3.1 WAN
Quick Start Wizard offers user an easy method to quick setup the connection mode for the
router. Moreover, if you want to adjust more settings for different WAN modes, please go to
WAN group and click the Internet Access link.
3.1.1 Basics of Internet Protocol (IP) Network
IP means Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based Network including routers, print
server, and host PCs, needs an IP address to identify its location on the network. To avoid
address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with the Network Information Centre
(NIC). Having a unique IP address is mandatory for those devices participated in the public
network but not in the private TCP/IP local area networks (LANs), such as host PCs under
the management of a router since they do not need to be accessed by the public. Hence, the
NIC has reserved certain addresses that will never be registered publicly. These are known as
private IP addresses, and are listed in the following ranges:
From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
What are Public IP Address and Private IP Address

As the router plays a role to manage and further protect its LAN, it interconnects groups of
host PCs. Each of them has a private IP address assigned by the built-in DHCP server of the
Vigor router. The router itself will also use the default private IP address: 192.168.1.1 to
communicate with the local hosts. Meanwhile, Vigor router will communicate with other
network devices through a public IP address. When the data flow passing through, the
Network Address Translation (NAT) function of the router will dedicate to translate
public/private addresses, and the packets will be delivered to the correct host PC in the local
area network. Thus, all the host PCs can share a common Internet connection.
Get Your Public IP Address from ISP

In ADSL deployment, the PPP (Point to Point)-style authentication and authorization is
required for bridging customer premises equipment (CPE). Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet (PPPoE) connects a network of hosts via an access device to a remote access
concentrator or aggregation concentrator. This implementation provides users with
significant ease of use. Meanwhile it provides access control, billing, and type of service
according to user requirement.
When a router begins to connect to your ISP, a serial of discovery process will occur to ask
for a connection. Then a session will be created. Your user ID and password is authenticated
via PAP or CHAP with RADIUS authentication system. And your IP address, DNS server,
and other related information will usually be assigned by your ISP.

Below shows the menu items for Internet Access.
3.1.2 General Setup

This section will introduce some general settings of Internet and explain the connection
modes for WAN1 and WAN2 in details.
This router supports dual WAN function. It allows users to access Internet and combine the
bandwidth of the dual WAN to speed up the transmission through the network. Each WAN
port can connect to different ISPs, Even if the ISPs use different technology to provide
telecommunication service (such as DSL, Cable modem, etc.). If any connection problem
occurred on one of the ISP connections, all the traffic will be guided and switched to the
normal communication port for proper operation. Please configure WAN1 and WAN2
settings.
This webpage allows you to set general setup for WAN1 and WAN respectively.

3.2 LAN
Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of subnets regulated and ruled by router. The design
of network structure is related to what type of public IP addresses coming from your ISP.
3.2.1 Basics of LAN

The most generic function of Vigor router is NAT. It creates a private subnet of your own. As
mentioned previously, the router will talk to other public hosts on the Internet by using
public IP address and talking to local hosts by using its private IP address. What NAT does is
to translate the packets from public IP address to private IP address to forward the right
packets to the right host and vice versa. Besides, Vigor router has a built-in DHCP server that
assigns private IP address to each local host. See the following diagram for a briefly
understanding.
In some special case, you may have a public IP subnet from your ISP such as
220.135.240.0/24. This means that you can set up a public subnet or call second subnet that
each host is equipped with a public IP address. As a part of the public subnet, the Vigor
router will serve for IP routing to help hosts in the public subnet to communicate with other
public hosts or servers outside. Therefore, the router should be set as the gateway for public
hosts.

What is Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
Vigor router will exchange routing information with neighboring routers using the RIP to
accomplish IP routing. This allows users to change the information of the router such as IP
address and the routers will automatically inform for each other.
What is Static Route

When you have several subnets in your LAN, sometimes a more effective and quicker way
for connection is the Static routes function rather than other method. You may simply set
rules to forward data from one specified subnet to another specified subnet without the
presence of RIP.
What are Virtual LANs and Rate Control

You can group local hosts by physical ports and create up to 4 virtual LANs. To manage the
communication between different groups, please set up rules in Virtual LAN (VLAN)
function and the rate of each.

3.2.2 General Setup
This page provides you the general settings for LAN.
Click LAN to open the LAN settings page and choose General Setup.
1st IP Address Type in private IP address for connecting to a local private network
(Default: 192.168.1.1).
1st Subnet Mask Type in an address code that determines the size of the network.
(Default: 255.255.255.0/ 24)
For IP Routing Usage Click Enable to invoke this function. The default setting is
Disable.
2nd IP Address Type in secondary IP address for connecting to a subnet.
(Default: 192.168.2.1/ 24)
2nd Subnet Mask An address code that determines the size of the network.
(Default: 255.255.255.0/ 24)
2nd DHCP Server You can configure the router to serve as a DHCP server for the 2nd
subnet.

Start IP Address: Enter a value of the IP address pool for the
DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the 2nd IP
address of your router is 220.135.240.1, the starting IP address
must be 220.135.240.2 or greater, but smaller than
220.135.240.254.
IP Pool Counts: Enter the number of IP addresses in the pool. The

maximum is 10. For example, if you type 3 and the 2nd IP address
of your router is 220.135.240.1, the range of IP address by the
DHCP server will be from 220.135.240.2 to 220.135.240.11.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC Address of the host one by one
and click Add to create a list of hosts to be assigned, deleted or
edited IP address from above pool. Set a list of MAC Address for
2nd DHCP server will help router to assign the correct IP address of
the correct subnet to the correct host. So those hosts in 2nd subnet
won’t get an IP address belonging to 1st subnet.
RIP Protocol Control Disable deactivates the RIP protocol. It will lead to a stoppage of
the exchange of routing information between routers. (Default)
1st Subnet - Select the router to change the RIP information of the
1st subnet with neighboring routers.
2nd Subnet - Select the router to change the RIP information of
the 2nd subnet with neighboring routers.
DHCP Server DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The
Configuration router by factory default acts a DHCP server for your network so it
automatically dispatch related IP settings to any local user
configured as a DHCP client. It is highly recommended that you
leave the router enabled as a DHCP server if you do not have a
DHCP server for your network.
If you want to use another DHCP server in the network other than
the Vigor Router’s, you can let Relay Agent help you to redirect the
DHCP request to the specified location.
Enable Server - Let the router assign IP address to every host in
the LAN.
Disable Server – Let you manually assign IP address to every host
in the LAN.
Relay Agent – (1st subnet/2nd subnet) Specify which subnet that
DHCP server is located the relay agent should redirect the DHCP
request to.
Start IP Address - Enter a value of the IP address pool for the
DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the 1st IP
address of your router is 192.168.1.1, the starting IP address must
be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254.
IP Pool Counts - Enter the maximum number of PCs that you
want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. The default is 50
and the maximum is 253.
Gateway IP Address - Enter a value of the gateway IP address for
the DHCP server. The value is usually as same as the 1st IP address

of the router, which means the router is the default gateway.
DHCP Server IP Address for Relay Agent - Set the IP address of
the DHCP server you are going to use so the Relay Agent can help
to forward the DHCP request to the DHCP server.
DNS Server DNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet host must
Configuration have a unique IP address, also they may have a human-friendly,
easy to remember name such as www.yahoo.com. The DNS server
converts the user-friendly name into its equivalent IP address.
Force DNS manual setting - Force Vigor2910 to use DNS servers
in this page instead of DNS servers given by the Internet Access
server (PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP or DHCP server).
Primary IP Address -You must specify a DNS server IP address
here because your ISP should provide you with usually more than
one DNS Server. If your ISP does not provide it, the router will
automatically apply default DNS Server IP address: 194.109.6.66
to this field.
Secondary IP Address - You can specify secondary DNS server IP
address here because your ISP often provides you more than one
DNS Server. If your ISP does not provide it, the router will
automatically apply default secondary DNS Server IP address:
194.98.0.1 to this field.
The default DNS Server IP address can be found via Online Status:
If both the Primary IP and Secondary IP Address fields are left

empty, the router will assign its own IP address to local users as a
DNS proxy server and maintain a DNS cache.
If the IP address of a domain name is already in the DNS cache, the
router will resolve the domain name immediately. Otherwise, the
router forwards the DNS query packet to the external DNS server
by establishing a WAN (e.g. DSL/Cable) connection.
There are two common scenarios of LAN settings that stated in Chapter 4. For the
configuration examples, please refer to that chapter to get more information for your
necessity.
3.2.3 Static Route

Go to LAN to open setting page and choose Static Route.

Index The number (1 to 10) under Index allows you to open next page to
set up static route.
Destination Address Displays the destination address of the static route.
Status Displays the status of the static route.
Viewing Routing Table Displays the routing table for your reference.
Add Static Routes to Private and Public Networks

Here is an example of setting Static Route in Main Router so that user A and B locating in
different subnet can talk to each other via the router. Assuming the Internet access has been
configured and the router works properly:
z use the Main Router to surf the Internet.
z create a private subnet 192.168.10.0 using an internal Router A (192.168.1.2)
z create a public subnet 211.100.88.0 via an internal Router B (192.168.1.3).
z have set Main Router 192.168.1.1 as the default gateway for the Router A 192.168.1.2.
Before setting Static Route, user A cannot talk to user B for Router A can only forward
recognized packets to its default gateway Main Router.
1. Go to LAN page and click General Setup, select 1st Subnet as the RIP Protocol
Control. Then click the OK button.

Note: There are two reasons that we have to apply RIP Protocol Control on
1st Subnet. The first is that the LAN interface can exchange RIP packets
with the neighboring routers via the 1st subnet (192.168.1.0/24). The second
is that those hosts on the internal private subnets (ex. 192.168.10.0/24) can
access the Internet via the router, and continuously exchange of IP routing
information with different subnets.
2. Click the LAN - Static Route and click on the Index Number 1. Check the Enable
box. Please add a static route as shown below, which regulates all packets destined to
192.168.10.0 will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2. Click OK.
3. Return to Static Route Setup page. Click on another Index Number to add another
static route as show below, which regulates all packets destined to 211.100.88.0 will be
forwarded to 192.168.1.3.
4. Go to Diagnostics and choose Routing Table to verify current routing table.

3.2.4 Bind IP to MAC
This function is used to bind the IP and MAC address in LAN to have a strengthen control in
network. When this function is enabled, all the assigned IP and MAC address binding
together cannot be changed. If you modified the binding IP or MAC address, it might cause
you not access into the Internet.
Click LAN and click Bind IP to MAC to open the setup page.
Enable Click this radio button to invoke this function. However, IP/MAC
which is not listed in IP Bind List also can connect to Internet.
Disable Click this radio button to disable this function. All the settings on
this page will be invalid.
Strict Bind Click this radio button to block the connection of the IP/MAC
which is not listed in IP Bind List.
ARP Table This table is the LAN ARP table of this router. The information
for IP and MAC will be displayed in this field. Each pair of IP
and MAC address listed in ARP table can be selected and added
to IP Bind List by clicking Add below.
Add and Edit IP Address – Type the IP address that will be used for the
specified MAC address.
Mac Address – Type the MAC address that is used to bind with
the assigned IP address.
Refresh It is used to refresh the ARP table. When there is one new PC
added to the LAN, you can click this link to obtain the newly
ARP table information.
IP Bind List It displays a list for the IP bind to MAC information.

Add It allows you to add the one you choose from the ARP table or
the IP/MAC address typed in Add and Edit to the table of IP
Bind List.
Edit It allows you to edit and modify the selected IP address and MAC
address that you create before.
Remove You can remove any item listed in IP Bind List. Simply click
and select the one, and click Remove. The selected item will be
removed from the IP Bind List.
Note: Before you select Strict Bind, you have to bind one set of IP/MAC address for one
PC. If not, no one of the PCs can access into Internet. And the web configurator of the router
might not be accessed.
3.3 NAT
Usually, the router serves as an NAT (Network Address Translation) router. NAT is a
mechanism that one or more private IP addresses can be mapped into a single public one.
Public IP address is usually assigned by your ISP, for which you may get charged. Private IP
addresses are recognized only among internal hosts.
When the outgoing packets destined to some public server on the Internet reach the NAT
router, the router will change its source address into the public IP address of the router, select
the available public port, and then forward it. At the same time, the router shall list an entry
in a table to memorize this address/port-mapping relationship. When the public server
response, the incoming traffic, of course, is destined to the router’s public IP address and the
router will do the inversion based on its table. Therefore, the internal host can communicate
with external host smoothly.
The benefit of the NAT includes:
z Save cost on applying public IP address and apply efficient usage of IP address.
NAT allows the internal IP addresses of local hosts to be translated into one public IP
address, thus you can have only one IP address on behalf of the entire internal hosts.
z Enhance security of the internal network by obscuring the IP address. There are
many attacks aiming victims based on the IP address. Since the attacker cannot be
aware of any private IP addresses, the NAT function can protect the internal network.
On NAT page, you will see the private IP address defined in RFC-1918. Usually
we use the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet for the router. As stated before, the NAT facility
can map one or more IP addresses and/or service ports into different specified
services. In other words, the NAT function can be achieved by using port mapping
methods.
Below shows the menu items for NAT.

3.3.1 Port Redirection
Port Redirection is usually set up for server related service inside the local network (LAN),
such as web servers, FTP servers, E-mail servers etc. Most of the case, you need a public IP
address for each server and this public IP address/domain name are recognized by all users.
Since the server is actually located inside the LAN, the network well protected by NAT of
the router, and identified by its private IP address/port, the goal of Port Redirection function
is to forward all access request with public IP address from external users to the mapping
private IP address/port of the server.
The port redirection can only apply to incoming traffic.

To use this function, please go to NAT page and choose Port Redirection web page. The
Port Redirection Table provides 10 port-mapping entries for the internal hosts.

Mode Two options are provided here for you to choose. To set a range for
the specific service, select Range.
Service Name Enter the description of the specific network service.
Protocol Select the transport layer protocol (TCP or UDP).
Public Port Specify which port can be redirected to the specified Private IP
and Port of the internal host. If you choose Range as the port
redirection mode, you will see two boxes on this field. Simply type
the required number on the first box. The second one will be
assigned automatically later.
Private IP Specify the private IP address of the internal host providing the
service. If you choose Range as the port redirection mode, you will
see two boxes on this field. Type a complete IP address in the first
box (as the starting point) and the fourth digits in the second box
(as the end point).
Private Port Specify the private port number of the service offered by the
internal host.
Active Check this box to activate the port-mapping entry you have
defined.
Note that the router has its own built-in services (servers) such as Telnet, HTTP and FTP etc.
Since the common port numbers of these services (servers) are all the same, you may need to
reset the router in order to avoid confliction.
For example, the built-in web configurator in the router is with default port 80, which may
conflict with the web server in the local network, http://192.168.1.13:80. Therefore, you need
to change the router’s http port to any one other than the default port 80 to avoid
conflict, such as 8080. This can be set in the System Maintenance >>Management Setup.
You then will access the admin screen of by suffixing the IP address with 8080, e.g.,
http://192.168.1.1:8080 instead of port 80.

3.3.2 DMZ Host
As mentioned above, Port Redirection can redirect incoming TCP/UDP or other traffic on
particular ports to the specific private IP address/port of host in the LAN. However, other IP
protocols, for example Protocols 50 (ESP) and 51 (AH), do not travel on a fixed port. Vigor
router provides a facility DMZ Host that maps ALL unsolicited data on any protocol to a
single host in the LAN. Regular web surfing and other such Internet activities from other
clients will continue to work without inappropriate interruption. DMZ Host allows a defined
internal user to be totally exposed to the Internet, which usually helps some special
applications such as Netmeeting or Internet Games etc.
The inherent security properties of NAT are somewhat bypassed if you set up DMZ
host. We suggest you to add additional filter rules or a secondary firewall.
Click DMZ Host to open the following page:
If you previously have set up WAN Alias in Internet Access>>PPPoE/PPPoA or Internet

Access>>MPoA, you will find them in Aux. WAN IP list for your selection.

Enable Check to enable the DMZ Host function.
Private IP Enter the private IP address of the DMZ host, or click Choose PC
to select one.
Choose PC Click this button and then a window will automatically pop up, as
depicted below. The window consists of a list of private IP
addresses of all hosts in your LAN network. Select one private IP
address in the list to be the DMZ host.
When you have selected one private IP from the above dialog, the
IP address will be shown on the following screen. Click OK to
save the setting.

3.3.3 Open Ports
Open Ports allows you to open a range of ports for the traffic of special applications.
Common application of Open Ports includes P2P application (e.g., BT, KaZaA, Gnutella,
WinMX, eMule and others), Internet Camera etc. Ensure that you keep the application
involved up-to-date to avoid falling victim to any security exploits.

3.4 Firewall
3.4.1 Basics for Firewall
While the broadband users demand more bandwidth for multimedia, interactive applications,
or distance learning, security has been always the most concerned. The firewall of the Vigor
router helps to protect your local network against attack from unauthorized outsiders. It also
restricts users in the local network from accessing the Internet. Furthermore, it can filter out
specific packets that trigger the router to build an unwanted outgoing connection.
The most basic security concept is to set user name and password while you install your
router. The administrator login will prevent unauthorized access to the router configuration
from your router.
If you did not set password during installation; you can go to System Maintenance to set up
your password.
Firewall Facilities
The users on the LAN are provided with secured protection by the following firewall
facilities:
z User-configurable IP filter (Call Filter/ Data Filter).
z Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI): tracks packets and denies unsolicited incoming data
z Selectable Denial of Service (DoS) /Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks protection
z URL Content Filter

IP Filters
Depending on whether there is an existing Internet connection, or in other words “the WAN
link status is up or down”, the IP filter architecture categorizes traffic into two: Call Filter
and Data Filter.
z Call Filter - When there is no existing Internet connection, Call Filter is applied to all
traffic, all of which should be outgoing. It will check packets according to the filter
rules. If legal, the packet will pass. Then the router shall “initiate a call” to build the
Internet connection and send the packet to Internet.
z Data Filter - When there is an existing Internet connection, Data Filter is applied to
incoming and outgoing traffic. It will check packets according to the filter rules. If legal,
the packet will pass the router.
The following illustrations are flow charts explaining how router will treat incoming traffic
and outgoing traffic respectively.
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)

Stateful inspection is a firewall architecture that works at the network layer. Unlike legacy
static packet filtering, which examines a packet based on the information in its header,
stateful inspection builds up a state machine to track each connection traversing all interfaces
of the firewall and makes sure they are valid. The stateful firewall of Vigor router not just
examine the header information also monitor the state of the connection.

Content Security Management (CSM)
As the popularity of all kinds of instant messenger application arises, communication cannot
become much easier. Nevertheless, while some industry may leverage this as a great tool to
connect with their customers, some industry may take reserve attitude in order to reduce
employee misusage during office hour or prevent unknown security leak. It is similar
situation for corporation towards peer-to-peer applications since file-sharing can be
convenient but insecure at the same time. To address these needs, we provide CSM
functionality.
Denial of Service (DoS) Defense

The DoS Defense functionality helps you to detect and mitigate the DoS attack. The attacks
are usually categorized into two types, the flooding-type attacks and the vulnerability attacks.
The flooding-type attacks will attempt to exhaust all your system's resource while the
vulnerability attacks will try to paralyze the system by offending the vulnerabilities of the
protocol or operation system.
The DoS Defense function enables the Vigor router to inspect every incoming packet based
on the attack signature database. Any malicious packet that might duplicate itself to paralyze
the host in the secure LAN will be strictly blocked and a Syslog message will be sent as
warning, if you set up Syslog server.
Also the Vigor router monitors the traffic. Any abnormal traffic flow violating the pre-defined
parameter, such as the number of thresholds, is identified as an attack and the Vigor router
will activate its defense mechanism to mitigate in a real-time manner.
The below shows the attack types that DoS/DDoS defense function can detect:
1. SYN flood attack 9. Smurf attack
2. UDP flood attack 10. SYN fragment
3. ICMP flood attack 11. ICMP fragment
4. TCP Flag scan 12. Tear drop attack
5. Trace route 13. Fraggle attack
6. IP options 14. Ping of Death attack
7. Unknown protocol 15. TCP/UDP port scan
8. Land attack
Content Filtering
To provide an appropriate cyberspace to users, Vigor router equips with URL Content Filter
not only to limit illegal traffic from/to the inappropriate web sites but also prohibit other web
feature where malicious code may conceal.
Once a user type in or click on an URL with objectionable keywords, URL keyword blocking
facility will decline the HTTP request to that web page thus can limit user’s access to the
website. You may imagine URL Content Filter as a well-trained convenience-store clerk
who won’t sell adult magazines to teenagers. At office, URL Content Filter can also provide
a job-related only environment hence to increase the employee work efficiency. How can
URL Content Filter work better than traditional firewall in the field of filtering? Because it
checks the URL strings or some of HTTP data hiding in the payload of TCP packets while
legacy firewall inspects packets based on the fields of TCP/IP headers only.
On the other hand, Vigor router can prevent user from accidentally downloading malicious
codes from web pages. It’s very common that malicious codes conceal in the executable
objects, such as ActiveX, Java Applet, compressed files, and other executable files. Once
downloading these types of files from websites, you may risk bringing threat to your system.
For example, an ActiveX control object is usually used for providing interactive web feature.
If malicious code hides inside, it may occupy user’s system.

Web Filtering
We all know that the content on the Internet just like other types of media may be
inappropriate sometimes. As a responsible parent or employer, you should protect those in
your trust against the hazards. With Web filtering service of the Vigor router, you can protect
your business from common primary threats, such as productivity, legal liability, network and
security threats. For parents, you can protect your children from viewing adult websites or
chat rooms.
Once you have activated your Web Filtering service in Vigor router and chosen the categories
of website you wish to restrict, each URL address requested (e.g.www.bbc.co.uk) will be
checked against our server database, powered by SurfControl. The database covering over 70
languages and 200 countries, over 1 billion Web pages divided into 40 easy-to-understand
categories. This database is updated as frequent as daily by a global team of Internet
researchers. The server will look up the URL and return a category to your router. Your Vigor
router will then decide whether to allow access to this site according to the categories you have
selected. Please note that this action will not introduce any delay in your Web surfing because
each of multiple load balanced database servers can handle millions of requests for
categorization.
Below shows the menu items for Firewall.
3.4.2 General Setup

General Setup allows you to adjust settings of IP Filter and common options. Here you can
enable or disable the Call Filter or Data Filter. Under some circumstance, your filter set can
be linked to work in a serial manner. So here you assign the Start Filter Set only. Also you
can configure the Log Flag settings, Apply IP filter to VPN incoming packets, and Accept
incoming fragmented UDP packets.
Click Firewall and click General Setup to open the general setup page.

Call Filter Check Enable to activate the Call Filter function. Assign a start
filter set for the Call Filter.

Some on-line games (for example: Half Life) will use lots of fragmented UDP packets to
transfer game data. Instinctively as a secure firewall, Vigor router will reject these
fragmented packets to prevent attack unless you enable “Accept Incoming Fragmented
UDP Packets”. By checking this box, you can play these kinds of on-line games. If security
concern is in higher priority, you cannot enable “Accept Incoming Fragmented UDP
Packets”.

filter or data filter. You may preset 12 call filters and data filters in Filter Setup and even
link them in a serial manner. Each filter set is composed by 7 filter rules, which can be
further defined. After that, in General Setup you may specify one set for call filter and one
set for data filter to execute first.

3.4.4 DoS Defense
As a sub-functionality of IP Filter/Firewall, there are 15 types of detect/ defense function in
the DoS Defense setup. The DoS Defense functionality is disabled for default.
Click Firewall and click DoS Defense to open the setup page.
Enable Dos Defense Check the box to activate the DoS Defense Functionality.
Enable SYN flood Check the box to activate the SYN flood defense function. Once
defense detecting the Threshold of the TCP SYN packets from the Internet
has exceeded the defined value, the Vigor router will start to
randomly discard the subsequent TCP SYN packets for a period
defined in Timeout. The goal for this is prevent the TCP SYN
packets’ attempt to exhaust the limited-resource of Vigor router.
By default, the threshold and timeout values are set to 50 packets
per second and 10 seconds, respectively.
Enable UDP flood Check the box to activate the UDP flood defense function. Once
defense detecting the Threshold of the UDP packets from the Internet has
exceeded the defined value, the Vigor router will start to randomly
discard the subsequent UDP packets for a period defined in
Timeout. The default setting for threshold and timeout are 150
packets per second and 10 seconds, respectively.
Enable ICMP flood Check the box to activate the ICMP flood defense function. Similar
defense to the UDP flood defense function, once if the Threshold of ICMP
packets from Internet has exceeded the defined value, the router
will discard the ICMP echo requests coming from the Internet. The
default setting for threshold and timeout are 50 packets per second
and 10 seconds, respectively.
Enable PortScan Port Scan attacks the Vigor router by sending lots of packets to
detection many ports in an attempt to find ignorant services would respond.
Check the box to activate the Port Scan detection. Whenever
detecting this malicious exploration behavior by monitoring the

port-scanning Threshold rate, the Vigor router will send out a
warning. By default, the Vigor router sets the threshold as 150
packets per second.
Block IP options Check the box to activate the Block IP options function. The Vigor
router will ignore any IP packets with IP option field in the
datagram header. The reason for limitation is IP option appears to
be a vulnerability of the security for the LAN because it will carry
significant information, such as security, TCC (closed user group)
parameters, a series of Internet addresses, routing messages...etc.
An eavesdropper outside might learn the details of your private
networks.
Block Land Check the box to enforce the Vigor router to defense the Land
attacks. The Land attack combines the SYN attack technology with
IP spoofing. A Land attack occurs when an attacker sends spoofed
SYN packets with the identical source and destination addresses, as
well as the port number to victims.
Block Smurf Check the box to activate the Block Smurf function. The Vigor
router will ignore any broadcasting ICMP echo request.
Block trace router Check the box to enforce the Vigor router not to forward any trace
route packets.
Block SYN fragment Check the box to activate the Block SYN fragment function. The
Vigor router will drop any packets having SYN flag and more
fragment bit set.
Block Fraggle Attack Check the box to activate the Block fraggle Attack function. Any
broadcast UDP packets received from the Internet is blocked.
Activating the DoS/DDoS defense functionality might block some
legal packets. For example, when you activate the fraggle attack
defense, all broadcast UDP packets coming from the Internet are
blocked. Therefore, the RIP packets from the Internet might be
dropped.
Block TCP flag scan Check the box to activate the Block TCP flag scan function. Any
TCP packet with anomaly flag setting is dropped. Those scanning
activities include no flag scan, FIN without ACK scan, SYN FINscan,
Xmas scan and full Xmas scan.
Block Tear Drop Check the box to activate the Block Tear Drop function. Many
machines may crash when receiving ICMP datagrams (packets) that
exceed the maximum length. To avoid this type of attack, the Vigor
router is designed to be capable of discarding any fragmented ICMP
packets with a length greater than 1024 octets.
Block Ping of Death Check the box to activate the Block Ping of Death function. This
attack involves the perpetrator sending overlapping packets to the
target hosts so that those target hosts will hang once they
re-construct the packets. The Vigor routers will block any packets
realizing this attacking activity.
Block ICMP Fragment Check the box to activate the Block ICMP fragment function. Any
ICMP packets with more fragment bit set are dropped.
Block Land Check the box to enforce the Vigor router to defense the Land
attacks. The Land attack combines the SYN attack technology with
IP spoofing. A Land attack occurs when an attacker sends spoofed

SYN packets with the identical source and destination addresses, as
well as the port number to victims.
Block Unknown Check the box to activate the Block Unknown Protocol function.
Protocol Individual IP packet has a protocol field in the datagram header to
indicate the protocol type running over the upper layer. However,
the protocol types greater than 100 are reserved and undefined at
this time. Therefore, the router should have ability to detect and
reject this kind of packets.
Warning Messages We provide Syslog function for user to retrieve message from Vigor
router. The user, as a Syslog Server, shall receive the report sending
from Vigor router which is a Syslog Client.
All the warning messages related to DoS defense will be sent to user
and user can review it through Syslog daemon. Look for the
keyword DoS in the message, followed by a name to indicate what
kind of attacks is detected.
3.4.5 URL Content Filter

Based on the list of user defined keywords, the URL Content Filter facility in Vigor router
inspects the URL string in every outgoing HTTP request. No matter the URL string is found
full or partial matched with a keyword, the Vigor router will block the associated HTTP
connection.

For example, if you add key words such as “sex”, Vigor router will limit web access to web
sites or web pages such as “www.sex.com”, ”www.backdoor.net/images/sex/p_386.html”.
Or you may simply specify the full or partial URL such as “www.sex.com” or “sex.com”.
Also the Vigor router will discard any request that tries to retrieve the malicious code.
Click Firewall and click URL Content Filter to open the setup page.
Enable URL Access Check the box to activate URL Access Control.
Control
Black List (block those Click this button to restrict accessing into the corresponding
matching keyword) webpage with the keywords listed on the box below.
White List (pass those Click this button to allow accessing into the corresponding
matching keyword) webpage with the keywords listed on the box below.
Keyword The Vigor router provides 8 frames for users to define keywords
and each frame supports multiple keywords. The keyword could be
a noun, a partial noun, or a complete URL string. Multiple
keywords within a frame are separated by space, comma, or
semicolon. In addition, the maximal length of each frame is
32-character long. After specifying keywords, the Vigor router will
decline the connection request to the website whose URL string
matched to any user-defined keyword. It should be noticed that the
more simplified the blocking keyword list, the more efficiently the
Vigor router perform.
Prevent web access Check the box to deny any web surfing activity using IP address,

from IP address such as http://202.6.3.2. The reason for this is to prevent someone
dodges the URL Access Control.
You must clear your browser cache first so that the URL content
filtering facility operates properly on a web page that you visited
before.
Enable Restrict Web Check the box to activate the function.
Feature Java - Check the checkbox to activate the Block Java object
function. The Vigor router will discard the Java objects from the
Internet.
ActiveX - Check the box to activate the Block ActiveX object
function. Any ActiveX object from the Internet will be refused.
Compressed file - Check the box to activate the Block Compressed
file function to prevent someone from downloading any
compressed file. The following list shows the types of compressed
files that can be blocked by the Vigor router. .
zip, rar, .arj, .ace, .cab, .sit
Executable file - Check the box to reject any downloading
behavior of the executable file from the Internet.
.exe, .com, .scr, .pif, .bas, .bat, .inf, .reg
Cookie - Check the box to filter out the cookie transmission from
inside to outside world to protect the local user's privacy.
Proxy - Check the box to reject any proxy transmission. To control
efficiently the limited-bandwidth usage, it will be of great value to
provide the blocking mechanism that filters out the multimedia
files downloading from web pages. Accordingly, files with the
following extensions will be blocked by the Vigor router.
.mov .mp3 .rm .ra .au .wmv
.wav .asf .mpg .mpeg .avi .ram
Enable Excepting Four entries are available for users to specify some specific IP
Subnets addresses or subnets so that they can be free from the URL Access
Control. To enable an entry, click on the empty checkbox, named as
ACT, in front of the appropriate entry.
Time Schedule Specify what time should perform the URL content filtering
facility.

choose the proper CSM profile as the standard for the host(s) to follow.
3.6 Bandwidth Management

Below shows the menu items for Bandwidth Management.
3.6.1 Sessions Limit

A PC with private IP address can access to the Internet via NAT router. The router will
generate the records of NAT sessions for such connection. The P2P (Peer to Peer)
applications (e.g., BitTorrent) always need many sessions for procession and also they will
occupy over resources which might result in important accesses impacted. To solve the
problem, you can use limit session to limit the session procession for specified Hosts.
In the Bandwidth Management menu, click Sessions Limit to open the web page.

To activate the function of limit session, simply click Enable and set the default session
limit.

3.6.3 Quality of Service

Deploying QoS (Quality of Service) management to guarantee that all applications receive
the service levels required and sufficient bandwidth to meet performance expectations is
indeed one important aspect of modern enterprise network.
One reason for QoS is that numerous TCP-based applications tend to continually increase
their transmission rate and consume all available bandwidth, which is called TCP slow start.
If other applications are not protected by QoS, it will detract much from their performance in
the overcrowded network. This is especially essential to those are low tolerant of loss, delay
or jitter (delay variation).
Another reason is due to congestions at network intersections where speeds of
interconnected circuits mismatch or traffic aggregates, packets will queue up and traffic can
be throttled back to a lower speed. If there’s no defined priority to specify which packets
should be discarded (or in another term “dropped”) from an overflowing queue, packets of
sensitive applications mentioned above might be the ones to drop off. How this will affect
application performance?
There are two components within Primary configuration of QoS deployment:
z Classification: Identifying low-latency or crucial applications and marking them for
high-priority service level enforcement throughout the network.
z Scheduling: Based on classification of service level to assign packets to queues and
associated service types
The basic QoS implementation in Vigor routers is to classify and schedule packets based on
the service type information in the IP header. For instance, to ensure the connection with the
headquarter, a teleworker may enforce an index of QoS Control to reserve bandwidth for
HTTPS connection while using lots of application at the same time.
One more larger-scale implementation of QoS network is to apply DSCP (Differentiated
Service Code Point) and IP Precedence disciplines at Layer 3. Compared with legacy IP
Precedence that uses Type of Service (ToS) field in the IP header to define 8 service classes,
DSCP is a successor creating 64 classes possible with backward IP Precedence compatibility.
In a QoS-enabled network, or Differentiated Service (DiffServ or DS) framework, a DS
domain owner should sign a Service License Agreement (SLA) with other DS domain
owners to define the service level provided toward traffic from different domains. Then each
DS node in these domains will perform the priority treatment. This is called
per-hop-behavior (PHB). The definition of PHB includes Expedited Forwarding (EF),
Assured Forwarding (AF), and Best Effort (BE). AF defines the four classes of delivery (or
forwarding) classes and three levels of drop precedence in each class.
Vigor routers as edge routers of DS domain shall check the marked DSCP value in the IP
header of bypassing traffic, thus to allocate certain amount of resource execute appropriate
policing, classification or scheduling. The core routers in the backbone will do the same
checking before executing treatments in order to ensure service-level consistency throughout
the whole QoS-enabled network.

However, each node may take different attitude toward packets with high priority marking
since it may bind with the business deal of SLA among different DS domain owners. It’s not
easy to achieve deterministic and consistent high-priority QoS traffic throughout the whole
network with merely Vigor router’s effort.

3.7 Applications
Below shows the menu items for Applications.
3.7.1 Dynamic DNS

The ISP often provides you with a dynamic IP address when you connect to the Internet via
your ISP. It means that the public IP address assigned to your router changes each time you
access the Internet. The Dynamic DNS feature lets you assign a domain name to a dynamic
WAN IP address. It allows the router to update its online WAN IP address mappings on the
specified Dynamic DNS server. Once the router is online, you will be able to use the
registered domain name to access the router or internal virtual servers from the Internet. It is
particularly helpful if you host a web server, FTP server, or other server behind the router.
Before you use the Dynamic DNS feature, you have to apply for free DDNS service to the
DDNS service providers. The router provides up to three accounts from three different
DDNS service providers. Basically, Vigor routers are compatible with the DDNS services
supplied by most popular DDNS service providers such as www.dyndns.org,
www.no-ip.com, www.dtdns.com, www.changeip.com, www.dynamic- nameserver.com.
You should visit their websites to register your own domain name for the router.

3.7.2 Schedule
The Vigor router has a built-in real time clock which can update itself manually or
automatically by means of Network Time Protocols (NTP). As a result, you can not only
schedule the router to dialup to the Internet at a specified time, but also restrict Internet
access to certain hours so that users can connect to the Internet only during certain hours, say,
business hours. The schedule is also applicable to other functions.
You have to set your time before set schedule. In System Maintenance>> Time and Date
menu, press Inquire Time button to set the Vigor router’s clock to current time of your PC.
The clock will reset once if you power down or reset the router. There is another way to set
up time. You can inquiry an NTP server (a time server) on the Internet to synchronize the
router’s clock. This method can only be applied when the WAN connection has been built
up.
Set to Factory Default Clear all profiles and recover to factory settings.
Index Click the number below Index to access into the setting page
of schedule.
Status Display if this schedule setting is active or inactive.
You can set up to 15 schedules. Then you can apply them to your Internet Access or VPN

idle timeout, the connection will be down and never up again
during the schedule.
Idle Timeout Specify the duration (or period) for the schedule.
How often -Specify how often the schedule will be applied
Once -The schedule will be applied just once
Weekdays -Specify which days in one week should perform
the schedule.
Example
Suppose you want to control the PPPoE Internet access connection to be always on (Force
On) from 9:00 to 18:00 for whole week. Other time the Internet access connection should be
disconnected (Force Down).
Office
Hour:
(Force On)
Mon - Sun 9:00 am to 6:00 pm
1. Make sure the PPPoE connection and Time Setup is working properly.
2. Configure the PPPoE always on from 9:00 to 18:00 for whole week.

3. Configure the Force Down from 18:00 to next day 9:00 for whole week.
4. Assign these two profiles to the PPPoE Internet access profile. Now, the PPPoE
Internet connection will follow the schedule order to perform Force On or Force
Down action according to the time plan that has been pre-defined in the schedule
profiles.
3.7.3 RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a security authentication
client/server protocol that supports authentication, authorization and accounting, which is
widely used by Internet service providers. It is the most common method of authenticating
and authorizing dial-up and tunneled network users.
The built-in RADIUS client feature enables the router to assist the remote dial-in user or a
wireless station and the RADIUS server in performing mutual authentication. It enables
centralized remote access authentication for network management.
Enable Check to enable RADIUS client feature

Server IP Address Enter the IP address of RADIUS server
Destination Port The UDP port number that the RADIUS server is using. The
default value is 1812 , based on RFC 2138.
Shared Secret The RADIUS server and client share a secret that is used to
authenticate the messages sent between them. Both sides must
be configured to use the same shared secret.
Re-type Shared Secret Re-type the Shared Secret for confirmation.

3.7.4 UPnP
The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol is supported to bring to network connected
devices the ease of installation and configuration which is already available for directly
connected PC peripherals with the existing Windows 'Plug and Play' system. For NAT
routers, the major feature of UPnP on the router is “NAT Traversal”. This enables
applications inside the firewall to automatically open the ports that they need to pass through
a router. It is more reliable than requiring a router to work out by itself which ports need to
be opened. Further, the user does not have to manually set up port mappings or a DMZ.
UPnP is available on Windows XP and the router provides the associated support for MSN
Messenger to allow full use of the voice, video and messaging features.
Enable UPNP Service Accordingly, you can enable either the Connection Control
Service or Connection Status Service.
After setting Enable UPNP Service setting, an icon of IP Broadband Connection on
Router on Windows XP/Network Connections will appear. The connection status and
control status will be able to be activated. The NAT Traversal of UPnP enables the
multimedia features of your applications to operate. This has to manually set up port
mappings or use other similar methods. The screenshots below show examples of this
facility.
The UPnP facility on the router enables UPnP aware applications such as MSN Messenger to
discover what are behind a NAT router. The application will also learn the external IP
address and configure port mappings on the router. Subsequently, such a facility forwards
packets from the external ports of the router to the internal ports used by the application.

The reminder as regards concern about Firewall and UPnP
Can't work with Firewall Software
Enabling firewall applications on your PC may cause the UPnP function not
working properly. This is because these applications will block the accessing
ability of some network ports.
Security Considerations
Activating the UPnP function on your network may incur some security threats.
You should consider carefully these risks before activating the UPnP function.
¾ Some Microsoft operating systems have found out the UPnP weaknesses and
hence you need to ensure that you have applied the latest service packs and
patches.
¾ Non-privileged users can control some router functions, including removing
and adding port mappings.
The UPnP function dynamically adds port mappings on behalf of some
UPnP-aware applications. When the applications terminate abnormally, these
mappings may not be removed.
3.7.5 Wake On LAN

A PC client on LAN can be woken up by the router it connects. When a user wants to wake
up a specified PC through the router, he/she must type correct MAC address of the specified
PC on this web page of Wake On LAN of this router.
In addition, such PC must have installed a network card supporting WOL function. By the
way, WOL function must be set as “Enable” on the BIOS setting.

Wake by Two types provide for you to wake up the binded IP. If you
choose Wake by MAC Address, you have to type the correct
MAC address of the host in MAC Address boxes. If you
choose Wake by IP Address, you have to choose the correct IP
address.
IP Address The IP addresses that have been configured in

Firewall>>Bind IP to MAC will be shown in this drop down
list. Choose the IP address from the drop down list that you
want to wake up.
MAC Address Type any one of the MAC address of the binded PCs.
Wake Up Click this button to wake up the selected IP. See the following
figure. The result will be shown on the box.

3.8 VPN and Remote Access
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is the extension of a private network that encompasses
links across shared or public networks like the Internet. In short, by VPN technology, you
can send data between two computers across a shared or public network in a manner that
emulates the properties of a point-to-point private link.
Below shows the menu items for VPN and Remote Access.
Note: This feature can be applied for ISDN remote dial-in or ISDN LAN-to-LAN
connection in i series models.
3.8.1 Remote Access Control
Enable the necessary VPN service as you need. If you intend to run a VPN server inside your
LAN, you should disable the VPN service of Vigor Router to allow VPN tunnel pass through,
as well as the appropriate NAT settings, such as DMZ or open port.
The Vigor router will not accept the ISDN dial-in connection if the box of Enable ISDN
Dial-in is not checked.
3.8.2 PPP General Setup
This submenu only applies to PPP-related VPN connections, such as PPTP, L2TP, L2TP
over IPSec.

Dial-In PPP Select this option to force the router to authenticate dial-in
Authentication PAP Only users with the PAP protocol.
PAP or CHAP Selecting this option means the router will attempt to
authenticate dial-in users with the CHAP protocol first. If the
dial-in user does not support this protocol, it will fall back to
use the PAP protocol for authentication.
Dial-In PPP Encryption This option represents that the MPPE encryption method will
(MPPE Optional MPPE be optionally employed in the router for the remote dial-in
user. If the remote dial-in user does not support the MPPE
encryption algorithm, the router will transmit “no MPPE
encrypted packets”. Otherwise, the MPPE encryption scheme
will be used to encrypt the data.
Require MPPE (40/128bits) - Selecting this option will force

the router to encrypt packets by using the MPPE encryption
algorithm. In addition, the remote dial-in user will use 40-bit
to perform encryption prior to using 128-bit for encryption.
In other words, if 128-bit MPPE encryption method is not
available, then 40-bit encryption scheme will be applied to
encrypt the data.
Maximum MPPE - This option indicates that the router will
use the MPPE encryption scheme with maximum bits
(128-bit) to encrypt the data.
Mutual Authentication The Mutual Authentication function is mainly used to
(PAP) communicate with other routers or clients who need
bi-directional authentication in order to provide stronger
security, for example, Cisco routers. So you should enable
this function when your peer router requires mutual
authentication. You should further specify the User Name
and Password of the mutual authentication peer.
Start IP Address Enter a start IP address for the dial-in PPP connection. You
should choose an IP address from the local private network.
For example, if the local private network is
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, you could choose 192.168.1.200
as the Start IP Address. But, you have to notice that the first
two IP addresses of 192.168.1.200 and 192.168.1.201 are
reserved for ISDN remote dial-in user.

3.8.3 IPSec General Setup
In IPSec General Setup, there are two major parts of configuration.
There are two phases of IPSec.
¾ Phase 1: negotiation of IKE parameters including encryption, hash, Diffie-Hellman
parameter values, and lifetime to protect the following IKE exchange, authentication of
both peers using either a Pre-Shared Key or Digital Signature (x.509). The peer that
starts the negotiation proposes all its policies to the remote peer and then remote peer
tries to find a highest-priority match with its policies. Eventually to set up a secure
tunnel for IKE Phase 2.
¾ Phase 2: negotiation IPSec security methods including Authentication Header (AH) or
Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) for the following IKE exchange and mutual
examination of the secure tunnel establishment.
There are two encapsulation methods used in IPSec, Transport and Tunnel. The Transport
mode will add the AH/ESP payload and use original IP header to encapsulate the data
payload only. It can just apply to local packet, e.g., L2TP over IPSec. The Tunnel mode will
not only add the AH/ESP payload but also use a new IP header (Tunneled IP header) to
encapsulate the whole original IP packet.
Authentication Header (AH) provides data authentication and integrity for IP packets passed
between VPN peers. This is achieved by a keyed one-way hash function to the packet to
create a message digest. This digest will be put in the AH and transmitted along with packets.
On the receiving side, the peer will perform the same one-way hash on the packet and
compare the value with the one in the AH it receives.
Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) is a security protocol that provides data
confidentiality and protection with optional authentication and replay detection service.
IKE Authentication Method This usually applies to those are remote dial-in user or node
(LAN-to-LAN) which uses dynamic IP address and
IPSec-related VPN connections such as L2TP over IPSec
and IPSec tunnel.
Pre-Shared Key -Currently only support Pre-Shared Key
authentication.
Pre-Shared Key- Specify a key for IKE authentication
Re-type Pre-Shared Key-Confirm the pre-shared key.
IPSec Security Method Medium - Authentication Header (AH) means data will be
authenticated, but not be encrypted. By default, this option is

active.
High - Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) means
payload (data) will be encrypted and authenticated. You may
select encryption algorithm from Data Encryption Standard
(DES), Triple DES (3DES), and AES.
3.8.4 IPSec Peer Identity
To use digital certificate for peer authentication in either LAN-to-LAN connection or
Remote User Dial-In connection, here you may edit a table of peer certificate for selection.
As shown below, the router provides 200 entries of digital certificates for peer dial-in users.

3.8.5 Remote Dial-in User
You can manage remote access by maintaining a table of remote user profile, so that users
can be authenticated to dial-in via ISDN or build the VPN connection. You may set
parameters including specified connection peer ID, connection type (ISDN Dial-In
connection, VPN connection - including PPTP, IPSec Tunnel, and L2TP by itself or over
IPSec) and corresponding security methods, etc.
The router provides 200 access accounts for dial-in users. Besides, you can extend the user
accounts to the RADIUS server through the built-in RADIUS client function. The following
figure shows the summary table.
Set to Factory Default Click to clear all indexes.

Always On or Idle Timeout Always On-Check to enable router always keep VPN
connection.

Idle Timeout: The default value is 300 seconds. If the
connection has been idled over the value, the router will drop
the connection.
Enable PING to keep alive This function is to help the router to determine the status of
IPSec VPN connection, especially useful in the case of
abnormal VPN IPSec tunnel disruption. For details, please
refer to the note below. Check to enable the transmission of
PING packets to a specified IP address.
PING to the IP Enter the IP address of the remote host that located at the
other-end of the VPN tunnel.
Enable PING to Keep Alive is used to handle abnormal
IPSec VPN connection disruption. It will help to provide
the state of a VPN connection for router’s judgment of
redial.
Normally, if any one of VPN peers wants to disconnect
the connection, it should follow a serial of packet
exchange procedure to inform each other. However, if the
remote peer disconnect without notice, Vigor router will
by no where to know this situation. To resolve this
dilemma, by continuously sending PING packets to the
remote host, the Vigor router can know the true existence
of this VPN connection and react accordingly. This is
independent of DPD (dead peer detection).
ISDN Build ISDN LAN-to-LAN connection to remote network. You
should set up Link Type and identity like User Name and
Password for the authentication of remote server. You can
further set up Callback (CBCP) function below. This feature is
useful for i model only.

different purpose. Link Disable disables the ISDN dial-out
function. Dialup 64Kbps allows you to use one ISDN B
channel for Internet access. Dialup 128Kbps allows you to
use both ISDN B channels for Internet access. Dialup BOD
(for detailed information of configuration, please refer to
section 3.10.5) stands for bandwidth-on-demand. The router
will use only one B channel in low traffic situations. Once the
single B channel bandwidth is fully used, the other B channel
will be activated automatically through the dialup. For more
detailed BOD parameter settings, please refer to the section of
Call Control.
PPP Authentication - PAP only allows you to configure the
PPP session to use the PAP protocol to negotiate the username
and password with the ISP. PAP or CHAP is to configure the
PPP session to use the PAP or CHAP protocols to negotiate
the username and password with the ISP.
Idle Timeout - Idle timeout means the router will be
disconnect after being idle for a preset amount of time. The
default is 180 seconds. If you set the time to 0, the ISDN
connection to the ISP will always remain on.

IP Address Assignment In most environments, you should not change these settings as
Method (IPCP) most ISPs provide a dynamic IP address for the router when it
connects to the ISP. If your ISP provides a fixed IP address,
check Yes and enter the IP address in the field of Fixed IP
Address.
Select Dialing to Dual ISPs if you have more than one ISP. You will be able to dial to both
ISPs at the same time. This is mainly for those ISPs that do not support Multiple-Link PPP
(ML-PPP). In such cases, dialing to two ISPs can increase the bandwidth utilization of the
ISDN channels to 128kbps data speed.
Common Settings Enable Dual ISPs Function - Check to enable the Dual ISPs
function. Require ISP Callback (CBCP) -If your ISP
supports the callback function, check this box to activate the

link.
Now, the system will guide you to click Dial ISDN. Wait for a moment after clicking the
dial link. Then, a successful ISDN connection will be shown as the following.

3.10.4 Virtual TA
Virtual TA means the local hosts or PCs in the network that uses popular CAPI-based
software such as RVS-COM or BVRP to access the router as a local ISDN TA for sending or
receiving FAX messages over the ISDN line. Basically, it is a client/server network model.
The built-in Virtual TA server handles the establishment and release of connections. The
Virtual TA client, which is installed on the local hosts or PCs, creates a CAPI-based driver to
relay all CAPI messages between the applications and the router CAPI module. Before
describing the configuration of Virtual TA in the Vigor routers, please notice the following
limitations.
As depicted in the above application scenario, the Virtual TA client can make an outgoing
call or accept an incoming call to/from a peer FAX machine or ISDN TA, etc. Click the
Virtual TA(Remote CAPI) Setup tab in the Quick Setup field to configure the Virtual TA
features.
Before describing the configuration of Virtual TA in the Vigor routers, please heed the
following limitations.
z The Virtual TA client only supports MicrosoftTM Windows 98/SE/2000/XP platforms.
z The Virtual TA client only supports the CAPI 2.0 protocol and has no built-in FAX
engine.

z One ISDN BRI interface has two B channels. The maximum number of active clients is
also 2.
z Before you configure the Virtual TA, you must set the correct country code in ISDN
Setup.
Virtual TA Server Enable - Select it to activate the server.

Disable - Select it to deactivate the server. All Virtual TA
applications will be terminated.
Virtual TA User Profiles Username - Enter the username of a specific client.
Password - Enter the password of a specific client.
MSN 1/2/3 - MSN stands for Multiple Subscriber Number. It
means you can apply to more than one ISDN lines number over
a single subscribed line. Note that the service must be acquired
from your telecom. Specify the MSN numbers for a specific
client. If you have no MSN services, leave this field blank.
Active - Check it to enable the client to access the server.
Install a Virtual TA Client

1. Insert the CD-ROM bundled with your Vigor router. Find VTA Client tool in the
Utility menu and click on the Install button.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions of the installer. The last step will ask you to restart
your computer. Click OK to restart your computer.
3. After the computer restarts, you will see a VT icon in the taskbar (usually in the
bottom-right of the screen, near the clock) as shown below.
When the icon text is GREEN, the Virtual TA client is connected to the Virtual TA server and
you can launch your CAPI-based software to use the client to access the router. If the icon
text is RED, it means the client has lost the connection to the server. This time, please check
the physical Ethernet connection.
Configure a Virtual TA Client/ Server

Since the Virtual TA application is a client/server network model, you must configure it on
both ends to run properly your Virtual TA application.

By default, the Virtual TA server is enabled and the Username/Password fields are left blank.
Any Virtual TA client may login to the server. Once a single Username/Password field has
been filled in, the Virtual TA server will only allow clients with a valid Username/Password
to login. The screen of Virtual TA configuration is presented below.
User Profile
Note that creating a single user access account will limit the access to the Virtual TA server
to only the specified account holders.
Assume you did not acquire any MSN service from your ISDN network provider.
On the server - Click Virtual TA (Remote CAPI) Setup link, and fill in the Username and
Password fields. Check the Active box to enable the account.
On the client - Right-click the mouse on the VT icon. The following pop-up menu will be
shown.
Click the Virtual TA Login tab to launch the login box.
Enter the Username/Password and then click OK. After a short time, the VT icon text will
turn green.
MSN Configuration
If you have applied to an MSN number service, the Virtual TA server can assign which client
has the specified MSN number. When an incoming call arrives, the server will inform the
appropriate client. Now we set an example to describe the configuration of the MSN number.
Suppose that you could assign the MSN number 123 to the client “alan”.

Type the specified MSN number in the CAPI-based software. When the Virtual TA server
sends an alert signal to the specified Virtual TA client, the CAPI-based software will also
receive the action, the software will not accept the incoming call.
3.10.5 Call Control
Some applications require that the router (only for the ISDN models) be remotely activated,
or be able to dial up to the ISP via the ISDN interface. Vigor routers provide this feature by
allowing user to make a phone call to the router and then ask it to dial up to the ISP.
Accordingly, a teleworker can access the remote network to retrieve resources. Of course, a
fixed IP address is required for WAN connection and some internal network resource has to
be exposed for remote users, such as FTP, WWW.
Call Control Setup Dial Retry - It specifies the dial retry counts per triggered
packet. A triggered packet is the packet whose destination is
outside the local network. The default setting is no dial retry.
If set to 5, for each triggered packet, the router will dial 5
times until it is connected to the ISP or remote access router.
Dial Delay Interval - It specifies the interval between dialup
retries. By default, the interval is 0 second.
Remote Activation – It can help users who would like to
access the server which is off the Internet in the head office.
To remotely make the server to be available on the Internet, i.e.
make the router in the head office activating its Internet access
either by dialing-up or starting broadband connection, users
can make a regular phone call (the number is set in the
Remote Activation field) to the router as signaling it for
activation. The phone call will be soon disconnected once the
router is on line.
Note that Dialing to a Single ISP should be pre-configured
properly.
Basic Setup Link Type - Because ISDN has two B channels (64Kbps/per
channel), you can specify whether you would like to have

single B channel, two B channels or BOD (Bandwidth on
Demand). Four options are available: Link Disable, Dialup
64Kbps, Dialup 128Kbps, Dialup BOD.
PPP Authentication - It specifies the PPP authentication

method for PPP/MP connections. Normally you can set it to
PAP/CHAP for better compatibility.
TCP Header Compression - VJ Compression: It is used for
TCP/IP protocol header compression. Normally it is set to Yes
to improve bandwidth utilization.
Idle Timeout - Because our IDSN link type is Dial On
Demand, the connection will be initiated only when needed.
Bandwidth-On-Demand Bandwidth-On-Demand is for Multiple-Link PPP \(ML-PPP
(BOD) Setup or MP). The parameters are only applied when you set the
Link Type to Dialup BOD. The ISDN usually use one B
channel to access the Internet or remote network when you
choose the Dialup BOD link type. The router will use the
parameters here to decide on when you activate/drop the
additional B channel. Note that cps (characters-per-second)
measures the total link utilization.
High Water Mark and High Water Time - These
parameters specify the situation in which the second channel
will be activated. With the first connected channel, if its
utilization exceeds the High Water Mark and such a channel
is being used over the High Water Time, the additional
channel will be activated. Thus, the total link speed will be
128kbps (two B channels).
Low Water Mark and Low Water Time - These parameters
specify the situation in which the second channel will be
dropped. In terms of the two B channels, if their utilization is
under the Low Water Mark and these two channels are being
used over the High Water Time, the additional channel will be
dropped. As a result, the total link speed will be 64kbps (one
B channel).

3.11 Wireless LAN
This function is used for G models only.
3.11.1 Basic Concepts
Over recent years, the market for wireless communications has enjoyed tremendous growth.
Wireless technology now reaches or is capable of reaching virtually every location on the
surface of the earth. Hundreds of millions of people exchange information every day via
wireless communication products. The Vigor G model, a.k.a. Vigor wireless router, is
designed for maximum flexibility and efficiency of a small office/home. Any authorized
staff can bring a built-in WLAN client PDA or notebook into a meeting room for conference
without laying a clot of LAN cable or drilling holes everywhere. Wireless LAN enables high
mobility so WLAN users can simultaneously access all LAN facilities just like on a wired
LAN as well as Internet access.
The Vigor wireless routers are equipped with a wireless LAN interface compliant with the
standard IEEE 802.11g protocol. To boost its performance further, the Vigor Router is also
loaded with advanced wireless technology Super G TM to lift up data rate up to 108 Mbps*.
Hence, you can finally smoothly enjoy stream music and video.
Note: * The actual data throughput will vary according to the network conditions
and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, network
overhead and building materials.
In an Infrastructure Mode of wireless network, Vigor wireless router plays a role as an
Access Point (AP) connecting to lots of wireless clients or Stations (STA). All the STAs will
share the same Internet connection via Vigor wireless router. The General Settings will set
up the information of this wireless network, including its SSID as identification, located
channel etc.
Security Overview
Real-time Hardware Encryption: Vigor Router is equipped with a hardware AES
encryption engine so it can apply the highest protection to your data without influencing user
experience.
Complete Security Standard Selection: To ensure the security and privacy of your wireless
communication, we provide several prevailing standards on market.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via
radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys
and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys.
WPA(Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is
separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK),
and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.
In WPA-Personal, a pre-defined key is used for encryption during data transmission. WPA
applies Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption while WPA2 applies
AES. The WPA-Enterprise combines not only encryption but also authentication.
Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA for the most secure
connection. You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs.
No matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data
protection and /or privacy on your wireless network. The Vigor wireless router is very
flexible and can support multiple secure connections with both WEP and WPA at the same
time.
Example 1
Example 2

Example 3
Separate the Wireless and the Wired LAN- WLAN Isolation enables you to isolate your
wireless LAN from wired LAN for either quarantine or limit access reasons. To isolate
means neither of the parties can access each other. To elaborate an example for business use,
you may set up a wireless LAN for visitors only so they can connect to Internet without
hassle of the confidential information leakage. For a more flexible deployment, you may add
filters of MAC addresses to isolate users’ access from wired LAN.
Manage Wireless Stations - Station List will display all the station in your wireless
network and the status of their connection.
Below shows the menu items for Wireless LAN.

3.11.2 General Setup
By clicking the General Settings, a new web page will appear so that you could configure
the SSID and the wireless channel. Please refer to the following figure for more information.
Enable Wireless LAN Check the box to enable wireless function.

Mode Select an appropriate wireless mode.
Mixed (11b+11g+SuperG) - The radio can support
IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and SuperG protocols
simultaneously.
Mixed (11b+11g) - The radio can support both
IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g protocols simultaneously.
SuperG - The radio only supports SuperG.
11g only - The radio only supports IEEE802.11g.
11b only - The radio only supports IEEE802.11b.
Index(1-15) Set the wireless LAN to work at certain time interval

only. You may choose up to 4 schedules out of the 15
schedules pre-defined in Applications >> Schedule
setup. The default setting of this filed is blank and the
function will always work.
SSID The default SSID is "default". We suggest you change it
to a particular name. It is the identification of the wireless
LAN. SSID can be any text numbers or various special
characters.
Channel The channel of frequency of the wireless LAN. The
default channel is 6. You may switch channel if the

selected channel is under serious interference.
Hide SSID Check it to prevent from wireless sniffing and make it

harder for unauthorized clients or STAs to join your
wireless LAN. Depending on the wireless utility, the user
may only see the information except SSID or just cannot
see any thing about Vigor wireless router while site
surveying.
Long Preamble This option is to define the length of the sync field in an
802.11 packet. Most modern wireless network uses short
preamble with 56 bit sync filed instead of long preamble
with 128 bit sync field. However, some original 11b
wireless network devices only support long preamble.
Check it to use Long Preamble if needed to
communicate with this kind of devices.

3.11.3 Security

3.11.5 WDS
WDS means Wireless Distribution System. It is a protocol for connecting two access points
(AP) wirelessly. Usually, it can be used for the following application:
y Provide bridge traffic between two LANs through the air.

y Extend the coverage range of a WLAN.
To meet the above requirement, two WDS modes are implemented in Vigor router. One is
Bridge, the other is Repeater. Below shows the function of WDS-bridge interface:
The application for the WDS-Repeater mode is depicted as below:
The major difference between these two modes is that: while in Repeater mode, the packets
received from one peer AP can be repeated to another peer AP through WDS links. Yet in
Bridge mode, packets received from a WDS link will only be forwarded to local wired or
wireless hosts. In other words, only Repeater mode can do WDS-to-WDS packet forwarding.

In the following examples, hosts connected to Bridge 1 or 3 can communicate with hosts
connected to Bridge 2 through WDS links. However, hosts connected to Bridge 1 CANNOT
communicate with hosts connected to Bridge 3 through Bridge 2.
Click WDS from Wireless LAN menu. The following page will be shown.
Mode Choose the mode for WDS setting. Disable mode will not
invoke any WDS setting. Bridge mode is designed to fulfill
the first type of application. Repeater mode is for the second
one.

3. In Step 2. Connect to VPN Server, click Insert button to add a new entry.
If an IPSec-based service is selected as shown below,

You may further specify the method you use to get IP, the security method, and
authentication method. If the Pre-Shared Key is selected, it should be consistent with
the one set in VPN router.
If a PPP-based service is selected, you should further specify the remote VPN server IP
address, Username, Password, and encryption method. The User Name and Password
should be consistent with the one set up in the VPN router. To use default gateway on
remote network means that all the packets of remote host will be directed to VPN
server then forwarded to Internet. This will make the remote host seem to be working
in the enterprise network.

4. Click Connect button to build connection. When the connection is successful, you will

Assume a teleworker sometimes works at home and takes care of children. When working
time, he would use Vigor router at home to connect to the server in the headquater office
downtown via either HTTPS or VPN to check email and access internal database.
Meanwhile, children may chat on VoIP or Skype in the restroom.
1. Make sure the QoS Control on the left corner is checked. And select BOTH in
Direction.
2. Enter the Name of Index Class 1 by clicking Edit link. In this index, the user will set
reserve bandwidth for Email using protocol POP3 and SMTP.

3. Enter the Name of Index Class 2 by clicking Edit link. In this index, the user will set
reserve bandwidth for HTTPS. And click Basic button on the right.
4. Click Setup link for WAN1. Check Enable UDP Bandwidth Control on the bottom to
prevent enormous UDP traffic of VoIP influent other application.
5. If the worker has connected to the headquater using host to host VPN tunnel. (Please
refer to Chapter 3 VPN for detail instruction), he may set up an index for it. Enter the
Class Name of Index 3. In this index, he will set reserve bandwidth for 1 VPN tunnel.
6. Click edit to open a new window. First, check the ACT box. Then click SrcEdit to set a
worker’s subnet address. Click DestEdit to set headquarter’s subnet address. Leave
other fields and click OK.

4.4 LAN – Created by Using NAT
An example of default setting and the corresponding deployment are shown below. The
default Vigor router private IP address/Subnet Mask is 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0. The
built-in DHCP server is enabled so it assigns every local NATed host an IP address of
192.168.1.x starting from 192.168.1.10.
You can just set the settings wrapped inside the red rectangles to fit the request of NAT
usage.
To use another DHCP server in the network rather than the built-in one of Vigor Router, you
have to change the settings as show below.
