to Know Your NBG334W (29) Introducing the Web Configurator (33) Connection Wizard (45) AP Mode (61) 27 28 1 CHAPTER Getting to Know Your NBG334W This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the NBG334W. 1.1 Overview The NBG334W acts as either an access point (AP) or a secure broadband router for all data passing between the Internet and your local network. In both AP and Router Mode you can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11b/g compatible devices. In Router Mode a number of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available. You can use media bandwidth management to efficiently manage traffic on your network. Bandwidth management features allow you to prioritize time-sensitive or highly important applications such as Voice over the Internet (VoIP). 1.2 AP Mode Select AP Mode if you already have a router or gateway on your network which provides network services such as a firewall or bandwidth management. The following figure shows computers in a WLAN connecting to the NBG334W, which acts as an access point (A). The NBG334W allows the wireless computers to share the same Internet access as the other computers connected to the router (B) on the same network. Figure 1 Wireless Internet Access in AP Mode A B NBG334W Users Guide 29 Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NBG334W 1.3 Router Mode Select Router Mode if you need to route traffic between your network and another network such as the Internet, and require important network services such as a firewall or bandwidth management. The following figure shows computers in a WLAN connecting to the NBG334W (A), which has a DSL connection to the Internet. The NBG334W is set to Router Mode and has router features such as a built-in firewall (B). Figure 2 Secure Wireless Internet Access in Router Mode A B 1.4 Router Features vs. AP Features ROUTER MODE AP MODE YES NO The following table shows which features are available in Router or AP Mode. Table 1 Features Available in Router Mode vs. AP Mode FEATURE DHCP This allows individual clients to obtain IP addresses at start-

up from a DHCP server. Firewall This establishes a network security barrier, protecting your network from attacks and controlling access between your network and the Internet. Bandwidth Management This allows you to allocate network bandwidth to specific applications and or subnets. Any IP This allows a computer to access the NBG334W when the IP addresses of the computer and the NBG334W are not in the same subnet.) Wireless This allows two or more devices to communicate without wires, based on IEEE 802.11 wireless standards. YES YES YES YES YES NO NO NO 30 NBG334W Users Guide Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NBG334W 1.5 Ways to Manage the NBG334W Use any of the following methods to manage the NBG334W. Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the NBG334W using a (supported) web browser. Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service engineers. FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. 1.6 Good Habits for Managing the NBG334W Do the following things regularly to make the NBG334W more secure and to manage the NBG334W more effectively. Change the password. Use a password thats not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters. Write down the password and put it in a safe place. Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the NBG334W to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG334W. You could simply restore your last configuration. 1.7 LEDs Figure 3 Front Panel The following table describes the LEDs.

This function is currently unavailable. 32 NBG334W Users Guide CHAPTER 2 Introducing the Web Configurator This chapter describes how to access the NBG334W web configurator and provides an overview of its screens. 2.1 Web Configurator Overview The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and management of the NBG334W via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions or Safari 2.0 or later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels. In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:

Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2. JavaScripts (enabled by default). Java permissions (enabled by default). Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter to see how to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet Explorer. 2.2 Accessing the Web Configurator 1 Make sure your NBG334W hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer or computer network to connect to the NBG334W (refer to the Quick Start Guide). 2 Launch your web browser. 3 Type "http://192.168.1.1" as the website address. Your computer must be in the same subnet in order to access this website address. In Router Mode enable the DHCP Server. The NBG334W assigns your computer an IP address on the same subnet. In AP Mode the NBG334W does not assign an IP address to your computer, so you should check its in the same subnet. See Section 4.5 on page 66 for more information. NBG334W Users Guide 33 Chapter 2 Introducing the Web Configurator 4 Type "1234" (default) as the password and click Login. In some versions, the default password appears automatically - if this is the case, click Login. 5 You should see a screen asking you to change your password (highly recommended) as shown next. Type a new password (and retype it to confirm) and click Apply or click Ignore. Figure 4 Change Password Screen

The management session automatically times out when the time period set in the Administrator Inactivity Timer field expires (default five minutes). Simply log back into the NBG334W if this happens. 6 Select the setup mode you want to use. Click Go to Wizard Setup to use the Configuration Wizard for basic Internet and Wireless setup. Click Go to Basic Setup if you want to view and configure basic settings that are not part of the wizard setup. Not all Web Configurator screens are available in this mode.

PPTP 3.4.1 Ethernet Connection Choose Ethernet when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet. Figure 19 Wizard Step 3: Ethernet Connection 3.4.2 PPPoE Connection Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks. For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS). NBG334W Users Guide 51 Chapter 3 Connection Wizard 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 subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscribers site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG334W (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG334W does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access. Refer to the appendix for more information on PPPoE.

Click Exit to close the wizard screen without saving. Use fixed IP address provided by your ISP Back Next Exit 3.4.5 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 without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority

(IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks. Table 17 Private IP Address Ranges 10.0.0.0 172.16.0.0 192.168.0.0 10.255.255.255 172.31.255.255 192.168.255.255

54 NBG334W Users Guide Chapter 3 Connection Wizard You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by a private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.

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

always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment, please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space. 3.4.6 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. 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 computer 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 NBG334W, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your NBG334W 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 NBG334W unless you are instructed to do otherwise. 3.4.7 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. The NBG334W can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways. 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 the Wizard and/or WAN > Internet Connection screen. NBG334W Users Guide 55 Chapter 3 Connection Wizard 2 If the ISP did not give you DNS server information, leave the DNS Server fields set to 0.0.0.0 in the Wizard screen and/or set to From ISP in the WAN > Internet Connection screen for the ISP to dynamically assign the DNS server IP addresses. 3.4.8 WAN IP and DNS Server Address Assignment The following wizard screen allows you to assign a fixed WAN IP address and DNS server addresses. Figure 23 Wizard Step 3: WAN IP and DNS Server Addresses The following table describes the labels in this screen Table 18 Wizard Step 3: WAN IP and DNS Server Addresses LABEL WAN IP Address Assignment My WAN IP Address DESCRIPTION Enter your WAN IP address in this field. The WAN IP address should be in the same subnet as your DSL/Cable modem or router. Enter the gateway IP address in this field. My WAN IP Subnet Mask Enter the IP subnet mask in this field. Gateway IP Address System DNS Server Address Assignment (if applicable) DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The NBG334W uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for DDNS and the time server. First DNS Server Second DNS Server Third DNS Server Back Next Exit Enter the DNS server's IP address in the fields provided. If you do not configure a system DNS server, you must use IP addresses when configuring DDNS and the time server. Click Back to return to the previous screen. Click Next to continue. Click Exit to close the wizard screen without saving. 56 NBG334W Users Guide 3.4.9 WAN MAC Address Chapter 3 Connection Wizard Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address.

Figure 32 Network > LAN > IP The table below describes the labels in the screen. NBG334W Users Guide 65 Chapter 4 AP Mode Table 24 Network > LAN > IP LABEL Get form DHCP Server DESCRIPTION Select this option to allow the NBG334W to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. You must connect the WAN port to a device with a DHCP server enabled (such as a router or gateway). Without a DHCP server the NBG334W will have no IP address. You need to find out the IP address the DHCP server assigns to the NBG334W and use that address to log in to the NBG334W again. Select this option to set the NBG334Ws IP address. This setting is selected by default. Check the IP address is on the same domain as other devices on your network. Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.1. If you change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your NBG334W will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the NBG334W. Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your NBG334W that will forward the packet to the destination. In AP Mode, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your NBG334W. Click Apply to save your changes to the NBG334W. Click Reset to reload the previous configuration for this screen.

See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks. 5.1 Wireless Network Overview The following figure provides an example of a wireless network. Figure 33 Example of a Wireless Network The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your NBG334W is the AP. Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines. Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity. If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels. Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information. NBG334W Users Guide 69 Chapter 5 Wireless LAN Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP. Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Requirements To add a wireless LAN to your existing network, make sure you have the following:

1 an access point (AP) or a router with the wireless feature 2 at least one wireless network card/adapter which varies according to your computer. If you have a desktop, use either a wireless USB adapter or a wireless PCI adapter. If you have a laptop, use either a wireless USB adapter or a wireless CardBus card. 3 a RADIUS server only if you want to use IEEE802.1x, WPA or WPA2 To have two or more computers communicate with each other wirelessly without an AP or wireless router, make sure you have the following:

1 two or more wireless network cards/adapters which vary according to your computers. If you have a desktop, use either a wireless USB adapter or a wireless PCI adapter. If you have a laptop, use either a wireless USB adapter or a wireless CardBus card. Setup Information To set up your wireless network using an AP or wireless router, make sure your AP or wireless router and wireless network card(s)/adapter(s) use the same following settings:

SSID:_____________________ Channel: auto or _________ Network type of a wireless network card/adapter: Infrastructure wireless standard: IEEE 802.11b, g, b/g or a Security:

( ) WEP (64bit, 128bit or 256bit key) (ASCII or Hex):________________

( ) IEEE 802.1x

( ) WPA-PSK (TKIP or AES):_______________

( ) WPA (TKIP or AES)

( ) WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES):______________

( ) WPA2 (TKIP or AES) 70 NBG334W Users Guide Chapter 5 Wireless LAN Preamble type (if available): auto, short or long To set up your wireless network without an AP or wireless router, make sure wireless network cards/adapters use the same following settings:

Network type: Ad-Hoc SSID:_____________________ Channel: _________________ wireless standard: IEEE 802.11b, g, b/g or a Security:

( ) None

( ) WEP (64bit, 128bit or 256bit key) (ASCII or Hex):________________ 5.2 Wireless Security Overview The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network. 5.2.1 SSID Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess. This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network. 5.2.2 MAC Address Filter Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate Users Guide or other documentation. You can use the MAC address filter to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed or not allowed to use the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings. This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network. 1. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses. 2. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F. NBG334W Users Guide 71 Chapter 5 Wireless LAN 5.2.3 User Authentication You can make every user log in to the wireless network before they can use it. This is called user authentication. However, every wireless client in the wireless network has to support IEEE 802.1x to do this. For wireless networks, there are two typical places to store the user names and passwords for each user. In the AP: this feature is called a local user database or a local database. In a RADIUS server: this is a server used in businesses more than in homes. If your AP does not provide a local user database and if you do not have a RADIUS server, you cannot set up user names and passwords for your users. Unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network, even if they cannot use the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless users to get a valid user name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password to use the wireless network. Local user databases also have an additional limitation that is explained in the next section. 5.2.4 Encryption Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message. The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of user authentication. (See Section 5.2.3 on page 72 for information about this.) Table 25 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication Weakest NO AUTHENTICATION No Security Static WEP WPA-PSK Strongest WPA2-PSK RADIUS SERVER WPA WPA2 For example, if the wireless network has a RADIUS server, you can choose WPA or WPA2. If users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no encryption, Static WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless network supports. For example, suppose the AP does not have a local user database, and you do not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no user authentication. Suppose the wireless network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA. Therefore, you should set up Static WEP in the wireless network. 72 NBG334W Users Guide Chapter 5 Wireless LAN

It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly. It is not possible to use WPA-PSK, WPA or stronger encryption with a local user database. In this case, it is better to set up stronger encryption with no authentication than to set up weaker encryption with the local user database. When you select WPA2 or WPA2-PSK in your NBG334W, you can also select an option

(WPA Compatible) to support WPA as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (depending on the type of wireless network login) and select the WPA Compatible option in the NBG334W. Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key. 5.3 Roaming A wireless station is a device with an IEEE 802.11a/b/g compliant wireless interface. An access point (AP) acts as a bridge between the wireless and wired networks. An AP creates its own wireless coverage area. A wireless station can associate with a particular access point only if it is within the access points coverage area. In a network environment with multiple access points, wireless stations are able to switch from one access point to another as they move between the coverage areas. This is known as roaming. As the wireless station moves from place to place, it is responsible for choosing the most appropriate access point depending on the signal strength, network utilization or other factors. The roaming feature on the access points allows the access points to relay information about the wireless stations to each other. When a wireless station moves from a coverage area to another, it scans and uses the channel of a new access point, which then informs the other access points on the LAN about the change. An example is shown in Figure 34 on page 74. With roaming, a wireless LAN mobile user enjoys a continuous connection to the wired network through an access point while moving around the wireless LAN. Enable roaming to exchange the latest bridge information of all wireless stations between APs when a wireless station moves between coverage areas. Wireless stations can still associate with other APs even if you disable roaming. Enabling roaming ensures correct traffic forwarding (bridge tables are updated) and maximum AP efficiency. The AP deletes records of wireless stations that associate with other APs (Non-ZyXEL APs may not be able to perform this). 802.1x authentication information is not exchanged (at the time of writing). NBG334W Users Guide 73 Chapter 5 Wireless LAN Figure 34 Roaming Example The steps below describe the roaming process. 1 Wireless station Y moves from the coverage area of access point AP 1 to that of access point AP 2. 2 Wireless station Y scans and detects the signal of access point AP 2. 3 Wireless station Y sends an association request to access point AP 2. 4 Access point AP 2 acknowledges the presence of wireless station Y and relays this information to access point AP 1 through the wired LAN. 5 Access point AP 1 updates the new position of wireless station Y. 5.3.1 Requirements for Roaming The following requirements must be met in order for wireless stations to roam between the coverage areas. 1 All the access points must be on the same subnet and configured with the same ESSID. 2 If IEEE 802.1x user authentication is enabled and to be done locally on the access point, the new access point must have the user profile for the wireless station. 3 The adjacent access points should use different radio channels when their coverage areas overlap. 4 All access points must use the same port number to relay roaming information. 5 The access points must be connected to the Ethernet and be able to get IP addresses from a DHCP server if using dynamic IP address assignment. 5.4 Quality of Service This section discusses the Quality of Service (QoS) features available on the NBG334W. 74 NBG334W Users Guide Chapter 5 Wireless LAN 5.4.1 WMM QoS WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) ensures quality of service in wireless networks. It controls WLAN transmission priority on packets to be transmitted over the wireless network. WMM QoS prioritizes wireless traffic according to delivery requirements. WMM QoS is a part of the IEEE 802.11e QoS enhancement to certified Wi-Fi wireless networks. On APs without WMM QoS, all traffic streams are given the same access priority to the wireless network. If the introduction of another traffic stream creates a data transmission demand that exceeds the current network capacity, then the new traffic stream reduces the throughput of the other traffic streams. The NBG334W uses WMM QoS to prioritize traffic streams according to the IEEE 802.1q tag or DSCP information in each packets header. The NBG334W automatically determines the priority to use for an individual traffic stream. This prevents reductions in data transmission for applications that are sensitive to latency (delay) and jitter (variations in delay). 5.4.1.1 WMM QoS Priorities The following table describes the WMM QoS priority levels that the NBG334W uses. Table 26 WMM QoS Priorities PRIORITY LEVEL voice

(WMM_VOICE) video

(WMM_VIDEO) best effort

(WMM_BEST_EFFORT) DESCRIPTION Typically used for traffic that is especially sensitive to jitter. Use this priority to reduce latency for improved voice quality. Typically used for traffic which has some tolerance for jitter but needs to be prioritized over other data traffic. Typically used for traffic from applications or devices that lack QoS capabilities. Use best effort priority for traffic that is less sensitive to latency, but is affected by long delays, such as Internet surfing. This is typically used for non-critical traffic such as bulk transfers and print jobs that are allowed but that should not affect other applications and users. Use background priority for applications that do not have strict latency and throughput requirements. background

BSS Traffic DESCRIPTION A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients or between a wireless client and a wired network client go through one access point

(AP). Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled, wireless client A and B can access the wired network and communicate with each other. When Intra-BSS is disabled, wireless client A and B can still access the wired network but cannot communicate with each other. Set the output power of the NBG334W in this field. If there is a high density of APs within an area, decrease the output power of the NBG334W to reduce interference with other APs.

Choose Factory Default to select the factory assigned default MAC Address. Otherwise, click Clone the computer's MAC address - IP Address and enter the IP address of the computer on the LAN whose MAC you are cloning. 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. It is recommended that you clone the MAC address prior to hooking up the WAN Port. 7.3 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 network-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. NBG334W Users Guide 93 Chapter 7 WAN The NBG334W supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up, the NBG334W queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the NBG334W periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the NBG334W LAN and/or WAN interfaces in the web configurator (LAN; WAN). Select None to disable IP multicasting on these interfaces. 7.4 Internet Connection Use this screen to change your NBG334Ws Internet access settings. Click Network > WAN.

Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh. 7.4.2 PPPoE Encapsulation The NBG334W supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPP over Ethernet option is for a dial-

up connection using PPPoE. NBG334W Users Guide 95 Chapter 7 WAN For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for example Radius). One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you 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 individuals. Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG334W (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG334W does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs computers will have access. This screen displays when you select PPPoE encapsulation.

Allow Trigger Dial Apply Reset 102 NBG334W Users Guide CHAPTER 8 LAN This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings. 8.1 LAN Overview A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server, manage IP addresses, and partition your physical network into logical networks. 8.1.1 IP Pool Setup The NBG334W 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 NBG334W itself) in the lower range (192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.32) for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have. 8.1.2 System DNS Servers Refer to the IP address and subnet mask section in the Connection Wizard chapter. 8.2 LAN TCP/IP The NBG334W has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability. 8.2.1 Factory LAN Defaults The LAN parameters of the NBG334W are preset in the factory with the following values:

IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits) 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. NBG334W Users Guide 103 Chapter 8 LAN 8.2.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask Refer to the IP address and subnet mask section in the Connection Wizard chapter for this information. 8.2.3 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 Management Protocol) is a network-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 NBG334W supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up, the NBG334W queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the NBG334W periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the NBG334W LAN and/or WAN interfaces in the web configurator (LAN; WAN). Select None to disable IP multicasting on these interfaces. 8.2.4 Any IP Traditionally, you must set the IP addresses and the subnet masks of a computer and the NBG334W to be in the same subnet to allow the computer to access the Internet (through the NBG334W). In cases where your computer is required to use a static IP address in another network, you may need to manually configure the network settings of the computer every time you want to access the Internet via the NBG334W. With the Any IP feature and NAT enabled, the NBG334W allows a computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and the NBG334W are not in the same subnet. Whether a computer is set to use a dynamic or static (fixed) IP address, you can simply connect the computer to the NBG334W and access the Internet. The following figure depicts a scenario where a computer is set to use a static private IP address in the corporate environment. In a residential house where a NBG334W is installed, you can still use the computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the NBG334W are not in the same subnet. 104 NBG334W Users Guide Figure 55 Any IP Example Chapter 8 LAN The Any IP feature does not apply to a computer using either a dynamic IP address or a static IP address that is in the same subnet as the NBG334Ws IP address.

You must enable NAT to use the Any IP feature on the NBG334W. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC address, on the local area network. IP routing table is defined on IP Ethernet devices (the NBG334W) to decide which hop to use, to help forward data along to its specified destination. The following lists out the steps taken, when a computer tries to access the Internet for the first time through the NBG334W. 1 When a computer (which is in a different subnet) first attempts to access the Internet, it sends packets to its default gateway (which is not the NBG334W) by looking at the MAC address in its ARP table. 2 When the computer cannot locate the default gateway, an ARP request is broadcast on the LAN. address. 3 The NBG334W receives the ARP request and replies to the computer with its own MAC 4 The computer updates the MAC address for the default gateway to the ARP table. Once the ARP table is updated, the computer is able to access the Internet through the NBG334W. 5 When the NBG334W receives packets from the computer, it creates an entry in the IP routing table so it can properly forward packets intended for the computer. After all the routing information is updated, the computer can access the NBG334W and the Internet as if it is in the same subnet as the NBG334W.

(NAT) This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the NBG334W. 10.1 NAT Overview NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. For example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network is changed to a different IP address known within another network. 10.2 Using NAT

You must create a firewall rule in addition to setting up NAT, to allow traffic from the WAN to be forwarded through the NBG334W. 10.2.1 Port Forwarding: Services and Port Numbers A port forwarding set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world. Use the Application screen 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. 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. NBG334W Users Guide 113 Chapter 10 Network Address Translation (NAT)

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. 10.2.2 Configuring Servers Behind Port Forwarding Example Let's say you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet Figure 62 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example 10.3 General NAT Screen Click Network > NAT to open the General screen.

Select the check box to enable NAT. Default Server Setup Default Server Apply Reset In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A default server receives packets from ports that are not specified in the Application screen.

With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service (coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN). The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address. In order to use the same service on a different LAN computer, you have to manually replace the LAN computer's IP address in the forwarding port with another LAN computer's IP address. Trigger port forwarding solves this problem by allowing computers on the LAN to dynamically take turns using the service. The NBG334W records the IP address of a LAN computer that sends traffic to the WAN to request a service with a specific port number and protocol (a "trigger" port). When the NBG334W's WAN port receives a response with a specific port number and protocol ("incoming" port), the NBG334W forwards the traffic to the LAN IP address of the computer that sent the request. After that computers connection for that service closes, another computer on the LAN can use the service in the same manner. This way you do not need to configure a new IP address each time you want a different LAN computer to use the application. 10.5.1 Trigger Port Forwarding Example The following is an example of trigger port forwarding. 118 NBG334W Users Guide Chapter 10 Network Address Translation (NAT) Figure 66 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 NBG334W to record Janes computer IP address. The NBG334W 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 The NBG334W forwards the traffic to Janes computer IP address. 5 Only Jane can connect to the Real Audio server until the connection is closed or times out. The NBG334W times out in three minutes with UDP (User Datagram Protocol), or two hours with TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). 10.5.2 Two Points To Remember About Trigger Ports 1 Trigger events only happen on data that is going coming from inside the NBG334W 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 cant trigger it. 10.6 NAT Advanced Screen To change your NBG334Ws trigger port settings, click Network > NAT > Advanced. The screen appears as shown.

Table 48 Network > NAT > Advanced LABEL Max NAT/Firewall Session Per User DESCRIPTION Type a number ranging from 1 to 2048 to limit the number of NAT/firewall sessions that a host can create. When computers use peer to peer applications, such as file sharing applications, they may use a large number of NAT sessions. If you do not limit the number of NAT sessions a single client can establish, this can result in all of the available NAT sessions being used. In this case, no additional NAT sessions can be established, and users may not be able to access the Internet. Each NAT session establishes a corresponding firewall session. Use this field to limit the number of NAT/firewall sessions each client computer can establish through the NBG334W. If your network has a small number of clients using peer to peer applications, you can raise this number to ensure that their performance is not degraded by the number of NAT sessions they can establish. If your network has a large number of users using peer to peer applications, you can lower this number to ensure no single client is using all of the available NAT sessions. Port Triggering Rules

You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a domain name (for instance myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) that 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 domain name. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key. 11.1.1 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.

Originally, the term firewall referred to a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of fire from one room to another. The networking term "firewall" is a system or group of systems that enforces an access-control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism used to protect a trusted network from a network that is not trusted. Of course, firewalls cannot solve every security problem. A firewall is one of the mechanisms used to establish a network security perimeter in support of a network security policy. It should never be the only mechanism or method employed. For a firewall to guard effectively, you must design and deploy it appropriately. This requires integrating the firewall into a broad information-security policy. In addition, specific policies must be implemented within the firewall itself. 12.1.2 Stateful Inspection Firewall Stateful inspection firewalls restrict access by screening data packets against defined access rules. They make access control decisions based on IP address and protocol. They also

"inspect" the session data to assure the integrity of the connection and to adapt to dynamic protocols. These firewalls generally provide the best speed and transparency; however, they may lack the granular application level access control or caching that some proxies support. Firewalls, of one type or another, have become an integral part of standard security solutions for enterprises. 12.1.3 About the NBG334W Firewall The NBG334W firewall is a stateful inspection firewall and is designed to protect against Denial of Service attacks when activated (click the General tab under Firewall and then click the Enable Firewall check box). The NBG334W's purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be securely connected to the Internet. The NBG334W can be used to prevent theft, destruction and modification of data, as well as log events, which may be important to the security of your network. NBG334W Users Guide 127 Chapter 12 Firewall The NBG334W is installed between the LAN and a broadband modem connecting to the Internet. This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN. The NBG334W has one Ethernet WAN port and four Ethernet LAN ports, which are used to physically separate the network into two areas.The WAN (Wide Area Network) port attaches to the broadband (cable or DSL) modem to the Internet. The LAN (Local Area Network) port attaches to a network of computers, which needs security from the outside world. These computers will have access to Internet services such as e-mail, FTP and the World Wide Web. However, "inbound access" is not allowed (by default) unless the remote host is authorized to use a specific service. 12.1.4 Guidelines For Enhancing Security With Your Firewall 1 Change the default password via web configurator. 2 Think about access control before you connect to the network in any way, including attaching a modem to the port. 3 Limit who can access your router. 4 Don't enable any local service (such as SNMP or NTP) that you don't use. Any enabled service could present a potential security risk. A determined hacker might be able to find creative ways to misuse the enabled services to access the firewall or the network. 5 For local services that are enabled, protect against misuse. Protect by configuring the services to communicate only with specific peers, and protect by configuring rules to block packets for the services at specific interfaces. 6 Protect against IP spoofing by making sure the firewall is active. 7 Keep the firewall in a secured (locked) room. 12.2 Triangle Routes If an alternate gateway on the LAN has an IP address in the same subnet as the NBG334Ws LAN IP address, return traffic may not go through the NBG334W. This is called an asymmetrical or triangle route. This causes the NBG334W to reset the connection, as the connection has not been acknowledged. You can have the NBG334W permit the use of asymmetrical route topology on the network

(not reset the connection). Allowing asymmetrical routes may let traffic from the WAN go directly to the LAN without passing through the NBG334W. A better solution is to use IP alias to put the NBG334W and the backup gateway on separate subnets. 12.2.1 Triangle Routes and IP Alias You can use IP alias instead of allowing triangle routes. IP Alias allow you to partition your network into logical sections over the same interface. By putting your LAN and Gateway A in different subnets, all returning network traffic must pass through the NBG334W to your LAN. The following steps describe such a scenario. 128 NBG334W Users Guide Chapter 12 Firewall 1 A computer on the LAN initiates a connection by sending a SYN packet to a receiving server on the WAN. 2 The NBG334W reroutes the packet to Gateway A, which is in Subnet 2. 3 The reply from the WAN goes to the NBG334W. 4 The NBG334W then sends it to the computer on the LAN in Subnet 1.

You can also use this screen to enable service blocking, enter/delete/modify the services you want to block and the date/time you want to block them. 130 NBG334W Users Guide Figure 71 Security > Firewall > Services Chapter 12 Firewall The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 51 Security > Firewall > Services LABEL ICMP DESCRIPTION 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 directly apparent to the application user. The NBG334W will not respond to any incoming Ping requests when Disable is selected. Select LAN to reply to incoming LAN Ping requests. Select WAN to reply to incoming WAN Ping requests. Otherwise select LAN & WAN to reply to both incoming LAN and WAN Ping requests. Respond to Ping on NBG334W Users Guide 131 Chapter 12 Firewall Table 51 Security > Firewall > Services LABEL Do not respond to requests for unauthorized services DESCRIPTION Select this option to prevent hackers from finding the NBG334W by probing for unused ports. If you select this option, the NBG334W will not respond to port request(s) for unused ports, thus leaving the unused ports and the NBG334W unseen. By default this option is not selected and the NBG334W will reply with an ICMP Port Unreachable packet for a port probe on its unused UDP ports, and a TCP Reset packet for a port probe on its unused TCP ports. Note that the probing packets must first traverse the NBG334W's firewall mechanism before reaching this anti-probing mechanism. Therefore if the firewall mechanism blocks a probing packet, the NBG334W reacts based on the firewall policy, which by default, is to send a TCP reset packet for a blocked TCP packet. You can use the command "sys firewall tcprst rst [on|off]" to change this policy. When the firewall mechanism blocks a UDP packet, it drops the packet without sending a response packet.

See the appendices for information on how to access and use the command interpreter. 13.6.1 Domain Name or IP Address URL Checking By default, the NBG334W checks the URLs domain name or IP address when performing keyword blocking. This means that the NBG334W checks the characters that come before the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, content filtering only searches for keywords within www.zyxel.com.tw. 13.6.2 Full Path URL Checking Full path URL checking has the NBG334W check the characters that come before the last slash in the URL. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, full path URL checking searches for keywords within www.zyxel.com.tw/news/. Use the ip urlfilter customize actionFlags 6 [disable | enable]

command to extend (or not extend) the keyword blocking search to include the URL's full path. 13.6.3 File Name URL Checking Filename URL checking has the NBG334W check all of the characters in the URL. For example, filename URL checking searches for keywords within the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php. Use the ip urlfilter customize actionFlags 8 [disable | enable]

command to extend (or not extend) the keyword blocking search to include the URL's complete filename. 136 NBG334W Users Guide PART IV Management Static Route Screens (139) Bandwidth Management (143) Remote Management (153) Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) (159) 137 138 CHAPTER 14 Static Route Screens This chapter shows you how to configure static routes for your NBG334W. 14.1 Static Route Overview Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the NBG334W has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the NBG334W knows about network N2 in the following figure through remote node router R1. However, the NBG334W 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 R1 (via gateway router R2). The static routes are for you to tell the NBG334W about the networks beyond the remote nodes. Figure 74 Example of Static Routing Topology 14.2 IP Static Route Screen Click Management > Static Route to open the IP Static Route screen. The following screen displays. NBG334W Users Guide 139 Chapter 14 Static Route Screens Figure 75 Management > Static Route > IP Static Route The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 54 Management > Static Route > IP Static Route LABEL

Name Active Destination Gateway Modify DESCRIPTION This is the index number of an individual static route. The first entry is for the default route and not editable. This is the name that describes or identifies this route. This icon is turned on when this static route is active. Click the Edit icon under Modify and select the Active checkbox in the Static Route Setup screen to enable the static route. Clear the checkbox to disable this static route without having to delete the entry. This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is always based on network number. This is the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your NBG334W that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your NBG334W; over the WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes. Click the Edit icon to open the static route setup screen. Modify a static route or create a new static route in the Static Route Setup screen. Click the Remove icon to delete a static route. 14.2.1 Static Route Setup Screen To edit a static route, click the edit icon under Modify. The following screen displays. Fill in the required information for each static route. 140 NBG334W Users Guide Figure 76 Management > Static Route > IP Static Route: Static Route Setup Chapter 14 Static Route Screens The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 55 Management > Static Route > IP Static Route: Static Route Setup LABEL Route Name DESCRIPTION Enter the name of the IP static route. Leave this field blank to delete this static route. This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route. This parameter determines if the NBG334W will include this route to a remote node in its RIP broadcasts. Select this check box to keep this route private and not included in RIP broadcasts. Clear this checkbox to propagate this route to other hosts through RIP broadcasts. This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network number to be identical to the host ID. Enter the IP subnet mask here. Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your NBG334W that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your NBG334W; over the WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the Remote Nodes. Metric represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.

You can allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity

(bandwidth budgets) to different bandwidth rules. The NBG334W applies bandwidth management to traffic that it forwards out through an interface. The NBG334W does not control the bandwidth of traffic that comes into an interface. Bandwidth management applies to all traffic flowing out of the router, regardless of the traffic's source. Traffic redirect or IP alias may cause LAN-to-LAN traffic to pass through the NBG334W and be managed by bandwidth management. The sum of the bandwidth allotments that apply to the WAN interface (LAN to WAN, WLAN to WAN, WAN to WAN / NBG334W) must be less than or equal to the Upstream Bandwidth that you configure in the Bandwidth Management Advanced screen. The sum of the bandwidth allotments that apply to the LAN port (WAN to LAN, WLAN to LAN, LAN to LAN / NBG334W) must be less than or equal to 100,000 kbps (you cannot configure the bandwidth budget for the LAN port). The sum of the bandwidth allotments that apply to the WLAN port (LAN to WLAN, WAN to WLAN, WLAN to WLAN / NBG334W) must be less than or equal to 54,000 kbps (you cannot configure the bandwidth budget for the WLAN port). 15.2 Application-based Bandwidth Management You can create bandwidth classes based on individual applications (like VoIP, Web, FTP, E-

mail and Video for example). 15.3 Subnet-based Bandwidth Management You can create bandwidth classes based on subnets. NBG334W Users Guide 143 Chapter 15 Bandwidth Management The following figure shows LAN subnets. You could configure one bandwidth class for subnet A and another for subnet B. Figure 77 Subnet-based Bandwidth Management Example 15.4 Application and Subnet-based Bandwidth Management You could also create bandwidth classes based on a combination of a subnet and an application. The following example table shows bandwidth allocations for application specific traffic from separate LAN subnets. Table 56 Application and Subnet-based Bandwidth Management Example TRAFFIC TYPE VoIP Web FTP E-mail Video FROM SUBNET B 64 Kbps 64 Kbps 64 Kbps 64 Kbps 64 Kbps FROM SUBNET A 64 Kbps 64 Kbps 64 Kbps 64 Kbps 64 Kbps 15.5 Bandwidth Management Priorities The following table describes the priorities that you can apply to traffic that the NBG334W forwards out through an interface. Table 57 Bandwidth Management Priorities PRIORITY LEVELS: TRAFFIC WITH A HIGHER PRIORITY GETS THROUGH FASTER WHILE TRAFFIC WITH A LOWER PRIORITY IS DROPPED IF THE NETWORK IS CONGESTED. High Typically used for voice traffic or video that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter is the variations in delay). 144 NBG334W Users Guide Chapter 15 Bandwidth Management Table 57 Bandwidth Management Priorities PRIORITY LEVELS: TRAFFIC WITH A HIGHER PRIORITY GETS THROUGH FASTER WHILE TRAFFIC WITH A LOWER PRIORITY IS DROPPED IF THE NETWORK IS CONGESTED. Mid Typically used for excellent effort or better than best effort and would include important business traffic that can tolerate some delay. This is typically used for non-critical background traffic such as bulk transfers that are allowed but that should not affect other applications and users. Low 15.6 Predefined Bandwidth Management Services The following is a description of the services that you can select and to which you can apply media bandwidth management using the wizard screens. Table 58 Media Bandwidth Management Setup: Services SERVICE Xbox Live VoIP (SIP) FTP E-Mail BitTorrent MSN Webcam WWW DESCRIPTION This is Microsofts online gaming service that lets you play multiplayer Xbox games on the Internet via broadband technology. Xbox Live uses port 3074. Sending voice signals over the Internet is called Voice over IP or VoIP. Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) is an internationally recognized standard for implementing VoIP. SIP is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol that handles the setting up, altering and tearing down of voice and multimedia sessions over the Internet. SIP is transported primarily over UDP but can also be transported over TCP, using the default port number 5060. File Transfer Program enables fast transfer of files, including large files that may not be possible by e-mail. FTP uses port number 21. Electronic mail consists of messages sent through a computer network to specific groups or individuals. Here are some default ports for e-mail:

POP3 - port 110 IMAP - port 143 SMTP - port 25 HTTP - port 80 BitTorrent is a free P2P (peer-to-peer) sharing tool allowing you to distribute large software and media files using ports 6881 to 6889. BitTorrent requires you to search for a file with a searching engine yourself. It distributes files by corporation and trading, that is, the client downloads the file in small pieces and share the pieces with other peers to get other half of the file. MSN messenger allows you to chat online and send instant messages. If you use MSN messenger and also have a webcam, you can send your image/photo in real-time along with messages The World Wide Web (WWW) is an Internet system to distribute graphical, hyper-

linked information, based on Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) - a client/server protocol for the World Wide Web. The Web is not synonymous with the Internet;

rather, it is just one service on the Internet. Other services on the Internet include Internet Relay Chat and Newsgroups. The Web is accessed through use of a browser.

Another videoconferencing solution. 15.7 Default Bandwidth Management Classes and Priorities If you enable bandwidth management but do not configure a rule for critical traffic like VoIP, the voice traffic may then get delayed due to insufficient bandwidth. With the automatic traffic classifier feature activated, the NBG334W automatically assigns a default bandwidth management class and priority to traffic that does not match any of the user-defined rules. The traffic is classified based on the traffic type. Real-time traffic always gets higher priority over other traffic. The following table shows you the priorities between the three default classes (AutoClass_H, AutoClass_M and Default Class) and user-defined rules. 6 is the highest priority.

Figure 81 Management > Bandwidth MGMT > Monitor 152 NBG334W Users Guide CHAPTER 16 Remote Management This chapter provides information on the Remote Management screens. 16.1 Remote Management Overview Remote management allows you to determine which services/protocols can access which NBG334W interface (if any) from which computers.

When you configure remote management to allow management from the WAN, you still need to configure a firewall rule to allow access. See the firewall chapters for details on configuring firewall rules. You may manage your NBG334W from a remote location via:

ALL (LAN and WAN) Neither (Disable). Internet (WAN only) LAN only

When you choose WAN or LAN & WAN, you still need to configure a firewall rule to allow access. To disable remote management of a service, select Disable in the corresponding Server Access field. You may only have one remote management session running at a time. The NBG334W automatically disconnects a remote management session of lower priority when another remote management session of higher priority starts. The priorities for the different types of remote management sessions are as follows. 1 Telnet 2 HTTP 16.1.1 Remote Management Limitations Remote management over LAN or WAN will not work when:

NBG334W Users Guide 153 Chapter 16 Remote Management 1 You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens. 2 The IP address in the Secured Client IP Address field does not match the client IP address. If it does not match, the NBG334W will disconnect the session immediately. 3 There is already another remote management session with an equal or higher priority running.

A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use. See Section 17.3 on page 160 for configuration instructions. 17.1.1 How do I know if I'm using UPnP?

UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each UPnP compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting the icon of a UPnP device will allow you to access the information and properties of that device. 17.1.2 NAT Traversal UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions. NAT traversal allows the following:

Dynamic port mapping Learning public IP addresses Assigning lease times to mappings Windows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP. See the NAT chapter for more information on NAT. 17.1.3 Cautions with UPnP The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also be obtained and modified by users in some network environments. NBG334W Users Guide 159 Chapter 17 Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For security reasons, the NBG334W allows multicast messages on the LAN only. All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention. 17.2 UPnP and ZyXEL ZyXEL has achieved UPnP certification from the Universal Plug and Play Forum UPnP Implementers Corp. (UIC). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports Internet Gateway Device

(IGD) 1.0. See the following sections for examples of installing and using UPnP. 17.3 UPnP Screen Click the Management > UPnP to display the UPnP screen. Figure 87 Management > UPnP > General The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 68 Management > UPnP > General DESCRIPTION LABEL Enable the Universal Plug Select this check box to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to open the web configurator's login screen and Play (UPnP) Feature without entering the NBG334W's IP address (although you must still enter the password to access the web configurator). Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the NBG334W so that they can communicate through the NBG334W, for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another UPnP enabled device; this eliminates the need to manually configure port forwarding for the UPnP enabled application. Select this check box to allow traffic from UPnP-enabled applications to bypass the firewall. Clear this check box to have the firewall block all UPnP application packets (for example, MSN packets).

I dont know the IP address of my NBG334W. 1 The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. 2 If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, you might get the IP address of the NBG334W by looking up the IP address of the default gateway for your computer. To do this in most Windows computers, click Start > Run, enter cmd, and then enter ipconfig. The IP address of the Default Gateway might be the IP address of the NBG334W (it depends on the network), so enter this IP address in your Internet browser. 3 Set your device to Router Mode, login (see the Quick Start Guide for instructions) and go to the Device Information table in the Status screen. Your NBG334Ws IP address is available in the Device Information table. If the DHCP setting under LAN information is None, your device has a fixed IP address. If the DHCP setting under LAN information is Client, then your device receives an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. 4 If your NBG334W is a DHCP client, you can find your IP address from the DHCP server. This information is only available from the DHCP server which allocates IP addresses on your network. Find this information directly from the DHCP server or contact your system administrator for more information. 5 Reset your NBG334W to change all settings back to their default. This means your current settings are lost. See Section 23.4 on page 207 in the Troubleshooting for information on resetting your NBG334W.

Allows IEEE 802.11b and/or IEEE 802.11g wireless clients to connect to the NBG334W wirelessly. Enable wireless security (WEP, WPA(2), WPA(2)-PSK) and/or MAC filtering to protect your wireless network. Note: The NBG334W may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth enabled devices, and other wireless LANs. Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web site and use the web configurator, an FTP or a TFTP tool to put it on the NBG334W. Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!

Make a copy of the NBG334Ws configuration and put it back on the NBG334W later if you decide you want to revert back to an earlier configuration. Each computer on your network must have its own unique IP address. Use NAT to convert a single public IP address to multiple private IP addresses for the computers on your network. You can configure firewall on the NBG334W for secure Internet access. When the firewall is on, by default, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked unless it is initiated from your network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files for example. The NBG334W blocks or allows access to web sites that you specify and blocks access to web sites with URLs that contain keywords that you specify. You can define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled. You can also include or exclude particular computers on your network from content filtering. You can also subscribe to category-based content filtering that allows your NBG334W to check web sites against an external database. You can efficiently manage traffic on your network by reserving bandwidth and giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers. Get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on your NBG334W. You can also set the time manually. These dates and times are then used in logs. If you have a server (mail or web server for example) on your network, then use this feature to let people access it from the Internet. Use this feature to have the NBG334W assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to computers on your network. With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can use a fixed URL, www.zyxel.com for example, with a dynamic IP address. You must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider. 212 NBG334W Users Guide Appendix A Product Specifications and Wall-Mounting Instructions Table 96 Firmware Features FEATURE IP Multicast IP Alias Logging and Tracing PPPoE PPTP Encapsulation Universal Plug and Play

(UPnP) DESCRIPTION IP Multicast is used to send traffic to a specific group of computers. The NBG334W supports versions 1 and 2 of IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) used to join multicast groups (see RFC 2236). IP Alias allows you to subdivide a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet interface with the NBG334W itself as the gateway for each subnet. Use packet tracing and logs for troubleshooting. You can send logs from the NBG334W to an external UNIX syslog server. PPPoE mimics a dial-up over Ethernet Internet access connection. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) enables secure transfer of data through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The NBG334W supports one PPTP connection at a time. The NBG334W can communicate with other UPnP enabled devices in a network.

Figure 130 Java (Sun) 222 NBG334W Users Guide APPENDIX C IP Addresses and Subnetting This appendix introduces IP addresses and subnet masks. IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network. These networking devices are also known as hosts. Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a network. You can also use subnet masks to divide one network into multiple sub-networks. Introduction to IP Addresses One part of the IP address is the network number, and the other part is the host ID. In the same way that houses on a street share a common street name, the hosts on a network share a common network number. Similarly, as each house has its own house number, each host on the network has its own unique identifying number - the host ID. Routers use the network number to send packets to the correct network, while the host ID determines to which host on the network the packets are delivered. Structure An IP address is made up of four parts, written in dotted decimal notation (for example, 192.168.1.1). Each of these four parts is known as an octet. An octet is an eight-digit binary number (for example 11000000, which is 192 in decimal notation). Therefore, each octet has a possible range of 00000000 to 11111111 in binary, or 0 to 255 in decimal. The following figure shows an example IP address in which the first three octets (192.168.1) are the network number, and the fourth octet (16) is the host ID. NBG334W Users Guide 223 Appendix C IP Addresses and Subnetting Figure 131 Network Number and Host ID How much of the IP address is the network number and how much is the host ID varies according to the subnet mask. Subnet Masks A subnet mask is used to determine which bits are part of the network number, and which bits are part of the host ID (using a logical AND operation). The term subnet is short for sub-

network. A subnet mask has 32 bits. If a bit in the subnet mask is a 1 then the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the network number. If a bit in the subnet mask is 0 then the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the host ID. The following example shows a subnet mask identifying the network number (in bold text) and host ID of an IP address (192.168.1.2 in decimal). Table 99 Subnet Mask - Identifying Network Number IP Address (Binary) Subnet Mask (Binary) Network Number Host ID 1ST OCTET:

(2) 00000010 00000000 00000010 By convention, subnet masks always consist of a continuous sequence of ones beginning from the leftmost bit of the mask, followed by a continuous sequence of zeros, for a total number of 32 bits. Subnet masks can be referred to by the size of the network number part (the bits with a 1 value). For example, an 8-bit mask means that the first 8 bits of the mask are ones and the remaining 24 bits are zeroes. 224 NBG334W Users Guide Appendix C IP Addresses and Subnetting Subnet masks are expressed in dotted decimal notation just like IP addresses. The following examples show the binary and decimal notation for 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 29-bit subnet masks.

The larger the number of network number bits, the smaller the number of remaining host ID bits. An IP address with host IDs of all zeros is the IP address of the network (192.168.1.0 with a 24-bit subnet mask, for example). An IP address with host IDs of all ones is the broadcast address for that network (192.168.1.255 with a 24-bit subnet mask, for example). As these two IP addresses cannot be used for individual hosts, calculate the maximum number of possible hosts in a network as follows:

Table 101 Maximum Host Numbers SUBNET MASK 8 bits 16 bits 24 bits 29 bits HOST ID SIZE 24 bits 255.0.0.0 16 bits 255.255.0.0 255.255.255.0 8 bits 255.255.255.248 3 bits MAXIMUM NUMBER OF HOSTS 16777214 65534 254 6 224 2 216 2 28 2 23 2 Notation Since the mask is always a continuous number of ones beginning from the left, followed by a continuous number of zeros for the remainder of the 32 bit mask, you can simply specify the number of ones instead of writing the value of each octet. This is usually specified by writing a / followed by the number of bits in the mask after the address. For example, 192.1.1.0 /25 is equivalent to saying 192.1.1.0 with subnet mask 255.255.255.128. The following table shows some possible subnet masks using both notations. Table 102 Alternative Subnet Mask Notation SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.128 ALTERNATIVE NOTATION

(DECIMAL) 192 224 240 248 252 Subnetting You can use subnetting to divide one network into multiple sub-networks. In the following example a network administrator creates two sub-networks to isolate a group of servers from the rest of the company network for security reasons. In this example, the company network address is 192.168.1.0. The first three octets of the address (192.168.1) are the network number, and the remaining octet is the host ID, allowing a maximum of 28 2 or 254 possible hosts. The following figure shows the company network before subnetting. Figure 132 Subnetting Example: Before Subnetting You can borrow one of the host ID bits to divide the network 192.168.1.0 into two separate sub-networks. The subnet mask is now 25 bits (255.255.255.128 or /25). The borrowed host ID bit can have a value of either 0 or 1, allowing two subnets;

192.168.1.0 /25 and 192.168.1.128 /25. The following figure shows the company network after subnetting. There are now two sub-

networks, A and B. 226 NBG334W Users Guide Figure 133 Subnetting Example: After Subnetting Appendix C IP Addresses and Subnetting In a 25-bit subnet the host ID has 7 bits, so each sub-network has a maximum of 27 2 or 126 possible hosts (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnets address itself, all ones is the subnets broadcast address). 192.168.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.128 is subnet A itself, and 192.168.1.127 with mask 255.255.255.128 is its broadcast address. Therefore, the lowest IP address that can be assigned to an actual host for subnet A is 192.168.1.1 and the highest is 192.168.1.126. Similarly, the host ID range for subnet B is 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.254. Example: Four Subnets The previous example illustrated using a 25-bit subnet mask to divide a 24-bit address into two subnets. Similarly, to divide a 24-bit address into four subnets, you need to borrow two host ID bits to give four possible combinations (00, 01, 10 and 11). The subnet mask is 26 bits

(11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000) or 255.255.255.192. Each subnet contains 6 host ID bits, giving 26 - 2 or 62 hosts for each subnet (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnet itself, all ones is the subnets broadcast address).

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. 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. You must also enable Network Address Translation (NAT) on the NBG334W. Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address for your NBG334W that is easy to remember (for instance, 192.168.1.1) but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your NBG334W 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 NBG334W unless you are instructed to do otherwise. Private IP Addresses Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from the Internet (running only between two branch offices, for example) 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:

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 it can be assigned from 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. 230 NBG334W Users Guide D APPENDIX Setting up Your Computers IP Address All computers must have a 10M or 100M Ethernet adapter card and TCP/IP installed.

246 NBG334W Users Guide APPENDIX E Wireless LANs Wireless LAN Topologies This section discusses ad-hoc and infrastructure wireless LAN topologies. Ad-hoc Wireless LAN Configuration The simplest WLAN configuration is an independent (Ad-hoc) WLAN that connects a set of computers with wireless stations (A, B, C). Any time two or more wireless adapters are within range of each other, they can set up an independent network, which is commonly referred to as an Ad-hoc network or Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). The following diagram shows an example of notebook computers using wireless adapters to form an Ad-hoc wireless LAN. Figure 157 Peer-to-Peer Communication in an Ad-hoc Network BSS A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless stations or between a wireless station and a wired network client go through one access point (AP). Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled, wireless station A and B can access the wired network and communicate with each other. When Intra-BSS is disabled, wireless station A and B can still access the wired network but cannot communicate with each other. NBG334W Users Guide 247 Appendix E Wireless LANs Figure 158 Basic Service Set ESS An Extended Service Set (ESS) consists of a series of overlapping BSSs, each containing an access point, with each access point connected together by a wired network. This wired connection between APs is called a Distribution System (DS). This type of wireless LAN topology is called an Infrastructure WLAN. The Access Points not only provide communication with the wired network but also mediate wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood. An ESSID (ESS IDentification) uniquely identifies each ESS. All access points and their associated wireless stations within the same ESS must have the same ESSID in order to communicate. 248 NBG334W Users Guide Figure 159 Infrastructure WLAN Appendix E Wireless LANs Channel A channel is the radio frequency(ies) used by IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless devices. Channels available depend on your geographical area. You may have a choice of channels (for your region) so you should use a different channel than an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce interference. Interference occurs when radio signals from different access points overlap causing interference and degrading performance. Adjacent channels partially overlap however. To avoid interference due to overlap, your AP should be on a channel at least five channels away from a channel that an adjacent AP is using. For example, if your region has 11 channels and an adjacent AP is using channel 1, then you need to select a channel between 6 or 11. RTS/CTS A hidden node occurs when two stations are within range of the same access point, but are not within range of each other. The following figure illustrates a hidden node. Both stations (STA) are within range of the access point (AP) or wireless gateway, but out-of-range of each other, so they cannot "hear" each other, that is they do not know if the channel is currently being used. Therefore, they are considered hidden from each other. NBG334W Users Guide 249 Appendix E Wireless LANs Figure 160 RTS/CTS When station A sends data to the AP, it might not know that the station B is already using the channel. If these two stations send data at the same time, collisions may occur when both sets of data arrive at the AP at the same time, resulting in a loss of messages for both stations. RTS/CTS is designed to prevent collisions due to hidden nodes. An RTS/CTS defines the biggest size data frame you can send before an RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake is invoked. When a data frame exceeds the RTS/CTS value you set (between 0 to 2432 bytes), the station that wants to transmit this frame must first send an RTS (Request To Send) message to the AP for permission to send it. The AP then responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) message to all other stations within its range to notify them to defer their transmission. It also reserves and confirms with the requesting station the time frame for the requested transmission. Stations can send frames smaller than the specified RTS/CTS directly to the AP without the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake. You should only configure RTS/CTS if the possibility of hidden nodes exists on your network and the "cost" of resending large frames is more than the extra network overhead involved in the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake. If the RTS/CTS value is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold value (see next), then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before they reach RTS/CTS size.

Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network overhead that could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy. Fragmentation Threshold A Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2432 bytes) that can be sent in the wireless network before the AP will fragment the packet into smaller data frames. A large Fragmentation Threshold is recommended for networks not prone to interference while you should set a smaller threshold for busy networks or networks that are prone to interference. 250 NBG334W Users Guide Appendix E Wireless LANs If the Fragmentation Threshold value is smaller than the RTS/CTS value (see previously) you set then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before they reach RTS/CTS size. Preamble Type A preamble is used to synchronize the transmission timing in your wireless network. There are two preamble modes: Long and Short. Short preamble takes less time to process and minimizes overhead, so it should be used in a good wireless network environment when all wireless stations support it. Select Long if you have a noisy network or are unsure of what preamble mode your wireless stations support as all IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless adapters must support long preamble. However, not all wireless adapters support short preamble. Use long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless adapters support, to ensure interpretability between the AP and the wireless stations and to provide more reliable communication in noisy networks. Select Dynamic to have the AP automatically use short preamble when all wireless stations support it, otherwise the AP uses long preamble.

The AP and the wireless stations MUST use the same preamble mode in order to communicate. IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE 802.11b adapter can interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g access point (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on range. IEEE 802.11g has several intermediate rate steps between the maximum and minimum data rates. The IEEE 802.11g data rate and modulation are as follows:

Table 110 IEEE 802.11g DATA RATE (MBPS) MODULATION 1 2 5.5 / 11 6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) DBPSK (Differential Binary Phase Shift Keyed) DQPSK (Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) CCK (Complementary Code Keying) IEEE 802.1x In June 2001, the IEEE 802.1x standard was designed to extend the features of IEEE 802.11 to support extended authentication as well as providing additional accounting and control features. It is supported by Windows XP and a number of network devices. Some advantages of IEEE 802.1x are:

NBG334W Users Guide 251 Appendix E Wireless LANs User based identification that allows for roaming. Support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2138, 2139) for centralized user profile and accounting management on a network RADIUS server. Support for EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol, RFC 2486) that allows additional authentication methods to be deployed with no changes to the access point or the wireless stations. RADIUS RADIUS is based on a client-server model that supports authentication, authorization and accounting. The access point is the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles the following tasks:

Authentication Determines the identity of the users. Authorization Determines the network services available to authenticated users once they are connected to the network. Accounting Keeps track of the clients network activity. RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the wireless station and the network RADIUS server. Types of RADIUS Messages The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS server for user authentication:

Access-Request Sent by an access point requesting authentication. Access-Reject Sent by a RADIUS server rejecting access. Access-Accept Sent by a RADIUS server allowing access. Access-Challenge Sent by a RADIUS server requesting more information in order to allow access. The access point sends a proper response from the user and then sends another Access-Request message. The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS server for user accounting:

Accounting-Request Sent by the access point requesting accounting. Accounting-Response Sent by the RADIUS server to indicate that it has started or stopped accounting. 252 NBG334W Users Guide Appendix E Wireless LANs In order to ensure network security, the access point and the RADIUS server use a shared secret key, which is a password, they both know. The key is not sent over the network. In addition to the shared key, password information exchanged is also encrypted to protect the network from unauthorized access. Types of Authentication This appendix discusses some popular authentication types: EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-

TTLS, PEAP and LEAP. The type of authentication you use depends on the RADIUS server or the AP. Consult your network administrator for more information. EAP-MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) MD5 authentication is the simplest one-way authentication method. The authentication server sends a challenge to the wireless station. The wireless station proves that it knows the password by encrypting the password with the challenge and sends back the information. Password is not sent in plain text. However, MD5 authentication has some weaknesses. Since the authentication server needs to get the plaintext passwords, the passwords must be stored. Thus someone other than the authentication server may access the password file. In addition, it is possible to impersonate an authentication server as MD5 authentication method does not perform mutual authentication. Finally, MD5 authentication method does not support data encryption with dynamic session key. You must configure WEP encryption keys for data encryption. EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security) With EAP-TLS, digital certifications are needed by both the server and the wireless stations for mutual authentication. The server presents a certificate to the client. After validating the identity of the server, the client sends a different certificate to the server. The exchange of certificates is done in the open before a secured tunnel is created. This makes user identity vulnerable to passive attacks. A digital certificate is an electronic ID card that authenticates the senders identity. However, to implement EAP-TLS, you need a Certificate Authority (CA) to handle certificates, which imposes a management overhead. EAP-TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Service) EAP-TTLS is an extension of the EAP-TLS authentication that uses certificates for only the server-side authentications to establish a secure connection. Client authentication is then done by sending username and password through the secure connection, thus client identity is protected. For client authentication, EAP-TTLS supports EAP methods and legacy authentication methods such as PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP v2. NBG334W Users Guide 253 Appendix E Wireless LANs PEAP (Protected EAP) Like EAP-TTLS, server-side certificate authentication is used to establish a secure connection, then use simple username and password methods through the secured connection to authenticate the clients, thus hiding client identity. However, PEAP only supports EAP methods, such as EAP-MD5, EAP-MSCHAPv2 and EAP-GTC (EAP-Generic Token Card), for client authentication. EAP-GTC is implemented only by Cisco. LEAP LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a Cisco implementation of IEEE 802.1x. Dynamic WEP Key Exchange The AP maps a unique key that is generated with the RADIUS server. This key expires when the wireless connection times out, disconnects or reauthentication times out. A new WEP key is generated each time reauthentication is performed. If this feature is enabled, it is not necessary to configure a default encryption key in the Wireless screen. You may still configure and store keys here, but they will not be used while Dynamic WEP is enabled.

EAP-MD5 cannot be used with dynamic WEP key exchange For added security, certificate-based authentications (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP) use dynamic keys for data encryption. They are often deployed in corporate environments, but for public deployment, a simple user name and password pair is more practical. The following table is a comparison of the features of authentication types. Table 111 Comparison of EAP Authentication Types Mutual Authentication Certificate Client Certificate Server Dynamic Key Exchange Credential Integrity Deployment Difficulty Client Identity Protection EAP-MD5 No No No No None Easy No EAP-TLS Yes Yes Yes Yes Strong Hard No EAP-TTLS Yes Optional Yes Yes Strong Moderate Yes PEAP Yes Optional Yes Yes Strong Moderate Yes LEAP Yes No No Yes Moderate Moderate No WPA(2) Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management than WPA. 254 NBG334W Users Guide Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are improved data encryption and user authentication. Encryption Appendix E Wireless LANs Both WPA and WPA2 improve data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol

(TKIP), Message Integrity Check (MIC) and IEEE 802.1x. In addition to TKIP, WPA2 also uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Counter mode with Cipher block chaining Message authentication code Protocol (CCMP) to offer stronger encryption. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) uses 128-bit keys that are dynamically generated and distributed by the authentication server. It includes a per-packet key mixing function, a Message Integrity Check (MIC) named Michael, an extended initialization vector (IV) with sequencing rules, and a re-keying mechanism. TKIP regularly changes and rotates the encryption keys so that the same encryption key is never used twice. The RADIUS server distributes a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) key to the AP that then sets up a key hierarchy and management system, using the pair-wise key to dynamically generate unique data encryption keys to encrypt every data packet that is wirelessly communicated between the AP and the wireless clients. This all happens in the background automatically. WPA2 AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a block cipher that uses a 256-bit mathematical algorithm called Rijndael. The Message Integrity Check (MIC) is designed to prevent an attacker from capturing data packets, altering them and resending them. The MIC provides a strong mathematical function in which the receiver and the transmitter each compute and then compare the MIC. If they do not match, it is assumed that the data has been tampered with and the packet is dropped. By generating unique data encryption keys for every data packet and by creating an integrity checking mechanism (MIC), TKIP makes it much more difficult to decode data on a Wi-Fi network than WEP, making it difficult for an intruder to break into the network. The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials. The common-password approach makes WPA-PSK susceptible to brute-force password-guessing attacks but it's still an improvement over WEP as it employs an easier-to-

use, consistent, single, alphanumeric password. User Authentication WPA or WPA2 applies IEEE 802.1x and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients using an external RADIUS database. If both an AP and the wireless clients support WPA2 and you have an external RADIUS server, use WPA2 for stronger data encryption. If you don't have an external RADIUS server, you should use WPA2 -PSK (WPA2 -Pre-Shared Key) that only requires a single (identical) password entered into each access point, wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a wireless client will be granted access to a WLAN. If the AP or the wireless clients do not support WPA2, just use WPA or WPA-PSK depending on whether you have an external RADIUS server or not. Select WEP only when the AP and/or wireless clients do not support WPA or WPA2. WEP is less secure than WPA or WPA2. NBG334W Users Guide 255 Appendix E Wireless LANs 23.6.2 WPA(2)-PSK Application Example A WPA(2)-PSK application looks as follows. 1 First enter identical passwords into the AP and all wireless clients. The Pre-Shared Key

(PSK) must consist of between 8 and 63 ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols). 2 The AP checks each wireless client's password and (only) allows it to join the network if the password matches. 3 The AP derives and distributes keys to the wireless clients. 4 The AP and wireless clients use the TKIP or AES encryption process to encrypt data exchanged between them. Figure 161 WPA(2)-PSK Authentication 23.6.3 WPA(2) with RADIUS Application Example You need the IP address of the RADIUS server, its port number (default is 1812), and the RADIUS shared secret. A WPA(2) application example with an external RADIUS server looks as follows. "A" is the RADIUS server. "DS" is the distribution system. 1 The AP passes the wireless client's authentication request to the RADIUS server. 2 The RADIUS server then checks the user's identification against its database and grants or denies network access accordingly. 3 The RADIUS server distributes a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) key to the AP that then sets up a key hierarchy and management system, using the pair-wise key to dynamically generate unique data encryption keys to encrypt every data packet that is wirelessly communicated between the AP and the wireless clients. 256 NBG334W Users Guide Security Parameters Summary Appendix E Wireless LANs Refer to this table to see what other security parameters you should configure for each Authentication Method/ key management protocol type.
