Information for Canadian Users

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets

certain telecommunications network protective operation and safety requirements. The Industry Canada label

does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to a user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of

the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of

connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may

be extended by means of a certified connector assembly. The customer should be aware that compliance with

the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by

the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may

give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Chapter 1

Getting to Know Your Prestige 314 PLUS

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

fast Internet access.

1.1 The Prestige Broadband Sharing Gateway With 4-Port Switch

The Prestige 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
10/100Mbps Ethernet 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.

The Prestige web configurator is a breeze to operate and totally independent of the operating system platform
you use.

1.2 Features of the Prestige 314 PLUS

The following are the main features of the Prestige.

Broadband WAN Connection with Integrated 4-Port Switch

A combination of switch and router makes your Prestige a cost-effective and viable network solution. A 4­port bandwidth-sensitive 10/100Mbps switch provides greater network efficiency than traditional hubs
because the bandwidth is dedicated and not shared. An unlimited number of computers may be connected to
your Prestige by adding other hubs if your LAN consists of more than 4 computers.

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.

Auto-Sensing Ethernet LAN Ports

The LAN ports on the Prestige automatically adjust for straight-through or crossover cabling. This automatic
polarity correction helps find and fix common cabling problems and it simplifies the installation process as
the can be either a straight-through or crossover cable. The Prestige automatically switches its transmit and
receive circuitry to accommodate the link partner’s polarity.

Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-1

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the Prestige and other UPnP enabled devices can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.

Traffic Redirect

Traffic Redirect is used to sustain the Internet connection. The Prestige detects if the connectivity has been
lost and will forward the outgoing traffic to another specified gateway.

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).

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.

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, Windows 2000 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.

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 service provider.

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.

1-2 Getting to Know Your Prestige

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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.

IP Alias

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

Call Scheduling

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

Call Control

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

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.

RoadRunner Support

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

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
you can enter the time manually but each time the system is booted, the time & date will be reset to 1/1/2000
0:0:0.

Logging and Tracing

♦ Built-in message logging and packet tracing.

♦ Unix syslog facility support.

Embedded FTP and TFTP Services

The Prestige’s embedded FTP and TFTP services enable the fast upgrade of firmware via standard file
transfer protocols.

Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-3

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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.

Packet Filtering

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

1.3 Broadband Internet Access via Cable or DSL Modem

A cable modem or DSL modem can be connected to the Prestige 10M WAN Ethernet port and up to four
computers can be connected to the four Prestige 10/100M LAN 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.

2-2 Hardware Installation & Initial Setup

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

2.3 Connecting Your Prestige

This section outlines how to connect your Prestige to the LAN and the WAN. If you want to connect a cable

modem, you must connect the coaxial cable from your cable service to the threaded coaxial cable connector

on the back of the cable modem. Connect an xDSL modem to the xDSL wall jack.

Step 1. Connecting the Console Port

For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use terminal emulator software on your computer

and connect it to the Prestige through the console port. Connect the 9-pin end of the console cable to the

console port of the Prestige and the other end (choice of 9-pin or 25-pin, depending on your computer) end to

a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer. 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.

Step 2. Connecting the Prestige to the Broadband Modem

The WAN connection cable should be STP (Shielded Twisted Pair).

Step 2a. Connecting the Prestige to the cable modem:

Connect the WAN port (silver) on the Prestige to the Ethernet port on the cable modem

using the cable that came with your cable modem. The Ethernet port on a cable modem is

sometimes labeled "PC" or "Workstation".

OR

Step 2b. Connecting the Prestige to the xDSL Modem:

Connect the WAN port (silver) on the Prestige to the Ethernet port on the xDSL modem

using the cable that came with your xDSL modem.

Step 3. Connecting the Prestige to the LAN

When the Prestige Ethernet cable is correctly connected to a computer or a hub,

the corresponding LAN LED on the front panel will go on.

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 cable

Hardware Installation & Initial Setup 2-3

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

If you have more than four computers, 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.

The Uplink button allows you to reverse the role of LAN port 4. Pushing the Uplink button in (“on”) lets

you connect LAN port 4 on the Prestige directly to a computer using a crossover Ethernet cable. If the

Uplink button is not “on”, you must use a straight-through cable for this connection.

When connecting the Prestige LAN port 4 to an external hub, pressing the Uplink button allows a straight-

through Ethernet cable to be used instead of a crossover cable.

Step 4. Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige

Connect one end of the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.

To prevent damage to the Prestige, make sure you have the correct power adapter.

See the Power Adapter Specification Appendix for regional specifications.

Step 5. Grounding the Prestige (Optional)

Ground the Prestige by connecting a grounded wire to the F.G. (Frame Ground) of the Prestige.

2.4 Additional Installation Requirements

In addition to the contents of your package, there are other hardware and software requirements you need

before you can install and use your Prestige. These requirements include:

1. A computer(s) with an installed Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card).

2. A computer equipped with terminal emulation communications software configured to the following

parameters:

♦ VT100 terminal emulation.

♦ 9600 baud.

♦ No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, flow control set to none.

3. A cable/xDSL modem and an ISP account.

2-4 Hardware Installation & Initial Setup

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

2.5 Turning on Your Prestige

At this point, you should have connected the console port, the LAN port(s), the WAN port and the power

port to the appropriate devices or lines. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. The PWR LED should be

on. The SYS LED will come on after the system tests are complete. The WAN LED and one of the LAN

LEDs come on immediately after the SYS LED comes on, if proper connections have been made to the LAN

and WAN ports.

2.7.1 Resetting the Prestige

If you forget your password or cannot access the SMT menu, you will need to reload the factory-default

configuration file. Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-

default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the

speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and

flow control set to none. The password will be reset to “1234”, also.

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. See section 12.4 for more information on how to transfer the configuration file

to your Prestige.

Procedure To Use The Reset Button

Make sure the SYS led is on (not blinking) before you begin this procedure.

Step 1. Press the RESET button for ten seconds, then release it. If the SYS LED begins to blink, the

defaults have been restored and the Prestige restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.

Step 2. Turn the Prestige off.

Step 3. While pressing the RESET button, turn the Prestige on.

Step 4. Continue to hold the RESET button. The SYS LED will begin to blink and flicker very

quickly after about 10 or 15 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and

the Prestige is now restarting.

2.8 General Setup

Menu 1 - General Setup contains administrative and system-related information (shown next). 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.

Hardware Installation & Initial Setup 2-9

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

• 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.

• In Windows XP, click Start, Control Panel, System. Click the Computer Name tab. Note the

entry for the Computer Description field and enter this entry as the 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.

2.8.1 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

Internet Access 3-1

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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, e.g., server for mail, FTP, telnet, web, etc., that you may have.

DNS Server Address

Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map 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 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 3-1 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)

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

3-2 Internet Access

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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, e.g.,

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.

3.1.4 Private IP Addresses

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated from the

Internet, e.g., 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.

Internet Access 3-3

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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.

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

3-4 Internet Access

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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.

Internet Access 3-11

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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

Internet.

The P314 PLUS 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 (e.g., 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.

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

Network Address Translation (NAT)

This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the Prestige.

4.1 Introduction

NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a

packet, e.g., the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different IP address

known within another network.

4.1.1 NAT Definitions

Inside/outside denotes where a host is located relative to the Prestige, e.g., 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, e.g., 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 traveling 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 4-1 NAT Definitions

TERM DEFINITION

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.

NAT 4-1

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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

4.1.2 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, e.g., 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-to-Many

Overload mapping – see Table 4-2), 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).

4.1.3 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.

4-2 NAT

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Figure 4-1 How NAT Works

4.1.4 NAT Application

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.

NAT 4-3

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Figure 4-2 NAT Application With IP Alias

4.1.5 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).

4-4 NAT

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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.

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.

4.2 Using NAT

4.2.1 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 4.3.1 for a detailed description of the NAT set for SUA.

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 4-2.

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.

4.2.2 Applying NAT

4.3 NAT Setup

Use the Address Mapping Sets menus and submenus to create the mapping table used to assign global

addresses to computers on the LAN. You can see two NAT Address Mapping sets in menu 15.1. You can

only configure Set 1. Set 255 is used for SUA. When you select Full Feature in menu 4 or 11.3, the SMT

will use Set 1, which supports all mapping types as outlined in Table 4-2. When you select SUA Only, the

SMT will use the pre-configured Set 255 (read only).

The Server Set is a list of LAN side servers mapped to external ports. To use this set (one set for the 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.

4.3.2 Port Forwarding Setup

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 4-10).

NAT 4-13

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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.

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.

The following is an example of trigger port forwarding.

.

Figure 4-12 Trigger Port Forwarding Process: Example

1. Jane requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070).

2. Port 7070 is a “trigger” port and causes the Prestige to record Jane’s computer IP address. The Prestige

associates Jane's computer IP address with the "incoming" port range of 6970-7170.

3. The Real Audio server responds using a port number ranging between 6970-7170.

4-16 NAT

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

4. The Prestige forwards the traffic to Jane’s computer IP address.

5. Only Jane can connect to the Real Audio server until the connection is closed or times out. The

Prestige times out in three minutes with UDP (User Datagram Protocol) or two hours with TCP/IP

(Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).

Two Points To Remember About Trigger Ports

1. Trigger events only happen on data that is going coming from inside the Prestige and going 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.

4.4 General NAT Examples

4.4.1 Internet Access Only

In the following Internet access example, you only need one rule where all your ILAs (Inside Local

addresses) map to one dynamic IGA (Inside Global Address) assigned by your ISP.

4-18 NAT

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:

Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup

Figure 4-15 Menu 4 — Internet Access & NAT Example

From menu 4 shown above, simply choose the SUA Only option from the Network Address Translation

field. This is the Many-to-One mapping discussed in section 4.1.5. The SUA Only read-only option from the

Network Address Translation field in menus 4 and 11.3 is specifically pre-configured to handle this case.

NAT 4-19

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

4.4.2 Example 2: Internet Access with an Inside Server

Figure 4-16 NAT Example 2

In this case, you do exactly as above (use the convenient pre-configured SUA Only set) and also go to menu

15.2 to specify the Inside Server behind the NAT as shown later.

4.4.3 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).

4-20 NAT

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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:

Figure 4-17 NAT Example 3

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 4-18.

Step 1. Then enter 15 from the main menu.

Step 2. Enter 1 to configure the Address Mapping Sets.

Step 3. 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 4. 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 4-19).

Step 5. Repeat the previous step for rules 2 to 4 as outlined above.

Step 6. When finished, menu 15.1.1 should look like as shown in Figure 4-20.

4.4.4 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 this mapping type. The

following figure illustrates this.

4-24 NAT

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Figure 4-22 NAT Example 4

Other applications, for example, gaming programs are NAT unfriendly because

they embed addressing information in the data stream. These applications still

won’t work through NAT even when using One-to-One and Many One-to-One

mapping types.

Follow the steps outlined in example 3 above to configure these two menus as follows.

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 Menu 11.1

Remote Node Profile, Menu 11.3 - Remote Node Network Layer Options and Menu 11.5 - Remote Node

Filter.

5.1 Remote Node Profile

From the main menu, select option 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.

See Chapter 10 for information on the “Traffic Redirect” feature.

5.1.1 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.

5-4 Remote Node Setup

Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

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.

5.1.3 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.

For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access

control systems (e.g., 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 LANs’ computers will have access.

Enable PPPoE in menu 11.1 by pressing the [SPACE BAR] to select PPPoE in the Encapsulation field.
