2.3 Connect your WAN Bridge/Router
2.3.1 Prestige 1100 Connections
This section outlines how to make the connections to your Prestige 1100. Please refer to the following
figure when making connections to the P1100.
Figure 2-1 P1100 Connections
Step 1. Connect WAN Devices to your Prestige 1100
Connect the port of a WAN device to the WAN port on the Prestige 1100 using an appropriate cable.
Please consult the documentation of your WAN device for detailed information when making the
connections.
Step 2. Connecting the Console Port
For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use terminal emulator software on a
workstation and connect it to the Prestige through the console port. A modem can be connected
directly to the Prestige console port for remote configuration (see Figure 1-1). The PC - Prestige
console port direct connection must be made via a null modem (supplied). The Prestige console port is
2-2Hardware Installation & Initial Setup

a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device, not a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment) device, so
the null modem is needed to allow connection to the workstation console port, which is of course a
DTE device also. Connect the 9-pin (smaller) end of the console cable to the console port of the
Prestige and the 25-pin (bigger) end to the null modem. Then connect the null modem to a serial port
(COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your workstation. You can use an extension RS-232 cable if
the enclosed one is too short. After the initial setup, you can modify the configuration remotely
through telnet connections or via a modem connection. See the Telnet Configuration andCapabilities chapter for more information on using telnet to configure your Prestige.
Step 3. Connect your Prestige 1100 to Ethernet
Connect one end of a STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to the Ethernet port of the Prestige 1100 and
the other to a hub using a straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors. If you connect the Prestige
1100 to a workstation directly without a hub, you must use a crossover cable.
Step 4. Connect the Power Cord to your Prestige 1100
Connect the power cord to the port labeled POWER INPUT on the rear panel of your Prestige 1100.
2.4 Power On Your Prestige 1100
At this point, you should have connected the console cable, the WAN device, the Ethernet cable(s), and
the power cord. You can now power on your Prestige 1100 by flipping the power switch to on. (Note:
“I” =ON, “O” = OFF)
Initial Screen
When you power on your Prestige 1100, the router performs several internal tests and initializes the
WAN devices. After the initialization, the Prestige asks you to press [ENTER] to continue, as shown
below:
After you press [ENTER], the Login screen appears prompting you to enter the password, as shown in
the next figure.

3.2 TCP/IP Parameters
3.2.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the houses on a street that share a common street name, the machines on a LAN share one
common network number, also.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP (Internet Service
Provider) 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 (ignoring the trailing
zero) and you must enable the Single User Account feature of the Prestige 1100. 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 3 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, e.g.,
192.168.1.1, for your Prestige 1100.
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your Prestige 1100 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 1100 unless you are instructed to do otherwise.
3.2.2 RIP Setup
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) 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, the Prestige
1100 will broadcast its routing table periodically and 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
1100 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 a 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].
3-2Internet Access
Prestige 1100 Internet Access Router
3.2.3 DHCP Configuration
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 1100 has the DHCP server
capability built-in. The DHCP server is disabled when [DHCP=] is [None.] When [DHCP=] is [Client, ]the
Prestige requests an IP address from a DHCP server on the Ethernet on which the [DHCP] field is set to
[Client].
IP Pool Setup
The Prestige 1100 is pre-configured with a pool of 6 IP addresses.
DNS Server Address(es)
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa,
e.g., the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server(s) is extremely important because
without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. The DNS server
address(es) that you enter in the DHCP setup is passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP
address and subnet mask. Make sure that you obtain the IP address of the DNS server(s) from your ISP.
Your workstations will need this information even if you don’t use the Prestige 1100’s DHCP server.
If the [Primary ]and[ Secondary DNS Server ]fields in [DHCP Setup] are not specified, i.e., left as 0.0.0.0,
the Prestige tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a workstation sends a DNS query
to the Prestige, the Prestige forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays the
response back to the workstation.
Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions. It does not
mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under all circumstances. If your ISP gives you
explicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter their IP addresses in the [DHCP Setup] menu. This way, the
Prestige can pass the DNS servers to the workstations and the workstations can query the DNS server
directly without the Prestige’s intervention.
3.3 TCP/IP and DHCP Ethernet Setup
You will now use Menu 3.2 to configure the Ethernet of your Prestige 1100 for TCP/IP.
To edit Menu 3.2, select Menu 3. Ethernet Setup in the Main Menu and then the appropriate LAN. Then
select the submenu option 2, and press [ENTER]. The screen now displays Menu 3.2 - TCP/IP and DHCP

3.4 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. Host groups are identified by class D IP addresses, i.e., those with
“1110” as their higher-order bits. In dotted decimal notation, host group addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255. Among them, 224.0.0.1 is assigned to the permanent IP hosts group, and 224.0.0.2 is
assigned to the multicast routers group.
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest
version is version 2 (see RFC2236). IP hosts use IGMP to report their multicast group membership to any
immediate-neighbor multicast routers so the multicast routers can decide if a multicast packet needs to be
forwarded. At start up, the Prestige queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership.
After that, the Prestige updates the information by periodic queries. The Prestige implementation of IGMP
Internet Access3-5

is also compatible with version 1. The multicast setting can be turned on or off on Ethernet and remote
nodes.
For IP routing policy information, please refer to Chapter 13: IP Routing Policy.

Private Network IP Addresses
3.6 Single User Account
Typically, if there are multiple users on the LAN wanting to concurrently access the Internet, you will have
to lease a block of legal, or globally unique, IP addresses from the ISP.
The Single User Account (SUA) feature allows you to have the same benefits as having multiple legal
addresses, but only pay for one IP address, thus saving significantly on the subscription fees. (Check with
your ISP before you enable this feature).

The Single User Account feature may also be used on connections to remote networks other than the ISP.
For example, this feature can be used to simplify the allocation of IP addresses when connecting branch
offices to the corporate network.
The IP address for the SUA can be either fixed or dynamically assigned. In addition, you can designate
servers, e.g., a web server, on your local network and make them accessible to outside world.

Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup
If you do not define any server, SUA offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. If no server is
defined, all incoming inquiries will be filtered out by your Prestige and thus preventing intruders from
probing your network.
Your Prestige accomplishes this address sharing by translating the internal LAN IP addresses to a single
address that is globally unique on the Internet. For more information on IP address translation, refer to
RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT).
3.6.1 Advantages of SUA
In summary:
lSUA is a cost-effective solution for small offices with less than 20 hosts to access the Internet or other
remote TCP/IP networks.
l SUA supports servers to be accessible to the outside world.
l SUA can provide firewall protection if you do not specify any server. All incoming inquiries will be
filtered out by your Prestige 1100.
lUDP and TCP datagrams can be routed. In addition, partial ICMP, including echo (ping) and trace
route, is supported.
3.6.2 Single User Account Configuration
The steps for configuring your Prestige for Single User Account are identical to the conventional Internet
access (See configuration instructions in Table 3-4) with the exception that you need to fill in two extra
fields in Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup, as shown in the following figure. SUA here is applied solely to
the output interface and is valid only for LAN -- WAN connections and not for connections between LANs.

3.6.3 Ethernet SUA
The Single User Account (SUA) feature can also apply to Ethernet ports. This feature is useful if you
connect a broadband device such as a xDSL modem or cable modem via the Ethernet port. As there can be
only one interface to the Internet at any one time you should not enable both the WAN SUA (Menu 4) and
Ethernet SUA (Menu 3.2) at the same time. In the example in Figure 3-6 Ethernet SUA , the ADSL modem
is configured as a bridge, so the DHCP server – Ethernet connection is equivalent to a LAN-to-LAN
connection. When [DHCP=] [Client] on the Ethernet in Menu 3.2, then the Prestige will request an IP
address from the DHCP server as shown. Address translation takes place when [SUA= ] [Yes] (in Menu
3.2). The Single User Account (SUA) feature in Menu 3.2 applies solely to the Ethernet interface.

A LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same
building or floor of a building. A WAN (Wide Area Network), on the other hand is an outside connection to
another network or the Internet.

Generally speaking, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible, for obvious reasons.
However, some vendor’s implementation includes specific authentication protocol in the user profile. It
will disconnect if the negotiated protocol is different from that in the user profile, even when the negotiated
protocol is stronger than specified. If you encounter the case where the peer disconnects right after a
successful authentication, please make sure that you specify the correct authentication protocol when
connecting to such an implementation.

Menu 12 - Static Route Setup
5.3 Static Route Setup
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 or a remote network is beyond the one that is
directly connected to a remote node.
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 R1. 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 R1 (via gateway R2). The
static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

Chapter 6:
IPX Configuration
This chapter shows you how to configure the IPX parameters of the Prestige 1100.
6.1 IPX Network Environment
Novell bundles the protocol stack, the server software and routing functionality in their NetWare server
products. So a NetWare server is not only a file or print server, it is also a router.
6.1.1 Network and Node Number
Every IPX machine has a network number and a node number , together they form the complete address
of the machine. The IPX network number is a 32-bit quantity and is usually expressed in 8
hexadecimal digits, e.g., 0893A8CF. The host number is a 48-bit quantity and usually is taken from the
MAC (Media Access Control ) address of the Ethernet hardware, so you don’t have to explicitly
configure the node number.
An IPX client obtains its network number from a server that has the network numbers statically
configured. If there are multiple servers on a network, only one server need to have the network
numbers configured, and all other stations (clients and servers) can obtain the network numbers from it.
The server with configured network numbers is called a seed router.
If you have a NetWare server on the same LAN as the Prestige 1100, we recommend that you set up a
NetWare server as a seed router. Even though the Prestige 1100 is capable as a seed router, a NetWare
server offers a much more extensive facility for network management.
6.1.2 Frame Types
IPX can run on top of four different frame types on the Ethernet. These frame types are 802.2 , 802.3,
Ethernet II (DIX), and SNAP (Sub-Network Access Protocol). Each frame type is a separate logical
network, even though they exist on one physical network.
Even though there are four frame types available on the Ethernet, you should configure as few frame
types as possible on your NetWare server and use automatic frame detection on the clients, to simplify
management and to reduce network overhead.
IPX Configuration6-1
Prestige 1100 Internet Access Router
Figure 6-1 NetWare Network Numbers
6.1.3 External Network Number
Each of the four logical networks (based on frame type) has its own external network number.
6.1.4 Internal Network Number
In addition to the external network numbers, each NetWare server has its own internal network number
that is a virtual network to which the server is attached. It is important to remember that every network
number must be unique for that entire internetwork, either internal or external.
6.2 Prestige 1100 in an IPX Environment
There are two different scenarios in which your Prestige 1100 is deployed:

6.2.1 Prestige 1100 on LAN with Server
If your Prestige is on a LAN with a seed router, you do not need to configure the LAN network
numbers. Your Prestige will learn the network number from the seed router and add the routes to its
routing table.
6.2.2 Prestige 1100 on LAN without Server
Each IPX network must have a seed router. If you only have NetWare clients on your network, then
you must configure the Prestige as a seed router and set up unique network numbers for each frame
type enabled using the Ethernet Setup Menu.

Chapter 7:
Bridging Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure the bridging parameters of your Prestige 1100.
7.1 Bridging in General
Bridging bases the forwarding decision on the MAC (Media Access Control ), or hardware address,
while routing does on the network layer (IP or IPX) address. Bridging allows the Prestige 1100 to
transport packets of network layer protocols that the Prestige 1100 does not route, e.g., SNA, from one
network to another. The caveat is that, compared to routing, bridging generates more traffic for the
same network layer protocol, and it also demands more CPU cycles and memory.
For efficiency reason, do not turn on bridging unless you need to support protocols other than IP and
IPX on your network. For IP and IPX, enable the respective routing if you need it; do not bridge what
the Prestige 1100 can route.
7.2 Bridge Ethernet Setup
Basically, all non-local packets are bridged to the WAN, however, your Prestige 1100 applies special
handling for certain IPX packets to reduce the number of calls, depending on the setting.

Chapter 8:
Filter Configuration
8.1 About Filtering
Your Prestige uses filters to decide whether or not to allow passage of a packet. Data filtering is divided into
incoming and outgoing filters, depending on the direction of the packet relative to a port.
The following sections describe how to configure filter sets. Please see our application notes for more
information and examples on creating and configuring filters.
8.2 The Filter Structure of the Prestige
A filter set consists of one or more filter rules. Usually, you would group related rules, e.g., all the rules for
NetBIOS, into a single set and give it a descriptive name. The Prestige allows you to configure up to
twelve filter sets with six rules in each set, for a total of 72 filter rules in the system.
You can apply up to four filter sets to a particular port to block multiple types of packets. With each filter
set having up to six rules, you can have a maximum of 24 rules active for a single port.
The following diagram illustrates the logic flow when executing a filter rule.

8.4 Configuring a Filter Rule
To configure a filter rule, enter its number in Menu 21.1 - Filter Rules Summary and press [ENTER] to
open Menu 21.1.1 for the rule.
8.4.1 Filter Types and SUA
There are two types of filter rules, Device Filter rules and Protocol Filter (TCP/IP and IPX) rules. Device
Filter rules act on the raw data from/to LAN and WAN. Protocol Filter rules act on the IP and IPX packets.
Device and TCP/IP filter rules are discussed in more detail in the next section.
When NAT/SUA (Network Address Translation/Single User Account) is enabled, the inside IP address and
port number are replaced on a connection-by-connection basis, which makes it impossible to know the
exact address and port on the wire. Therefore, the Prestige applies the protocol filters to the “native” IP
address and port number before NAT/SUA for outgoing packets and after NAT/SUA for incoming packets.
On the other hand, the device filters are applied to the raw packets that appear on the wire. They are applied
at the point where the Prestige is receiving and sending the packets; i.e. the interface. The interface can be
an Ethernet, or any other hardware port. The following diagram illustrates this.

To speed up filtering, all rules in a filter set must be of the same type, i.e., Protocol filters or Device filters.
The class of a filter set is determined by the first rule that you create. When applying the filter sets to a
port, separate menu fields are provided for protocol and device filter sets. If you include a protocol filter set
in a device filters field or vice versa, the Prestige will warn you and will not allow you to save.
8.4.2 TCP/IP Filter Rule
This section shows you how to configure a TCP/IP filter rule. TCP/IP rules allow you to base the rule on
the fields in the IP and the upper layer protocol, e.g., UDP and TCP, headers.
To configure a TCP/IP rules, select TCP/IP Filter Rule from the Filter Type field and press Enter to open

8.4.4 Device Filter Rule
This section shows you how to configure a device filter rule. The purpose of device rules is to allow you to
filter non-IP/IPX packets. For IP and IPX, it is generally easier to use the protocol rules directly.
For Device rules, the Prestige treats a packet as a byte stream as opposed to an IP or IPX packet. You
specify the portion of the packet to check with the Offset (from 0) and the Length fields, both in bytes. The
Prestige applies the Mask (bit-wise ANDing) to the data portion before comparing the result against the
Value to determine a match. The Mask and Value are specified in hexadecimal numbers. Note that it takes
two hexadecimal digits to represent a byte, so if the length is 4, the value in either field will take 8 digits,
e.g., FFFFFFFF.
To configure a device rule, select Device Filter Rule in the Filter Type field and press [ENTER] to open
Menu 21.1.1 - Device Filter Rule, as shown below.

9.1 About SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol for network management and monitoring.
Your Prestige 1100 supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and
monitor the Prestige 1100 through the network. Keep in mind that SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is
configured on your Prestige 1100.

Telnet Configuration and Capabilities
11.1 About Telnet Configuration
Before the Prestige 1100 is properly setup for TCP/IP, the only option for configuring it is through the
console port. Once your Prestige 1100 is configured, you can use telnet to configure it remotely.

Figure 11-1 Telnet Configuration on a TCP/IP Network
If your Prestige 1100 is configured for IPX but not IP routing in Menu 1, telnet is still available provided
you assign the Prestige 1100 a correct IP address and subnet mask. When IP routing is disabled, the
Prestige 1100 can still function as a host.
Telnet Configuration11-1
Prestige 1100 Internet Access Router
11.2 Telnet Under SUA
When Single User Account (SUA) is enabled and an inside server is specified, telnet connections from the
outside will be forwarded to the inside server. So to configure the Prestige via telnet from the outside, you
must first telnet to the inside server, and then telnet from the server to the Prestige using its inside LAN IP
address. If no insider server is specified, telnet to the SUA’s IP address will connect to the Prestige directly.
11.3 Telnet Capabilities
11.3.1 Single Administrator
To prevent confusion and discrepancy on the configuration, your Prestige only allows one administrator to
log in at any time. Your Prestige also gives priority to the console port over telnet. If you have already
connected to your Prestige via telnet, you will be logged out if another user logs in to the Prestige via the
console port.
11.3.2 System Timeout
There is a system timeout of 5 minutes (300 seconds) for either the console port or telnet. Your Prestige
1100 will automatically log you out if you do nothing in this timeout period, except when it is continuously
updating the status in Menu 24.1.
