This section will describe how to set up the router using each of its networking functions.
Applications 18 Managing the router Using Menus This section describes the minimum configuration parameters required when setting up the router. Each of the configuration scenarios requires setting of operational parameters on the router. The built-in menu system of the router is used to configure the unit.
Applications 19 Conventions Throughout this section , router menu options are shown that are required for the various configuration choices. The appropriate menu options are shown in each instance in .
Applications 20 Basic Frame Relay Configuration North American routers are configured to have frame relay enabled as the default setting. With frame relay enabled, the router will communicate over WAN connections to other frame relay units via frame relay Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC).
Applications 21 Configuration: The default configuration for routers shipped outside North American is to have frame relay disabled. To run frame relay on these routers, it must first be enabled 7 Fra.
Applications 22 Auto Learning the Frame Relay Configuration The router is pre-configured to query the frame relay service to auto- learn the LMI type and the PVC DLCI numbers.
Applications 23 Manual Configuration - LMI Type The LMI Type option allows you to manually specify the type of Link Management Interface in use by the Frame Relay service provider for the Frame Relay service. When the LMI type is set to none, the router simply creates frame relay packets and sends them on the defined PVC’s.
Applications 24 “Quick Start” Frame Relay Since the router auto-learns the frame relay configuration, only a couple of parameters need to be configured before the unit is fully operational as an IP router for frame relay.
Applications 25 By default, PPP is disabled for each of the newly created remote site profiles. If PPP encapsulation is desired, for example to use security, the PPP encapsulation option should be set to “enabled”. By default, when PPP encapsulation is enabled multilink is also enabled.
Applications 26 Basic Leased Line Configuration routers shipped outside North America are configured to have a default setting as a leased line router. The router will operate as a PPP leased line bridge/router if the frame relay function is disabled.
Applications 27 Figure 2 - 2 Basic PPP Leased Line Configuration The following steps must be performed on the router unit. 7 Link Speed Location: Main Ä Configuration Ä WAN Set up Ä Link Set up Ä Link Speed The clock speed that the router will expect to receive from the DCE link device must be defined.
Applications 28 Bridge Connection. Once the link speeds have been configured, the router will attempt to establish the link connection to the remote site PPP router. The Bridge connection does not require any configuration for operation. IP Router Connection.
Applications 29 Should You Bridge or Route? When connecting two Local Area Networks together, the first question to ask is should I bridge or route? The decision to bridge or to route may be decided by how the existing networks have been already set up.
Applications 30 Configure as an Ethernet Bridge An Ethernet bridge intelligently forwards LAN traffic to remotely connected LANs across the Wide Area Network (WAN). Figure 2 - 3 Bridged Local Area Networks Ethernet bridges simply forward information based on Ethernet MAC addresses.
Applications 31 The router also is pre-configured as an IPX router. This means that if you wish to bridge IPX traffic instead of routing it, you must disable the IPX routing function of the router. Once IPX routing has been disabled, all IPX traffic will be bridged between partner bridges on the WAN.
Applications 32 The size of the subnet mask. defines the subnet mask by using the specified number to reserve a series of contiguous bit locations from the start of the entire IP address. These reserved bit locations are then used as the network portion of the IP address.
Applications 33 Configure as an Ethernet IP router An Ethernet IP router is used to intelligently route Internet Protocol (IP) LAN traffic to remotely connected LANs across the WAN. Figure 2 - 4 IP Routed Local Area Networks IP routers forward IP frames based upon their IP destination address and an internal routing table.
Applications 34 7 IP Address Location: Main Ä Configuration Ä LAN Set-up Ä LAN IP Set-up Ä IP Address / Subnet mask size The IP address consists of four 8-bit numbers and is represented by 4 fields separated by periods (“ . ”), where each field is specified by a decimal number (e.
Applications 35 Define an IP Default Gateway An IP default gateway is an IP router that is resident on the local IP network that this router is connected to and is used to route IP frames for destination networks that do not exist in the routing tables.
Applications 36 Define an IP Static Route Static IP routes may be defined when one specific router is to be used to reach a destination IP network. The static route will have precedence over all learned RIP routes even if the cost of the RIP learned routes is lower.
Applications 37 Define an IP Subnet Mask An IP network may be divided into smaller portions by a process called sub-netting. A subnet is specified using high end bits of the host field of the IP address for network addressing. This is done with a subnet mask.
Applications 38 Configuration: The mask size entered defines the size of the subnet mask from the start of the entire IP address. This allows subnet sizes from 0 to 24 bits. A subnet mask size of 8 in a class A address represents a subnet size of 0 or no subnetting performed.
Applications 39 less than or equal to 255, that is the maximum value of each 8-bit field. The IP address is first specified and then you will be prompted to enter the mask size. The mask size defines the subnet mask by using the specified number to reserve a series of contiguous bit locations from the start of the entire IP address.
Applications 40 Configure as an Ethernet IPX router The router is preconfigured to operate as an IPX router when installed in an IPX network. The router will learn the IPX network numbers from the local LAN and when the WAN connections are established, the router will route the IPX frames to the appropriate destination IPX network.
Applications 41 examined and looked up in the routing tables. Once the destination IPX address is found in the routing tables, the IPX router sends the IPX frame to the remote partner router that is connected to the appropriate remote IPX network.
Applications 42 Novell Servers in One Location Only Some Novell LAN installations require that a remote LAN that consists of only Novell IPX clients be connected to a central LAN that contains the Novell servers and some more clients.
Applications 43 7 IPX Frame Types Location: Main Ä Configuration Ä IPX Routing Set up Ä Configure LAN Nets Ä Ethernet-II Frames Ä RAW 802.3 Frames Ä IEEE 802.2 Frames Ä 802.2 SNAP Frames Define the appropriate IPX network number for the appropriate frame type.
Applications 44 PPP Link Configuration Overview A PPP (Point to Point Protocol) connection between two routers may use a number of Network Control Protocols (NCP) for communication. An IP router connection will use the Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) NCP for all IP communications.
Applications 45 remote site profile settings. The WAN IPX network number is defined with the IPX Net option in the remote site profile settings. Unnumbered Links An unnumbered link does not use network addressing on the WAN link.
Applications 46 Configure Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol The router uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to allow users in a small office environment to simply enable DHCP clients on their workstations and power them up to get their proper initialization.
Applications 47 devices attached to the DHCP Server to be set. The number of addresses to be assigned must also be specified to a maximum of 253. With the DHCP Services and IP Address Pool defined, devices may be attached to the network (up to the maximum specified) and they will be automatically configured.
Applications 48 Configure Network Address Translation (NAT) Support is provided for Network Address Translation (NAT). Network Address Translation is a technique which translates private IP addresses on a private network to valid global IP addresses for access to the Internet.
Applications 49 The Translation Type option allows you to use Network Address Port Translation. 7 Translation type Location: Main Ä Configuration Ä WAN Set up Ä Remote Site Set up Ä Edit Remote Si.
Applications 50 Configure PPP Security The router provides support for both PAP and CHAP PPP security authentication. An outgoing user name, PAP password , and CHAP secret are defined that the router will use when responding to an authentication request from a remote site PPP router.
Applications 51 7 Security Database Entry Location: Main Ä Configuration Ä WAN Set up Ä Edit Remote Site Ä Security Parameters Ä Incoming PAP Password Ä Incoming CHAP Secret Ä Outgoing User Nam.
Applications 52 Configure Firewall The router provides Firewall security for restricting access between any two networks connected through the router. Firewalls are set up on a per connection basis for the LAN and remote sites.
Applications 53 also wishes to allow all of the TCP traffic from the branch office network to have access to the head office. Anyone in the corporation may have unrestricted access to the Internet. The following steps must be performed on the router to set up the firewall support as desired.
Applications 54 designated servers list allows you to quickly setup a firewall entry without having to figure out TCP port values. Next, the LAN firewall is set up to restrict access to the LAN. The firewall option is set to “outbound” to have the LAN firewall filter traffic from the router.

57 3 - I NTRODUCTION TO F ILTERING The router provides programmable filtering which gives you the ability to control under what conditions Ethernet frames are forwarded to remote networks.
Introduction to Filtering 58 You may easily prevent stations on one segment from accessing all but a specific resource on the other segment; for this, “negative” filtering and the use of “Forward if Destination” would be appropriate.
Introduction to Filtering 59 The following operators are used in creating Pattern filters. - offset Used in pattern filters to determine the starting position to start the pattern checking. Example: 12-80 This filter pattern will match if the packet information starting at the 12 th octet equals the 80 of the filter pattern.
Introduction to Filtering 60 ( ) brackets Used in pattern filters to separate portions of filter patterns for specific operators. Example: 12-80&(14-24|14-32) This filter pattern will be checked in two operations.
Introduction to Filtering 61 Popular Filters S ome of the more commonly used pattern filters are shown here. Bridge Bridge pattern filters are applied to Ethernet frames that are bridged only. When the router is operating as a router, all routed frames will be unaffected by the bridge pattern filters.
Introduction to Filtering 62 Banyan Banyan (12-0BAD) (12-80C4) (12-80C5) IP Router IP router pattern filters are applied to IP Ethernet frames that are being routed. When the router is operating as an IP router, all IP routed frames will be checked against the defined IP router pattern filters.
