I. Introduction

SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router (referred as VPN Router hereby) is a business level security router that efficiently integrates new generation multiple WAN-port devices. It meets the needs of medium enterprises, internet cafés, campus, dorm and communities, etc. Apart from its internet connectivity that suits the broadband market, VPN Router has a built-in QoS and VLAN switching board which enables it to fulfill most enterprise and internet cafe firewall needs.

VPN Router has 2 10/100 Base-T/TX Ethernets (RJ45) WAN ports. These WAN ports can support auto load balance mode, exclusive mode (remaining WAN balance), and stategy routing mode for high-efficiency network. They offer super flexibility for network set-up. Moreover, these WAN ports also support DHCP, fixed IP, PPPoE, transparent bridge, VPN connection, port binding, static routing, dynamic routing, NAT, one to one NAT, PAT, MAC Clone, as well as DDNS. As for LAN ports including one DMZ, they support 4 10/100 Base-T/TX Ethernet (RJ45) ports and provide the features of virtual route, Microsoft UPnP, VLAN, Multi Subnet, and transparent bridge mode. Internet IP addresses can also be used in intranet.

To fulfill the requirement for a highly secure and integrated firewall, VPN Router has a

64-bit

hardware acceleration,

high-speed, high-efficiency processor embedded. With high processing speed, plusing high standard SDRAM and Flash, VPN Router brings users super networking efficiency. Its processing speed and capacity are almost equal to those of expensive enterprise-level VPN Routers. This is why the device is so popular with modern enterprises.

In addition to internet connectability, for the broadband market, VPN Router has the function of VPN virtual network connection. It is equipped with a virtual private network hardware acceleration mode which is widely used in modern enterprises, and offers full VPN functionality.

Qno is a supporter of the IPSec and SSL Protocol. IPSec/SSL VPN provides DES, 3DES, AES-128 encryption, MD5, SH1 certification, IKE Pre-Share Key, or manual password interchange. VPN Router also supports aggressive mode. When a connection is lost, VPN Router will automatically re-connect. In addition, the device features NetBIOS transparency, and supports IP grouping for connections between clients and host in the virtual private network.

VPN Router offers the function of a standard PPTP server, which is equipped with connection setting status. Each WAN port can be set up with multiple DDNS at the same time. It is also capable of establishing VPN connections with dynamic IP addresses.

VPN Router also has unique QVM VPN- SmartLink IPSec VPN. Just input VPN server IP, user name, and password, and IPSec VPN will be automatically set up. Through VPN Router exclusive QVM function, users can set up QVM to work as a server, and have it accept other QVM series products from client ports. QVM offers easy VPN allocation for users; users can do it even without a network administrator. VPN Router enables enterprises to benefit from VPN without being troubled with technical and network management problems. The central control function enables the host to log in remote client computers at any time. Security and secrecy are guaranteed to meet the IPSec standard, so as to ensure the continuity of VPN service.

The advanced built-in firewall function enables VPN Router to resist most attacks from the Internet. It utilizes active detection technology SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection). The SPI firewall functions mainly within the network by dynamically inspecting each link. The SPI firewall also has a warning function for

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

the application process; therefore, it can refuse links to non-standard communication protocols. VPN Router supports network address translation (NAT) function and routing modes. It makes the network environment more flexible and easier to manage.

Through web- based UI, VPN Router enables enterprises to have their own network access rules . To control web access, users can build and edit filter lists. It also enables users to ban or monitor websites according to their needs. By the filter setting and complete OS management, school and business internet management will be clearly improved. VPN Router offers various on-line SysLog records. It supports on-line management setup tools; it makes setting up networks easy to understand. It also reinforces the management of network access rules, VPN, and all other network services.

VPN Router fully protects the safety of communication between all offices and branches of an organization. It helps to free enterprises from increasing hacker intrusion. With an exclusive independent operation platform, users are able to set up and use a firewall without professional network knowledge. VPN Router setting up and management can be carried out through web browsers, such as IE, Netscape, etc.

6.2 Multi- WAN Setting

When you have multiple WAN gateways, you can use Traffic Management and Protocol Binding function to fulfill WAN road balancing, so that we can have highest network bandwidth efficiency.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

6.2.1 Load Balance Mode

Auto Load Balance Mode

When Auto Load Balance mode is selected, the device will use sessions or IP and the WAN bandwidth automatically allocate connections to achieve load balancing for external connections. The network bandwidth is set by what users input for it. For example, if the upload bandwidth of both WANs is 512Kbit/sec, the automatic load ratio will be 1:1; if one of the upload bandwidths is 1024Kbit/sec while the other is 512Kbit/sec, the automatic load ratio will be 2:1. Therefore, to ensure that the device can balance the actual network load, please input real upload and download bandwidths.

 Session Balance: If “By Session” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically

allocate connections based on session number to achieve network load balance.

 IP Session Balance: If “By IP” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate

connections based on IP amount to achieve network load balance.

Note!

For either session balancing or IP connection balancing, collocation with Protocol Binding will provide a more flexible application for bandwidth. Users can assign a specific Intranet IP to go through a specific service provider for connection, or assign an IP for a specific destination to go through the WAN users assign to connect with the Internet.

For example, if users want to assign IP 192.168.1.100 to go through WAN 1 when connecting with the Internet, or assign all Intranet IP to go through WAN 2 when connecting with servers with port 80, or assign all Intranet IP to go through WAN 1 when connecting with IP 211.1.1.1, users can do that by configuring “Protocol Binding”.

Attention! When the Auto Load Balance mode is collocated with Protocol Binding, only IP

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

addresses or servers that are configured in the connection rule will follow the rule for external connections; those which are not configured in the rule will still follow the device Auto Load Balance system.

Please refer to the explanations in 6.2.3 Configuring Protocol Binding for setting up Protocol

Binding and for examples of collocating router modes with Protocol Binding.

Specify WAN Binding Mode

This mode enables users to assign specific intranet IP addresses, destination application service ports or destination IP addresses to go through an assigned WAN for external connection. After being assigned, the specific WAN will only support those assigned Intranet IP addresses, specific destination application service ports, or specific destination IP addresses. Intranet IP, specific destination application service ports and specific destination IP that is not configured under the rules will go through other WANs for external connection. For unassigned WANs, users can select Load Balance mode and select session or IP for load balancing.

●

Session Balance: If “By Session” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate connections based on session number to achieve network load balance.

●

IP Balance: If “By IP” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate connections based on the number of IP addresses to achieve network load balance.

Note!

Only when a device assignment is collocated with Protocol Binding can the balancing function be brought into full play. For example, an assignment requiring all Intranet IP addresses to go through WAN 1 when connecting with service port 80, or go through WAN 1 when connecting with IP 211.1.1.1, must be set up in the Protocol Binding Configuration.

Attention: When assigning mode is selected, as in the above example, the IP(s) or service provider(s) configured in the connection rule will follow the rule for external connections, but those which are not configured in the rule will still follow the device Load Balance system to go through other WAN ports to connect with the Internet.

Please refer to the explanations in 6.2.3 Configuring Protocol Binding for setting up Protocol

Binding and for examples of collocating router mode with Protocol Binding.

Strategy Routing Mode

If strategy Routing is selected, the device will automatically allocate external connections based on

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

routing policy (Division of traffic between Telecom and Netcom is to be used in China) embedded in the device. All you have to do is to select the WAN (or WAN group) which is connected with Netcom; the device will then automatically dispatch the traffic for Netcom through that WAN to connect with the Internet and dispatch traffic for Telecom to go through the WAN connected with Telecom to the Internet accordingly. In this way, the traffic for Netcom and Telecom can be divided.

Set WAN Grouping:

If more than one WAN is connected with Netcom, to apply a similar division of traffic policy to these WANs, a combination for the WANs must be made. Click “Set WAN Grouping”; an interactive window as shown in the figure below will be displayed.

Name: To define a name for the WAN grouping in the box, such as

“Education” etc. The name is for recognizing different WAN groups.

Interface: Check the boxes for the WANs to be added into this combination.

Add To List: To add a WAN group to the grouping list. Delete selected: To remove selected WANs from the WAN grouping. Apply: Click “Apply” to save the modification.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Cancel: Click “Cancel” to cancel the modification. This only works before

“Apply” is clicked.

After the configuration is completed, in the China Netcom Policy window users can select WANs in

combination to connect with Netcom.

Import Strategy:

A division of traffic policy can be defined by users too. In the “Import Strategy” window, select the WAN or WAN group (ex. WAN 1) to be assigned and click the “Import IP Range” button; the dialogue box for document importation will be displayed accordingly. A policy document is an editable text document. It may contain a destination IP users designated. After the path for document importation has been selected, click “Import”, and then at the bottom of the configuration window click “Apply”. The device will then dispatch the traffic to the assigned destination IP through the WAN (ex. WAN 1) or WAN grouping users designated to the Internet.

To build a policy document users can use a text-based editor, such as Notepad, which is included with Windows system. Follow the text format in the figure below to key in the destination IP addresses users want to assign. For example, if the destination IP address range users want to designate is 140.115.1.1 ~

140.115.1.255, key in 140.115.1.1 ~ 140.115.1.255 in Notepad. The next destination IP address range should be keyed in the next line. Attention! Even if only one destination IP address is to be assigned, it should follow the same format. For example, if the destination IP address is 210.66.161.54, it should be keyed in as

210.66.161.54~210.66.161.54. After the document has been saved (the extension file name is .txt), users can import the IP range of self-defined strategy.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Note!

China Netcom strategy and self-defined strategy can coexist. However, if a destination IP is assigned by both China Netcom strategy and self-defined strategy, China Netcom strategy will take priority. In other words, traffic to that destination IP will be transmitted through the WAN (or WAN group) under China Netcom strategy.

6.2.2 Network Service Detection This is a detection system for network external services. If this option is selected, information such “Retry”

or “Retry Timeout” will be displayed. If two WANs are used for external connection, be sure to activate the NSD system, so as to avoid any unwanted break caused by the device misjudgment of the overload traffic for the WAN.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Interface:

Select the WAN Port that enables Network Service Detection.

Retry:

This selects the retry times for network service detection. The default is five times. If there is no feedback from the Internet in the configured “Retry Times", it will be judged as “External Connection Disconnected”.

Retry Timeout:

Delay time for external connection detection latency. The default is 30 seconds. After the retry timeout, external service detection will restart.

When Fail: (1) Generate the Error Condition in the System Log: If an ISP

connection failure is detected, an error message will be recorded in the System Log. This line will not be removed; therefore, the some of

the users on this line will not have normal connections. This option is suitable under the condition that one of the WAN connections has failed; the traffic going through this WAN to the destination IP cannot shift to another WAN to reach the destination. For example, if users want the traffic to 10.0.0.1 ~ 10.254.254.254 to go only through WAN1, while WAN2 is not to support these destinations, users should select this option. When the WAN1 connection is disconnected, packets for 10.0.0.1~10.254.254.254 cannot be transmitted through WAN 2, and there is no need to remove the connection when WAN 1 is disconnected.

(2) Keep System Log and Remove the Connection: If an ISP

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

connection failure is detected, no error message will be recorded in

the System Log. The packet transmitted through this WAN will be

shifted to the other WAN automatically, and be shifted back again

when the connection for the original WAN is repaired and

reconnected. This option is suitable when one of the WAN connections fails and the traffic going through this WAN to the destination IP should go through the other WAN to reach the destination. In this way, when any of the WAN connections is broken, other WANs can serve as a backup; traffic can be shifted to a WAN that is still connected.

Detecting Feedback Servers:

Default Gateway:

The local default communication gateway location, such as the IP address of an ADSL router, will be input automatically by the device. Therefore, users just need to check the option if this function is needed. Attention! Some gateways of an ADSL network will not affect packet detection. If users have an optical fiber box, or the IP issued by ISP is a public IP and the gateway is located at the port of the net café rather than at the IP provider’s port, do not activate this option.

ISP Host:

This is the detected location for the ISP port, such as the DNS IP address of ISP. When configuring an IP address for this function, make sure this IP is capable of receiving feedback stably and speedily. (Please input the DNS IP of the ISP port)

Remote Host:

This is the detected location for the remote Network Segment. This Remote Host IP should better be capable of receiving feedback stably and speedily. (Please input the DNS IP of the ISP port).

DNS Lookup Host:

This is the detect location for DNS. (Only a web address such as

www.hinet.net is acceptable here. Do not input an IP address.) In

addition, do not input the same web address in this box for two different WANs.

Note！

In the load balance mode for Assigned Routing, the first WAN port (WAN1) will be saved for the

traffic of the IP addresses or the application service ports that are not assigned to other WANs (WAN2).

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Therefore, in this mode, we recommend assigning one of the connections to the first WAN. When other WANs (WAN2) are broken and connection error remove (Remove the Connection) has been selected for the connection detection system, traffic will be shifted to the first WAN (WAN1). In addition, if the first WAN (WAN1) is broken, the traffic will be shifted to other WANs in turn. For example, the traffic will be shifted to WAN2.

6.2.3 Protocol Binding

Interface Configuration

Router allows maximum four WAN interface, the bandwidth and real connection of every WAN will impact the load balance mechanism; therefore you need to set the Bandwidth and the Network service detection by each WAN Port correctly.

In “Interface Configuration”, click “Edit” to enter the WAN port configuration.

Bandwidth Configuration

When Auto Load Balance mode is selected, the device will select sessions or IP and the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate connections to achieve load balancing for external connections. The network bandwidth is set by what users input for it. For example, if the upload bandwidth of both WANs is 512Kbit/sec, the automatic load ratio will be 1:1; if one of the upload bandwidths is 1024Kbit/sec, while the other is 512Kbit/sec, the automatic load ratio will be 2:1. Therefore, to ensure that the device can balance the actual network load, please input real upload and download bandwidths. The section refers to QoS configuration. Therefore, it should be set in QoS page. Please refer to 8.1 QoS bandwidth configuration.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Protocol Binding

Users can define specific IP addresses or specific application service ports to go through a user-assigned WAN for external connections. For any other unassigned IP addresses and services, WAN load balancing will still be carried out.

Note！

In the load balance mode of Assigned Routing, the first WAN (WAN1) cannot be assigned. It is to be saved for the IP addresses and the application Service Ports that are not assigned to other WANs (WAN2) for external connections. In other words, the first WAN (WAN1) cannot be configured with the Protocol Binding rule. This is to avoid a condition where all WANs are assigned to specific Intranet IP or Service Ports and destination IP, no more WAN ports will be available for other IP addresses and Service Ports.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Service:

This is to select the Binding Service Port to be activated. The default (such as ALL-TCP&UDP 0~65535, WWW 80~80, FTP 21 to 21, etc.) can be selected from the pull-down option list. The default Service is All 0~65535. Option List for Service Management: Click the button to enter the Service Port configuration page to add or remove default Service Ports on the option list.

Source IP:

Users can assign packets of specific Intranet virtual IP to go through a specific WAN port for external connection. In the boxes here, input the Intranet virtual IP address range; for example, if 192.168.1.100~150 is input, the binding range will be 100~150. If only specific Service Ports need to be designated, while specific IP designation is not necessary, input “0” in the IP boxes.

Dest. IP:

In the boxes, input an external static IP address. For example, if connections to destination IP address 210.11.1.1 are to be restricted to WAN1, the external static IP address 210.1.1.1 ~ 210.1.1.1 should be input. If a range of destinations is to be assigned, input the range such as

210.11.1.1 ~ 210.11.255.254. This means the Class B Network Segment of

210.11.x.x will be restricted to a specific WAN. If only specific Service Ports need to be designated, while a specific IP destination assignment is not required, input “0” into the IP boxes.

Interface:

Auto Load Balancing mode when enabled：

The collocation of the Auto Load Balance Mode and the Auto Load Mode will enable more flexible use of bandwidth. Users can assign specific Intranet IP addresses to specific destination application service ports or assign specific destination IP addresses to a WAN users choose for external connections.

Example 1：How do I set up Auto Load Balance Mode to assign the Intranet IP 192.168.1.100 to WAN2 for the Internet?

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

As in the figure below, select “All Traffic” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the boxes of “Source IP” input the source IP address “192.168.1.100” to “100”. Retain the original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (which means to include all Internet IP addresses). Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode.

Example 2：How do I set up Auto Load Balance Mode to keep Intranet IP 192.168.1.150 ~ 200 from

going through WAN2 when the destination port is Port 80?

As in the figure below, select “HTTP [TCP/80~80]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the boxes for “Source IP” input “192.168.1.150” to “200”. Retain the original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (which means to include all Internet IP addresses). Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Example 3：How do I set up Auto Load Balance Mode to keep all Intranet IP addresses from going through WAN2 when the destination port is Port 80 and keep all other services from going through WAN1?

As in the figure below, there are two rules to be configured. The first rule: select “HTTP [TCP/80~80]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the boxes of Source IP input “192.168.1.0” to “0” (which means to include all Intranet IP addresses). Retain the original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (Which means to include all Internet IP addresses). Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode. The device will transmit packets to Port 80 through WAN2. However, with only the above rule, packets that do not go to Port 80 may be transmitted through WAN2; therefore, a second rule is necessary. The second rule: Select “All Ports [TCP&UDP/1~65535]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then input “192.168.1.2 ~ 254” in the boxes of “Source IP”. Retain the original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (which means to include all Internet IP addresses). Select WAN1 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode. The device will transmit packets that are not going to Port 80 to the Internet through WAN1.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Configuring “Assigned Routing Mode” for load Balance：

IP Group: This function allows users to assign packets from specific Intranet IP addresses or to specific destination Service Ports and to specific destination IP addresses through an assigned WAN to the Internet. After being assigned, the specific WAN will only support those assigned Intranet IP addresses, destination Service Ports, or destination IP addresses. Those which are not configured will go through other WANs for external connection. Only when this mode is collocated with “Assigned Routing” can it bring the function into full play.

Example 1：How do I set up the Assigned Routing Mode to keep all Intranet IP addresses from going through WAN2 when the destination is Port 80, and keep all other services from going through WAN1?

As in the figure below, select “HTTP[TCP/80~80]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the boxes of “Source IP” input “192.168.1.0 ~ 0” (which means to include all Intranet IP addresses). Retain the original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (Which means to include all Internet IP addresses). Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode. After the rule is set up, only packets that go to Port 80 will be transmitted through WAN2, while other traffics will be transmitted through WAN1.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Example 2：How do I configure Protocol Binding to keep traffic from all Intranet IP addresses from going through WAN2 when the destinations are IP 211.1.1.1 ~ 211.254.254.254 as well as the whole Class A group of 60.1.1.1 ~ 60.254.254.254, while traffic to other destinations goes through WAN1?

As in the following figure, there are two rules to be configured. The first rule: Select “All Port [TCP&UDP/1~65535]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the boxes of “Source IP” input “192.168.1.0 ~ 0” (which means to include all Intranet IP addresses). In the boxes for “Destination IP” input “211.1.1.1 ~ 211.254.254.254”. Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode. The second rule: Select “All Port [TCP&UDP/1~65535]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the boxes of “Source IP” input “192.168.1.0 ~ 0” (which means to include all Intranet IP addresses). In the boxes of “Destination IP” input “211.1.1.1 ~ 60,254,254,254”. Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New”, and the rule will be added to the mode. After the rule has been set up, all traffic that is not going to the assigned destinations will only be transmitted through WAN1.

VII. Intranet Configuration

This chapter introduces how to configure ports and understand how to configure intranet IP addresses.

7.1 Port Management

Through the device, users can easily manage the setup for WAN ports, LAN ports and the DMZ port by choosing the number of ports, speed, priority, duplex and enable/disable the auto-negotiation feature for connection setting of each port.

Mirror Port：Users can configure LAN 1 as mirror port by choosing “Enable Port 1 as Mirror Port”. All the traffic from LAN to WAN will be copied to mirror port. Administrator can control or filter the traffic through mirror port. Once this function is enabled, LAN 1 will be shown as Mirror Port in Physical Port Status, Home page.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

DisabledPort：

This feature allows users turn on/off the Ethernet port. If selected, the Ethernet port will be shut down immediately and no connection can be made. The default value is "on".

Priority：

This feature allows users to set the high/low priority of the packet delivery for the Ethernet port. If it is set as High, the port has the first priority to deliver the packet. The default value is “Normal”.

Speed Status：

This feature allows users to select the network hardware connection speed for the Ethernet port. The options are 10Mbps and 100Mbps.

Duplex Status：

This feature allows users to select the network hardware connection speed working mode for the Ethernet. The options are full duplex and half duplex.

Auto Neg.：

The Auto-Negotiation mode can enable each port to automatically adjust and gather the connection speed and duplex mode. Therefore, if Enabled Auto-Neg. selected, the ports setup will be done without any manual setting by administrators.

VLAN：

This feature allows administrators to set the LAN port to be one or more disconnected network sessions. All of them will be able to log on to the Internet through the device.

Members in the same network session (within the same VLAN) can see and communicate with each other. Members in different VLAN will not know the existence of other members.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

VLAN All：

Set VLAN All port to be the public area of VLAN so that it can be connected to other VLAN networks. A server should be constructed for the intranet so that all VLAN group can visit this server. Set one of the network ports as VLAN All. Connect the server to VLAN All so that computers of different VLAN groups can be connected to this server. Moreover, the port where the administrator locates must be set as VLAN All so that it can be connected to the entire network to facilitate network management.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

7.2 Port Status

Summary：

There are Network Connection Type, Interface, Link Status (Up/Down), Port Activity (Port Enabled), Priority Setting (High or Normal), Speed Status (10Mbps or 100Mbps), Duplex Status (half duplex or full duplex), Auto Neg. (Enabled/Disabled), and VLAN.

Statistics：

The packet data of this specific port will be displayed. Data include receive/ transmit packet count,

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

receive/ transmit packet Byte count and error packet count. Users may press the refresh button to update all real-time messages.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

7.3 IP/ DHCP

With an embedded DHCP server, it supports automatic IP assignation for LAN computers. (This function is similar to the DHCP service in NT servers.) It benefits users by freeing them from the inconvenience of recording and configuring IP addresses for each PC respectively. When a computer is turned on, it will acquire an IP address from the device automatically. This function is to make management easier.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Dynamic IP：

Client lease Time：

Check the option to activate the DHCP server automatic IP lease function. If the function is activated, all PCs will be able to acquire IP automatically. Otherwise, users should configure static virtual IP for each PC individually.

Range Start：

This is to set up a lease time for the IP address which is acquired by a PC. The default is 1440 minutes (a day). Users can change it according to their needs. The time unit is minute.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Range End：

This is an initial IP automatically leased by DHCP. It means DHCP will start the lease from this IP. The default initial IP is 192.168.1.100.

DNS (Domain Name Service)：

This is for checking the DNS from which an IP address has been leased to a PC port. Input the IP address of this server directly.

DNS (Required) 1：

Input the IP address of the DNS server.

DNS (Optional) 2：

Input the IP address of the DNS server.

WINS：

If there is a WIN server in the network, users can input the IP address of that server directly.

WINS Server：

Input the IP address of WINS.

Apply：

Click “Apply” to save the network configuration modification.

Cancel：

Click “Cancel" to leave without making any changes.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

7.4 DHCP Status

This is an indication list of the current status and setup record of the DHCP server. The indications are for

the administrator’s reference when a network modification is needed.

DHCP Server：

This is the current DHCP IP.

Dynamic IP Used：

The amount of dynamic IP leased by DHCP.

Static IP Used：

The amount of static IP assigned by DHCP.

DHCP Available：

The amount of IP still available in the DHCP server.

Total：

The total IP which the DHCP server is configured to lease.

Host Name：

The name of the current computer.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

IP Address：

The IP address acquired by the current computer.

MAC Address：

The actual MAC network location of the current computer.

Client Lease Time：

The lease time of the IP released by DHCP.

Delete：

Remove a record of an IP lease.

DNS Local Database

Normally, DNS sever will be directed to ISP DNS server or internal self- defined DNS server.

Qno router also provides “easy” self- defined DNS services, called “DNS Local Database”, which

can map website host domain names and the corresponding IP addresses.

Host Domain Name

Enter the website host domain name. i.e. www.google.com

IP Address

Enter the corresponding IP address of the host domain above.

Add to Llist

Add the items into the list below.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Delete selected item

Delete the items chosen.

※※※※

Note!

(1) Users MUST enable DCHP server service to enable DNS local database. (2) Users must set DHCP server DNS IP address as the router LAN IP. For example, LAN is 10.10.10.1, as shown in the following figure.

Therefore, DCHP DNS IP address must be 10.10.10.1 to make DNS local database in effect.

(3) After enabling DNS local database, if there is no host domain names in the list, the router will still use ISP

DNS server or internal DNS server for lookup.

Test if DNS local database is effective:

Assumed tw.yahoo.com IP address is 10.10.10.199, as the following figure.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

(1) System Tool => Diagnostic => DNS Name Lookup

(2) Enter tw.yahoo.com for lookup.

(3) The IP is 10.10.10.199, confirming the corresponding IP in DNS local database.

7.5 IP & MAC Binding

Administrators can apply IP & MAC Binding function to make sure that users can not add extra PCs for

Internet access or change private IP addresses.

There are two methods for setting up this function：

Block MAC address not on the list

This method only allows MAC addresses on the list to receive IP addresses from DHCP and have Internet

access. When this method is applied, please fill out Static IP with 0.0.0.0, as the figure below：

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

IP & MAC Binding

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Static IP：

There are two ways to input static IP:

1. If users want to set up a MAC address to acquire IP from DHCP, but the IP need not be a specific assigned IP, input 0.0.0.0 in the boxes. The boxes cannot be left empty.

2. If users want DHCP to assign a static IP for a PC every single time, users should input the IP address users want to assign to this computer in the boxes. The server or PC which is to be bound will then acquire a static virtual IP whenever it restarts.

MAC Address：

Input the static real MAC (the address on the network card) for the server or PC which is to be bound.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Name：

For distinguishing clients, input the name or address of the client that is to be bound. The maximum acceptable characters are 12.

Enabled：

Activate this configuration.

Add to list：

Add the configuration or modification to the list.

Delete selected item：

Remove the selected binding from the list.

Add：

Add new binding.

Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address： When this option is activated, MAC addresses

which are not included in the list will not be able to connect with the Internet.

Show New IP user：

This function can reduce administrator’s effort on checking MAC addresses one by one for the binding. Furthermore, it is easy to make mistakes to fill out MAC addresses on the list manually. By checking this list, administrator can see all MAC addresses which have traffic and are not bound yet. Also, if administrators find that one specific bound MAC address is shown on the list, it means that the user changes the private IP address.

Name：

Input the name or address of the client that is to be bound. The maximum acceptable characters are 12.

Enabled：

Choose the item to be bound.

Apply：

Activate the configuration.

Select All：

Refresh：

Refresh the list.

Close：

Close the list.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

7.6 IP Group Management

IP Group function can combine several IP addresses or IP address ranges into several groups. When

you manage user internet access privileges by IP address, you can set up every management functions for users who have same internet access privileges in the same IP group in order to decrease the effort of setting rules for each IP address. For example, you can choose to set up QoS or Access Rule by IP grouping. Thus, you will simplify setting rules.

IP Grouping consists of Local IP Group and Remote IP Group. Local IP Group refers to LAN IP groups,

and remote IP Group refers to WAN IP groups. Local IP Group list will automatically learn IP addresses having packets that pass through firewall. Moreover, if user changes the IP address, the IP in the list will change accordingly well. For IP information which is in group list, it won't update automatically along with IP list of the left side. Administrators need to modify it manually.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Remote IP Group Management:

Basically, Remote IP Group setups are exactly the same as Local IP Group setups. However, remote IP group does not have automatically learning functions. Instead, you need to define addresses, ranges and groups manually. For example, 220.130.188.1 to 200 (range).

User Edit IP

The IP list will show the list which learns the IP addresses automatically on the left under side. You can also modify IP addresses manually.

Name

VIII. QoS (Quality of Service)

QoS is an abbreviation for Quality of Service. The main function is to restrict bandwidth usage for some services and IP addresses to save bandwidth or provide priority to specific applications or services, and also to enable other users to share bandwidth, as well as to ensure stable and reliable network transmission. To maximize the bandwidth efficiency, network administrators should take account of the practical requirements of a company, a community, a building, or a café, etc., and modify bandwidth management according to the network environment, application processes or services.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

8.1 Bandwidth Management

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

8.1.1 The Maximum Bandwidth provided by ISP

In the boxes for WAN1 and WAN2 bandwidth, input the upstream and downstream bandwidth which users applied for from bandwidth supplier. The bandwidth QoS will make calculations according to the data users input. In other words, it will guarantee a minimum rate of upstream and downstream for each IP and Service Port based on the total actual bandwidth of WAN1 and WAN2. For example, if the upstream bandwidths of both WAN1 and WAN2 are 512Kbit/Sec, the total upstream bandwidth will be: WAN1 + WAN2 = 1024Kbit/Sec. Therefore, if there are 50 IP addresses in the Intranet, the

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

minimum guaranteed upstream bandwidth for each IP would be 1024Kbit/50=20Kbit/Sec. Thus, 20Kbit/Sec can be input for “Mini. Rate” Downstream bandwidth can be calculated in the same way.

Attention！

The unit of calculation in this example is Kbit. Some software indicates the downstream/upstream

speed with the unit KB. 1KB = 8Kbit.

8.1.2 QoS To satisfy the bandwidth requirements of certain users, the device enables users to set up QoS: Rate

Control and Priority Control. Users can select only one of the above QoS choices.

Rate Control：

The network administrator can set up bandwidth or usage limitations for each IP or IP range according to the actual bandwidth. The network administrator can also set bandwidth control for certain Service Ports. A guarantee bandwidth control for external connections can also be configured if there is an internal server.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Interface：

Select on which WAN the QoS rule should be executed. It can be a single selection or multiple selections.

Service Port：

Select what bandwidth control is to be configured in the QoS rule. If the bandwidth for all services of each IP is to be controlled, select “All (TCP&UDP) 1~65535”. If only FTP uploads or downloads need to be controlled, select “FTP Port 21~21”. Refer to the Default Service Port Number List.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

IP Address：

This is to select which user is to be controlled. If only a single IP is to be restricted, input this IP address, such as “192.168.1.100 to 100”. The rule will control only the IP 192.168.1.100. If an IP range is to be controlled, input the range, such as “192.168.1.100 ~ 150”. The rule will control IP addresses from

192.168.1.100 to 150. If all Intranet users that connect with the device are to be controlled, input “0” in the boxes of IP address. This means all Intranet IP addresses will be restricted. QoS can also control the range of Class B.

Direction：

Upstream: Means the upload bandwidth for Intranet IP. Downstream: Means the download bandwidth for Intranet IP. Server in LAN, Upstream: If a Server for external connection has been built in

the device, this option is to control the bandwidth for the traffic coming from outside to this Server.

Server in LAN, Downstream: If there are web sites built in the Intranet, this option is to control the upload bandwidth for the connections from outside to this Server. For example, game servers have been built in many Internet cafés. This rule can be used to control the bandwidth for connections from outside to the game server of a café to update data. In this way, game players

inside the café will not be affected. Min. & Max. Rate： (Kbit/Sec)

The minimum bandwidth: The rule is to guarantee minimum available bandwidth.

The maximum bandwidth: This rule is to restrict maximum available bandwidth. The maximum bandwidth will not exceed the limit set up under this rule.

Attention! The unit of calculation used in this rule is Kbit. Some software

indicates download/upload speed by the unit KB. 1KB = 8Kbit.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

Bandwidth sharing

：

Sharing total bandwidth with all IP addresses: If this option is selected, all IP

addresses or Service Ports will share the bandwidth range (from minimum to

maximum bandwidth).

Assign bandwidth for each IP address: If this option is selected, every IP or

Service Port in this range can have this bandwidth (minimum to maximum).

For example, If the rule is set for the IP of each PC, the IP of each PC will have

the same bandwidth.

Attention: If “Share-Bandwidth” is selected, be aware of the actual usage

conditions and avoid an improper configuration that might cause a malfunction

of the network when the bandwidth is too small. For example, if users do not

want an FTP to occupy too much bandwidth, users can select the

“Share-Bandwidth Mode”, so that no matter how much users use FTPs to

download information, the total occupied bandwidth is fixed. Enable：

Activate the rule. Add to list：

Add this rule to the list. Move up & Move

down：

QoS rules will be executed from the bottom of the list to the top of the list. In

other words, the lower down the list, the higher the priority of execution. Users

can arrange the sequence according to their priorities. Usually the service

ports which need to be restricted, such as BT, e-mule, etc., will be moved to

the bottom of the list. The rules for certain IP addresses would then be moved

upward. Delete selected

items：

Remove the rules selected from the Service List.

8.2 Session control

Session management controls the acceptable maximum simultaneous sessions of Intranet PCs. This function is very useful for managing connection quantity when P2P software such as BT, Thunder, or emule is used in the Intranet causing large numbers of sessions. Setting up proper limitations on sessions can effectively control the sessions created by P2P software. It will also have a limiting effect on bandwidth usage.

In addition, if any Intranet PC is attacked by a virus like Worm.Blaster and sends a huge number of session requests, session control will restrict that as well.

Session Control and Scheduling：

Disabled：

Disable Session Control function.

Single IP cannot exceed __ session：

This option enables the restriction of maximum external sessions to each Intranet PC. When the number of external sessions reaches the limit, to allow new sessions to be built, some of the existing sessions must be closed. For example, when BT or P2P is being used to download information and the sessions exceed the limit, the user will be unable to connect with other services until either BT or P2P is closed.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

When single IP exceed __：

If this function is selected, when the user’s port session reach the limit, this user will not be able to make a new session for five minutes. Even if the previous session has been closed, new sessions cannot be made until the setting time ends.

If this function is selected, when the user’s port connections reach the limit, all the lines that this user is connected with will be removed, and the user will not be able to connect with the Internet for five minutes. New connections cannot be made until the delay time ends.

Scheduling：

If “Always” is selected, the rule will be executed around the clock. If “From…” is selected, the rule will be executed according to the configured time range. For example, if the time control is from Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 6:00pm, users can refer to the following figure to set up the rule.

8.3 Hardware Optimization(Future)

This flagship router not only provides high processing performance but also launches “hardware optimization’ function for bandwidth control and traffic prioritization. The main purpose is to process the bandwidth functions through hardware design, which can accerlate and prioritize the traffic distribution and usage without wasting CPU and system resources. Hardware optimization will speed up the router processing, carry huge connection sessions and PCs, and provide stable and excellent network environment.

Service Optimization:

Service ports that online games and video softwares will be the highest priority. Router can process these games or videos traffic in first priority. In this way, users can play games or watch videos fluently without disconnection even when the traffic is full.

MAC address

Pull down menus includes: (1) Source MAC address: Hardware optimization will only be effective to guarantee the traffic in high priorities when the traffic rules match source MAC addresses.

SSSSLL // IIPPSSeecc VVPPNN QQooSS RRoouutteer

(2) Destination MAC address: Hardware optimization will only be effective to guarantee the traffic in high priorities when the traffic rules match destination MAC addresses. (3) None: The traffic rules neither match traffic rules nor check MAC addresses.

IP address

Pull down menus includes: (1) Source IP address: Hardware optimization will only be effective to guarantee the traffic in high priorities when the traffic rules match source IP addresses. (2) Destination IP address: Hardware optimization will only be effective to guarantee the traffic in high priorities when the traffic rules match destination IP addresses. (3) None: The traffic rules neither match traffic rules nor check MAC addresses.

8.4 Smart QoS

The smart QoS function enables the administrators to constrain the bandwidth occupied

automatically without any configuring.

Enabled QoS：

Choose to apply QoS function. When the usage of any WAN’s bandwidth is over than___%, Enable Smart QoS

Input the required rate value into the column. The

default is 60%. Each IP’s upstream bandwidth threshold

(for all WAN)：

Input the max. upstream rate for intranet IPs.

Each IP’s downstream bandwidth threshold (for all WAN) ：

Input the max. downstream rate for intranet IPs.

If any IP’s bandwidth is over maximum threshold, its maximum bandwidth will remain：

When any IP uses more bandwidth than the above

upstream or downstream settings, the IP will be

restricted for the following upstream or downstream

bandwidth settings. Enabled Penalty Mechanism：

After choosing “Enabled Penalty Mechanism”, the

device will enable the penalty conditions internally.

When the IP still uses more upstream or downstream

bandwidth than the setting, the device will execute the

penalty conditions automatically.

Show Penalty IP：

The IPs which are under penalty mechanism will be

shown on the list. Scheduling：

If “Always” is selected, the rule will be executed around

the clock.

If “From…” is selected, the rule will be executed

according to the configured time range. For example, if

the time control is from Monday to Friday, 8:00am to

6:00pm, users can refer to the following figure to set up

the rule.

IX. Firewall

This chapter introduces firewall general policy, access rule, and content filter settings to ensure network

security.

9.1 General Policy

The firewall is enabled by default. If the firewall is set as disabled, features such as SPI, DoS, and outbound packet responses will be turned off automatically. Meanwhile, the remote management feature will be activated. The network access rules and content filter will be turned off.

Firewall：

This feature allows users to turn on/off the firewall.

SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection)：

This enables the packet automatic authentication detection technology. The Firewall operates mainly at the network layer. By executing the dynamic authentication for each connection, it will also perform an alarming function for application procedure. Meanwhile, the packet authentication firewall may decline the connections which use non-standard communication protocol.

DoS (Denial of Service)：

This averts DoS attacks such as SYN Flooding, Smurf, LAND, Ping of Death, IP Spoofing and so on.

Block WAN request：

If set as Enabled, then it will shut down outbound ICMP and abnormal packet responses in connection. If users try to ping the WAN IP from the external, this will not work because the default value is set as activated in order to decline the outbound responses.

Remote Management：

To enter the device web- based UI by connecting to the remote Internet, this feature must be activated. In the field of remote browser IP, a valid external IP address (WAN IP) for the device should be filled in and the modifiable default control port should be adjusted (the default is set to 80, modifiable).

Multicast Pass Through：

There are many audio and visual streaming media on the network. Broadcasting may allow the client end to receive this type of packet message format. This feature is off by default.

Prevent ARP Virus Attack：

This feature is designed to prevent the intranet from being attacked by ARP spoofing, causing the connection failure of the PC. This ARP virus cheat mostly occurs in Internet cafes. When attacked, all the online computers disconnect immediately or some computers fail to go online. Activating this feature may prevent the attack by this type of virus.

Advanced Setting

Packet Type: This device provides three types of data packet transmission: TCP-SYN-Flood, UDP-Flood and ICMP-Flood.

WAN Threshold: When all packet values from external attack or from single external IP attack reach the maximum amount (the default is 15000 packets/Sec and 2000 packets/Sec respectively), if these conditions above occurs, the IP will be blocked for 5 minutes ( the default is 5 minutes OBJ 176 ). Users can adjust the threshold value and the blocking duration to effectively deal with external attack. The threshold value should be adjusted from high to low.

LAN Threshold: When all packet values from internal attack or from single internal IP attack reach the maximum amount (the default is 15000 packets/Sec and 2000 packets/Sec respectively), if these conditions above occurs, the IP will be blocked for 5 minutes (the default is 5 minutes). Users can adjust the threshold value and the blocking duration to effectively deal with external attack. The threshold value should be adjusted from high to low.

Exempted Source IP：

Input the exempted source IP.

Exempted Dest. IP：

Input the exempted Destination IP addresses.

Show Blocked IP：

Show the blocked IP list and the remained blocked time.

Restricted WEB Features：

It supports the block that is connected through: Java, Cookies, Active X, and HTTP Proxy access.

Don’t Block Java / ActiveX / Cookies Proxy to Trusted Domain：

If this option is activated, users can add trusted network or IP address into the trust domain, and it will not block items such as Java/ActiveX/Cookies contained in the web pages from the trust domains.

Apply：

Click “Apply” to save the configuration.

Cancel：

Click “Cancel" to leave without making any change.

Restrict Application

Users can check MSN/ QQ/ Yahoo Messager/ PPSTREAM/ PPLIVE and the device will block the service users checked. However, to provide this service for certain IP address in the intranet, users may check the following item and then enter the specific IP address or IP address session to use the services which are checked above.

In addition, if Blocked QQ is activated, users can set the exempted QQ number list. Press “Exempted QQ Number” button, and enter the QQ number into the exempted QQ number list.
