Chapter 9 Routing Settings

9.1 Routing Table

This page shows the router’s core routing table.

The main duty for a router is to look for a best path for every data packet, and transfer this data packet to a destination station. In order to fulfill this function, many transferring paths, i.e. routing table, are saved in the router, for choosing when needed.

9.2 Static Routing

This screen is used to set the router’s static routing. A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network.

NOTE:

1. The gateway must be at the same net segment with the router’s LAN IP.

2. If the destination IP address is one host’ address, then the subnet mask must be

255.255.255.255.

3. If the destination IP address is an IP segment, then it must match with the subnet mask. For example, if the destination IP is 10.0.0.0 then the subnet mask must be

255.0.0.0

¾ Destination network IP address: The destination host or IP segment you visit. ¾ Subnet mask: Enter the subnet mask, generally it is 255.255.255.0 ¾ Gateway: The entry IP address of the next router.

10.2 DDNS

The DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is supported in this Router. It is used to assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Inte rnet IP address. Every time you access the Internet, the dynamic domain name software installed on your host will tell the ISP’S host server its dynamic IP address by sending messages. And the server software is responsible for providing DNS service and implementing dynamic domain name resolution.

11N Wireless User Guide

¾ Main features:

1. Mostly, your ISP provides a dynamic IP address and the DDNS is used to capture the changeable IP address and match to the fixed domain. Then users can have access to the Internet to communicate with others outside the network.

2. DDNS can help you to establish a virtual host in your home or company.

¾ DDNS: Click the radio button to enable or disable the DDNS service. ¾ Service provider: Select one from the drop-down list and click “Sign up” for

registration.

¾ Username: Enter the username that you use to register from the DDNS provider ¾ Password: Enter the password that you use to register from the DDNS provider ¾ Domain name: Enter the effective registered domain name

Appendix 1 Glossary

Channel:

An instance of medium use for the purpose of passing protocol data units (PDUs) that may be used simultaneously, in the same volume of space, with other instances of medium use(on other channels) by other instances of the same physical layer (PHY),with an acceptably low frame error ratio(FER) due to mutual interference. SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless network. Your network’s SSID should be unique to your network and identical for all devices within the netw ork. It is c ase-se nsiti ve and mu st not e xceed 20 c harac ters (use any of the characters on the key board). Make sure this set ting is the same f or all devi ce s in your wireless network.

WPA/WPA2 Encryption:

A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the added strength of WP A is that the key changes dynamically. The changing key makes it much m ore difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the network.WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some government users.

802,1x authentication

Static WEP key is difficult to manage for when you change the key, you will have to inform all others, and if the key is disclosed in one of the places, the key can no longer provide security. Besides, there’s severe security loophole about static WEP encryption. The WEP key can be decrypted after one person receives a specific amount of data via wireless intercepting. 802,1x is initially used for wired Ethernet authentication access to prevent illegal users from accessing the network. Later, it is found that 802.1x can better solve the wireless network security problem. EAP-TLS of the 802.1x successfully achieves the two-way authentication between users and networks, i.e. can prevent illegal users from accessing the network and can also prevent users from accessing the illegal AP. 802.1x utilizes dynamic WEP encryption to protect the WEP key from being decrypted. To solve the publishing problem for digital certification, people make some changes to TLS authentication and TTLS an d EAP come into exist, which enable you to acc ess th e netw ork by using the traditional way of authentication: username and password.
