DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱLANs and WANs Your DIR-430 is a network device that connects two networks; Local Area Network (LAN) (the group of PCs in your home or office) and the Wide Area Network (WAN), that is, the Internet. The Gateway processes and regulates the data that travels between these two networks. ȱYour DIR-430 is "equipped" with firewall software that protects your local area network of PCs so that users on the Internet cannot hack into your PCs, hence keeps your local PCs secure. The DIR-430 protects your network by inspecting the first packet coming in through the WAN connection before delivery to the final destination on Local PCs. The DIR-430 inspects Internet port services like the web server, ftp server, or other Internet applications, and, if allowed, it will forward the packet to the appropriate PC on the LAN side. DIR-430 ports connect to two sides: your 10/100 LAN ports and the Internet WAN port. The WAN and LAN ports can transmit data at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Pageȱ7ȱofȱ103ȱ
DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱStatic & Dynamic IP Addresses IP stands for Internet Protocol. All IP based network devices like PCs, print servers, Gateways, and routers have IP addresses that are independent of the type of network interface. The IP address denotes the identity of the device on the IP networks, both LAN and WAN. IP addresses can be assigned manually to a device, or dynamically through a central server. Static IP address is a fixed, and manually assigned to a PC or any other device on the network. They retain their address until you change it. This type of addressing is useful especially for the hosts/routers/Gateways that offer services (Web, FTP, printer), and you may want to access them using their known static IP address. If your ISP provides with static IP address, please use the static IP settings for the Internet Access Connection Mode. Dynamic IP address is assigned for temporary usage, issued by a server (DHCP Server can be PC, Gateway or any other network service) in the network. The IP address obtained this way is not guaranteed to be constant. After a certain time period, they expire and may change. The DHCP server is notified of the expiry, and may assign the same or different IP address to a network device. This is used in the cases; where there is a constraint on the number of IP addresses, or to reduce the configuration on the network devices and keeping the IP addressing configuration centrally located. For DSL connections, many ISPs may require you to log on with a user name and password to have access to the Internet. The technology used is Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), which is similar to (PPP) dial-up connection, with no telephone number dialling involved, provides dynamic IP address. Firewall – Its need With a rapid growth in the Internet around the world, and because of its open nature of the Internet Protocol standard, network security has become a major concern to the companies around the world. Once you are connected to the Internet, you are physically connecting your network to few thousands of unknown networks and their users. This enables all the Internet users around the world to share the information. But the idea opens up the possibility of confidential information being leaked out to Internet users who are involved in unlawful activities. There are various types of attacks on the Internet; few for example, Denial-of-service attacks, SMURF, SYN flooding, ping of death attacks, Application layer attacks. To protect a private network from all these type of attacks, firewall came into existence. Your RGS Pro Gateway has firewall that provides a single point of defence between two networks and can secure your Local Network.Pageȱ8ȱofȱ103ȱ

DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱChapter 3 Connecting the DIR-430OverviewDIR-430 setup requires little more than Hub or Switch setup. PCs on your local network should be configured to obtain an IP address (or TCP/IP address) from the DIR-430 (the DIR-430 also needs to get an IP address). Please consult your Internet Service provider (ISP) for the method used in getting IP address for the DIR-430.Connecting Hardware together and booting up 1. Make sure you power down all of your hardware including the DIR-430, PCs, hubs, switches and cable or DSL modem. 2. As in figure 3-1, Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4) on the back of the Gateway, and the other end to a standard port on a network device, e.g., a PC, Laptop, hub or switch. Figureȱ3Ȭ1ȱRepeat the above step to connect more PCs or Network devices to the Gateway. 3.

It is better advised to turn on the suppression of the SSID, by checking on Suppress SSID check box. Wireless Security Mode Wireless networks need to provide an extra level of security compared to wired networks. This is because wireless radio signals propagate through the air and are naturally easier to intercept.ȱȱYou may wish to leave your wireless connectivity without any security settings, but this is not advised. Select “Disable Wireless Security” from the drop down menu if you do not wish to have security between clients and this access point. The DIR-430 supports the following types of wireless security to encrypt your data so that only the intended recipient will be able to read it. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) WPA PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access – Pre-Shared Key) WPA2 PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 – Pre-Shared Key) WPA/WPA2 PSK (Accepts both WPA and WPA2 PSK connections) Pageȱ33ȱofȱ103ȱ
DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱWEP Wireless Security WEP is the first generation wireless security. The figure below shows the WEP configuration information. You should choose the encryption bit length from the drop-down menu from one of the 64, 128 bit lengths. The more the bit length, the higher the security offered. Authentication Type: Select “open system” or “shared key”. Open system authentication is a very basic form of authentication that consists of a simple authentication request containing the station ID and an authentication response containing success or failure. Upon success both stations are considered mutually authenticated. Shared key authentication is predicated on the fact that both stations taking part in the authentication process have the same "shared" key. It is assumed that the secret key has been distributed to both the transmitting and receiving stations by some secure means. If you wish to allow access to the wireless PCs/laptops/PDAs based on their type, you may choose “automatic” entry from the drop-down list. Keys specified on the configuration are useful in encrypting between your gateway and its wireless clients. You may specify 10 hex digits (0-9, A-F or a-f) if you selected 64-bit encryption key length, or 26 hex digits if selected 128-bit encryption key length. If the authentication type is shared, the keys are also used for the authentication. You can have four keys that can be configured between your access point and its wireless clients. Select a key to be used for encrypting/authenticating the wireless traffic. Pageȱ34ȱofȱ103ȱ

DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱAdvancedThe Advanced Section of the DIR-430 management UI allows administrators to configure various Networking parameters relating to LAN based Servers and Access Control. Refer to each section for more information. Port Forwarding With this feature, you can setup services like web servers, file servers, e-mail servers, and any other customized applications to the Internet on internal PCs. To give access from the Internet, add a policy to allow the traffic initiated from Internet to internal network (inbound traffic). This uses Reverse Network Address Translation (RNAT) to forward specified ports from the WAN to the LAN. To add a policy, click on Advanced on the top panel, and click on PortForwarding to open up the page as shown below. To create a new rule for inbound traffic, click on Add New Port Forwarding Policybutton on the page shown above that will lead to the configuration page as shown in below. The Port Forwarding configuration requires you to provide: Connections from Remote Systems: Specify the remote host IP address, domain name, or IP range (select Any radio button if required for all machines) from which the Internet traffic is generated. For Service: A pre-determined service from the drop-down list or specify port range (if only one port exists, provide duplicate entry) with transport protocol (TCP/UDP). Redirect to Local System: The local host IP address to which traffic is destined from the Internet. Select the PC from the drop down box or choose the Custom radio button and specify its IP address.

The Port Forwarding Policy is applied by the DIR-430 to the Internet traffic. If the rule matches, the traffic is directed to the specified internal pc, otherwise traffic is received by the DMZ host (if enabled). ȱA PC on a private network with an IP address such as 10.X.X.X, 172.16.X.X, 192, 168.X.X cannot be accessed directly by a user on the Internet. To access any PC on the private network, Internet user should use public IP address of the DIR-430 assigned by the ISP on the specified port. Pageȱ38ȱofȱ103ȱ
DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱApplication Rules Some complex applications exchange the control information on well-known ports and the control messages may specify some port numbers to be used for the data exchange. For example, FTP uses TCP port 21 for its control information and uses different ports for the actual data transfer. There is increase in number of applications that use one control connection and multiple data connections, where the end user is asked to provide the TCP/UDP port information. To allow all such traffic, your Gateway must be configured to work with all the connections that will be used. More detailed explanation of the configuration follows. To list port-triggering entries configured in the DIR-430, click on Advanced on the top panel, then click on Application Rules on the left hand menu to see the configuration page as shown above. Each entry can be either edited by clicking the icon or deleted by clicking the icon on the same line. To add a new entry, click on Add New Trigger hyperlink, which opens a configuration page as shown in below. Trigger Port is the standard port for the protocol/application at which the service is offered. You may select the radio button against drop-down list provided and select one from it. Or you may choose a custom port number for your custom application. Trigger Protocol can be TCP, UDP, or both. Source IP specifies for what host(s) on the local network, the port-trigger has to be applied. To choose IP address of a single host, select the radio button IP Pageȱ39ȱofȱ103ȱ

If you don't know the IP address of a host or if it changes dynamically, you may select Local Computers radio button to select a host name on the local network. If you want the port-trigger to be activated for any local computer, select the Any radio button. Incoming ports are the data ports for the application that will be used during the data exchange. Incoming ports are the port numbers on which the data is received by your Gateway. Instead of deleting a record when unnecessary, you may preserve the entry with enable/disable options. If you select the option Yes to enable the record for the question, Enable this Record? Choosing No would disable the record. Once done, you may choose to click on Apply Changes to add a port-trigger entry.Pageȱ40ȱofȱ103ȱ
DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱNetwork Filter As a factory setting, the DIR-430 Firewall allows Internet traffic related to certain commonly used PC applications that use the following protocols. They are ping, DNS, RIP, DHCP (client and server), SMTP (e-mail protocol), POP3, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), Telnet, HTTP, HTTPS (for web browsing), instant messengers like AOL, MSN and Yahoo, IKE (for VPN). You may choose to deny some protocol traffic by selecting "Deny" radio button for that service, or uncheck "Enable" to disable the policy. Pageȱ41ȱofȱ103ȱ

To add a firewall policy for your own application, click on Add New User Defined Policy hyperlink close to the top of the page shown on the previous page, to access the configuration page as shown below. The configuration makes the firewall allow/deny the traffic requested from the internal network to the Internet (outbound traffic). This uses concept of Network Address Translation (NAT), hence the DIR-430 allows all Local PCs to use same public IP address. All pre-defined policies shown in the figure on the previous page use the same concept. Network Filter configuration requires you to provide: Remote Network: The remote host domain name/IP address or subnet or IP address range (select "Any" radio button if required for all machines) to which connections will be made. Local Network: Local host IP address or subnet or range of IP addresses (or select a radio button for "ALL" machines) from which the connections will be made.For Services: A pre-determined service from the drop-down list or specify port range (if only one port exists, provide duplicate entry) with transport protocol (TCP/UDP). Priority: Choose a priority level if Uplink Bandwidth and QoS are enabled. Should be: Select whether this policy should allow or deny traffic. Access Schedule: Select the access schedule policy to be used (always by default). All the added time windows will appear in the drop-down list.

Hence there is a continuity loss (Saturday and Sunday have different time periods). You should split the time window entry into three different time periods. Add Monday to Friday - 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM in Time period 1, and the rest as shown in the figure above. The entries are not considered whose periods are conflicting in a time window. ȱTime period from "Monday to Friday - 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM" does not mean period from Monday 7:00 AM till Friday 8:00 PM. It means the time period between 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM on all Mondays through Fridays. If you would like to have an overnight schedule like 10:30 PM to 6:00 AM everyday, the time schedule needs to be broken into two pieces. You may add Sunday-Saturday schedule from 10:30 PM- 11:59 PM as time period 1, and Sunday-Saturday schedule from 12:00 Midnight – 6:00 AM in the time period 2. Pageȱ47ȱofȱ103ȱ

Cable modems support bandwidth of 36 Mbps downstream (from the Internet to the computer), and from 200 Kbps to 2 Mbps upstream (from the computer to the Internet). CAT 5 cable – ANSI/EIA (American National Standards Institute/Electronic Industries Association) Standard 568 is one of standards that specify "CATegories" of twisted pair cabling systems (wires, junctions, and connectors) in terms of the data rates that they can sustain. CAT 5 cable has a maximum throughput of 100 Mbps and is usually utilized for 100BaseTX networks. Data Packet – It is a collection of bits sent over a network at once. For example, an Ethernet packet can be from 64 to 1518 bytes in length. DDNS – Dynamic Domain Name System allows a network device with a dynamic Internet IP address to have a fixed host and domain name, such as abcd.mydomain.com. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other server behind a router, so people can find your site no matter how often the Internet IP address changes. Using DDNS requires registering with a DDNS service provider on the Internet. Default Gateway – The routing device used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station within the local subnet. Denial of Service – When an attacker floods packets continuously to occupy the network bandwidth, your PC will not be able to respond to any other service requests. This leads to Denial of Service. The attack is called Denial of Service attack.DES – Data Encryption Standard, a standard by which sender and receiver use a shared secret key to encrypt or decrypt the data. The key length used is 56-bits in this standard. Pageȱ96ȱofȱ103ȱ
DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱDHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. All hosts/gateways that are in the network need to have an IP address to communicate. Without this protocol, you have to manually specify the IP address in a host/gateway. This protocol allows all IP address assignments to be centralized and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization’s network. The User of a DHCP server can configure the lease time of an IP address to be used by a DHCP client. It also supports static IP address assignment for fixed hosts/gateways if they run application servers. DMZ (De Militarized Zone) - Allows one IP address (or computer) to be exposed to the Internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP ports to be open. It is recommended that you set your computer with a static IP address if you want to use DMZ Hosting. DNS – Domain Name System maps the domain name against an IP address. People remember meaningful domain names easily than the IP address that is in the form of numbers. Domain – A sub network comprised of a group of clients and servers under the control of one security database. Dividing LANs into domains improves performance and security. Download – Receive the file from the network. DSL – Digital Subscriber Line, Your telephone line is used as a digital carrier that can allow both data and your normal telephone. DSL can be always be powered on. It need not be dialed every time you are trying to connect to Internet. Daylight saving time (DST) - time observed when clocks and other timepieces are set ahead so that the sun will rise and set later in the day. The amount of daylight on a given day of the year at given latitude is fixed, but over the year the hours of sunrise and sunset vary from day to day. During the summer months, the sun rises earlier and sets later and there are more hours of daylight. If clocks and other timepieces are set ahead in the spring by some amount (usually one hour), the sun will rise and set later in the day as measured by those clocks. Dynamic IP Address - An IP address that is automatically assigned to a client station in a TCP/IP network, typically by a DHCP server. Network devices that offer services like web, printer do not generally use DHCP. They are assigned with static IP addresses. Encryption – A security method that applies a specific algorithm to data in order to alter the data's appearance and prevent other devices from reading the information. Ethernet - Supports 10 Mbps speed, this IEEE standard network protocol specifies how data is placed on and retrieved from a common transmission medium. This is the physical carrier for all TCP/IP protocol and its application messages.Fast Ethernet – Same as Ethernet but supports 100 Mbps speed. Fast Ethernet uses CSMA/CD network access method. Firewall – A firewall can be a software/hardware device that is located as network gateway to protect your private network from the attacks that can happen in the public Internet. It examines each packet to determine whether to forward it towards its destination. Pageȱ97ȱofȱ103ȱ
DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱFirmware – Binary code that is written onto read-only memory (ROM) or programmable read-only memory (PROM). Once firmware has been written onto the ROM or PROM, it is retained even when the device is turned off. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) – Protocol used to transfer the files across the TCP/IP network. For example, placing the files on to a web server uses FTP protocol.Full Duplex – A device is capable of full duplex when it can send data simultaneously in both directions. FQDN - A fully qualified domain name consists of a host and domain name, including top-level domain. For example, www.yahoo.com is a fully qualified domain name. www is the host, yahoo is the second-level domain, and.com is the top level domain. Gateway – Device that can connect two different networks supporting two different communication protocols. Half Duplex – A device is capable of half duplex when it can send data in both directions, but not simultaneously. Hardware – All electronic component that are visible physically. Example, Electronic circuit boards in PCs, Gateway. Hop - The link between two network elements. HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) – Protocol that allows web pages to be transferred over the Internet. ISP (Internet Service provider) - A company that offers internet access, services such as web site building, virtual hosting to individuals and companies. LAN (Local Area Network) – A group of computers/gateways/routers connected that can communicate each other in a small geographic area. MAC (Media Access Control) – Every Ethernet networking device such as network adapter will be assigned with a unique number so that they can communicate.MD5 – A type of one-way authentication scheme that uses passwords. The password is hashed and sent over the network so that only the sender and authenticator know about it. It is not very secure authentication mechanism when compared to others like EAP-TLS or EAP/TTLS. NAT (Network Address Translation) – IP Address is translated for two purposes by a Gateway that connects two networks. One reason is to save number of IP addresses on one side, the other, to hide the internal IP addresses of the hosts. In the case of NAT, when the traffic is generated from your private network to public Internet, the source IP address of the packet generated will be transformed to the public address of your Gateway. The end user receiving the traffic perceives the packet to be generated by your Gateway. Network Mask – Look at Subnet Mask. Packet – A unit of data routed from an origin to its destination in a network. Packet Filtering – Discarding unwanted network traffic based on its originating address or range of addresses or its type (e-mail, file transfer, etc.). Ping (Packet INternet Groper) – Utility used at the network elements (PCs, routers) to determine whether a particular IP address is reachable and its delay to reach that network element. Pageȱ98ȱofȱ103ȱ
DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱPlug-n-Play – When a device or an expansion board is attached to a computer system they should be running without rebooting your computer system. Port – A physical male or female sockets that can be hooked for plugging in communication lines, modems and printers. PPP (Point to Point Protocol) - Protocol that is used by your dial-up modem for your PC to connect to the Internet. PPP protocol runs between dial-up modem and ISP. Once PPP connection is established, your PC gets Internet connectivity. PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) – It is a method that encapsulates PPP packets over Ethernet frames from the user to the ISP over the Internet. PPPoE is preferable by ISPs because it provides authentication (username and password) in addition to data transport. A PPPoE session can be initiated by either a client application residing on a PC, or by client firmware residing on a modem or router. PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) – The protocol defines the tunneling service in IP network to carry PPP protocol messages. One example of a tunneling service is secure access from a remote small office network to a headquarters corporate intranet via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that traverses the Internet. They can also be used for residential purposes. RJ – 45 (Registered Jack – 45) - A connector used for connecting Ethernet devices that holds up to eight wires. Reverse Network Address Translation – When an Internet user tries to access a service at your Router/Gateway, the request made by the Internet user will be forwarded to an internal machine that serves the request. This is achieved by translating the destination IP address of the packet to private Local IP address of the PC where service is offered. This operation is exactly reverse of the NAT operation.Router – Device that routes the packets across various sub networks that are attached to. It helps in managing the large networks in to smaller ones. They operate at IP layer of TCP/IP protocol suite. Security Association – These are the parameters to be set for having a VPN tunnel. Server – A computer that services the users on a network, may be to access files, web pages, printing. Software – It is a series of instructions that control the behavior of the computer and its hardware. Stateful Packet Inspection – Firewall that monitors the state of the transaction for the internal hosts. It looks at the internals of the packet and adjusts the firewall policies automatically based on the state but specific to the port requested/required. Hence this is more secured than the static packet filters which are not intelligent of states of transactions. Static IP Address – Permanent IP address that is assigned to a host/router in an IP or TCP/IP network. Switch – Device that connects host computers, large number of devices to share a limited number of ports. 2. It helps users to make, break, and change the connections physically on an electric circuit. Pageȱ99ȱofȱ103ȱ
DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide Version : 1.0ȱSubnet Mask – The method used for dividing IP networks into small networks called subnets. The division is determined by a binary pattern (called mask). Based on this mask (subnet mask), IP addresses of the hosts in that subnet can be assigned. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - A setup of rules used to transmit data along with the IP (Internet Protocol) to split the data to be transmitted into small pieces. TCP creates connections with its peer to send the data. The protocol offers reliability of the packet transmission and adds delay in the network. Applications that assume unreliable networks generally use TCP. TCP/IP – (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) Set of protocols for communications over a network developed specifically for the Internet. TCP/IP defines a suite or group of protocols that involves many protocols like ICMP, RIP, DHCP, etc. Throughput – The data sent successfully through the Internet in a given time period.UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - A setup of rules used to transmit data along with the IP (Internet Protocol) to split the data to be transmitted into small pieces (called datagrams). UDP does not create a connection with its peer to send the data. Hence it is “connection-less”, unreliable, but faster because there is no connection setup delay. Upgrade – To replace the firmware version of the DIR-430 with a newer version. URL (Universal Resource Locator) - It is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet resource. These can be accessed through typing the URLs in to the browser, or by clicking the hyperlinks on the existing web pages on the browser. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) – VoIP is a technology that makes use of your existing Internet connection instead of normal PSTN. When you connect your telephone on your RGS Gateway, the voice gets converted into digital information, which will be transmitted on the Internet. At the receiver’s end, the reverse operation is performed.VPN (Virtual Private Network) - A technology with which hosts communicate over public communication networks by creating private communication channels called tunnels. This is mostly achieved through encrypting the traffic at the originating point and decrypting the traffic at the destination point. Examples of VPN technology are, PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol), L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol), IPSec (Internet Protocol Security). VPN end point – A host connected to a router (or the router itself for the router related data traffic) has the ability to establish a VPN tunnel to some other host supporting VPN. WAN (Wide Area Network) - Networks that cover communication over a large geographic area. These are through public networks like telephone (DSL) or cable Networks, through leased lines or satellites. Internet is a Wide Area Network. Pageȱ100ȱofȱ103ȱ
