Advanced99 RIPRIP (Routing Information Protocol) - RIP allows the network administrator to set up routing information on one RIP-enabled device (this Router), and send that information to all RIP-enabled devices on the network. Figure 80 RIP Parameter Screen You can set up RIP independently on both LAN and WAN interfaces. 1Check the Enable RIP checkbox. 2Check the Enable Auto summary checkbox. Auto summarization sends simplified routing data to other RIP-enabled devices rather than full routing...

100CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE ROUTER 5Use the Poison Reverse drop-down menu to enable or disable Poison Reverse on the Router. Enabling Poison Reverse on your Router allows it to indicate to other RIP-enabled devices that they have both routes that point to each other, preventing data loops. 6Use the Authentication Required field to choose the mode of authentication: ■None — Switches off authentication on the specified interface. ■Password — An unencrypted text password that needs to be set on all...

Advanced101 DDNSThe Router provides a list of dynamic DNS providers for you to choose from. Dynamic Domain Name Server (DDNS) enables you to map a static domain name to a dynamic IP address. This function allows you to create a hostname that points to your dynamic IP or static IP address or URL. Before you set up DDNS, you must obtain an account, password or key and static domain name from your DDNS provider. The Router supports five DDNS providers: ■DynDNS.org ■TZO.com ■Dt DNS.com ■No-IP.com...

102CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE ROUTER SNMPSNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) allows remote management of your Router by a PC that has an SNMP management agent installed. Check the Enable SNMP box, the table will appear. Figure 82 SNMP Screen Enter the System Contact, System Name, and System Location information. To Configure SNMP Community: 1In the Community column, enter the name of the SNMP communication channel. Your SNMP management agent needs to be configured with this name so that it...

Advanced103 You can configure your Router to send status messages to the SNMP management agent if a problem occurs on the network. To configure SNMP traps: 1In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the PC to which you want your Router to send status messages. 2In the Community field, enter the name of the SNMP communication channel to which you want your Router to send status messages. 3Set the Version field to match the version of trap messaging that your SNMP management agent supports....

104CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE ROUTER Proxy ARPProxy ARP is the technique in which one host, usually a Router, answers ARP requests intended for another machine. By “faking” its identity, the Router accepts responsibility for routing packets to the “real” or intended destination. This heightens the security for your network. Figure 84 Proxy ARP Screen 1Check the Enable ProxyARP box. 2Enter the corresponding IP address in the IP Address From and IP Address To fields. 3Click Apply.

Advanced105 QoS SettingsThe QoS (Quality of Service) function allows you to differentiate your network traffic and provide it with high-priority forwarding service. The bandwidth gap between LAN and WAN may significantly degrade performance of critical network applications, such as VoIP, gaming, and VPN. This QoS function allows you to classify traffic of applications and provides them with differentiated services (Diffserv). Figure 85 QoS Settings Screen 1Check the Enable QoS box, and enter the...

Figure 86 Traffic Mapping Screen Click Add, the Edit Traffic Class screen will appear. Figure 87 Edit Traffic Class Screen 1Define the Rule name. 2Select the traffic type from drop-down menu. 3Select the forwarding group from the Map to Forwarding Group drop-down menu. 4Select the value from the Remark DSCP as...

108CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE ROUTER VPNThe Router has a Virtual Private Network (VPN) feature that provides a secure link between remote users and the corporate network by establishing an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure data over the Internet. The Router supports three modes of VPN operation: ■IPSec (IP Security) — provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using digital certificates for device authentication....
