OS FAQ

1. How do I access the P-660R-Tx v3 Command Line Interface (CLI)?

The Command Line Interface is for the Administrator use only, and it could be accessed via telnet session. Begin telnet session: (1) Choose “start” on your computer →”run” (2) Input “cmd” and enter (3) Input “telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” ( note that there is a space between the two), (4) Enter to login in the CLI.

Note: It is protected by super password, „1234‟ by factory default.

2. How do I update the firmware and configuration file?

You can do this if you access the P-660R-Tx v3 as Administrator. You can upload the firmware and configuration file to P-660R-Tx v3 from Web Condigurator, or using FTP software. You CAN NOT upload the firmware and configuration file via Telnet because the Telnet connection will be dropped during uploading the firmware. Please do not power off the router right after the FTP uploading is finished, the router will upload the firmware to its flash at this moment.

(1) Update on web configuration page, Advanced Setup，

Maintenance -> Firmware

You can check your current firmware version and upgrade the firmware of the Router in this page. Make sure the firmware you want to use is on the local hard drive of the computer. Click on Browse to browse the local hard drive and locate the firmware to be used for upgrade.

(2) Update firmware with FTP

a) Use the FTP client program in your PC to login to your P-660R-Tx v3.

Note that it is protected by user name and password, “admin” and

“1234” by default.

b) To update firmware, you need to use the command: put xx.bin ras for

firmware or put xx.rom rom-0 for rom file. xx.bin means the firmware on your local hard drive and xx.rom means rom file on your local hard drive. You can simply draw them into the window.

Note: There may be firmware that could not be upgraded from Web Configurator. In this case, ZyXEL will prepare special Upload Software

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

for you. Please read the firmware release note carefully when you want to upload a new firmware.

3. How do I restore P-660R-Tx v3 configurations by using TFTP client program via LAN?

a. Use the TELNET client program in your PC to login to your P-660R-Tx

v3. b. Enter CI command 'sys stdio 0' disable Stdio idle timeout c. To backup the P-660R-Tx v3 configurations, use TFTP client program

to get file 'rom-0' from the P-660R-Tx v3. d. To restore the P-660R-Tx v3 configurations, use the TFTP client

program to put your configuration in file rom-0 in the P-660R-Tx v3.

4. What should I do if I forget the system password?

In case you forget the system password, you can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults this way:

Use the RESET button on the rear panel of P-660R-Tx v3 to reset the router. After the router is reset, the LAN IP address will be reset to '192.168.1.1', the password will be reset to „1234‟.

5. How to use the Reset button?

a. Turn your P-660R-Tx v3 on. Make sure the POWER led is on (not

blinking) b. Press the RESET button for ten seconds and then release it. If the

POWER LED begins to blink, the default configuration has been

restored and the P-660R-Tx v3 restarts.

6. What is SUA? When should I use SUA?

SUA (Single User Account) is a unique feature supported by P-660R-Tx v3 router which allows multiple people to access Internet concurrently for the cost of a single user account.

When P-660R-Tx v3 acting as SUA receives a packet from a local client destined for the outside Internet, it replaces the source address in the IP packet header with its own address and the source port in the TCP or UDP header with another value chosen out of a local pool. It then recomputed the appropriate header checksums and forwards the packet to the Internet as if it is originated from P-660R-Tx v3 using the IP address assigned by ISP. When reply packets from the external Internet are received by P-660R-Tx v3, the original IP source address and TCP/UDP source port numbers are written into

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

the destination fields of the packet (since it is now moving in the opposite direction), the checksums are recomputed, and the packet is delivered to its true destination. This is because SUA keeps a table of the IP addresses and port numbers of the local systems currently using it.

7. What is the difference between SUA and Full Feature NAT?

When you edit a remote node in Web Configurator, Advanced Setup, Advanced Setup -> NAT -> Number of IPs, there will be two options for you:

 Single  Multiple

Single here means SUA (Single User Account). In previous versions is a NAT set with 2 rules: Many-to-One and Server. With SUA, 'visible' servers had to be mapped to different ports, since the servers share only one global IP.

The P-660R-Tx v3 now has Multiple, stands for Full Feature NAT, which supports five types of IP/Port mapping: One to One, Many to One, Many to Many Overload, Many to Many No Overload and Server. You can make special application when you select Multiple. For example: With multiple global IP addresses, multiple severs using the same port (e.g., FTP servers using port 21/20) are allowed on the LAN for outside access.

The P-660R-Tx v3 supports NAT sets on a remote node basis. They are reusable, but only one set is allowed for each remote node. The P-660R-Tx v3 supports 8 sets since there are 8 remote nodes.

8. Is it possible to access a server running behind SUA from the outside Internet? How can I do it?

Yes, it is possible because P-660R-Tx v3 delivers the packet to the local server by looking up to a SUA server table. Therefore, to make a local server accessible to the outside users, the port number and the inside IP address of the server must be configured. (You can configure it in Web Configurator, Advanced Setup, Advanced Setup -> NAT -> DMZ.

9. When do I need select Multiple IP in NAT (Full Feature NAT)?

 Make multiple local servers on the LAN accessible from outside with

multiple global IP addresses

With Single IP (SUA), 'visible' servers had to be mapped to different ports, since the servers share only one global IP. But when you select Multiple IPs

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

(Full Feature), you can make multiple local servers (mapping the same port or not) on the LAN accessible from outside with multiple global IP addresses.

 Support Non-NAT Friendly Applications

Some servers providing Internet applications such as some MIRC servers do not allow users to login using the same IP address. Thus, users on the same network can not login to the same server simultaneously. In this case it is better to use Many-to-Many No Overload or One-to-One NAT mapping types, thus each user login to the server using a unique global IP address.

10. What IP/Port mapping does Multi-NAT support? There is a Virtual Server column in Advanced Setup-> NAT. We can

configure a IP/Port mapping table there. Multi-NAT supports five types of IP/port mapping: One to One, Many to One,

Many to Many Overload, Many to Many No Overload and Server. The details of the mapping between ILA and IGA are described as below. Here we define the local IP addresses as the Internal Local Addresses (ILA) and the global IP addresses as the Inside Global Address (IGA),

 One to One: In One-to-One mode, the P-660R-Tx v3 maps one ILA to

one IGA.  Many to One: In Many-to-One mode, the P-660R-Tx v3 maps multiple

ILA to one IGA. This is equivalent to SUA (i.e., PAT, port address

translation).  Many to Many Overload: In Many-to-Many Overload mode, the

P-660R-Tx v3 maps the multiple ILA to shared IGA.  Many One-to-One: In Many One-to-One mode, the P-660R-Tx v3

maps each ILA to unique IGA.  Server: In Server mode, the P-660R-Tx v3 maps multiple inside servers

to one global IP address. This allows us to specify multiple servers of

different types behind the NAT for outside access. Note that if you want

to map each server to one unique IGA please use the One-to-One

mode.

11. How many network users can the SUA/NAT support?

The P-660R-Tx v3 does not limit the number of the users but the number of the NAT sessions. The P-660R-Tx v3 supports 1024 sessions that you can use the 'ip nat session' command in CLI to see. You can also use

„ip nat hashTable wanif0‟ to view the current active NAT sessions.

12. How can I protect against IP spoofing attacks?

The P-660R-Tx v3's filter sets provide a means to protect against IP spoofing attacks. The basic scheme is according to your need to set different filter type.There are three types of filter: IP/MAC Filter, Application Filter, and URL Filter. You can use IP/MAC filter to decide the input data or output one to be filtered or you may simply set filter conditions depend on your application or URL.

Product FAQ

1. How can I manage P-660R-Tx v3?

English Web GUI for Local and Remote management

 CLI (Command-line interface)  Telnet support (Administrator Password Protected ) for remote

configuration change and status monitoring

 FTP sever, firmware upgrade and configuration backup and restore are

supported(Administrator Password Protected)

2. What is the default password for Web Configurator?

By factory default the password for P-660R-Tx v3 Web Configurator is 1234. You can login in as an administrator. You can change the password after you logging in the Web Configurator.

Please record your new password whenever you change it. The system will lock you out if you have forgotten your password.

3. How do I know the P-660R-Tx v3's WAN IP address assigned by the ISP?

You can view " IP Address<from ISP>: x.x.x.x" shown in Web Configurator „Status->Device Info ->WAN‟ to check this IP address.

4. What is Traffic Shaping？

Traffic Shaping allocates the bandwidth to WAN dynamically and aims at boosting the efficiency of the bandwidth. If there are several VCs in the P-660R-Tx v3 but only one VC activated at one time, the P-660R-Tx v3 allocates all the Bandwidth to the VC and the VC gets full bandwidth. If another VCs are activated later, the bandwidth is yield to other VCs after ward.

5. Why do we perform traffic shaping in the P-660R-Tx v3?

The P-660R-Tx v3 must manage traffic fairly and provide bandwidth allocation for different sorts of applications, such as voice, video, and data. All applications have their own natural bit rate. Large data transactions have a fluctuating natural bit rate. The P-660R-Tx v3 is able to support variable traffic among different virtual connections. Certain traffic may be discarded if the virtual connection experiences congestion. Traffic shaping defines a set of actions taken by the P-660R-Tx v3 to avoid congestion; traffic shaping takes measures to adapt to unpredictable fluctuations in traffic flows and other problems among virtual connections.

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

6. What do the parameters (PCR, SCR, and MBS) mean?

Traffic shaping parameters (PCR, SCR, MBS) can be set in Web Configurator, Interface Setup, Interface Setup -> Internet -> QoS:

Peak Cell Rate (PCR): The maximum bandwidth allocated to this connection. The VC connection throughput is limited by PCR. Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR): The least guaranteed bandwidth of a VC. When there are multi-VCs on the same line, the VC throughput is guaranteed by SCR. Maximum Burst Size(MBS): The amount of cells transmitted through this VC at the Peak Cell Rate before yielding to other VCs. Total bandwidth of the line is dedicated to single VC if there is only one VC on the line. However, as the other VC asking the bandwidth, the MBS defines the maximum number of cells transmitted via this VC with Peak Cell rate before yielding to other VCs.

The P-660R-Tx v3 holds the parameters for shaping the traffic among its virtual channels. If you do not need traffic shaping, please set SCR = 0, MBS = 0 and PCR as the maximum value according to the line rate (for example, 2.3 Mbps line rate will result PCR as 5424 cell/sec.)

7. What do the ATM QoS Types (CBR, UBR, VBR，rtVBR, nrtVBR) mean?

Constant bit rate (CBR): An ATM bandwidth-allocation service that requires

the user to determine a fixed bandwidth requirement at the time the connection is set up so that the data can be sent in a steady stream. CBR service is often used when transmitting fixed-rate uncompressed video.

Unspecified bit rate (UBR): An ATM bandwidth-allocation service that does not guarantee any throughput levels and uses only available bandwidth. UBR is often used when transmitting data that can tolerate delays, such as e-mail.

Variable bit rate (VBR): An ATM bandwidth-allocation service that allows users to specify a throughput capacity (i.e., a peak rate) and a sustained rate but data is not sent evenly. You can select VBR for burst traffic and bandwidth sharing with other applications. It contains two subclasses:

Non-real time variable bit rate (nrtVBR) and Real time variable bit rate (rtVBR).

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

8. The P-660R-Tx v3 supports Bridge and Router mode, what's the difference between them?

When the ISP limits some specific computers to access Internet that means only the traffic to/from these computers will be forwarded and the other will be filtered. In this case, we use bridge mode which works as an ADSL modem to connect to the ISP. The ISP will generally give one Internet account and limit only one computer to access the Internet.

For most Internet users having multiple computers want to share an Internet account for Internet access, they have to add another Internet sharing device, like a router. In this case, we use the router mode which works as a general Router plus an ADSL Modem.

9. How do I know I am using PPPoE? PPPoE requires a user account to login to the provider's server. If you need to

configure a user name and password on your computer to connect to the ISP you are probably using PPPoE. If you are simply connected to the Internet when you turn on your computer, you probably are not. You can also check your ISP or the information sheet given by the ISP. Please choose PPPoE as the encapsulation type in the P-660R-Tx v3 if the ISP uses PPPoE.

10. Why does my provider use PPPoE?

PPPoE emulates a familiar Dial-Up connection. It allows your ISP to provide services using their existing network configuration over the broadband connections. Besides, PPPoE supports a broad range of existing applications and service including authentication, accounting, secure access and configuration management.

11. When do I need to choose dynamic IP?

If your ISP provides you an IP address automatically, typically used for Cable service. In this case your computer gets an IP dynamically assigned by DHCP.

To use this mode, you need to do some corresponding configurations on the web page: Interface Setup -> Internet -> Encapsulation:

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

Key setting:

Field

Description

Encapsulation

Choose one of encapsulation mode used in Dynamic IP condition .There are four modes: 1483 Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridge IP VC-Mux, 1483 Route IP LLC(IPoA),and 1483 Route IP VC-Mux.

Bridge Interface

When activated, not only Router connects but bridge connects. Meanwhile, Router and Bridge use the same PVC, Lan PC could get an wan IP which is assigned by PPPOE server. So we needn‟t two PVCs to do multicast.

NAT

Choose to enable or disable NAT function.

Default Route

Choose “yes” to set the current PVC as a default gateway to internet from

your device. Note that there must be only one default gateway. If you have configured more than one PVC as default gateway, the last one would be efficient.

TCP MTU Option

Set TCP MTU value. “0” is considered as default value.

Dynamic Route

Draw out the list to choose an RIP vision. And you can choose the RIP direction. Choose none direction to disable RIP function.

Multicast

Choose to enable or disable multicast function

MAC Spoofing

Choose to enable Mac spoofing function. You can set a wanted MAC below

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

12. What is DDNS? The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static

hostname, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. To use the service, you must first apply an account from several free Web servers such as http://www.dyndns.org/.

Without DDNS, we always tell the users to use the WAN IP of the P-660R-Tx v3 to reach our internal server. It is inconvenient for the users if this IP is dynamic. With DDNS supported by the P-660R-Tx v3, you apply a DNS name (e.g., www.zyxel.com.tw) for your server (e.g., Web server) from a DDNS server. The outside users can always access the web server using the www.zyxel.com.tw regardless of the WAN IP of the P-660R-Tx v3.

When the ISP assigns the P-660R-Tx v3 a new IP, the P-660R-Tx v3 updates this IP to DDNS server so that the server can update its IP-to-DNS entry. Once the IP-to-DNS table in the DDNS server is updated, the DNS name for your web server (i.e., www.zyxel.com.tw) is still usable.

13. When do I need DDNS service? When you want your internal server to be accessed by using DNS name rather

than using the dynamic IP address we can use the DDNS service. The DDNS server allows to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. Whenever the ISP assigns you a new IP, the P-660R-Tx v3 sends this IP to the DDNS server for its updates.

14. What is DDNS wildcard? Does the P-660R-Tx v3 support DDNS wildcard?

Some DDNS servers support the wildcard feature which allows the hostname, *.yourhost.dyndns.org, to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful when there are multiple servers inside and you want users to be able to use things such as www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.

Yes, the P-660R-Tx v3 supports DDNS wildcard that http://www.dyndns.org/ supports. And you can choose to active or inactive this feature on the web configuration page. When using wildcard, you simply enter yourhost.dyndns.org on the web configuration page.

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

15. Can the P-660R-Tx v3's SUA (Simple IP) handle IPSec packets sent by the IPSec gateway?

Yes, the P-660R-Tx v3's SUA can handle IPSec ESP Tunneling mode. We know when packets go through SUA; SUA will change the source IP address and source port for the host. To pass IPSec packets, SUA must understand the ESP packet with protocol number 50; replace the source IP address of the IPSec gateway to the router's WAN IP address. However, SUA should not change the source port of the UDP packets which are used for key managements. Because the remote gateway checks this source port during connections, the port thus is not allowed to be changed.

16. How do I setup my P-660R-Tx v3 for routing IPSec packets over SUA? For outgoing IPSec tunnels, no extra setting is required.

For forwarding the inbound IPSec ESP tunnel, A 'Default' server set is required. You could configure it in Web Configurator, Advanced Setup, Advanced Setup

-> NAT -> DMZ:

Note: First we should set Number of IPs as Single for SUA use.

It is because SUA makes your LAN appear as a single machine to the outside world. LAN users are invisible to outside users. So, to make an internal server for outside access, we must specify the service port and the LAN IP of this server in Web configuration page. Thus SUA is able to forward the incoming packets to the requested service behind SUA and the outside users access the server using the P-660R-Tx v3's WAN IP address. So, we have to configure the internal IPSec client as a default server (unspecified service port) when it acts a server gateway.

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

17. What is IP Policy Routing (IPPR)? Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router

takes the shortest path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator. Policy-based routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface basis, prior to the normal routing. Network administrators can use IPPR to distribute traffic among multiple paths. For example, if a network has both the Internet and remote node connections, we can route the Web packets to the Internet using one policy and route the FTP packets to the remote LAN using another policy. See the figure below.

Use IPPR to distribute traffic among multiple paths

 Benefits

Source-Based Routing - Network administrators can use policy-based routing to direct traffic from different users through different connections.

Quality of Service (QoS)- Organizations can differentiate traffic by setting the precedence or TOS (Type of Service) values in the IP header at the periphery of the network to enable the backbone to prioritize traffic.

Cost Savings- IPPR allows organizations to distribute interactive traffic on high-bandwidth, high-cost path while using low-path for batch traffic.

Load Sharing- Network administrators can use IPPR to distribute traffic among multiple paths.

P-660R-T 1 v3

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

18. How does the IPPR work?

A policy defines the matching criteria and the action to take when a packet meets the criteria. The action is taken only when all the criteria are met. The criteria include the source address and port, IP protocol (ICMP, UDP, TCP, etc), destination address and port, TOS and precedence (fields in the IP header) and length. The inclusion of length criterion is to differentiate between interactive and bulk traffic. Interactive applications, e.g., Telnet, tend to have short packets, while bulk traffic, e.g., file transfer, tends to have large packets.

The actions that can be taken include routing the packet to a different gateway (and hence the outgoing interface) and the TOS and precedence fields in the IP header. IPPR follows the existing packet filtering facility of ZyNOS in style and in implementation. The policies are divided into sets, where related policies are grouped together. A use defines the policies before applying them to an interface or a remote node, in the same fashion as the filters. There are 12 policy sets with 6 policies in each set.

19. What is CWMP?

P660R Tx V3 supports TR-069 Amendment 1 (CPE WAN Management Protocol Release 2.0) and TR-069 Amendment 2 (CPE WAN Management Protocol v1.1, Release 3.0).

TR-069 is a protocol that defines how your ZyXEL Device (ZD) can be managed via a management server (MS) such as ZyXEL‟s Vantage Access.

An administrator can use a management server to remotely set up the ZyXEL device, modify settings, perform firmware upgrades as well as monitor and diagnose the ZyXEL device. All you have to do is enable the device to be managed by a management server and specify the management server IP address or domain name and username and password.

20. How to configure CWMP on P660R TX v3? You can set CWMP on the Web configuration page: Access Management ->

CWMP -> CWMP Setup:
