, designed to allow comprehensive control over the ﬁrewall’s behavior. You can deﬁne speciﬁc input and output rules, control the order of logically similar sets of rules and make a distinction between rules that apply to WAN and LAN network devices.

•

Figure 5.71 General overview

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

The ﬁrewall regulates the ﬂow of data between the home network and the Internet. Both incoming and outgoing data are inspected and then either accepted (allowed to pass through GlobeSurfer ® II) or rejected (barred from passing through GlobeSurfer ® II) according to a ﬂexible and conﬁgurable set of rules. These rules are designed to prevent unwanted intrusions from the outside, while allowing home users access to the Internet services that they require.

The ﬁrewall rules specify what types of services available on the Internet may be accessed from the home network and what types of services available in the home network may be accessed from the Internet. Each request for a service that the ﬁrewall receives, whether originating in the Internet or from a computer in the home network, is checked against the set of ﬁrewall rules to determine whether the request should be allowed to pass through the ﬁrewall. If the request is permitted to pass, then all subsequent data associated with this request (a “session”) will also be allowed to pass, regardless of its direction.

For example, when you point your Web browser to a Web page on the Internet, a request is sent out to the Internet for this page. When the request reaches GlobeSurfer ® II the ﬁrewall will identify the request type and origin, HTTP and a speciﬁc PC in your home network, in this case. Unless you have conﬁgured access control to block requests of this type from this computer, the ﬁrewall will allow this request to pass out onto the Internet (see section 5.3.2 for more on setting access controls). When the Web page is returned from the Web server the ﬁrewall will associate it with this session and allow it to pass, regardless of whether HTTP access from the Internet to the home network is blocked or permitted.

The important thing to note here is that it is the origin of the request, not subsequent responses to this request, that determines whether a session can be established or not.

You may choose from among three pre-deﬁned security levels for GlobeSurfer ® II: Minimum, Typical and Maximum. The table below summarizes the behavior of GlobeSurfer ® II for each of the three security levels.

SECURITY LEVEL

REQUESTS ORIGINATING IN THE WAN (INCOMING TRAFFIC)

REQUESTS ORIGINATING IN THE LAN (OUTGOING TRAFFIC)

Maximum Securityww

Blocked: No access to home network from Internet, except as conﬁgured in the Port Forwarding, DMZ host and Remote Access screens

Limited: By default, Only commonlyused services, such as Webbrowsing and e-mail, are permitted *

Typical Security

Blocked: No access to home network from Internet, except as conﬁgured in the Port Forwarding, DMZ host and Remote Access screens

Minumum Security

Unrestricted: Permits full access from Internet to home network; all connection attempts permitted

Blocked: No access to home network from Internet, except as conﬁgured in the Port Forwarding, DMZ host and Remote Access screens

* These services include Telnet, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, IMAP, POP3 and SMTP. The list of allowed services at ‘Maximum Security’ mode can be edited in the Access Control page. Attention: Some applications (such as some Internet messengers and Peer-To-Peer client applications) tend to use these ports, if they cannot connect with their own default ports. When applying this behavior, these applications will not be blocked outbound, even at Maximum Security Level.

To conﬁgure GlobeSurfer ® II’s security settings:

1. Choose from among the three predeﬁned security levels described in the table above. Using the Minimum Security setting may expose the home network to signiﬁcant security risks, and thus should only be used, when necessary, for short periods of time.

2. Check the ‘Block IP Fragments’ box in order to protect your home network from a common type of hacker attack that could make use of fragmented data packets to sabotage your home network. Note that VPN over IPSec and some UDP-based services make legitimate use of IP fragments. You will need to allow IP fragments to pass into the home network in order to make use of these select services.

3. Click the ‘OK’ button to save your changes.

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

5.3.2 Access control

You may want to block speciﬁc computers within the home network (or even the whole network) from accessing certain services on the Internet. For example, you may want to prohibit one computer from surﬁng the Web, another computer from transferring ﬁles using FTP, and the whole network from receiving incoming e-mail.

Access Control deﬁnes restrictions on the types of requests that may pass from the home network out to the Internet, and thus may block trafﬁc ﬂowing in both directions. It can also be used for allowing speciﬁc services when maximum security is conﬁgured. In the e-mail example given above, you may prevent computers in the home network from receiving e-mail by blocking their outgoing requests to POP3 servers on the Internet.

There are numerous services you should consider blocking, such as popular game and ﬁle sharing servers. For example, if you want to make sure that your employees do not put your business at risk from illegally traded copyright ﬁles, you may want to block several popular P2P and ﬁle sharing applications.

To allow or restrict services:

1. Select the ‘Access Control’ tab in the ‘Security’ management screen. The ‘Access Control’ screen will appear (see Figure 5.72).

Figure 5.72 Access Control

2. Click the ‘New Entry’ link. The ‘Add Access Control Rule’ screen will appear (see Figure 5.73).

Figure 5.73 Access Control Add Rule

3. The Address combo box provides you the ability to specify the computer or group of computers for which you would like to apply the access control rule. You can select between any or a speciﬁc computer address in your LAN. If you choose the ‘User deﬁned’ option, the screen will refresh, and you will be directed to the ‘Edit Network Object’ page where you can specify a network object. To learn more about network objects, see chapter 6.6.8.

4. The Protocol combo box lets you select or specify the type of protocol that will be used. In addition to the list of popular protocols it provides, you may also choose any or a speciﬁc protocol. If you choose the ‘User deﬁned’ option, the screen will refresh, and you will be redirected to the ‘Edit Service’ page where you can specify a protocol. To learn more about deﬁning protocols, see chapter 6.6.15.

5. The Schedule combo box allows you to deﬁne the time period during which this rule will take effect. You can select between ‘Always’ or a speciﬁc schedule. If you choose the ‘Specify Schedule’ option, the screen will refresh, and you will be directed to the ‘Edit Scheduler rule’ page where you can deﬁne your own rule. To learn more about deﬁning scheduler rules, see section 6.6.4.

Figure 5.74 Access control Rule Summary

5.3.3 Port forwarding

In its default state, GlobeSurfer ® II blocks all external users from connecting to or communicating with your network. Therefore the system is safe from hackers who may try to intrude on the network and damage it. However, you may want to expose your network to the Internet in certain limited and controlled ways in order to enable some applications to work from the LAN (game, voice and chat applications, for example) and to enable Internet-access to servers in the home network. The Port Forwarding feature supports both of these functionalities. If you are familiar with networking terminology and concepts, you may have encountered this topic referred to as “Local Servers”.

The ‘Port Forwarding’ tab lets you deﬁne the applications that require special handling by GlobeSurfer ® II. All you have to do is select the application’s protocol and the local IP address of the computer that will be using or providing the service. If required, you may add new protocols in addition to the most common ones provided by GlobeSurfer ® II.

For example, if you wanted to use a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) application on one of your PCs, you would simply select ‘FTP’ from the list and enter the local IP address or host name of the designated computer. All FTP-related data arriving at GlobeSurfer ® II from the Internet will henceforth be forwarded to the speciﬁed computer.

Similarly, if you want to grant Internet users access to servers inside your home network, you must identify each service that you want to provide and the PC that will provide it. For example, if you want to host a Web server inside the home network you must select ‘HTTP’ from the list of protocols and enter the local IP address or host name of the computer that will host the Web server. When an Internet user points her browser to the external IP address of GlobeSurfer ® II, the gateway will forward the incoming HTTP request to the computer that is hosting the Web server.

Additionally, port forwarding enables you to redirect trafﬁc to a different port instead of the one to which it was designated. Lets say, that you have a Web server running on your PC on port 8080 and you want to grant access to this server to anyone who accesses GlobeSurfer ® II via HTTP. To accomplish this, do the following:

•

Deﬁne a port forwarding rule for the HTTP service, with the PC’s IP or host name.

•

Specify 8080 in the ‘Forward to Port’ ﬁeld.

All incoming HTTP trafﬁc will now be forwarded to the PC running theWeb server on port 8080. When setting a port forwarding service, you must ensure that the port is not already in

use by another application, which may stop functioning. A common example is when using SIP signaling in Voice over IP - the port used by the gateway’s VoIP application (5060) is the same port on which port forwarding is set for LAN SIP agents.

Note: Some applications, such as FTP, TFTP, PPTP and H323, require the support of special speciﬁc Application Level Gateway (ALG) modules in order to work inside the home network. Data packets associated with these applications contain information that allows them to be routed correctly. An ALG is needed to handle these packets and ensure that they reach their intended destinations. GlobeSurfer ® II is equipped with a robust list of ALG modules in order to enable maximum functionality in the home network.

Note: The ALG is automatically assigned based on the destination port.

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

To add a new port forwarding service:

1. Select the ‘Port Forwarding’ tab in the ‘Security’ management screen. The ‘Port Forwarding’ screen will appear (see Figure 5.75).

Figure 5.75 Port Forwarding

2. Click the ‘New Entry’ link. The ‘Add Port Forwarding Rule’ screen will appear (see Figure 5.76).

Figure 5.76 Add port Forwarding Rule

3. Enter the IP address or the host name of the computer that will provide the service (the “server”). Note that only one LAN computer can be assigned to provide a speciﬁc service or application.

5. By default, GlobeSurfer ® II will forward trafﬁc to the same port as the incoming port. If you wish to redirect trafﬁc to a different port, select the ‘Specify’ option. The screen will refresh, and an additional ﬁeld will appear enabling you to enter the port number:

Figure 5.77 Forward to a speciﬁc port

6. The Schedule combo box allows you to deﬁne the time period during which this rule will take effect. You can select between ‘Always’ or a speciﬁc schedule. If you choose the ‘User Deﬁned’ option, the screen will refresh, and you will be directed to the ‘Edit Scheduler rule’ page where you can deﬁne your own rule. To learn more about deﬁning scheduler rules, see section 6.6.4.

7. Click the ‘OK’ button to save your changes. The ‘Port Forwarding’ screen will display a summary of the rule that you just added (see Figure 5.78).

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

Figure 5.78 Port Forwarding Summary

You may edit the port forwarding rule by modifying its entry under the ‘Local Host’ column in the ‘Port Forwarding’ screen.

To modify an entry:

1. Click the Edit action icon for the rule. The ‘Edit Port Forwarding Rule’ screen will appear (see Figure 5.79). This screen allows you to edit all the parameters that you conﬁgured when creating the port forwarding rule.

Figure 5.79 Port Forwardin Edit Rule

2. Click the ‘OK’ button to save your changes and return to the ‘Port Forwarding’ screen.

You can disable a port forwarding rule in order to make a service unavailable without having to remove the rule from the ‘Port Forwarding’ screen. This may be useful if you wish to make the service unavailable only temporarily and expect that you will want to reinstate it in the future.

•

To temporarily disable a rule, clear the check box next to the service name.

•

To reinstate it at a later time, simply reselect the check box.

•

To remove a rule, click the Remove action icon for the service. The service will be permanently removed.

5.3.4 DMZ host

The DMZ (Demilitarized) Host feature allows one local computer to be exposed to the Internet. Designate a DMZ host when:

•

You wish to use a special-purpose Internet service, such as an on-line game or video-conferencing program, that is not

present in the Port Forwarding list and for which no port range information is available.

•

You are not concerned with security and wish to expose one computer to all services without restriction.

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

Warning: A DMZ host is not protected by the ﬁrewall and may be vulnerable to attack. Designating a DMZ host may also put other computers in the home network at risk. When designating a DMZ host, you must consider the security implications and protect it if necessary.

An incoming request for access to a service in the home network, such as a Web-server, is ﬁelded by GlobeSurfer ® II. GlobeSurfer ® II will forward this request to the DMZ host (if one is designated) unless the service is being provided by another PC in the home network (assigned in Port Forwarding), in which case that PC will receive the request instead.

To designate a local computer as a DMZ Host:

1. Select the ‘DMZ Host’ tab in the ‘Security’ management screen. The ‘DMZ Host’ screen will appear (see Figure 5.80).

Figure 5.80 DMZ Host

2. Enter the local IP address of the computer that you would like to designate as a DMZ host, and select the check-box. Note that only one LAN computer may be a DMZ host at any time.

3. Click ‘OK’ to save the settings.

You can disable the DMZ host so that it will not be fully exposed to the Internet, but keep its IP address recorded on the ‘DMZ Host’ screen. This may be useful if you wish to disable the DMZ host but expect that you will want to enable it again in the future.

To disable the DMZ host so that it will not be fully exposed to the Internet, clear the check-box next to the DMZ IP designation, and click ‘OK’. To reinstate it at a later time, simply reselect the check box.

5.3.5 Port triggering

Port triggering can be used for dynamic port forwarding conﬁguration. By setting port triggering rules, you can allow inbound trafﬁc to arrive at a speciﬁc LAN host, using ports different than those used for the outbound trafﬁc. This is called port triggering since the outbound trafﬁc triggers to which ports inbound trafﬁc is directed.

For example, consider a gaming server that is accessed using UDP protocol on port 2222. The gaming server responds by connecting the user using UDP on port 3333 when starting gaming sessions. In such a case you must use port triggering, since this scenario conﬂicts with the following default ﬁrewall settings:

The ﬁrewall blocks inbound trafﬁc by default.

The server replies to GlobeSurfer ® II’s IP, and the connection is not sent back to your host, since it is not part of a session.

In order to solve this you need to deﬁne a Port Triggering entry, which allows inbound trafﬁc on UDP port 3333, only after a LAN host generated trafﬁc to UDP port 2222. This will result in accepting the inbound trafﬁc from the gaming server, and sending it back to the LAN Host which originated the outgoing trafﬁc to UDP port 2222.

Select the ‘Port Triggering’ tab in the ‘Security’ management screen. The ‘Port Triggering’ screen will appear (see Figure 5.81). This screen will list all of the port triggering entries.

Advanced ﬁltering is designed to allow comprehensive control over the ﬁrewall’s behavior. You can deﬁne speciﬁc input and output rules, control the order of logically similar sets of rules and make a distinction between rules that apply to WAN and LAN devices.

To view GlobeSurfer ® II’s advanced ﬁltering options, click the ‘Advanced Filtering’ tab in the ‘Security’ management screen. The ‘Advanced Filtering’ screen will appear (see Figure 5.90).

Figure 5.90 Advanced Filtering

This screen is divided into two identical sections, one for ‘Input Rule Sets’ and the other for ‘Output Rule Sets’, which are for conﬁguring inbound and outbound trafﬁc, respectively. Each section is comprised of subsets, which can be grouped into three main subjects:

•

Initial rules - rules deﬁned here will be applied ﬁrst, on all gateway devices.

•

Network devices rules - rules can be deﬁned per each gateway device.

•

Final rules - rules deﬁned here will be applied last, on all gateway devices.

Note: The order of the ﬁrewall rules’ appearance in the ‘Advanced Filtering’ screen represents the sequence by which they will be applied.

There are numerous rules automatically inserted by the ﬁrewall in order to provide improved security and block harmful attacks.

To conﬁgure an advanced ﬁltering rule:

1. After choosing the trafﬁc direction and the device on which to set the rule, click the appropriate New Entry link. The ‘Add Advanced Filter’ screen will appear (see Figure 5.91).

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

Figure 5.91 Add Advanced Filtering

Matching To apply a rule, a matching must be made between IP addresses, and a trafﬁc protocol must be deﬁned:

•

‘Source Address’ The source address of the packets sent to or received from the network object (computer A in the

above example). To add an address: a. Select the ‘User Deﬁned’ option in the combo box. The screen will refresh and you will be directed to the ‘Edit

Network Object’ page.

b. Use the ‘Edit Network Object’ page to deﬁne your address. Please refer to section 6.6.8 in order to learn how to do so.

•

‘Destination Address’ The destination address of the packets sent to or received from the network object. This address

can be conﬁgured in the same manner as the source address.

•

‘Protocol’ You may choose a speciﬁc trafﬁc protocol from the combo box, or add a new one. To add a new trafﬁc protocol:

a. Select the ‘User Deﬁned’ option in the combo box. The screen will refresh and you will be directed to the ‘Edit

Service’ page.

b. Use the ‘Edit Service’ page to deﬁne your protocol. Please refer to section 6.6.15 in order to learn how to do so.

‘Operation’ Deﬁne what action the rule will take, by selecting one of the following radio buttons:

•

‘DROP’ Deny access to packets that match the source and destination IP addresses and service ports deﬁned in

‘Matching’.

•

‘REJECT’ Deny access to packets that match the source and destination IP addresses and service ports deﬁned in

‘Matching’ and sends and sends an ICMP error or a TCP reset to the origination peer.

•

‘ACCEPT’ Allow access to packets that match the source and destination IP addresses and service ports deﬁned in

‘Matching’. The data transfer session will be handled using Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI).

•

‘ACCEPT PACKET’ Allow access to packets that match the source and destination IP addresses and service ports deﬁned

in ‘Matching’. The data transfer session will not be handled using Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), meaning that other packets that match this rule will not be automatically allowed access. For example, this can useful when creating rules that allow broadcasting.

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

‘Logging’ Monitor the rule:

•

‘Log Packets Matched by This Rule’ Check this check box to log the ﬁrst packet from a connection that was matched by

this rule.

‘Schedule’ By default, the rule will always be active. However, you can conﬁgure scheduler rules in order to deﬁne time segments during which the rule may be active. To learn how to conﬁgure scheduler rules please refer to section 6.6.4.

Allow Incoming Access to the SSH Server Similar to Telnet, this protocol is used to create a secured commandline session and gain access to all system settings and parameters.

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

Note: Web-Management, Telnet and SSH may be used to modify settings of the frewall or disable it. The user may also change local IP addresses and other settings, making it diffcult or impossible to access the gateway from the home network. Therefore, remote access to Telnet or HTTP services should be blocked and should only be permitted when absolutely necessary.

‘Allow SNMP Control and Diagnostic Requests’: Used to allow Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) requests to remotely con gure and monitor GlobeSurfer ® II. For more information, please refer to section Error! Reference source not found.

‘Diagnostic Tools’: Used for troubleshooting and remote system management by you or your Internet Service Provider. The utilities that can be used are Ping and Traceroute (over UDP).

6.6.2 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

SNMP enables network management systems to remotely conﬁgure and monitor GlobeSurfer ® II. Your Internet service provider (ISP) may use SNMP in order to identify and resolve technical problems. Your ISP should provide technical information regarding the properties of GlobeSurfer ® II’s SNMP agent.

Figure 6.21 SNMP

To conﬁgure GlobeSurfer ® II’s SNMP agent perform the following:

1. Click ‘Simple Network Management Protocol’ on the ‘Advanced’ screen of the Management Console. The SNMP screen will appear (see Figure 6.21).

2. Check the ‘enable SNMP agent’ checkbox and specify the SNMP parameters, as provided by your Internet service provider:

‘Read-Only/Read-Write Community Names’

SNMP community strings are passwords used in SNMP messages between the management system and GlobeSurfer ® II. A read-only community allows the manager to monitor GlobeSurfer ® II. A read-write community allows the manager to both monitor and conﬁgure GlobeSurfer ® II.

‘Trusted peer’

The IP address, or subnets of addresses, that identify which remote management stations are allowed to perform SNMP operations on GlobeSurfer ® II.

‘SNMP traps’

6.6.3 Universal Plug and Play

To access the UPnP settings perform the following:

1. Click ‘Universal Plug and Play’ on the ‘Advanced’ screen of the management console. The Universal Plug and Play settings screen will be displayed (see Figure 6.22).

2. Check the Allow other network users to control GlobeSurfer ® II’s setwork features checkbox, to enable the UPnP feature. This will enable you to deﬁne UPnP services on any of the LAN hosts. Check the Enable automatic cleanup of old unused UPnP services checkbox, to enable automatic cleanup of invalid rules. When enabled, this feature checks validity of all the UPnP services and rules every 5 minutes. Any UPnP deﬁned service that is found to be old and not in use, is removed, unless any user deﬁned rule (see Security screen) depends on it. This feature is disabled by default.

Since there is a limitation on the maximum number of UPnP deﬁned services to 256, you should want to enable the cleanup feature if you might exceed this limit. In which case might the limit be exceeded UPnP services are not deleted when disconnecting a computer without proper shutdown of the UpnP application (e.g. messenger). Thus, if you are running a boingo, services may often not be deleted, and will eventually lead to exhaustion of rules and services, and no new services could be deﬁned. In this scenario the cleanup feature will ﬁnd the services that are no longer valid and will remove them, preventing services exhaustion.

6.6.5 Certiﬁcates

6.6.5.1 Overview

Public-key cryptography uses a pair of keys: a public key and a corresponding private key. These keys can play opposite roles, either encrypting or decrypting data. Your public key is made known to the world, while your private key is kept secret.

The public and private keys are mathematically associated; however it is computationally infeasible to deduce the private key from the public key. Anyone who has the public key can encrypt information that can only be decrypted with the matching private key. Similarly, the person with the private key can encrypt information that can only be decrypted with the matching public key.

Technically, both public and private keys are large numbers that work with cryptographic algorithms to produce encrypted material. The primary beneﬁt of public-key cryptography is that it allows people who have no preexisting security arrangement to authenticate each other and exchange messages securely.

GlobeSurfer ® II makes use of public-key cryptography to encrypt and authenticate keys for the encryption of Wireless and VPN data communication, the Web Based Management (WBM) utility, and secured telnet.

6.6.5.2 Digital Certiﬁcates

When working with public-key cryptography, you should be careful and make sure that you are using the correct person’s public key. Man-in-the-middle attacks pose a potential threat, where an ill-intending 3rd party posts a phony key with the name and user ID of an intended recipient. Data transfer that is intercepted by the owner of the counterfeit key can fall in the wrong hands. Digital certiﬁcates provide a means for establishing whether a public key truly belongs to the supposed owner. It is a digital form of credential. It has information on it that identiﬁes you, and an authorized statement to the effect that someone else has conﬁrmed your identity.

Digital certiﬁcates are used to foil attempts by an ill-intending party to use an unauthorized public key. A digital certiﬁcate consists of the following:

A PUBLIC KEY

Certiﬁcate information

The “identity” of the user, such as name, user ID and so on.

Digital signatures

A statement stating that the information enclosed in the certiﬁcate has been vouched for by a Certiﬁcate Authority (CA).

Binding this information together, a certiﬁcate is a public key with identiﬁcation forms attached, coupled with a stamp of approval by a trusted party.

6.6.5.3 X.509 Certiﬁcate Format

GlobeSurfer ® II supports X.509 certiﬁcates that comply with the ITU-T X.509 international standard. An X.509 certiﬁcate is a collection of a standard set of ﬁelds containing information about a user or device and their corresponding public key. The X.509 standard deﬁnes what information goes into the certiﬁcate, and describes how to encode it (the data format). All X.509 certiﬁcates have the following data:

The certiﬁcate holder’s public key

The public key of the certiﬁcate holder, together with an algorithm identiﬁer that speciﬁes which cryptosystem the key belongs to and any associated key parameters.

The serial number of the certiﬁcate The entity (application or person) that created the certiﬁcate is responsible for assigning it a unique serial number to distinguish it from other certiﬁcates it issues. This information is used in numerous ways; for example when a certiﬁcate is revoked, its serial number is placed on a Certiﬁcate Revocation List (CRL).

The certiﬁcate holder’s unique identiﬁer

This name is intended to be unique across the Internet. A DN consists of multiple subsections and may look something like this: CN=Option Wireless Sweden AB, EMAIL=info@option.com, OU=Development Department, O=Option Wireless Sweden AB, C=SE (These refer to the subject’s Common Name, Organizational Unit,

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

Organization, and Country.)

The certiﬁcate’s validity period

The certiﬁcate’s start date/time and expiration date/time; indicates when the certiﬁcate will expire.

The unique name of the certiﬁcate issuer

The unique name of the entity that signed the certiﬁcate. This is normally a CA. Using the certiﬁcate implies trusting the entity that signed this certiﬁcate. (Note that in some cases, such as root or top-level CA certiﬁcates, the issuer signs its own certiﬁcate.) The digital signature of the issuer the signature using the private key of the entity that issued the certiﬁcate.

The signature algorithm identiﬁer

Identiﬁes the algorithm used by the CA to sign the certiﬁcate.

6.6.5.4 GlobeSurfer ® II Certiﬁcate Stores

GlobeSurfer ® II maintains two certiﬁcate stores:

1. GlobeSurfer ® II Local Store This store contains a list of approved certiﬁcates that are used to identify GlobeSurfer ® II to its clients. The list also includes certiﬁcate requests that are pending a CA’s endorsement. You can obtain certiﬁcates for GlobeSurfer ® II using the following methods:

•

Requesting an X509 Certiﬁcate

This method creates both a private and a matching public key. The public key is then sent to the CA to be

certiﬁed.

•

Creating a Self-Signed Certiﬁcate

This method is the same as requesting a certiﬁcate, only the authentication of the public key does not

require a CA. This is mainly intended for use within small organizations.

•

Loading a PKCS#12

Format Certiﬁcate This method loads a certiﬁcate using an already available and certiﬁed set of private

and public keys.

2. Certiﬁcate Authority (CA) Store This store contains a list of the trusted certiﬁcate authorities, which is used to check certiﬁcates presented by GlobeSurfer ® II clients.

6.6.5.4.1 Requesting an X509 Certiﬁcate

To obtain an X509 certiﬁcate, you must ask a CA to issue you one. You provide your public key, proof that you possess the corresponding private key, and some speciﬁc information about yourself. You then digitally sign the information and send the whole package – the certiﬁcate request – to the CA. The CA then performs some due diligence in verifying that the information you provided is correct and, if so, generates the certiﬁcate and returns it.

You might think of an X509 certiﬁcate as looking like a standard paper certiﬁcate with a public key taped to it. It has your name and some information about you on it, plus the signature of the person who issued it to you.

6.6.6 Radius

For authentication to work, the client’s transmission must go through GlobeSurfer ® II, and reach the back-end server that performs the actual authentication. The wireless client contacts the access point, which in turn communicates with the Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) server. The RADIUS server veriﬁes the client’s credentials to determine whether the device is authorized to connect to the LAN. If the RADIUS server accepts the client, the server responds by exchanging data with GlobeSurfer ® II, including security keys for subsequent encrypted sessions.

Figure 6.42 Radius system setup

To conﬁgure the RADIUS authentication mechanism, perform the following steps:

1. Click the ‘RADIUS’ icon in the ‘Advanced’ screen of the Web-based Management. The RADIUS screen will appear (see Figure 6.43).

6.6.7 Routing

Access GlobeSurfer ® II’s routing settings by clicking the ‘Routing’ icon from the ‘Advanced’ screen.

Figure 6.44 Routing

You can add, edit and delete routing rules from the routing table (see Figure 6.44) in the manner described in Section 3.4. When adding a routing rule, you need to specify (see Figure 6.45):

‘Name’ Select the type of network device (LAN Bridge or WAN Cellular)

‘Destination’ The destination is the destination host, subnet address, network address, or default route. The destination for

a default route is 0.0.0.0.

‘Netmask’ The network mask is used in conjunction with the destination to determine when a route is used.

‘Gateway’ Enter the IP address of the GlobeSurfer ® II.

‘Metric’ A measurement of the preference of a route. Typically, the lowest metric is the most preferred route. If multiple

routes exist to a given destination network, the route with the lowest metric is used.

Figure 6.45 Route setttings

‘Routing Information Protocol (RIP)’ Select this check-box in order to enable connections previously deﬁned to use RIP. If this check-box is not selected, RIP will be disabled for all connections, including those deﬁned to use RIP.

‘Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)’ GlobeSurfer ® II provides support for IGMP multicasting, which allows hosts connected to a network to be updated whenever an important change occurs in the network. A multicast is simply a message that is sent simultaneously to a pre-deﬁned group of recipients. When you join a multicast group you will receive all messages addressed to the group, much like what happens when an e-mail message is sent to a mailing list. IGMP multicasting may be useful when connected to the Internet through a router. When an application running on a LAN computer sends out a request to join a multicast group, GlobeSurfer ® II will listen and intercept this group’s messages, sending them to the subscribed application.

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

‘Domain Routing’ When GlobeSurfer ® II’s DNS server receives a reply from an external DNS server, it will add a routing entry for the IP address of the reply through the device from which it arrived. This means that future packets from this IP address will be routed through the device from which the reply arrived.

6.6.8 Network objects

Network Objects is a method used to abstractly deﬁne a set of LAN hosts, according to one or more MAC address, IP address, and host name. Deﬁning such a group can assist when conﬁguring system rules. For example, network objects can be used when conﬁguring GlobeSurfer ® II’s security ﬁltering settings such as IP address ﬁltering, host name ﬁltering or MAC address ﬁltering.

You can use network objects in order to apply security rules based on host names instead of IP addresses. This may be useful, since IP addresses change from time to time. Moreover, it is possible to deﬁne network objects according to MAC addresses, making rule application more persistent against network conﬁguration settings. To deﬁne a network object:

1. Click the ‘Network Objects’ icon in the ‘Advanced’ screen of the Web-based Management. The ‘Network Objects’ screen will appear (see Figure 6.46).

Figure 6.46 Network objects

2. Click the ‘New Entry’ link, the ‘Edit Network Object’ screen will appear (see Figure 6.47).

Figure 6.47 Edit network object

3. Name the network object in the Description ﬁeld, and click ‘New Entry’ to actually create it. The ‘Edit tem’ screen will appear (see Figure 6.48). The source address can be entered in one of the following methods:

• IP Address

• IP Subnet

• IP Range

• MAC Address

• Host Name

When selecting a method from the combo box, the screen will refresh, presenting the respective ﬁelds by which to enter the

relevant information.

4. Select a method and enter the source address accordingly.

5. Click ‘OK’ to save the settings.

6.6.9 Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service enables you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing your computer to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. Typically, when you connect to the Internet, your service provider assigns an unused IP address from a pool of IP addresses, and this address is used only for the duration of a speciﬁc connection. Dynamically assigning addresses extends the usable pool of available IP addresses, whilst maintaining a constant domain name.

When using the DDNS service, each time the IP address provided by your ISP changes, the DNS database will change accordingly to reﬂect the change. In this way, even though your IP address will change often, your domain name will remain constant and accessible.

6.6.9.1 Opening a Dynamic DNS Account

In order to use the DDNS feature, you must ﬁrst obtain a DDNS account. For example, you can open a free account at http://www.dyndns.org/account/create.html. When applying for an account, you will need to specify a user name and password. Please have them readily available when customizing GlobeSurfer ® II’s DDNS support.

6.6.9.2 Using Dynamic DNS

Use the DDNS feature to deﬁne different a static host name for your WAN connection.

1. Access the Dynamic DNS settings by clicking the ‘Dynamic DNS’ icon in the ‘Advanced’ screen. The ‘Dynamic DNS’ connections screen will appear (see Figure 6.49).

‘Ofﬂine’

If you wish to temporarily take your site of ine (prevent trafc from reaching your DDNS domain name), check this box to enable redirection of DNS requests to an alternative URL, predeﬁned in your DDNS account. The availability of this feature depends on your account’s level and type of service.

4. Click ‘OK’ to save the settings.

6.6.10 IP address distribution

GlobeSurfer ® II’s Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol (DHCP) server makes it possible to easily add computers that are conﬁgured as DHCP clients to the home network. It provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses and delivering network conﬁguration parameters to such hosts. GlobeSurfer ® II’s default DHCP server resides on the LAN bridge.

A client (host) sends out a broadcast message on the LAN requesting an IP address for itself. The DHCP server then checks its list of available addresses and leases a local IP address to the host for a speciﬁc period of time and simultaneously designates this IP address as `taken’. At this point the host is conﬁgured with an IP address for the duration of the lease. The host can choose to renew an expiring lease or let it expire. If it chooses to renew a lease then it will also receive current information about network services, as it did with the original lease, allowing it to update its network conﬁgurations to reﬂect any changes that may have occurred since it ﬁrst connected to the network. If the host wishes to terminate a lease before its expiration it can send a release message to the DHCP server, which will then make the IP address available for use by others.

GlobeSurfer ® II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S REFERENCE MANUAL

GlobeSurfer ® II’s DHCP server:

• Displays a list of all DHCP host devices connected to GlobeSurfer ® II

• Deﬁnes the range of IP addresses that can be allocated in the LAN

• Deﬁnes the length of time for which dynamic IP addresses are allocated

• Provides the above conﬁgurations for each LAN device and can be conﬁgured and enabled/disabled separately for each LAN device

• Can assign a static lease to a LAN PC so that it receives the same IP address each time it connects to the network, even if this IP address is within the range of addresses that the DHCP server may assign to other computers

• Provides the DNS server with the host name and IP address of each PC that is connected to the LAN

Additionally, GlobeSurfer ® II can act as a DHCP relay, escalating DHCP responsibilities to a WAN DHCP server. In this case, GlobeSurfer ® II will act merely as a router, while its LAN hosts will receive their IP addresses from a DHCP server on the WAN.

6.6.10.1 DHCP Server Settings

The ﬁrst IP address that may be assigned to a LAN host. Since the gateway’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1, this address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater.

‘End IP Address’

The last IP address in the range that can be used to automatically assign IP addresses to LAN hosts.

‘Subnet Mask’

A mask used to determine to what subnet an IP address belongs. An example of a subnet mask value is

255.255.0.0.

‘Lease Time In Minutes’

Each device will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server for this amount of time, when it connects to the network. When the lease expires the server will determine if the computer has disconnected from the network. If it has, the server may reassign this IP address to a newly connected computer. This feature ensures that IP addresses that are not in use will become available for other computers on the network.

‘Provide Host Name If Not Speciﬁed by Client’

If the DHCP client does not have a host name, the gateway will automatically assign one for him.

6.6.11 DNS server

Domain Name System (DNS) provides a service that translates domain names into IP addresses and vice versa. GlobeSurfer ® II’s DNS server is an auto-learning DNS, which means that when a new computer is connected to the network the DNS server learns its name and automatically adds it to the DNS table. Other network users may immediately communicate with this computer using either its name or its IP address. In addition GlobeSurfer ® II’s DNS server:

•

Shares a common database of domain names and IP addresses with the DHCP server.

•

Supports multiple subnets within the LAN simultaneously.

•

Automatically appends a domain name to unqualiﬁed names.

•

Allows new domain names to be added to the database using GlobeSurfer ® II’s WBM.

•

Permits a computer to have multiple host names.

•

Permits a host name to have multiple IPs (needed if a host has multiple network cards).

The DNS server does not require conﬁguration. However, you may wish to view the list of computers known by the DNS, edit the host name or IP address of a computer on the list, or manually add a new computer to the list.

6.6.11.1 Viewing and Modifying the DNS Table

To remove a host from the DNS table:

1. Click the ‘Delete’ button that appears in the Action column. The entry will be removed from the table.

6.6.12 IPSEC Internet Protocol Security

Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a series of guidelines for the protection of Internet Protocol (IP) communications. It speciﬁes procedures for securing private information transmitted over public networks. The IPSec protocols include:

•

AH (Authentication Header) provides packet-level authentication.

•

ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) provides encryption and authentication.

•

IKE (Internet Key Exchange) negotiates connection parameters, including keys, for the other two services.

Services supported by the IPSec protocols (AH, ESP) include conﬁdentiality (encryption), authenticity (proof of sender), integrity (detection of data tampering), and replay protection (defense against unauthorized resending of data).

IPSec also speciﬁes methodologies for key management. Internet Key Exchange (IKE), the IPSec key management protocol, deﬁnes a series of steps to establish keys for encrypting and decrypting information; it deﬁnes a common language on which communications between two parties is based. Developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), IPSec and IKE together standardize the way data protection is performed, thus making it possible for security systems developed by different vendors to interoperate.
