CHAPTER 1 Introduction
1.1 About Your Prestige
Your Prestige integrates high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface(s) and a high-speed SHDSL port into a single package. The Prestige is ideal for high-speed Internet browsing and making LAN-to-LAN connections to remote networks. The Prestige is also an SHDSL router.
By integrating SHDSL and NAT, the Prestige provides ease of installation and Internet access. The Prestige is also a complete security solution with a robust firewall and content filtering.
1.2 Features
The following sections describe the features of the Prestige.
Multi-Mode Standard
Your Prestige supports symmetric data rates of up to 4.6Mbps. It also supports rate management that allows subscribers to select a speed to fit their needs and budgets. The Prestige uses the ITU standard PAM16 Line Code, complies with G.991.2 and G.994.1 standards.
10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface(s)
This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
4-Port Switch
A combination of switch and router makes your Prestige a cost-effective and viable network solution. You can connect up to four computers to the Prestige without the cost of a hub. Use a hub to add more than four computers to your LAN.
Encapsulation
The Prestige supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM, MAC encapsulated routing (ENET encapsulation), IPoA (RFC1577) as well as PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516).
Multiplexing
The Prestige supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
Full Network Management
The embedded web configurator is an all-platform web-based utility that allows you to easily access the Prestige's management settings. Most functions of the Prestige are also configurable via the CLI (Command Line Interface) over a telnet/console connection.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the Prestige and other UPnP enabled devices can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).
Firewall
The Prestige is a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By default, when the firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is initiated from the LAN. The Prestige firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time alerts, reports and logs.
Content Filtering
The Prestige can block web features such as ActiveX controls, Java applets and cookies, as well as disable web proxies. The Prestige can block or allow access to web sites that you specify. The Prestige can also block access to web sites containing keywords that you specify. You can define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled and include or exclude a range of users on the LAN from content filtering.
Packet Filtering
The packet filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
VPN
Establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect with business partners and branch offices using data encryption and the Internet to provide secure communications without the expense of leased site-to-site lines. The Prestige VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is fully interoperable with other IPSec-based VPN products.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual client computers to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability, disabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to all systems that support the DHCP client.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network.
Firmware Upgradeable
The firmware of the Prestige can be upgraded via the web configurator.
1.3 Applications
Here are some examples of what you can do with your Prestige.
1.3.1 Internet Access
The Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your Prestige supports the TCP/IP protocol, which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major DSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) providers. A DSLAM is a rack of DSL line cards with data multiplexed into a backbone network interface/connection (for example, T1, OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay). Think of it as the equivalent of a modem rack for SHDSL.
Figure 1 Application: Internet Access

The Prestige provides protection from attacks by Internet hackers. By default, the firewall blocks all incoming traffic from the WAN. The firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection and DoS (Denial of Services) detection and prevention, as well as real time alerts, reports and logs.
Figure 2 Application: Firewall

The Prestige's VPN feature makes it an ideal cost-effective way to connect branch offices and business partners over the Internet without the need (and expense) for leased lines between sites. VPN ensures the privacy and integrity of your data transmissions.

CHAPTER 2
The Web Configurator
This chapter introduces the web configurator and describes the Quick Start screen.
2.1 Overview
The embedded web configurator (eWC) allows you to manage the Prestige from anywhere through a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions with JavaScript enabled. It is recommended that you set your screen resolution to 1024 by 768 pixels. The screens you see in the web configurator may vary somewhat from the ones shown in this document due to differences between individual firmware versions.
2.2 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Make sure your Prestige hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer/computer network to connect to the Prestige (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Make sure the IP addresses of your computer and the Prestige are in the same range. Refer to the appendix on setting up your computer IP address for more information.
3 Launch your web browser and type "192.168.1.1" as the URL.
4 Enter the username (“admin” is the default) and the password (“1234” is the default).
5 Click OK to log in.

2.6 ARP Table
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control (MAC) address, on the local area network. An IP (version 4) address is 32 bits long. In an Ethernet LAN, MAC addresses are 48 bits long. The ARP table maintains an association between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address.
2.6.1 How ARP Works
When an incoming packet destined for a host device on a local area network arrives at the device, the device's ARP program looks in the ARP table and, if it finds the address, sends it to the device. If no entry is found for the IP address, ARP broadcasts the request to all the devices on the LAN. The device fills in its own MAC and IP address in the sender address fields, and puts the known IP address of the target in the target IP address field. In addition, the device puts all ones in the target MAC field (FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF is the Ethernet broadcast address). The replying device (which is either the IP address of the device being sought or the router that knows the way) replaces the broadcast address with the target's MAC address, swaps the sender and target pairs, and unicasts the answer directly back to the requesting machine. ARP updates the ARP table for future reference and then sends the packet to the MAC address that replied.
To view the ARP table, click Status and ARP Table in the navigation panel.

3.2.1 Factory LAN Defaults
The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
- IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits).
• DHCP server is disabled.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured.
3.2.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN share one common network number.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the Prestige. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block
of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual computer on that network.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance, 192.168.1.1, for your Prestige, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your Prestige will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't need to change the subnet mask computed by the Prestige unless you are instructed to do otherwise.
3.2.3 RIP
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. By default, the Prestige sends and receives RIP packets.
RIP version controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the Prestige sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). The follow lists the RIP versions that your Prestige supports:
- RIP v1 is universally supported (and is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network topology).
- RIP v2 carries more information.
- RIP v2 Multicast sends routing data in RIP-2 format using multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting, also.

When auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the Prestige negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the Prestige determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the Prestige’s auto-negotiation is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer port are the same in order to connect. |

The Prestige will first send packets with matching priority level(s). |
| Apply | ClickApplyto save your changes. |
3.6 DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Prestige as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.
3.6.1 IP Pool Setup
When you set the Prestige as a DHCP server, you can use the default DHCP client IP address pool setting. The default address pool has 20 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.21. This configuration leaves the other IP addresses for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have.
3.6.2 DNS Servers
There are two places where you can configure DNS setup on the Prestige.
1 Use the WAN DNS screen to configure the Prestige to use a DNS server to resolve domain names for Prestige system features like VPN, DDNS and the time server.
2 Use the LAN DHCP Server screen to configure the DNS server information that the Prestige sends to the DHCP client devices on the LAN.

CHAPTER 4 WAN
This chapter describes how to configure WAN settings.
4.1 Overview
A WAN (Wide Area Network) is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. Use the WAN screens to change your Prestige's WAN settings, click Configuration and WAN in the navigation panel.
4.1.1 Encapsulation Types
This section describes the various encapsulation (Internet connection) types the Prestige offers.
4.1.1.1 RFC 1483
RFC 1483 describes two methods for Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit (LLC-based multiplexing) and the second method assumes that each protocol is carried over a separate ATM virtual circuit (VC-based multiplexing). Please refer to the RFC for more detailed information.
In addition, the Prestige supports two RFC 1483 methods; routed or bridged. In RFC 1483 Bridged, the Prestige sends the packets based on the MAC address information. That is, the Prestige bridges the packets. In RFC 1483 Routed, the Prestige sends the packets based on the IP address. That is, the Prestige routes the packets. Refer to the RFC for more information.
4.1.1.2 PPPoE
The Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a computer interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. PPPoE is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for example RADIUS). PPPoE provides a login and authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, nd therefore requires no new learning or procedures for Windows users. One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the Prestige (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the Prestige does that part of the task.
Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN computers will have access.
4.1.1.3 PPPoA
PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). A PPPoA connection functions like a dial-up Internet connection. The Prestige encapsulates the PPP session based on RFC1483 and sends it through an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) to the Internet Service Provider's (ISP) DSLAM (digital access multiplexer). Please refer to RFC 2364 for more information on PPPoA. Refer to RFC 1661 for more information on PPP.
4.1.1.4 IPoA
With IPoA (IP over ATM), the Prestige attempts to map the IP subnet onto the ATM network.
4.2 ISP
Use the ISP screens to configure the Prestige for Internet access. The screen differs by the encapsulation.

4.3 DNS
Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.
The Prestige can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
1 The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, manually enter them in the DNS server fields.
2 If your ISP dynamically assigns the DNS server IP addresses (along with the Prestige's WAN IP address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP.
3 You can manually enter the IP addresses of other DNS servers. These servers can be public or private. A DNS server could even be behind a remote IPSec router.
Use the DNS screen to specify the DNS server IP address(es) provided by your ISP.

CHAPTER 6 Firewall
This chapter gives some background information on firewalls.
6.1 Overview
Originally, the term firewall referred to a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of fire from one room to another. The networking term firewall is a system or group of systems that enforces an access-control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism used to protect a trusted network from an untrusted network. Of course, firewalls cannot solve every security problem. A firewall is one of the mechanisms used to establish a network security perimeter in support of a network security policy. It should never be the only mechanism or method employed. For a firewall to guard effectively, you must design and deploy it appropriately. This requires integrating the firewall into a broad information-security policy. In addition, specific policies must be implemented within the firewall itself.
6.2 Types of Firewalls
There are three main types of firewalls:
1 Packet Filtering Firewalls
2 Application-level Firewalls
3 Stateful Inspection Firewalls
6.2.1 Packet Filtering Firewalls
Packet filtering firewalls restrict access based on the source/destination computer network address of a packet and the type of application.
6.2.2 Application-level Firewalls
Application-level firewalls restrict access by serving as proxies for external servers. Since they use programs written for specific Internet services, such as HTTP, FTP and telnet, they can evaluate network packets for valid application-specific data. Application-level gateways have a number of general advantages over the default mode of permitting application traffic directly to internal hosts:
1 Information hiding prevents the names of internal systems from being made known via DNS to outside systems, since the application gateway is the only host whose name must be made known to outside systems.
2 Robust authentication and logging pre-authenticates application traffic before it reaches internal hosts and causes it to be logged more effectively than if it were logged with standard host logging. Filtering rules at the packet filtering router can be less complex than they would be if the router needed to filter application traffic and direct it to a number of specific systems. The router need only allow application traffic destined for the application gateway and reject the rest.
6.2.3 Stateful Inspection Firewalls
Stateful inspection firewalls restrict access by screening data packets against defined access rules. They make access control decisions based on IP address and protocol. They also "inspect" the session data to assure the integrity of the connection and to adapt to dynamic protocols. These firewalls generally provide the best speed and transparency; however, they may lack the granular application level access control or caching that some proxies support.
Firewalls, of one type or another, have become an integral part of standard security solutions for enterprises.
Your Prestige includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation), the Prestige acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, as all computers on your LAN will use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
The following lists the different security features on the Prestige:
- Firewall: This prevents access from outside your network. The router provides three levels of security support:
- NAT: This masks the IP addresses of the computers on the LAN invisible to the WAN. This makes it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network.
- Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of packet filter rules to block unauthorized computers or applications access to your local network from the Internet.
- Intrusion Detection: Enable this feature to detect, prevent and log malicious attacks.
- Access Control: Prevents specified local computers from accessing your local network:
- Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Outbound direction of packet filter rules to block unauthorized computers or applications access from the Internet.
- MAC Filter rules: To prevent unauthorized computers from accessing the network through the Prestige.
- URL Filter: To block computers on your local network from accessing specific web sites.
6.3 General Settings
Enable the firewall in the General Settings screen. Click Configuration, Firewall and General Settings in the navigation panel to display the screen as shown.

6.5 Intrusion Detection
The Prestige's Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker attacks and intrusion attempts from the Internet. When you enable IDS on the Prestige, inbound packets are filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious.
If the Prestige detects a possible attack, the source IP or destination IP address will be added to the Blacklist. Any further attempts using this IP address will be blocked for the time period specified in the Block Duration field. The default setting for this function is false (disabled). Some attack types are denied immediately without using the Blacklist function, such as Land attack and Echo/CharGen scan.
The following table lists the types of attacks that the IDS is able to detect and the actions performed.

CHAPTER 7 VPN
This chapter shows you how to configure the Prestige for VPN connection.
7.1 Overview
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) provides secure communications between sites without the expense of leased site-to-site lines. A secure VPN is a combination of tunneling, encryption, authentication, access control and auditing technologies/services used to transport traffic over the Internet or any insecure network that uses the TCP/IP protocol suite for communication.
Your Prestige supports three main types of VPN (Virtual Private Network): PPTP, IPSec and L2TP.
7.2 PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet. You can set the Prestige to initiate a VPN connection or accept connection requests from a VPN client.
7.2.1 PPTP Summary
To view PPTP VPN rule summary, click VPN and PPTP in the navigation panel to display the main PPTP screen.

7.3 IPSec
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a standards-based VPN that offers flexible solutions for secure data communications across a public network like the Internet. IPSec is built around a number of standardized cryptographic techniques to provide confidentiality, data integrity and authentication at the IP layer.
7.3.1 AH (Authentication Header)
AH protocol (RFC 2402) was designed for integrity, authentication, sequence integrity (replay resistance), and non-repudiation but not for confidentiality, for which the ESP was designed.
In applications where confidentiality is not required or not sanctioned by government encryption restrictions, an AH can be employed to ensure integrity. This type of implementation does not protect the information from dissemination but will allow for verification of the integrity of the information and authentication of the originator.
7.3.2 ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload)
The ESP protocol (RFC 2406) provides encryption as well as the services offered by AH. ESP authenticating properties are limited compared to the AH due to the non-inclusion of the IP header information during the authentication process. However, ESP is sufficient if only the upper layer protocols need to be authenticated.
An added feature of the ESP is payload padding, which further protects communications by concealing the size of the packet being transmitted.
Table 43 ESP and AH
| ESP | AH | |
| Encryption | DES (default)Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a widely used method of data encryption using a secret key. DES applies a 56-bit key to each 64-bit block of data. | |
| 3DESTriple DES (3DES) is a variant of DES, which iterates three times with three separate keys (3 x 56 = 168 bits), effectively doubling the strength of DES. | ||
| AESAdvanced Encryption Standard is a newer method of data encryption that also uses a secret key. Various secret key lengths (128, 192 and 256 bits) are implemented. AES is faster than 3DES. | ||
| Select NULL to set up a phase 2 tunnel without encryption. | ||
| Authentication | None (default)No authentication | |
| MD5MD5 (Message Digest 5) produces a 128-bit digest to authenticate packet data. | MD5 (default)MD5 (Message Digest 5) produces a 128-bit digest to authenticate packet data. | |
| SHA1SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) produces a 160-bit digest to authenticate packet data. | SHA1SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) produces a 160-bit digest to authenticate packet data. | |
| Select MD5 for minimal security and SHA1 for maximum security. | ||
7.3.3 Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)
Enabling PFS means that the key is transient. The key is thrown away and replaced by a brand new key using a new Diffie-Hellman exchange for each new IPSec SA setup. With PFS enabled, if one key is compromised, previous and subsequent keys are not compromised, because subsequent keys are not derived from previous keys. The (time-consuming) Diffie-Hellman exchange is the trade-off for this extra security.
This may be unnecessary for data that does not require such security, so PFS is disabled (None) by default in the Prestige. Disabling PFS means new authentication and encryption keys are derived from the same root secret (which may have security implications in the long run) but allows faster SA setup (by bypassing the Diffie-Hellman key exchange).
7.3.4 Pre-Shared Key
A pre-shared key identifies a communicating party during a phase 1 IKE negotiation. It is called pre-shared because you have to share it with another party before you can communicate with them over a secure connection.
7.3.5 IPSec VPN Summary

CHAPTER 8 QoS (Quality of Service)
This chapter shows you how to configure QoS on the Prestige.
8.1 Overview
QoS function helps you to control your network traffic for each application from LAN to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you to control the different quality and speed of throughput for each application when the system is running with full loading of upstream.
You can find two items under the QoS section: Prioritization and IP Throttling (bandwidth management).
8.1.1 Prioritization
The Prestige provides three priority settings:
- High
- Normal (This is the default for the traffic type(s) that does not match any rules.)
- Low
Click Configuration, QoS and Prioritization in the navigation panel to display the screen as shown.

CHAPTER 9 Static Route
This chapter shows you how to set advanced system settings.
9.1 Overview
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the Prestige has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the following figure through remote node router R1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn't know that there is a route through the same remote node router R1 (via gateway router R2). The static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

Table 56 Advanced: Static Route
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Destination | This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network number to be identical to the host ID. |
| Netmask | Enter the IP subnet mask in dotted decimal notation. |
| via gateway | Enter the IP address of the gateway.The gateway is a router or switch on the same network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway helps forward packets to their destinations. |
| or Interface | Select the interface through which packets are to be forwarded. |
| Cost | IP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number. |

CHAPTER 10 Dynamic DNS
10.1 Overview
Dynamic DNS allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.). You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a domain name (for instance myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) that will never change instead of using an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call you even if they don't know your IP address.
First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is for people with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a domain name. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key.
Note: You must go to the Dynamic DNS service provider's website and register a user account and a domain name before you can use the Dynamic DNS service with your Prestige.

CHAPTER 12 Device Management
This chapter shows you how to configure device management security and monitoring settings.
12.1 Overview
Configure general system settings (such as the system name, web server port numbers, etc.), UPnP and SNMP settings in the Device Management screen.
12.1.1 Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.
12.1.1.1 How do I know if I'm using UPnP?
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each UPnP compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting the icon of a UPnP device will allow you to access the information and properties of that device.
12.1.1.2 Cautions with UPnP
All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.
12.1.2 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP version one SNMPv1), version two (SNMPv2) and version three (SNMPv3). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.

An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device. An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:
- Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
- GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
- Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
- Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
12.1.2.1 SNMPv3
SNMPv3 provides a secure environment for the management of systems and stations. It is designed to protect against unauthorized modification of SNMP messages and operations by using passwords (or community) to authenticate users. SNMPv3 provides user-based security and view-based access control models.
12.1.2.2 SNMP Traps and MIBs
Traps supported: Cold Start, Authentication Failure.
The following table lists the MIBs and attributes.

| Host Name | Enter a name for identification purposes. |
| Embedded Web Server | |
| HTTP Port | Specify the port number of the embedded web server on the Prestige for accessing the web configurator. The default port number is80.Enter a number.Note:Make sure the port number is not already used by another service.If you change the port number, you need to append the port number to theWANorLANport IP address to access the web configurator. For example, if you enter “8010” as the web server port number, then you must enter “http://www.192.168.1.1:8010” where 192.168.1.1 is the WAN or LAN port IP address. |
| Management IP Address | A secure client is a “trusted” computer that is allowed to access the embedded web server on the Prestige.Enter the IP address of a computer that you want to allow access.Enter 0.0.0.0 to allow a computer with any IP address to access the Prestige. |
| Expire to auto-logout | Type how many minutes a management web session can be left idle before the session times out. The default is 3 minutes. After it times out you have to log in again. Very long idle timeouts may have security risks.A value of "0" means a management session never times out, no matter how long it has been left idle (not recommended). |
| Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) | Select this Enable to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to open the web configurator's login screen without entering the Prestige's IP address (although you must still enter the password to access the web configurator).Select Disable to deactivate this feature. |

12.3 IGMP
A Prestige can passively snoop on IGMP Query, Report and Leave (IGMP version 2) packets transferred between IP multicast routers/switches and IP multicast hosts to learn the IP multicast group membership. It checks IGMP packets passing through it, picks out the group registration information, and configures multicasting accordingly. IGMP snooping allows the Prestige to learn multicast groups without you having to manually configure them.
The Prestige can also forward multicast traffic destined for multicast groups (that it has learned from IGMP snooping or that you have manually configured) to ports that are members of that group. The Prestige discards multicast traffic destined for multicast groups that it does not know. IGMP snooping generates no additional network traffic, allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your Prestige.
