Each group performs as an independent network. To use this feature, you must create mapping groups with appropriate LAN and WAN interfaces using the Add button. The Remove button removes mapping groups, returning the ungrouped interfaces to the Default group. Only the default group has an IP interface. To add an Interface Group, click the Add button. The following screen will appear. It lists the available and grouped interfaces. Follow the instructions shown onscreen. 104 105 Automatically Add Clients With Following DHCP Vendor IDs:
Add support to automatically map LAN interfaces to PVC's using DHCP vendor ID
(option 60). The local DHCP server will decline and send the requests to a remote DHCP server by mapping the appropriate LAN interface. This will be turned on when Interface Grouping is enabled. For example, imagine there are 4 PVCs (0/33, 0/36, 0/37, 0/38). VPI/VCI=0/33 is for PPPoE while the other PVCs are for IP set-top box (video). The LAN interfaces are ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4. The Interface Grouping configuration will be:
1. Default: ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4. 2. Video: nas_0_36, nas_0_37, and nas_0_38. The DHCP vendor ID is "Video". If the onboard DHCP server is running on "Default" and the remote DHCP server is running on PVC 0/36 (i.e. for set-top box use only). LAN side clients can get IP addresses from the CPE's DHCP server and access the Internet via PPPoE (0/33). If a set-top box is connected to ETH1 and sends a DHCP request with vendor ID
"Video", the local DHCP server will forward this request to the remote DHCP server. The Interface Grouping configuration will automatically change to the following:
1. Default: ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4 2. Video: nas_0_36, nas_0_37, nas_0_38, and ETH1. 106 6.8 IP Tunnel 6.8.1 IPv6inIPv4 Configure 6in4 tunneling to encapsulate IPv6 traffic over explicitly-configured IPv4 links.

This is in contrast to static packet filtering which only examines a packet based on the information in the packet header. DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK Is an incident in which a user or organization is deprived of the services of a resource they would normally expect to have. Various DoS attacks the device can withstand are ARP Attack, Ping Attack, Ping of Death, Land, SYN Attack, Smurf Attack, and Tear Drop. TCP/IP/PORT/INTERFACE FILTER These rules help in the filtering of traffic at the Network layer (i.e. Layer 3). When a Routing interface is created, Enable Firewall must be checked. Navigate to Advanced Setup Security IP Filtering. OUTGOING IP FILTER Helps in setting rules to DROP packets from the LAN interface. By default, if the Firewall is Enabled, all IP traffic from the LAN is allowed. By setting up one or more filters, specific packet types coming from the LAN can be dropped. Example 1: Filter Name Protocol Source IP address Source Subnet Mask Source Port Dest. IP Address Dest. Subnet Mask Dest. Port
: Out_Filter1
: TCP
: 192.168.1.45
: 255.255.255.0
: 80
: NA
: NA
: NA This filter will Drop all TCP packets coming from the LAN with IP Address/Subnet Mask of 192.168.1.45/24 having a source port of 80 irrespective of the destination. All other packets will be Accepted. Example 2: Filter Name Protocol Source IP Address Source Subnet Mask Source Port Dest. IP Address Dest. Subnet Mask Dest. Port

: 5060:6060
: 172.16.13.4
: 255.255.255.0
: 6060:7070 This filter will drop all UDP packets coming from the LAN with IP Address /
Subnet Mask of 192.168.1.45/24 and a source port range of 5060 to 6060, destined to 172.16.13.4/24 and a destination port range of 6060 to 7070. INCOMING IP FILTER Helps in setting rules to Allow or Deny packets from the WAN interface. By default, all incoming IP traffic from the WAN is Blocked, if the Firewall is Enabled. By setting up one or more filters, specific packet types coming from the WAN can be Accepted. 158 Example 1: Filter Name
: In_Filter1

: 6060:7070 This rule will ACCEPT all UDP packets coming from WAN interface br0 with IP Address/Subnet Mask 210.168.219.45/16 and a source port in the range of 5060 to 6060, destined to 192.168.1.45/24 and a destination port in the range of 6060 to 7070. All other incoming packets on this interface are DROPPED. MAC LAYER FILTER These rules help in the filtering of Layer 2 traffic. MAC Filtering is only effective in WDS mode. After a WDS mode connection is created, navigate to Advanced Setup Security MAC Filtering in the WUI. Example 1: Global Policy Protocol Type Dest. MAC Address Source MAC Address Src. Interface Dest. Interface

ENABLE IPv6 UNNUMBERED MODEL The IP unnumbered configuration command allows you to enable IP processing on a serial interface without assigning it an explicit IP address. The IP unnumbered interface can "borrow" the IP address of another interface already configured on the router, which conserves network and address space. 208 Number Resources Protocol Assignments LAUNCH DHCP6C FOR ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT (IANA) The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is a department of ICANN responsible for coordinating some of the key elements that keep the Internet running smoothly. Whilst the Internet is renowned for being a worldwide network free from central coordination, there is a technical need for some key parts of the Internet to be globally coordinated, and this coordination role is undertaken by IANA. Specifically, IANA allocates and maintains unique codes and numbering systems that are used in the technical standards (protocols) that drive the Internet. IANAs various activities can be broadly grouped in to three categories:
Domain Names IANA manages the DNS Root, the .int and .arpa domains, and an IDN practices resource. IANA coordinates the global pool of IP and AS numbers, providing them to Regional Internet Registries. Internet protocols numbering systems are managed by IANA in conjunction with standards bodies. LAUNCH DHCP6C FOR PREFIX DELEGATION (IAPD) An Identity Association for Prefix Delegation (IAPD) is a collection of prefixes assigned to a requesting device. A requesting device may have more than one IAPD;
for example, one for each of its interfaces. A prefix-delegating router (DHCPv6 server) selects prefixes to be assigned to a requesting router (DHCPv6 client) upon receiving a request from the client. The server can select prefixes for a requesting client by using static and dynamic assignment mechanisms. Administrators can manually configure a list of prefixes and associated preferred and valid lifetimes for an IAPD of a specific client that is identified by its DUID. When the delegating router receives a request from a client, it checks if there is a static binding configured for the IAPD in the clients message. If a static binding is present, the prefixes in the binding are returned to the client. If no such binding is found, the server attempts to assign prefixes for the client from other sources. An IPv6 prefix delegating router can also select prefixes for a requesting router based on an external authority such as a RADIUS server using the Framed-IPv6-Prefix attribute. LAUNCH DHCP6C FOR RAPID COMMIT Rapid-Commit; is the process (option) in which a Requesting Router (DHCP Client) obtains "configurable information" (configurable parameters) from a Delegating Router (DHCP Server) by using a rapid DHCPv6 two-message exchange. The messages that are exchanged between the two routers (RR and DR) are called the DHCPv6 "SOLICIT" message and the DHCPv6 "REPLY" message. FIXED MTU Maximum Transmission Unit. The size (in bytes) of largest protocol data unit which the layer can pass onwards. This value is 1492 for PPPoE. ENABLE PPP MANUAL MODE Use this button to manually connect/disconnect PPP sessions. ENABLE PPP DEBUG MODE When this option is selected, the system will put more PPP connection information into the system log. This is for debugging errors and not for normal usage. 209 WDS PPPOE FRAMES BETWEEN WAN AND LOCAL PORTS
(This option is hidden when PPP IP Extension is enabled) When Enabled, this creates local PPPoE connections to the WAN side. Enable this option only if all LAN-side devices are running PPPoE clients, otherwise disable it. The VR-3071 supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the LAN side while simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE LAN devices. ENABLE MLD MULTICAST PROXY Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) is a component of the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) suite. MLD is used by IPv6 routers for discovering multicast listeners on a directly attached link, much like IGMP is used in IPv4. The protocol is embedded in ICMPv6 instead of using a separate protocol. ENABLE MLD MULTICAST SOURCE Click to allow use of this WAN interface as Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) multicast source. STEP 3: Choose an interface to be the default gateway. Also, select a preferred WAN interface as the system default IPv6 gateway (from the drop-down box). Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step. STEP 4: Select DNS Server Interface from available WAN interfaces OR enter static DNS server IP addresses for the system. In ATM mode, if only a single PVC with IPoA or static IPoE protocol is configured, Static DNS server IP addresses must be entered. 210 Select the configured WAN interface for IPv6 DNS server information OR enter the static IPv6 DNS server Addresses. Note that selecting a WAN interface for IPv6 DNS server will enable DHCPv6 Client on that interface. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step. STEP 5: The WAN Setup - Summary screen shows a preview of the WAN service you have configured. Check these settings and click Apply/Save if they are correct, or click Back to modify them. 211 After clicking Apply/Save, the new service should appear on the main screen. 212 F2.7 IP over ETHERNET (IPoE) IPv6 STEP 1: Select the IP over Ethernet radio button and click Next. Then select IPv6 only from the drop-down box at the bottom off the screen and click Next. 213 STEP 2: The WAN IP settings screen provides access to the DHCP server settings. You can select the Obtain an IPv6 address automatically radio button to enable DHCP (use the DHCP Options only if necessary). However, if you prefer, you can use the Static IPv6 address method instead to assign WAN IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway manually. Enter information provided to you by your ISP to configure the WAN IPv6 settings. Notice: If Obtain an IPv6 address automatically is chosen, DHCP client will be enabled on this WAN interface. If Use the following Static IPv6 address is chosen, enter the static WAN IPv6 address. If the address prefix length is not specified, it will be default to /64. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step. 214 Number Resources Protocol Assignments DHCP6C FOR ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT (IANA) The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is a department of ICANN responsible for coordinating some of the key elements that keep the Internet running smoothly. Whilst the Internet is renowned for being a worldwide network free from central coordination, there is a technical need for some key parts of the Internet to be globally coordinated, and this coordination role is undertaken by IANA. Specifically, IANA allocates and maintains unique codes and numbering systems that are used in the technical standards (protocols) that drive the Internet. IANAs various activities can be broadly grouped in to three categories:
Domain Names IANA manages the DNS Root, the .int and .arpa domains, and an IDN practices resource. IANA coordinates the global pool of IP and AS numbers, providing them to Regional Internet Registries. Internet protocols numbering systems are managed by IANA in conjunction with standards bodies. DHCP6C FOR PREFIX DELEGATION (IAPD) An Identity Association for Prefix Delegation (IAPD) is a collection of prefixes assigned to a requesting device. A requesting device may have more than one IAPD;
for example, one for each of its interfaces. A prefix-delegating router (DHCPv6 server) selects prefixes to be assigned to a requesting router (DHCPv6 client) upon receiving a request from the client. The server can select prefixes for a requesting client by using static and dynamic assignment mechanisms. Administrators can manually configure a list of prefixes and associated preferred and valid lifetimes for an IAPD of a specific client that is identified by its DUID. When the delegating router receives a request from a client, it checks if there is a static binding configured for the IAPD in the clients message. If a static binding is present, the prefixes in the binding are returned to the client. If no such binding is found, the server attempts to assign prefixes for the client from other sources. An IPv6 prefix delegating router can also select prefixes for a requesting router based on an external authority such as a RADIUS server using the Framed-IPv6-Prefix attribute. WAN NEXT-HOP IPv6 ADDRESS Specify the Next-Hop IPv6 address for this WAN interface. This address can be either a link local or a global unicast IPv6 address. 215 STEP 3: This screen provides access to NAT, Firewall and IGMP Multicast settings. Enable each by selecting the appropriate checkbox . Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step. ENABLE NAT If the LAN is configured with a private IP address, the user should select this checkbox . The NAT submenu will appear in the Advanced Setup menu after reboot. On the other hand, if a private IP address is not used on the LAN side (i.e. the LAN side is using a public IP), this checkbox should not be selected, so as to free up system resources for improved performance. ENABLE FIREWALL If this checkbox is selected, the Security submenu will be displayed on the Advanced Setup menu after reboot. If firewall is not necessary, this checkbox should not be selected so as to free up system resources for better performance. ENABLE MLD MULTICAST PROXY Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) is a component of the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) suite. MLD is used by IPv6 routers for discovering multicast listeners on a directly attached link, much like IGMP is used in IPv4. The protocol is embedded in ICMPv6 instead of using a separate protocol. ENABLE MLD MULTICAST SOURCE Click to allow use of this WAN interface as Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) multicast source. Enable WAN interface with base MAC Enable this option to use the routers base MAC address as the MAC address for this WAN interface. 216 STEP 4: To choose an interface to be the default gateway. Also, select a preferred WAN interface as the system default IPv6 gateway (from the drop-down box). Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step. 217 STEP 5: Select DNS Server Interface from available WAN interfaces OR enter static DNS server IP addresses for the system. In ATM mode, if only a single PVC with IPoA or static IPoE protocol is configured, Static DNS server IP addresses must be entered. Select the configured WAN interface for IPv6 DNS server information OR enter the static IPv6 DNS server Addresses. Note that selecting a WAN interface for IPv6 DNS server will enable DHCPv6 Client on that interface. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step. 218 STEP 6: The WAN Setup - Summary screen shows a preview of the WAN service you have configured. Check these settings and click Apply/Save if they are correct, or click Back to modify them. After clicking Apply/Save, the new service should appear on the main screen. 219 F2.8 PPP over ATM (PPPoA) IPv6 STEP 1: Select IPv6 Only from the drop-down box at the bottom of this screen and click Next. 220 STEP 2: On the next screen, enter the PPP settings as provided by your ISP. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step. PPP SETTINGS The PPP username and password are dependent on the requirements of the ISP. The user name can be a maximum of 256 characters and the password a maximum of 32 characters in length. (Authentication Method: AUTO, PAP, CHAP, or MSCHAP.) 221 CONFIGURE KEEP-ALIVE Configures the interval and number of keep alive packets (PPP echo-request) sent by the device for the PPP connection. Interval (second): Time between sending out each PPP echo-request packet. Number of retries: Number of retries before PPP connection is dropped. ENABLE FULLCONE NAT This option becomes available when NAT is enabled. Known as one-to-one NAT, all requests from the same internal IP address and port are mapped to the same external IP address and port. An external host can send a packet to the internal host, by sending a packet to the mapped external address. DIAL ON DEMAND The VR-3071 can be configured to disconnect if there is no activity for a period of time by selecting the Dial on demand checkbox . You must also enter an inactivity timeout period in the range of 1 to 4320 minutes. ENABLE FIREWALL If this checkbox is selected, the Security submenu will be displayed on the Advanced Setup menu after reboot. If firewall is not necessary, this checkbox should not be selected to free up system resources for better performance. USE STATIC IPv4 ADDRESS Unless your service provider specially requires it, do not select this checkbox . If selected, enter the static IP address in the IP Address field. Also, dont forget to adjust the IP configuration to Static IP Mode as described in 3.2 IP Configuration. USE STATIC IPv6 ADDRESS Unless your service provider specially requires it, do not select this checkbox . If selected, enter the static IP address in the IPv6 Address field. Dont forget to adjust the IP configuration to Static IP Mode as described in section 3.2 IP Configuration. ENABLE IPv6 UNNUMBERED MODEL The IP unnumbered configuration command allows you to enable IP processing on a serial interface without assigning it an explicit IP address. The IP unnumbered interface can "borrow" the IP address of another interface already configured on the router, which conserves network and address space.

An IPv6 prefix delegating router can also select prefixes for a requesting router based on an external authority such as a RADIUS server using the Framed-IPv6-Prefix attribute. LAUNCH DHCP6C FOR RAPID COMMIT Rapid-Commit; is the process (option) in which a Requesting Router (DHCP Client) obtains "configurable information" (configurable parameters) from a Delegating Router (DHCP Server) by using a rapid DHCPv6 two-message exchange. The messages that are exchanged between the two routers (RR and DR) are called the DHCPv6 "SOLICIT" message and the DHCPv6 "REPLY" message. FIXED MTU Fixed Maximum Transmission Unit. The size (in bytes) of largest protocol data unit which the layer can pass onwards. This value is 1500 for PPPoA. ENABLE PPP MANUAL MODE Use this button to manually connect/disconnect PPP sessions. ENABLE PPP DEBUG MODE When this option is selected, the system will put more PPP connection information into the system log. This is for debugging errors and not for normal usage.
