Basic Installation 12 BEC MX-200 User Manual CHAPTER 3: BASIC INSTALLATION The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Windows Vista / 7 / 8, Linux, Mac OS, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration. PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed or configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network. Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals. Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the MX-200. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation. Attention

Device Configuration Interface Setup – LAN 53 BEC MX-200 User Manual IP Address: Enter the specific IP. For example: 192.168.1.110. MAC Address: Enter the responding MAC. For example: 00:0A:F7:45:6D:ED When added, you can see the ones listed as showed below: IPv6 Parameters The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. Interface Address / Prefix Length: Enter a static LAN IPv6 address. If you are not sure what to do with this field, please leave it empty as if contains false information it could result in LAN devices not being able to access other IPv6 device. Router will take the same WAN’s prefix to LAN side if the field is empty. DHCPv6 Server There are two methods to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts, Stateless and Stateful. Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the client. Stateful configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful auto configuration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts. DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server. DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is
Device Configuration Interface Setup – LAN 54 BEC MX-200 User Manual available.  Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.  Stateful: If selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information from DHCPv6 server. Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4. End interface ID: enter the end interface ID. Leased Time (seconds): the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned. Router Advertisement: Check to Enable or Disable the Issue Router Advertisement feature. This feature is to send Router Advertisement messages periodically which would multicast the IPv6 Prefix information (similar to v4 network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the field is enabled. We suggest enabling this field. Click Save to apply settings.

For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires, instead of using DMZ. As doing so will result in all connections from the WAN attempt to access to your public IP of the DMZ PC specified. If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will hence be invalid. If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router. Attention

Device Configuration VPN – IPSec 78 BEC MX-200 User Manual VPN A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a private network that interconnects remote (and often geographically separate) networks through primarily public communication infrastructures such as the Internet. VPNs provide security through tunneling protocols and security procedures such as encryption. For example, a VPN could be used to securely connect the branch offices of an organization to a Headquarter office network through the public Internet. MX-200 supports IPSec, PPTP, L2TP, GRE, and OpenVPN. IPSec Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a protocol suite for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPSec also includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPSec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite. It can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). A total of 8 IPSec tunnels can be added. Click Add New Connection to create a new IPSec profile.

Device Configuration VPN – IPSec 80 BEC MX-200 User Manual IPSec Phase 1(IKE) IKE Mode: IKE, Internet Key Exchange, is the mechanism to negotiate and exchange parameters and keys between IPSec peers to establish security associations(SA). Select Main or Aggressive mode. Pre-Shared Key: This is for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, a string from 4 to 128 characters. Both sides should use the same key. IKE is used to establish a shared security policy and authenticated keys for services (such as IPSec) that require a key. Before any IPSec traffic can be passed, each router must be able to verify the identity of its peer. This can be done by manually entering the pre-shared key into both sides (router or hosts). Local ID Type / Remote ID Type: When the mode of IKE is aggressive, Local and Remote peers can be identified by other IDs. IDContent: Enter IDContent the name you want to identify when the Local and Remote Type are Domain Name; Enter IDContent IP address you want to identify when the Local and Remote Type are IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6 supported). IKE Proposal & Encryption Algorithm: Select the encryption algorithm from the drop-down menu. There are several options: DES and AES (128, 192 and 256). 3DES and AES are more powerful but increase latency.  DES: Stands for Data Encryption Standard, it uses 56 bits as an encryption method.  3DES: Stands for Triple Data Encryption Standard, it uses 168 (56*3) bits as an encryption method.  AES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as encryption method. Authentication Algorithm: Authentication establishes the integrity of the datagram and ensures it is not tampered with in transmission. There are 3 options: Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA1, SHA256). SHA1 is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5. However, it is slower.  MD5: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128−bit hash.  SHA1: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160−bit hash. Diffie-Hellman Group: It is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet).

Perfect Forward Secrecy: It is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet). MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups. IPSec SA Lifetime SA Lifetime: Specify the number of minutes that a Security Association (SA) will stay active before new encryption and authentication key will be exchanged. There are two kinds of SAs, IKE and IPSec. IKE negotiates and establishes SA on behalf of IPSec, an IKE SA is used by IKE.  Phase 1 (IKE): To issue an initial connection request for a new VPN tunnel. The range can be from 5 to 15,000 minutes, and the default is 480 minutes.  Phase 2 (IPSec): To negotiate and establish secure authentication. The range can be from 5 to 15,000 minutes, and the default is 60 minutes. A short SA time increases security by forcing the two parties to update the keys. However, every time the VPN tunnel re-negotiates, access through the tunnel will be temporarily disconnected. IPSec Connection Keep Alive Keep Alive:  None: Disable. The system will not detect remote IPSec peer is still alive or lost. The remote peer will get disconnected after the interval, in seconds, is up.  PING: This mode will detect the remote IPSec peer has lost or not by pinging specify IP address.  DPD: Dead peer detection (DPD) is a keeping alive mechanism that enables the router to be
