9 LAN Interface

This chapter is to configure the parameters for local area
network which connects to the LAN port of your Access Point.
Here you may change the setting for IP address, subnet mask,
DHCP, etc...

You should only change the addressing details if your ISP asks

Note

you to, or if you are familiar with network configuration. In most
cases, you will not need to make any changes to this
configuration.

LAN Interface Setup

To check the configuration of LAN Interface:

1. From the Setup menu, click on Local Network. The

following page is displayed:

54

11n AP Router User’s Manual

Field Description

IP Address The IP address of your router on the local area network. Your local

area network settings are based on the address assigned here.

Subnet Mask The subnet mask of your router on the local area network.

DHCP Mode Once your router is properly configured and DHCP Server is

enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other
network configuration information for computers and other devices
connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to
do this yourself.

The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also
need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an
IP address automatically".

IP Pool Range These two IP values (from and to) define a range of IP addresses

that the DHCP Server uses when assigning addresses to computers
and devices on your Local Area Network. Any addresses that are
outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these
could, therefore, be used for manually configured devices or
devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network address details
automatically.

Your router, by default, has a static IP address of 192.168.0.1. This
means that addresses 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 can be made
available for allocation by the DHCP Server.

Max Lease Time The amount of time that a computer may have an IP address before

it is required to renew the lease. The lease functions just as a lease
on an apartment would. The initial lease designates the amount of
time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the
address when the lease is expired then a new lease is established. If
the lease expires and the address is no longer needed then another
tenant may use the address.

Domain Name Domain name for the dhcp server scope.

DNS Servers DNS Server address for the dhcp server scope.

IP Address The IP address to be configured for your computer or device on the

local area network.For example, 192.168.0.2.

Mac Address The mac address of your computer or device on the local area

network.

Wireless Access Control Mode

For security reason, using MAC ACL's (MAC Address Access
List) creates another level of difficulty to hacking a network. A
MAC ACL is created and distributed to AP so that only
authorized NIC's can connect to the network. While MAC
address spoofing is a proven means to hacking a network this
can be used in conjunction with additional security measures to
increase the level of complexity of the network security
decreasing the chance of a breach.

MAC addresses can be add/delete/edit from the ACL list
depending on the MAC Access Policy.

If you choose 'Allowed Listed', only those clients whose wireless
MAC addresses are in the access control list will be able to
connect to your Access Point. When 'Deny Listed' is selected,
these wireless clients on the list will not be able to connect the

14 Port Triggering

Port Triggering is a special form of Port Forwarding in which it
requires an outgoing connection before allowing incoming
connections on a single or multiple port. Port Triggering is
mostly used when your computer is behind a NAT router.

For example, if a gaming application sends outgoing data on
ports 5000-6000 but receives the incoming data on port 111,
typically behind a NAT router the router simply drops the data
because it does not know which computer it should send
requests to. But with port triggering you can tell the router to
allow incoming data on port 111 when an outgoing data sends it
through ports 5000-6000. It gives more flexibility than static port
forwarding because you don't need to set it up for a specific
computer.

16 Dynamic DNS

When you want your internal server to be accessed by using
DNS name rather than using the dynamic IP address, you can
use the DDNS service. The DDNS server allows to alias a
dynamic IP address to a static hostname.

This chapter provides you an overview of the Dynamic DNS
feature of the modem and configuration details related to it.

Overview

If some host has a dynamic IP address that keeps changing
frequently, it is difficult to keep updating the IP record that is
associated with the domain name of this host in the zone files.
This will result in non-accessibility of this host on the Internet.
Dynamic DNS service allows to keep mapping of a dynamic IP
address of such host to a static hostname. Dynamic DNS
services are provided by many websites. The host needs to
register with some website and get a domain name. When the
IP address of the host changes, it just needs to send a message
to the website that's providing dynamic DNS service to this host.
For this to work, an automated update client needs to be
implemented. These update clients send update messages to
the servers whenever there is some change in the IP address of
that host. Then, the server updates the entries for that host and
replies back with some return code.

Above Figure explains one such scenario in which a host gets a
dynamic IP address for itself from a DHCP server. As the host
has registered with one of the dynamic DNS service providers
on the Internet, it sends an update message to the service
provider with host name and changed IP address. The service
provider updates the new IP address of the host in the zone
files that have entry for that host name and replies back with
some return code. The return code communicates the success
or failure of the update message. This process is repeated
every time the host's IP address changes.

86

11n AP Router User’s Manual

If the dynamic DNS service provider is notified of the same IP
address again and again, then it considers it an abuse and
might block the host name. To avoid this scenario, the IP
address that was successfully updated to the ISP is stored on
the unit. Whenever we receive an IP address change
notification, the new IP address is compared with the IP address
that was stored on the last update. If they differ, then only an
update request is sent. However, when the system comes up
there is no way of knowing what was the IP address on last
successful update before the system went down. You need to
give the command “system config save“ periodically to save this
IP address on Flash.

Registering With Dynamic DNS Service Provider

Currently, Wireless Gateway supports two Dynamic DNS
service providers, www.tzo.com and www.dyndns.com. To use
their Dynamic DNS service, you first need to visit the Web site
of a service provider and register. While registering, you need to
provide your username, password, and hostname as mandatory
parameters. A service provider may also prompt you to fill some
optional parameters.

Note

Configuring IP Interfaces

You need to create a Dynamic DNS interface per IP interface
and can only create one Dynamic DNS interface service on one
IP interface. For more information on creating IP interfaces,
refer to section Creating IP interfaces.

www.dyndns.org provides three kinds of services - Dynamic DNS,
Custom DNS and Static DNS. You can create different domains in
these systems. Custom DNS service is a full DNS solution for
newly purchased domains or domains you already own. A web­based interface provides complete control over resource records
and your entire domain, including support for dynamic IPs and
automated updates. Static DNS service points a DNS hostname
in some domain owned by dyndns.org to the user's ISP-assigned
static or pseudo-static IP address.

DynDNS service points a fixed hostname in some domain owned
by dyndns.org to the user's ISP-assigned dynamic IP address.
This allows more frequent update of IP addresses, than allowed
by Static DNS.

19 Virtual Server

Your device has built in advanced Security features that protect
your network by blocking unwanted traffic from the Internet.

If you simply want to connect from your local network to the
Internet, you do not need to make any changes to the default
Security configuration. You only need to edit the configuration if
you wish to do one or both of the following:

• allow Internet users to browse the user pages on your local
network (for example, by providing an FTP or HTTP server)

• play certain games which require accessibility from the
Internet

This chapter describes how to configure Security to suit the
needs of your network.

By default, the IP addresses of your LAN PCs are hidden from
the Internet. All data sent from your LAN PCs to a PC on the
Internet appears to come from the IP address of your device.

In this way, details about your LAN PCs remain private. This
security feature is called Port Forwarding.

Configuring Virtual Server

Certain network games, chat or file sharing software do not
work with your default Port Forwarding setting. Your device
knows the port, protocol and trigger information needed to allow
access to the common applications listed below, but by default,
access to them is disabled.

You can enable access to a common application from a specific
PC on your network.

If you want to allow access to an application that is not included
on the above list of common applications, you can create and
enable a custom application.

Configuring custom applications

If you want to enable access to an application that does not
appear on your device’s default list of common applications you
can create a custom application.

In order to create a custom application, you must know:

1. the protocol used by the application (e.g., TCP, UDP and so
on)

2. the primary port or range of ports used by the application

3. whether the application requires a trigger, and if so, the
secondary port or range of ports used by the application

4. the address translation type used by the trigger

Your application provider or games manufacturer should
provide you with these details.
