Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Chapter 1

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 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway With 4-Port Switch

The Prestige 304 is a dual Ethernet Broadband Sharing Gateway with an integrated 4-port switch and robust
network management features for Internet access via external cable/xDSL modem. Equipped with a 10Mbps
Ethernet WAN port, four auto-negotiating 10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN ports for and the Network Address
Translation (NAT) feature, the Prestige is uniquely suited as a broadband Internet access sharing gateway for
multi-computer homes and home offices.

1.2 Features of the Prestige 304

The following are the main features of the Prestige 304.

4-Port Switch

A combination of switch and router makes your Prestige a cost-effective and viable network solution. You
can add up to four computers to the Prestige without the cost of a hub. Add more than four computers to your
LAN by using a hub.

Auto-negotiating LAN 10/100M Ethernet/Fast LAN Interface

A bandwidth-sensitive 10/100Mbps switch provides greater network efficiency than traditional hubs because
the bandwidth is dedicated and not shared. 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.

Web Configurator

Your Prestige includes an intuitive web configurator that makes setup and configuration easy. Included with
the web configurator is embedded help designed to assist you during setup/configuration.

Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-1

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

NAT (Network Address Translation)/SUA (Single User Account)

NAT (RFC 1631) or SUA allows the translation of an Internet Protocol address used within one network to a
different IP address known within another network. NAT/SUA allows you to direct traffic to individual
computers on your LAN, or to a designated DMZ computer, based on the port number request of incoming
traffic. 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.

DHCP Support

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) 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 also
act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real
DHCP server to the clients.

Dynamic DNS Support

With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static host name 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.

IP Multicast

Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in two ways - unicast or broadcast. Multicast is a third way to
deliver IP packets to a group of hosts. 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 versions 1
and 2.

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.

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. Use PPTP to connect to a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data networks via a
familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.

1-2 Getting to Know Your Prestige

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Full Network Management

Your Prestige has a convenient web configurator and also supports an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for
remote management and TFTP (Trivial FTP). You can also use CI commands for configuration and
management.

RoadRunner Support

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

Time and Date

The Prestige gets the current time and date from an external server when you turn it on. The real time is then
displayed in the web configurator and logs.

Logging and Tracing

• Built-in message logging and packet tracing.

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.

1.3 Broadband Internet Access via Cable or DSL Modem

A cable modem or DSL modem can be connected to the Prestige WAN 10M Ethernet port and up to four
computers can be connected to the Prestige LAN 10/100M Ethernet ports for super-fast broadband Internet
access. The Prestige provides not only the high speed Internet access but also a complete solution to
efficiently manage data traffic on your network.

1.4 Prestige Applications

1.4.1 Broadband Internet Access via Cable or DSL Modem

A cable modem or DSL modem can connect to the Prestige for broadband Internet access via Ethernet port

Connect the WAN 10M port on the Prestige to the Ethernet port on your DSL modem using the Ethernet
cable that came with your DSL modem.

2.2.2 LAN 10/100M Ports

You can connect up to four computers directly to the Prestige. For each computer, connect a 10/100M LAN
port on the Prestige to the Network Adapter on the computer using a straight-through Ethernet cable.

If you want to connect more than four computers to your Prestige, you must use an external hub. Connect a
10/100M LAN port on the Prestige to a port on the hub using a crossover Ethernet cable.

When the Prestige is on and correctly connected to a computer or hub, the

corresponding LAN LED on the front panel will turn on.

2.2.3 UPLINK Button

Pushing the UPLINK button in ("on") lets you connect LAN 10/100M port 4 on the Prestige directly to a
computer using a straight-through Ethernet cable. If the UPLINK button is off “not on", you must use a
crossover Ethernet cable for this connection.

When connecting the Prestige LAN 10/100M port 4 to a hub, press the UPLINK button in (“on”) order to
use a crossover Ethernet cable instead of a straight-through cable.

Chapter 4

The Wizard Setup Screens

This chapter provides information on the Wizard Setup screens in the web configurator.

4.1 Wizard Setup – Screen 1

4.1.1 General Setup and System Name

General Setup contains administrative and system-related information. System Name 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 System Name.

• In Windows 2000, click Start -> Settings-> Control Panel and then double-click System. Click the

Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for the Computer name
field and enter it as the System Name.

4.1.2 Domain 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.

4.2 Wizard Setup - Screen 2

The Prestige offers three choices of encapsulation. They are Ethernet, PPTP or PPPoE.

4.2.1 Ethernet

Choose Ethernet when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet.

4.2.2 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.

The Wizard Setup Screens 4-1

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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

For more information on PPTP, please refer to the PPTP Appendix.

The P304 supports one PPTP server connection at any given time.

Configure a PPTP Client

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

4.2.3 PPPoE Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF Draft
standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example, xDSL,
cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks. It preserves the existing Microsoft Dial­Up 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.

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.

For more information on PPPoE, please refer to the PPPoE Appendix.

4.3 Wizard Setup – Screen 3

4.3.1 WAN IP Address Assignment

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated from the
Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts

4-2 The Wizard Setup Screens

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following
three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks:

Table 4-1 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.

4.3.2 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 instance,

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

The Wizard Setup Screens 4-3

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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.

4.3.3 DNS Server Address Assignment

Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, for
instance, 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.

Table 4-2 Example of Network Properties for LAN Servers with Fixed IP Addresses

Choose an IP address 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.32; 192.168.1.65-192.168.1.254.

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Gateway (or default route) 192.168.1.1(Prestige LAN IP)

4.3.4 WAN Setup

You can configure the WAN port's MAC Address by either using the factory default or cloning the MAC
address from a workstation on your LAN. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to
the "rom" file (ZyNOS configuration file). It will not change unless you change the setting or upload a
different "rom" file.

ZyXEL recommends you clone the MAC address from a workstation on your LAN

even if your ISP does not require MAC address authentication.

Your Prestige WAN Port is always set at half-duplex mode as most cable/DSL modems only support half­duplex mode. Make sure your modem is in half-duplex mode.

Your Prestige supports full duplex mode on the LAN side.

4.4 Basic Setup Complete

Well done! You have successfully set up your Prestige to operate on your network and access the Internet.

4-4 The Wizard Setup Screens

Chapter 5

The Advanced Screens

This chapter provides information on the Advanced screens in the web configurator.

5.1 The System Screen

This section briefly describes the tabs General, DDNS and Password in the system screen.

5.1.1 General Setup

Refer to section 4.1.1.

5.1.2 Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS 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, etc.). You can also access your FTP
server or Web site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (for istance, 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. The Dynamic
DNS Client service provider will give you a password or key. The Prestige, at the time of writing, supports
www.dyndns.org clients.

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.

If you have a private WAN IP address, then you can not use Dynamic DNS.

5.1.3 Password

This screen allows you to change the Prestige password (recommended).

The Advanced Screens 5-1

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

5.2 The LAN Screen

This section details DHCP setup and LAN TCP/IP in the LAN screen.

5.2.1 DHCP Setup

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
computer must be manually configured. The Prestige can also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay)
where it relays IP address assignment from the 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 instance, server for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have.

Primary and Secondary DNS Server

Refer to section 4.3.2.

5.2.2 LAN TCP/IP

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

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), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured.

IP Address and Subnet Mask

Refer to section 4.3.2 for this information.

RIP Setup

RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to exchange routing
information with other routers. RIP Direction 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

5-2 The Advanced Screens

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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.

RIP Version 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 send 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 RIP Version to RIP-1.

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 in the web configurator (ADVANCED->LAN; ADVANCED->WAN). Select None to
disable IP Multicasting on these interfaces.

5.3 The WAN Screen

This screen allows you to configure the WAN parameters of your Prestige. Refer to section 4.3.

5.4 SUA/NAT

This section discusses SUA (Single User Account)/NAT (Network Address Translation) Server applications
of the Prestige.

The Advanced Screens 5-3

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

5.4.1 Introduction

SUA (Single User Account) is a ZyNOS implementation of a subset of NAT (Network Address Translation).

5.4.2 The SUA Server Screen

A SUA 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 SUA makes your whole inside network appear as a single
computer to the outside world.

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. You can a
allocate a server IP address that corresponds to a port or a range of ports.

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.

Default DMZ Server IP Address

In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default DMZ server. A default DMZ server
receives packets from ports that are not specified in this screen.

If you do not assign a Default DMZ Server IP Address, then all packets received for

ports not specified in this screen will be discarded.

5.4.3 Services and Port Numbers

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 Supporting CD for more examples and details on
SUA/NAT.

5.5 The Static Route Screen

This section provides general information about static routes.

5.5.1 Introduction

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.

The Advanced Screens 5-7

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

5.5.2 General Information About Static Routes

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
figure 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.

Figure 5-4 Example of Static Routing Topology

5.5.3 IP Static Route Setup

In the web configurator, click ADVANCED ->STATIC ROUTE. Click a static route index number, then
click Edit. Use the embedded help to assist you in filling out the required information for each static route.

5.6 The Parental Control Screen

This section provides a brief overview of how you can restrict/control Internet access by using the web
configurator. This screen allows schools and businesses to create and enforce Internet access policies tailored
to their needs. Use the tabs in this screen to:

• create policies that block certain words and specific URLs.

• define when the policies you create become active.

• send an alert/log to the e-mail address of your choice when a user attempts to access restricted material.

• assign the IP address of a user who will be exempt from policies (on the LAN).

Firmware and Configuration File

Maintenance

This chapter tells you how to back up and restore your configuration file as well as upload new

firmware and a new configuration using FTP/TFTP.

It is strongly recommended that you use the web configurator to perform functions mentioned in this chapter
(refer to Chapter 6). The web configurator is less technical and more intuitive than using FTP/TFTP. Refer to
Chapter 3 to connect to the web configurator. If you wish use FTP/TFTP, then follow the instructions in this
chapter.

7.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings in the menus
such as password, DHCP Setup, TCP/IP Setup, etc. It arrives from ZyXEL with a "rom" filename extension.
Once you have customized Prestige settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a filename of
your choosing.

ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the "ras" file) is the system firmware
and has a "bin" filename extension. With many FTP and TFTP clients, the filenames are similar to those seen
next.

ftp> put firmware.bin ras

This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file " firmware.bin" to the Prestige.

ftp> get rom-0 config.cfg

This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to the computer file "config.cfg".

If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source, you will
need to rename them as the Prestige only recognizes "rom-0" and "ras". Be sure you keep unaltered copies of
both files for later use.

The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on Prestige
and the external filename refers to the filename not on the Prestige, that is, on your computer, local network
or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary. After uploading new firmware, see the ZyNOS
Firmware Version field in the web configurator by clicking MAINTENANCE->SYSTEM STATUS to
confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware version.

7.2 Backup Configuration

FTP is the preferred method for backing up your current configuration to your computer because it is very
fast.

Please note that terms "download" and "upload" are relative to the computer. Download means to transfer
from the Prestige to the computer, while upload means from your computer to the Prestige.

7.2.1 Using the FTP Command from the Command Line

Step 1. Launch the FTP client on your computer.

Step 2. Enter "open", followed by a space and the IP address of your Prestige.

Step 3. Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.

Step 4. Enter your password as requested (the default is "1234").

Step 5. Enter "bin" to set transfer mode to binary.

Step 6. Use "get" to transfer files from the Prestige to the computer, for example, "get rom-0 config.rom"

transfers the configuration file on the Prestige to your computer and renames it "config.rom". See
earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.

Step 7. Enter "quit" to exit the ftp prompt.

7.2.4 Backup Configuration Using TFTP

The Prestige supports the up/downloading of the firmware and the configuration file using TFTP (Trivial File
Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP should work over WAN as well, it is not recommended.

To backup the configuration file, follow the procedure shown next.

Step 1. Because TFTP does not have any security checks, the Prestige records the IP address of the telnet

client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.

Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance 7-3

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Step 2. Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the Prestige. Set the transfer mode to

binary before starting data transfer.

Step 3. Use the TFTP client (see the next example) to transfer files between the Prestige and the

computer. The file name for the configuration file is "rom-0" (rom-zero, not capital letter "O").

For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the

documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use "get" to transfer from

the Prestige to the computer and "binary" to set binary transfer mode.

7.2.5 TFTP Command Example

The following is an example TFTP command:

tftp [-i] host get rom-0 config.rom

where "i" specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), "host" is the
Prestige IP address, "get" transfers the file source on the Prestige (rom-0, name of the configuration file on
the Prestige) to the file destination on the computer and renames it config.rom.

7.2.6 GUI-based TFTP Clients

The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients.

Table 7-3 General Commands for GUI-based TFTP Clients

7.3 Restore or Upload a Configuration File

This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this function erases the
current configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration; please do not attempt to restore
unless you have a backup configuration file stored on disk.

FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your Prestige since FTP file
transfer is fast. Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically restart after the file transfer is
complete.

WARNING!

DO NOT INTERUPT THE FILE TRANSFER PROCESS AS THIS MAY PERMANENTLY

DAMAGE YOUR PRESTIGE. WHEN THE RESTORE CONFIGURATION PROCESS IS

COMPLETE, THE PRESTIGE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RESTART.

Step 2. Enter "open", followed by a space and the IP address of your Prestige.

Step 3. Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.

Step 4. Enter your password as requested (the default is "1234").

Step 5. Enter "bin" to set transfer mode to binary.

Step 6. Find the "rom" file (on your computer) that you want to restore to your Prestige.

Step 7. Use "put" to transfer files from the Prestige to the computer, for example, "put config.rom rom-0"

transfers the configuration file "config.rom" on your computer to the Prestige. See earlier in this
chapter for more information on filename conventions.

Step 8. Enter "quit" to exit the ftp prompt. The Prestige will automatically restart after a successful

restore process.

7.4.4 TFTP File Upload

The Prestige also supports the uploading of firmware files using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over
LAN. Although TFTP should work over WAN as well, it is not recommended.

To transfer the firmware and the configuration file, follow the procedure shown next.

Step 1. Because TFTP does not have any security checks, the Prestige records the IP address of the telnet

client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.

Step 2. Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the Prestige. Set the transfer mode to

binary before starting data transfer.

Step 3. Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the Prestige and the

computer. The file name for the firmware is "ras".

For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the documentation of your TFTP
client program. For UNIX, use "get" to transfer from the Prestige to the computer, "put" the other way
around, and "binary" to set binary transfer mode.

7.4.5 TFTP Upload Command Example

The following is an example TFTP command:

tftp [-i] host put firmware.bin ras

where "i" specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), "host" is the
Prestige's IP address, "put" transfers the file source on the computer (firmware.bin - name of the firmware on
the computer) to the file destination on the remote host (ras - name of the firmware on the Prestige).

Commands that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.

PPPoE

PPPoE in Action

An ADSL modem bridges a PPP session over Ethernet (PPP over Ethernet, RFC 2516) from your PC to an
ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) which connects to a xDSL Access Concentrator where the PPP
session terminates (see the next figure). One PVC can support any number of PPP sessions from your LAN.
PPPoE provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP.

Benefits of PPPoE

PPPoE offers the following benefits:

1. It provides you with a familiar dial-up networking (DUN) user interface.

2. It lessens the burden on the carriers of provisioning virtual circuits all the way to the ISP on multiple

switches for thousands of users. For GSTN (PSTN & ISDN), the switching fabric is already in place.

3. It allows the ISP to use the existing dial-up model to authenticate and (optionally) to provide

differentiated services.

Traditional Dial-up Scenario

The following diagram depicts a typical hardware configuration where PCs use traditional dial-up
networking.

Diagram 1 Single-PC per Modem Hardware Configuration

Appendix A A

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

How PPPoE Works

The PPPoE driver makes the Ethernet appear as a serial link to the PC and the PC runs PPP over it, while the
modem bridges the Ethernet frames to the Access Concentrator (AC). Between the AC and an ISP, the AC is
acting as a L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator) and tunnels the PPP
frames to the ISP. The L2TP tunnel is capable of carrying multiple PPP sessions.

With PPPoE, the VC (Virtual Circuit) is equivalent to the dial-up connection and is between the modem and
the AC, as opposed to all the way to the ISP. However, the PPP negotiation is between the PC and the ISP.

The Prestige as a PPPoE Client

When using the Prestige as a PPPoE client, the PCs on the LAN see only Ethernet and are not aware of
PPPoE. This alleviates the administrator from having to manage the PPPoE clients on the individual PCs.

PPTP

What is PPTP?

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is a Microsoft proprietary protocol (RFC 2637 for PPTP is
informational only) to tunnel PPP frames.

How can we transport PPP frames from a PC to a broadband modem over Ethernet?

A solution is to build PPTP into the ANT (ADSL Network Termination) where PPTP is used only over the
short haul between the PC and the modem over Ethernet. For the rest of the connection, the PPP frames are
transported with PPP over AAL5 (RFC 2364). The PPP connection, however, is still between the PC and the
ISP. The various connections in this setup are depicted in the following diagram. The drawback of this
solution is that it requires one separate ATM VC per destination.

Diagram 3 Transport PPP frames over Ethernet

PPTP and the Prestige

When the Prestige is deployed in such a setup, it appears as a PC to the ANT (ADSL Network Termination).

In Windows VPN or PPTP Pass-Through feature, the PPTP tunneling is created from Windows 95, 98 and
NT clients to an NT server in a remote location. The pass-through feature allows users on the network to
access a different remote server using the Prestige's Internet connection. In NAT mode, the Prestige is able to
pass the PPTP packets to the internal PPTP server (for example, NT server) behind the NAT. In the case
above as the PPTP connection is initialized by the remote PPTP Client, the user must configure the PPTP
clients. The Prestige initializes the PPTP connection, hence there is no need to configure the remote PPTP
clients.

Appendix B C

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

PPTP Protocol Overview

PPTP is very similar to L2TP, since L2TP is based on both PPTP and L2F (Cisco's Layer 2 Forwarding).
Conceptually, there are three parties in PPTP, namely the PNS (PPTP Network Server), the PAC (PPTP
Access Concentrator) and the PPTP user. The PNS is the box that hosts both the PPP and the PPTP stacks
and forms one end of the PPTP tunnel. The PAC is the box that dials/answers the phone calls and relays the
PPP frames to the PNS. The PPTP user is not necessarily a PPP client (can be a PPP server too). Both the
PNS and the PAC must have IP connectivity; however, the PAC must in addition have dial-up capability.
The phone call is between the user and the PAC and the PAC tunnels the PPP frames to the PNS. The PPTP
user is unaware of the tunnel between the PAC and the PNS.

Diagram 4 PPTP Protocol Overview

Microsoft includes PPTP as a part of the Windows OS. In Microsoft's implementation, the PC, and hence the
Prestige, is the PNS that requests the PAC (the ANT) to place an outgoing call over AAL5 to an RFC 2364
server.

Control and PPP Connections

Each PPTP session has distinct control connection and PPP data connection.

Call Connection

The control connection runs over TCP. Similar to L2TP, a tunnel control connection is first established
before call control messages can be exchanged. Please note that a tunnel control connection supports
multiple call sessions.

The following diagram depicts the message exchange of a successful call setup between a PC and an ANT.

Diagram 5 Example Message Exchange between PC and an ANT

D Appendix B

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

PPP Data Connection

The PPP frames are tunneled between the PNS and PAC over GRE (General Routing Encapsulation, RFC
1701, 1702). The individual calls within a tunnel are distinguished using the Call ID field in the GRE
header.

A command line interface is a computer environment in which you enter predefined
commands on the command line to modify, configure and display information about a
device or devices. A command line is the line on the display screen where a command
is expected. Generally, the command line is the line that contains the most recently
displayed command prompt. An interface is a set of commands (for example, a ZyXEL
Command Line Interface) or menus (for example, a ZyXEL web configurator) used to
communicate with a program. A command-driven interface is an interface in which you
enter commands.

FTP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically assigns IP addresses to clients
when they log on. DHCP centralizes IP address management on central computers that
run the DHCP server program. DHCP leases addresses, for a period of time, which
means that past addresses are "recycled" and made available for future reassignment to
other systems.

Domain Name System links names to IP addresses. When you access Web sites on the
Internet you can type the IP address of the site or the DNS name. When you type a
domain name in a Web browser a query is sent to the primary DNS server defined in
your Web browser's configuration dialog box. The DNS server converts the name you
specified to an IP address and returns this address to your system. Thereafter, the IP
address is used in all subsequent communications.

The unique name that identifies an Internet site. Domain Names always have two or
more parts that are separated by dots. The part on the left is the most specific and the
part on the right is the most general.

A very common method of networking computers in a LAN. There are a number of
adaptations to the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard, including adaptations with data rates
of 10 Mbits/sec and 100 Mbits/sec over coaxial cable, twisted-pair cable and fiber-optic
cable. The latest version of Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, has a data rate of 1 Gbit/sec.

File Transfer Protocol is an Internet file transfer service that operates on the Internet
and over TCP/IP networks. FTP is basically a client/server protocol in which a system
running the FTP server accepts commands from a system running an FTP client. The
service allows users to send commands to the server for uploading and downloading
files. FTP is popular on the Internet because it allows for speedy transfer of large files
between two systems.

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. The most common protocol used on the Internet. HTTP
is the primary protocol used for web sites and web browsers. It is also prone to certain
kinds of attacks.

Internet Assigned Number Authority acts as the clearing house to assign and coordinate
the use of numerous Internet protocol parameters such as Internet addresses, domain

Internet Control Message Protocol is a message control and error-reporting protocol
between a host server and a gateway to the Internet ICMP uses Internet Protocol (IP)
datagrams, but the messages are processed by the TCP/IP software and are not directly
apparent to the application user.

(Upper case "I"). The vast collection of inter-connected networks that use TCP/IP
protocols evolved from the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network)
of the late 1960's and early 1970's.

(Lower case "i"). Any time you connect two or more networks together, you have an
internet.

A private network inside a company or organization that uses the same kinds of
software that you would find on the public Internet, but that is only for internal use.

IP

Internet Protocol. (Currently IP version 4 or IPv4). The underlying protocol for
routing packets on the Internet and other TCP/IP-based networks.

IP Pool

Internet Protocol Pool refers to the collective group of IP addresses located in any
particular place (for example, LAN, WAN, Ethernet, etc.).

ISP

Internet Service Providers provide connections into the Internet for home users and
businesses. There are local, regional, national, and global ISPs. You can think of local
ISPs as the gatekeepers into the Internet.

NAT

Local Area Network is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. A LAN, as its name implies, is limited to a local area. This has to do more
with the electrical characteristics of the medium than the fact that many early LANs
were designed for departments, although the latter accurately describes a LAN as well.
LANs have different topologies, the most common being the linear bus and the star
configuration.

Light Emitting Diode. LEDs are visual indicators that relay information about the
status of specific P304 functions to the user by lighting up, turning off or blinking.
LEDs are usually found on the front panel of the physical device. Examples include
Status, Power and System LEDS.

On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC (Media Access Control)
address is a computer's unique hardware number. (On an Ethernet LAN, it's the same
as your Ethernet address). The MAC layer frames data for transmission over the
network, then passes the frame to the physical layer interface where it is transmitted as
a stream of bits.

relays the PPP frames to the PNS (PPTP Network Server). A PAC must have IP and
dial-up capability.

PPPoE

Post Office Protocol. This is a common protocol used for sending, receiving, and
delivering mail messages.

An Internet port refers to a number that is part of a URL, appearing after a colon (:),
directly following the domain name. Every service on an Internet server listens on a
particular port number on that server. Most services have standard port numbers, for
instance, Web servers normally listen on port 80.

An interface on a computer for connecting peripherals or devices to the computer. A
printer port, for example, is an interface that is designed to have a printer connected to
it. Ports can be defined by specific hardware (such as a keyboard port) or through
software.

Plain Old Telephone Service is the analog telephone service that runs over copper
twisted-pair wires and is based on the original Bell telephone system. Twisted-pair
wires connect homes and businesses to a neighborhood central office. This is called the
local loop. The central office is connected to other central offices and long-distance
facilities.

Point to Point Protocol. PPP encapsulates and transmits IP (Internet Protocol)
datagrams over serial point-to-point links. PPP works with other protocols such as IPX
(Internetwork Packet Exchange). The protocol is defined in IETF (Internet Engineering
Task Force) RFC 1661 through 1663. PPP provides router-to-router, host-to-router, and
host-to-host connections.

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) relies on two widely accepted standards:
PPP and Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to
the Internet through a common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless
device or cable modem. All the users over the Ethernet share a common connection, so
the Ethernet principles supporting multiple users in a LAN combine with the principles
of PPP, which apply to serial connections. From authentication, accounting and secure
access to configuration management, PPPoE supports a broad range of existing
applications and services.

PPTP

Protocol

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.

A "language" for communicating on a network. Protocols are sets of standards or rules
used to define, format and transmit data across a network. There are many different
protocols used on networks. For example, most web pages are transmitted using the
HTTP protocol.

Router

Public Switched Telephone Network was put into place many years ago as a voice
telephone call-switching system. The system transmits voice calls as analog signals
across copper twisted cables from homes and businesses to neighborhood COs (central
offices); this is often called the local loop. The PSTN is a circuit-switched system,
meaning that an end-to-end private circuit is established between caller and the person
called.

This is the name of the firmware on the ZyXEL device. Renaming may be necessary
when uploading new firmware to the device.

An RFC (Request for Comments) is an Internet formal document or standard that is the
result of committee drafting and subsequent review by interested parties. Some RFCs
are informational in nature. Of those that are intended to become Internet standards, the
final version of the RFC becomes the standard and no further comments or changes are
permitted. Change can occur, however, through subsequent RFCs.

Routing Information Protocol is an interior or intra-domain routing protocol that uses
distance-vector routing algorithms. RIP is used on the Internet and is common in the
NetWare environment as a method for exchanging routing information between routers.

This is the name of the configuration file on your ZyXEL device. Renaming may be
necessary when uploading a new configuration file to your ZyXEL device.

A device that connects two networks together. Routers monitor, direct and filter
information that passes between these networks. Because of their location, routers are a
good place to install traffic or mail filters. Routers are also prone to attacks because
they contain a great deal of information about a network.

S

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is a popular management protocol defined by
the Internet community for TCP/IP networks. It is a communication protocol for
collecting information from devices on the network.

Static Routing

Static routes tell routing information that a networking device cannot learn
automatically through other means. The need for static routing can arise in cases where
RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is beyond the one that is directly
connected to a remote node.

STP

Shielded Twisted-Pair cable consists of copper-core wires surrounded by an insulator.

L Glossary

Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Two wires are twisted together to form a pair; the pair form a balanced circuit. The
twisting prevents interference problems, STP provides protection against external
crosstalk.

TFTP

A cable that wires a pin to its equivalent pin. This cable connects two dissimilar
devices, for example, a data terminal equipment (DTE) device and a data
communications equipment (DCE) device. A straight through Ethernet cable is the most
commonly used Ethernet cable.

Single User Account. Your system's SUA feature allows multiple user Internet access
for the cost of a single ISP account. See also NAT.

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your device
will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP Address that you entered.
You do not need to change the computer subnet mask unless you are instructed to do
so.

Transmission Control Protocol is a connection-oriented transport service that ensures
the reliability of message delivery. It verifies that messages and data were received.

A device that allows you to send commands to a computer somewhere else. At a
minimum, this usually means a keyboard, display screen and some simple circuitry.

Software that pretends to be (emulates) a physical terminal and allows you to type
commands to a computer somewhere else.

Trivial File Transfer Protocol is an Internet file transfer protocol similar to FTP (File
Transfer Protocol), but it is scaled back in functionality so that it requires fewer
resources to run. TFTP uses the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) rather than TCP
(Transmission Control Protocol).

Twisted Pair

Two insulated wires, usually copper, twisted together and often bound into a common
sheath to form multi-pair cables. In ISDN, the cables are the basic path between a
subscriber's terminal or telephone and the PBX or the central office.

U

UDP

User Datagram Protocol. DP is a connectionless transport service that dispenses with
the reliability services provided by TCP. UDP gives applications a direct interface with
the Internet Protocol (IP) and the ability to address a particular application process
running on a host via a port number without setting up a connection session.

including switched and permanent telephone circuits, terrestrial radio systems and
satellite systems.

This is a HTML-based configurator that allows easy setup and management..

World Wide Web. Frequently used (incorrectly) when referring to "The Internet".
WWW has two major definitions. One, the whole constellation of resources that can be
accessed using Gopher, FTP, HTTP, USENET, WAIS and other tools. Two, the
universe of hypertext servers (HTTP servers).

Digital Subscriber Line(s) where x, when specified, denotes a particular flavor of DSL,
eg., ADSL, G.SHDSL, SDSL, VDSL, RDSL, etc.

ZyXEL Network Operating System is the firmware used in many ZyXEL products.
