Preface

About Your Gateway

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway.

Don't forget to register your Prestige (fast, easy online registration at

www.zyxel.com) for free future product updates and information.

The Prestige 310 is a dual Ethernet broadband gateway integrated with network management features that allows access to the Internet via cable/xDSL modem. It is designed for:

• Home offices and small businesses with cable and xDSL modem via Ethernet port as Internet access

media.

• Multiple office/department connections via access devices.

Your Prestige 310 is easy to install and to configure. The embedded web configurator is a convenient platform-independent GUI (Graphical User Interface) that allows you easy access the Prestige's management settings.

All functions of the Prestige 310 are also software configurable via the SMT (System Management Terminal) interface. The SMT is a menu-driven interface that you can access from a terminal emulator through the console port or over a Telnet connection.

About This User's Guide

This user's guide is designed to guide you through the SMT configuration of your Prestige 310 for its various applications. There is also HTML help for the embedded web configurator. To access the web configurator, follow the steps shown in the Accessing The Web Configurator section. Regardless of your particular application, it is important that you follow the steps outlined in Chapters 1-2 to connect your Prestige to your LAN. You can then refer to the appropriate chapters of the user's guide, depending on your applications.

Getting to Know Your Prestige

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Prestige as well as a checklist for

fast Internet access.

1.1 The Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

The Prestige 310 is a dual Ethernet broadband gateway integrated with robust network management features for Internet access via external cable/xDSL modem. Equipped with 10Mbps Ethernet WAN port for WAN, an auto-negotiating 10/100Mbps Ethernet port for LAN and the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature, the Prestige is uniquely suited as a broadband Internet access sharing gateway for small offices and home offices.

1.2 Features of the Prestige 310

The following are the main features of the Prestige 310.

1.2.1 10/100MB Auto-negotiation Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface

This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.

1.2.2 SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network. The Prestige supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1).

1.2.3 NAT (Network Address Translation)

NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) allows the translation of an Internet Protocol address used within one network to a different IP address known within another network. The Prestige can now map multiple global IP addresses to local IP addresses of clients or servers.

Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-1

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

1.2.4 Traffic Redirect

Traffic Redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway on the LAN when the Prestige cannot connect to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary backup when your regular WAN connection fails.

1.2.5 Port Forwarding

Use this feature to forward incoming service requests to a server on your local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server.

1.2.6 Trigger Port Forwarding

LAN computers dynamically take turns using the mapping based on the trigger port. With this feature, you needn't reconfigure a new IP address each time you want a different computer (as you would with Port Forwarding).

1.2.7 Internal SPTGEN

Internal SPTGEN (System Parameter Table Generator) lets you configure, save and upload multiple menus at the same time using just one configuration text file - eliminating the need to navigate and configure individual SMT menus for each Prestige.

1.2.8 DHCP Support

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (workstations) to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to Windows 9X, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client. The Prestige can now also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.

1.2.9 Dynamic DNS Support

With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS client.

1.2.10 IP Multicast

Deliver IP packets to a specific group of hosts using IP multicast. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC 2236); the Prestige supports both versions 1 and 2.

1-2 Getting to Know Your Prestige

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

1.2.11 PPPoE Support

PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.

1.2.12 PPTP Support

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a TCP/IP-based network.

PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet.

1.2.13 IP Alias

IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet interface.

1.2.14 Call Scheduling

Configure call time periods to restrict and allow access for users on remote nodes.

1.2.15 Call Control

The Prestige provides budget management for outgoing calls and chronicles incoming and outgoing calls.

1.2.16 Full Network Management

Your Prestige offers you a variety of options for network management. It supports password protected local and remote network management via the console port or a telnet connection using SMT (System Management Interface). It also supports FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for remote management, TFTP (Trivial FTP), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and CI (Command Interpreter) mode.

1.2.17 RoadRunner Support

In addition to standard cable modem services, the Prestige supports Time Warner's RoadRunner Service.

1.2.18 Time and Date Setting

This new feature (menu 24.10) allows you to get the current time and date from an external server when you power up your Prestige. The real time is then displayed in the Prestige Menu 24.1- System Status and error logs. If you do not choose a time service protocol that your timeserver will send when the Prestige powers up

Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-3

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

you can enter the time manually but each time the system is booted, the time & date will be reset to 1/1/1970 0:0:0.

1.2.19 Logging and Tracing

• Built-in message logging and packet tracing.

• Unix syslog facility support.

1.2.20 Embedded FTP and TFTP Servers

The Prestige's embedded FTP and TFTP servers enable fast firmware upgrades as well as configuration file backups and restoration.

1.2.21 Packet Filtering

The Packet Filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.

1.2.22 Upgrade Prestige Firmware via LAN

The firmware of your Prestige can be upgraded via the LAN.

1.3 Applications for the Prestige 310

1.3.1 Broadband Internet Access via Cable or DSL Modem

2.6.1 Resetting the Prestige

If you have forgotten your password or cannot access the SMT menus you will need to reinstall the configuration file. Uploading the configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the default configuration file, you will lose all configurations that you had before and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity and 1 stop bit (8n1). The password will be reset to the default of “1234”.

Turn off the Prestige and begin a terminal emulation software session with the default console port settings. Turn on the Prestige again. When you see the message "Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds", press any key to enter debug mode. You should already have downloaded the correct file from your nearest ZyXEL FTP site. Refer to the Firmware and Configuration Maintenance chapter for more information on how to transfer the configuration file to your Prestige.

2.7 General Setup

Menu 1 - General Setup contains administrative and system-related information (shown next). The System Name field is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check this name you should enter

your computer's "Computer Name".

• In Windows 95/98 click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network. Click the Identification tab, note the entry for the Computer name field and enter it as the Prestige System Name.

• In Windows XP, click start -> My Computer -> View system information and then click the Computer Name tab. Note the entry in the Full computer name field and enter it as the Prestige System Name.

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the Prestige via DHCP.

2.7.1 Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe or other services). You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (for example, myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) which will never change instead of using an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call you even if they don't know your IP address.

First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is for people with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a DNS name.

To use this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS service provider. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key. The Prestige supports www.dyndns.org. You can apply to this service provider for Dynamic DNS service.

DYNDNS Wildcard

Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use, for example, www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.

Chapter 3

Internet Access

This chapter shows you how to configure the LAN as well as the WAN of your Prestige for Internet

access.

3.1 TCP/IP and DHCP for LAN

The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability.

3.1.1 Factory LAN Defaults

The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:

1. IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)

2. DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.

These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es), skip to the DNS Server Address section to see how to enter the DNS server address(es).

3.1.2 DHCP Configuration

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Prestige as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If set to None, DHCP service will be disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the workstation must be manually configured.

The Prestige can also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.

IP Pool Setup

The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the Prestige itself) in the lower range for other server computers, for example, server for mail, FTP, Telnet, web, etc., that you may have.

Internet Access 3-1

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

DNS Server Address

Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, for example, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.

There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses.

1. The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign

up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup.

2. Leave the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup blank (for example 0.0.0.0). The Prestige acts as a DNS

proxy when this field is blank.

192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.32; 192.168.1.65 - 192.168.1.254.

3.1.3 IP Address and Subnet Mask

Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN share one common network number.

Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.

If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the Prestige. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual workstation on that network.

Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for example,

192.168.1.1, for your Prestige, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP.

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your Prestige will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't need to change the subnet mask computed by the Prestige unless you are instructed to do otherwise.

3-2 Internet Access

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

3.1.4 Private IP Addresses

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated from the Internet, for example, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks:

Table 3-2 Private IP Address Ranges

10.0.0.0 — 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 — 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 — 192.168.255.255

You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by a private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.

Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address;

always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment,

please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466,

Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.

3.1.5 RIP Setup

RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to Both or Out Only, the Prestige will broadcast its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.

The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the Prestige sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network topology.

Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting, also.

By default, RIP Direction is set to Both and the Version set to RIP-1.

Internet Access 3-3

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

3.1.6 IP Multicast

Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1.

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236) is an improvement over version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If you would like to read more detailed information about interoperability between IGMP version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2236. The class D IP address is used to identify host groups and can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to

239.255.255.255. The address 224.0.0.0 is not assigned to any group and is used by IP multicast computers. The address 224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of all IP hosts (including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order to participate in IGMP. The address

224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group.

The Prestige supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up, the Prestige queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the Prestige periodically updates this information. IP Multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the Prestige LAN and/or WAN interfaces using menus 3.2 (LAN) and 11.3 (WAN). Select None to disable IP Multicasting on these interfaces.

3.1.7 IP Alias

IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical networks over the same Ethernet interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with the Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.

3.3.2 PPTP Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks.

PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet.

The P310 supports one PPTP server connection at any given time.

3.3.3 Configure PPTP Client

To configure a PPTP client, you must configure My Login and Password fields for PPP connection and PPTP parameters for PPTP connection.

After configuring the User Name and Password for PPP connection, press [SPACE BAR] in the Encapsulation field in Menu 4 —Internet Access Setup to choose PPTP as your encapsulation option.

If you choose PPTP in menu 4 you will see the next screen.

3.3.4 PPPoE Encapsulation

The Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). You can use PPPoE encapsulation only when you're using the Prestige with an xDSL modem as the WAN device.

PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks. It preserves the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking experience and requires no new learning or procedures.

For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for example, Radius). For the user, PPPoE provides a login and authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, and therefore requires no new learning or procedures for Windows users.

Internet Access 3-11

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP services for specific users.

Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.

By implementing PPPoE directly on the Prestige (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the Prestige does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have access.

If you enable PPPoE in menu 4, you will see the next screen. For more information on PPPoE, please refer to the PPPoE Appendix.

Chapter 4

Remote Node Setup

This chapter shows you how to configure a remote node.

A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the remote gateway and the network behind it across a WAN connection. Note that when you use menu 4 to set up Internet access, you are actually configuring a remote node. We will show you how to configure the following menus:

• Menu 11.1 — Remote Node Profile

• Menu 11.3 — Remote Node Network Layer Options

• Menu 11.5 — Remote Node Filter.

4.1 Remote Node Profile

From the main menu, enter 11 to display Menu 11.1 — Remote Node Profile. There are three variations of this menu depending on whether you choose Ethernet Encapsulation, PPTP or PPPoE Encapsulation.

4.1.1 Ethernet Encapsulation

Choose the Ethernet option when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet. The first menu 11.1 screen you see is for Ethernet Encapsulation shown next.

Nailed-Up Connection

A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic demand. The Prestige does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The first is that idle timeout is disabled. The second is that the Prestige will try to bring up the connection at power-on and whenever the connection is down. A nailed-up connection can be very expensive for obvious reasons.

Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-

rate service or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern.

4.2.1 PPPoE Encapsulation

The Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard (RFC

2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection.

Chapter 5

IP Static Route Setup

This chapter shows you how to configure static routes with your Prestige.

Static routes tell the Prestige routing information that it cannot learn automatically through other means. This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN.

Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the Prestige has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the following diagram through remote node router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn’t know that there is a route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2). The static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different IP address known within another network.

6.1.1 NAT Definitions

Inside/outside denotes where a host is located relative to the Prestige, for example, the workstations of your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside hosts.

Global/local denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for example, the local address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local network, while the global address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is travelling in the WAN side.

Note that inside/outside refers to the location of a host, while global/local refers to the IP address of a host used in a packet. Thus, an inside local address (ILA) is the IP address of an inside host in a packet when the packet is still in the local network, while an inside global address (IGA) is the IP address of the same inside host when the packet is on the WAN side. The following table summarizes this information.

Table 6-1 NAT Definitions

TERM DESCRIPTION

Inside This refers to the host on the LAN.

Outside This refers to the host on the WAN.

Local This refers to the packet address (source or destination) as the packet travels on the LAN.

Global This refers to the packet address (source or destination) as the packet travels on the

WAN.

Network Address Translation (NAT) 6-1

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

NAT never changes the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host.

6.1.2 What NAT Does

In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber (the inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside global address) back the inside local address before forwarding it to the original inside host. Note that the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host is never changed.

The global IP addresses for the inside hosts can be either static or dynamically assigned by the ISP. In addition, you can designate servers, for example, a web server and a telnet server, on your local network and make them accessible to the outside world. If you do not define any servers (for Many-to-One and Many-toMany Overload mapping – see Table 6-2), NAT offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. If no server is defined in these cases, all incoming inquiries will be filtered out by your Prestige, thus preventing intruders from probing your network. For more information on IP address translation, refer to RFC 1631, The

IP Network Address Translator (NAT).

6.1.3 How NAT Works

Each packet has two addresses – a source address and a destination address. For outgoing packets, the ILA (Inside Local Address) is the source address on the LAN, and the IGA (Inside Global Address) is the source address on the WAN. For incoming packets, the ILA is the destination address on the LAN, and the IGA is the destination address on the WAN. NAT maps private (local) IP addresses to globally unique ones required for communication with hosts on other networks. It replaces the original IP source address (and TCP or UDP source port numbers for Many-to-One and Many-to-Many Overload NAT mapping) in each packet and then forwards it to the Internet. The Prestige keeps track of the original addresses and port numbers so incoming reply packets can have their original values restored. The following figure illustrates this.

Figure 6-1 How NAT Works

The following figure illustrates a possible NAT application, where three inside LANs (logical LANs using IP Alias) behind the Prestige can communicate with three distinct WAN networks. More examples follow at the end of this chapter.

6.1.5 NAT Mapping Types

NAT supports five types of IP/port mapping. They are:

1. One to One: In One-to-One mode, the Prestige maps one local IP address to one global IP address.

2. Many to One: In Many-to-One mode, the Prestige maps multiple local IP addresses to one global IP

address. This is equivalent to SUA (i.e., PAT, port address translation), ZyXEL’s Single User Account feature that previous ZyXEL routers supported (the SUA Only option in today’s routers).

3. Many to Many Overload: In Many-to-Many Overload mode, the Prestige maps the multiple local IP

addresses to shared global IP addresses.

4. Many One to One: In Many-One-to-One mode, the Prestige maps the each local IP addresses to unique

global IP addresses.

6-4 Network Address Translation (NAT)

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

5. Server: This type allows you to specify inside servers of different services behind the NAT to be

accessible to the outside world.

Port numbers do not change for One-to-One and Many-One-to-One NAT mapping

types.

The following table summarizes these types.

6.2 Using NAT

6.2.1 SUA (Single User Account) Versus NAT

SUA (Single User Account) is a ZyNOS implementation of a subset of NAT that supports two types of mapping, Many-to-One and Server. See section 6.3.1 for a detailed description of the NAT set for SUA.

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

The Prestige also supports Full Feature NAT to map multiple global IP addresses to multiple private LAN IP addresses of clients or servers using mapping types as outlined in Table 6-2.

1. Choose SUA Only if you have just one public WAN IP address for your Prestige.

2. Choose Full Feature if you have multiple public WAN IP addresses for your

Prestige.

Ordering Your Rules

Ordering your rules is important because the Prestige applies the rules in the order that you specify. When a rule matches the current packet, the Prestige takes the corresponding action and the remaining rules are ignored. If there are any empty rules before your new configured rule, your configured rule will be pushed up by that number of empty rules. For example, if you have already configured rules 1 to 6 in your current set and now you configure rule number 9. In the set summary screen, the new rule will be rule 7, not 9.

Now if you delete rule 4, rules 5 to 7 will be pushed up by 1 rule, so as old rule 5 becomes rule 4, old rule 6 becomes rule 5 and old rule 7 becomes rule 6.

6.4 NAT Server Sets – Port Forwarding

A NAT server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make visible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world.

Use Menu 15 — NAT Setup to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. Entry 12 (port

1026) is non-editable (see Figure 6-10).

In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded.

6-12 Network Address Translation (NAT)

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server

processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may

periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any

active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP.

The most often used port numbers are shown in the following table. Please refer to RFC 1700 for further information about port numbers. Please also refer to the included disk for more examples and details on NAT.

Step 1. Enter 15 in the main menu to go to Menu 15 — NAT Setup.

Step 2. Enter 2 to go to Menu 15.2 — NAT Server Setup.

Step 3. Enter a port number in an unused Start Port No field. To forward only one port, enter it again in

the End Port No field. To specify a range of ports, enter the last port to be forwarded in the End Port No field.

Step 4. Enter the inside IP address of the server in the IP Address field. In the following figure, you have

a computer acting as an FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (ports 21, 23 and 25) at 192.168.1.33.

6.5.3 Example 3: Multiple Public IP Addresses With Inside Servers

In this example, there are 3 IGAs from our ISP. There are many departments but two have their own FTP server. All departments share the same router. The example will reserve one IGA for each department with an FTP server and all departments use the other IGA. Map the FTP servers to the first two IGAs and the other LAN traffic to the remaining IGA. Map the third IGA to an inside web server and mail server. Four rules need to be configured, two bi-directional and two uni-directional as follows.

Rule 1. Map the first IGA to the first inside FTP server for FTP traffic in both directions (1 : 1 mapping,

giving both local and global IP addresses).

Rule 2. Map the second IGA to our second inside FTP server for FTP traffic in both directions (1 : 1

mapping, giving both local and global IP addresses).

Rule 3. Map the other outgoing LAN traffic to IGA3 (Many : 1 mapping).

Rule 4. You also map your third IGA to the web server and mail server on the LAN. Type Server allows

you to specify multiple servers, of different types, to other computers behind NAT on the LAN.

The example situation looks somewhat like this:

Network Address Translation (NAT) 6-17

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

Step 1. In this case you need to configure Address Mapping Set 1 from Menu 15.1 — Address Mapping

Sets. Therefore you must choose the Full Feature option from the Network Address Translation field (in menu 4 or menu 11.3) in Figure 6-17.

Step 2. Then enter 15 from the main menu.

Step 3. Enter 1 to configure the Address Mapping Sets.

Step 4. Enter 1 to begin configuring this new set. Enter a Set Name, choose the Edit Action and then

enter 1 for the Select Rule field. Press [ENTER] to confirm.

Step 5. Select Type as One-to-One (direct mapping for packets going both ways), and enter the local

Start IP as 192.168.1.10 (the IP address of FTP Server 1), the global Start IP as 10.132.50.1 (our

first IGA). (See Figure 6-18).

Step 6. Repeat the previous step for rules 2 to 4 as outlined above.

6.5.4 Example 4: NAT Unfriendly Application Programs

Some applications do not support NAT Mapping using TCP or UDP port address translation. In this case it is better to use Many-One-to-One mapping as port numbers do not change for Many-One-to-One (and

One-to-One) NAT mapping types. The following figure illustrates this.

Figure 6-21 NAT Example 4

Other applications such as some gaming programs are NAT unfriendly because

they embed addressing information in the data stream. These applications won’t

work through NAT even when using One-to-One and Many-One-to-One mapping

types.

6.6 Trigger Port Forwarding

The Prestige monitors outgoing data for a specific port number and protocol (trigger). When there is a match, the Prestige records the IP address of the computer on the LAN that sent the matching data. When the requested data comes back, the Prestige applies the port mapping rules and uses the recorded IP address to get the data back to the proper computer.

6-22 Network Address Translation (NAT)

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

LAN computers dynamically take turns using the mapping based on the trigger port. There is no need to reconfigure a new IP address each time you want a different computer (as you would with Port Forwarding) to use the application.

6.6.1 Two Points To Remember About Trigger Ports

1. Trigger events only happen on data coming from inside the Prestige to the outside.

2. If an application needs a continuous data stream, that port (range) will be tied up so that another

computer on the LAN can’t trigger it.

Only one LAN computer can use a trigger port (range) at a time.
