EATURES AND BENEFITS

Features and Benefits

• Local network connection via a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port

• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name
mapping

• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion
detection, and NAT

• NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account,
and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet
services such as web, FTP, email, and Telnet)

• VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP)

• User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications
requiring multiple connections

• Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that
supports TCP/IP

• Compatible with all popular Internet applications

1-2

Applications

Many advanced networking features are provided by this Barricade:

• Wired and Wireless LAN

The Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and
wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible devices, making it easy to create a
network in small offices or homes.

• Internet Access

This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection.
Since many ADSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish
communications with end users, the Barricade includes built-in clients
for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on
your computer.

• Shared IP Address

The Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single
shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your
network can browse the web at the same time.

I

NTRODUCTION

•Virtual Server

If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Barricade to act as a
virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access
various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then,
depending on the requested service (or port number), the Barricade
can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP
address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and
provides more flexible management by allowing you to change
internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your
network.

PPLICATIONS

• DMZ Host Support

Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an
Internet application from functioning correctly.

• Security

The Barricade supports security features that deny Internet access to
specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that the
administrator does not want to serve. The Barricade’s firewall also
blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack,
Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port
loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding.
WPA/WPA2, WEP, SSID, and MAC filtering provide security over
the wireless network.

• Virtual Private Network (VPN Pass-through)

The Barricade supports three of the most commonly used VPN
protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. The VPN protocols supported
by the Barricade are briefly described below.

1-4

• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol – Provides a secure tunnel for

remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes
provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.

• L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F – Like PPTP,

L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.

• IP Security – Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can

support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using
digital certificates for device authentication.

Connecting the Barricade to your LAN

The four LAN ports on the Barricade auto-negotiate the connection speed
to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as well as the
transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.

Use RJ-45 cables to connect any of the four LAN ports on the Barricade
to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, cascade any of the LAN
ports on the Barricade to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect
your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch. When inserting
an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab on the connector clicks into position
to ensure that it is properly seated.

Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This

may damage the Barricade. Instead, use only twisted-pair
cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC
standards.

Notes: 1. Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with

RJ-45 connectors for all Ethernet ports. Use Category 3, 4, or 5
for connections that operate at 10 Mbps, and Category 5 for
connections that operate at 100 Mbps.
