Introduction
1.1 Overview
The UAG is a comprehensive service gateway. The UAG combines an IEEE 802.11n wireless access point, router, 4-port switch and service gateway in one box. If you have a "statement printer", such as SP350E, you can connect it directly to the UAG, allowing you to easily print subscriber statements. The UAG is ideal for offices, coffee shops, libraries, hotels and airport terminals catering to subscribers that seek Internet access. You should have an Internet account already set up and have been given usernames, passwords etc. required for Internet access.

You can use web authentication to allow guests to access the network only after they authenticate with the UAG through a specifically designated login web page. You can also forward the authenticated client's e-mail messages to a specific SMTP server.
The UAG also provides bandwidth management, NAT, port forwarding, policy routing, DHCP server and many other powerful features. The UAG's security features include firewall and certificates.
The UAG lets you set up multiple networks for your company. The UAG also provides two separate LAN networks. You can set ports to be part of the LAN1 or LAN2. Alternatively, you can deploy the UAG as a transparent firewall in an existing network with minimal configuration.
1.2 Default Zones, Interfaces, and Ports
The default configurations for zones, interfaces, and ports are as follows. References to interfaces may be generic rather than the specific name used in your model. For example, this guide may use "the WAN interface" rather than "P1".
Zones
Interfaces
Physical Ports

Figure 1 Zones, Interfaces, and Physical Ethernet Ports



1.3 Management Overview
You can manage the UAG in the following ways.
Web Configurator
The Web Configurator allows easy UAG setup and management using an Internet browser. This User's Guide provides information about the Web Configurator.

Figure 2 Managing the UAG: Web Configurator
Command-Line Interface (CLI)
The CLI allows you to use text-based commands to configure the UAG. Access it using remote management (for example, SSH or Telnet) or via the physical or Web Configurator console port. See the Command Reference Guide for CLI details. The default settings for the console port are:
Table 1 Console Port Default Settings
| SETTING | VALUE |
| Speed | 115200 bps |
| Data Bits | 8 |
| Parity | None |
| Stop Bit | 1 |
| Flow Control | Off |
1.4 Web Configurator
In order to use the Web Configurator, you must:
- Use one of the following web browser versions or later: Internet Explorer 6.0, Firefox 8.0, Chrome 14.0, Safari 4.0.
- Allow pop-up windows (blocked by default in Windows XP Service Pack 2).
- Enable JavaScripts, Java permissions, and cookies.
The recommended screen resolution is 1024 × 768 pixels.
1.4.1 Web Configurator Access
1 Make sure your UAG hardware is properly connected. See the Quick Start Guide.

1000Base-T Ports
The 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet so the speed can be 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The duplex mode is full at 1000 Mbps and half or full at 10/100 Mbps. An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device. An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable. The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the UAG are speed: auto, duplex: auto, and flow control: on (you cannot configure the flow control setting, but the UAG can negotiate with the peer and turn it off if needed).

10.1 Interface Overview
Use the Interface screens to configure the UAG's interfaces. You can also create interfaces on top of other interfaces.
- Ports are the physical ports to which you connect cables.
- Interfaces are used within the system operationally. You use them in configuring various features. An interface also describes a network that is directly connected to the UAG. For example, You connect the LAN network to the LAN interface.
- Zones are groups of interfaces used to ease security policy configuration.
10.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Port Role screen (Section 10.2 on page 108) to create port groups and to assign physical ports and port groups to Ethernet interfaces.
- Use the Ethernet screens (Section 10.3 on page 109) to configure the Ethernet interfaces. Ethernet interfaces are the foundation for defining other interfaces and network policies.
- Use the PPP screens (Section 10.4 on page 120) for PPPoE or PPTP Internet connections.
- Use the VLAN screens (Section 10.5 on page 126) to divide the physical network into multiple logical networks. VLAN interfaces receive and send tagged frames. The UAG automatically adds or removes the tags as needed. Each VLAN can only be associated with one Ethernet interface.
- Use the Bridge screens (Section 10.6 on page 133) to combine two or more network segments into a single network.
- Use the Virtual Interface screen (Section 10.7.1 on page 141) to create virtual interfaces on top of Ethernet interfaces to tell the UAG where to route packets. You can create virtual Ethernet interfaces, virtual VLAN interfaces, and virtual bridge interfaces.
- Use the Trunk screens (Chapter 11 on page 146) to configure load balancing.
10.1.2 What You Need to Know
Interface Characteristics
Interfaces generally have the following characteristics (although not all characteristics apply to each type of interface).
- An interface is a logical entity through which (layer-3) packets pass.
- An interface is bound to a physical port or another interface.
- Many interfaces can share the same physical port.
- An interface belongs to at most one zone.
-
Many interfaces can belong to the same zone.
-
Layer-3 virtualization (IP alias, for example) is a kind of interface.
Types of Interfaces
You can create several types of interfaces in the UAG.
- Setting interfaces to the same port role forms a port group. Port groups create a hardware connection between physical ports at the layer-2 (data link, MAC address) level. Port groups are created when you use the Interface > Port Roles screen to set multiple physical ports to be part of the same interface.
- Ethernet interfaces are the foundation for defining other interfaces and network policies.
- VLAN interfaces receive and send tagged frames. The UAG automatically adds or removes the tags as needed. Each VLAN can only be associated with one Ethernet interface.
- Bridge interfaces create a software connection between Ethernet or VLAN interfaces at the layer-2 (data link, MAC address) level. Unlike port groups, bridge interfaces can take advantage of some security features in the UAG. You can also assign an IP address and subnet mask to the bridge.
- PPP interfaces support Point-to-Point Protocols (PPP). ISP accounts are required for PPPoE/PPTP interfaces.
- Virtual interfaces provide additional routing information in the UAG. There are three types: virtual Ethernet interfaces, virtual VLAN interfaces, and virtual bridge interfaces.
- Trunk interfaces manage load balancing between interfaces.
Port groups and trunks have a lot of characteristics that are specific to each type of interface. See Section 10.2 on page 108 and Chapter 11 on page 146 for details. The other types of interfaces-- Ethernet, PPP, VLAN, bridge, and virtual--have a lot of similar characteristics. These characteristics are listed in the following table and discussed in more detail below.
Table 48 Ethernet, PPP, VLAN, Bridge, and Virtual Interface Characteristics
| CHARACTERISTICS | ETHERNET | ETHERNET | PPP | VLAN | BRIDGE | VIRTUAL |

- The format of interface names other than the Ethernet and ppp interface names is strict. Each name consists of 2-4 letters (interface type), followed by a number (x) . For most interfaces, x is limited by the maximum number of the type of interface. For VLAN interfaces, x is defined by the number you enter in the VLAN name field. For example, Ethernet interface names are wan1, lan1, lan2; VLAN interfaces are vlan0, vlan1, vlan2, ..., and so on.
** - The names of virtual interfaces are derived from the interfaces on which they are created. For example, virtual interfaces created on Ethernet interface wan1 are called wan1:1, wan1:2, and so on. Virtual interfaces created on VLAN interface vlan2 are called vlan2:1, vlan2:2, and so on. You cannot specify the number after the colon(:) in the

Web Configurator; it is a sequential number. You can specify the number after the colon if you use the CLI to set up a virtual interface.
Relationships Between Interfaces
In the UAG, interfaces are usually created on top of other interfaces. Only Ethernet interfaces are created directly on top of the physical ports or port groups. The relationships between interfaces are explained in the following table.
Table 49 Relationships Between Different Types of Interfaces
| INTERFACE | REQUIRED PORT / INTERFACE |
| port group | physical port |
| Ethernet interface | physical port |
| port group | |
| VLAN interface | Ethernet interface |
| bridge interface | Ethernet interface* |
| VLAN interface* | |
| PPP interface | Ethernet interface* |
| VLAN interface* | |

| virtual VLAN interface) | VLAN interface* |
| virtual bridge interface) | bridge interface |
| trunk | Ethernet interface |

| PPP interface |
-
- You cannot set up a PPP interface, virtual Ethernet interface or virtual VLAN interface if the underlying interface is a member of a bridge. You also cannot add an Ethernet interface or VLAN interface to a bridge if the member interface has a virtual interface or PPP interface on top of it.
Finding Out More
- See Section 10.8 on page 142 for background information on interfaces.
- See Chapter 11 on page 146 to configure load balancing using trunks.
10.2 Port Role Screen
To access this screen, click Configuration > Network > Interface > Port Role. Use the Port Role screen to set the UAG's flexible ports as part of the Ian1 or Ian2 interfaces. This creates a hardware connection between the physical ports at the layer-2 (data link, MAC address) level. This provides wire-speed throughput but no security.
Not the following if you are configuring from a computer connected to a lan1 or lan2 port and change the port's role:
- A port's IP address varies as its role changes, make sure your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the UAG's Ian1 or Ian2 IP address.
- Use the appropriate Ian1 or Ian2 IP address to access the UAG.

Figure 66 Configuration > Network > Interface > Port Role
The physical Ethernet ports are shown at the top and the Ethernet interfaces and zones are shown at the bottom of the screen. Use the radio buttons to select for which interface (network) you want to use each physical port. For example, select a port's lan1 radio button to use the port as part of the lan1 interface. The port will use the UAG's lan1 IP address and MAC address.
When you assign more than one physical port to a network, you create a port group. Port groups have the following characteristics:
- There is a layer-2 Ethernet switch between physical ports in the port group. This provides wire-speed throughput but no security.
- It can increase the bandwidth between the port group and other interfaces.
- The port group uses a single MAC address.
Click Apply to save your changes and apply them to the UAG.
Click Reset to change the port groups to their current configuration (last-saved values).
10.3 Ethernet Summary Screen
This screen lists every Ethernet interface and virtual interface created on top of Ethernet interfaces. To access this screen, click Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet.
Unlike other types of interfaces, you cannot create new Ethernet interfaces nor can you delete any of them. If an Ethernet interface does not have any physical ports assigned to it (see Section 10.2 on page 108), the Ethernet interface is effectively removed from the UAG, but you can still configure it.
Ethernet interfaces are similar to other types of interfaces in many ways. They have an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway used to make routing decisions. They restrict the amount of bandwidth and packet size. They can provide DHCP services, and they can verify the gateway is available.
Use Ethernet interfaces to control which physical ports exchange routing information with other routers and how much information is exchanged through each one. The more routing information is exchanged, the more efficient the routers should be. However, the routers also generate more network traffic, and some routing protocols require a significant amount of configuration and management.

Note: If you create IP address objects based on an interface's IP address, subnet, or gateway, the UAG automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the object whenever the interface's IP address settings change. For example, if you change the LAN's IP address, the UAG automatically updates the corresponding interface-based, LAN subnet address object.

| Interface Properties | |
| Interface Type | internal is for connecting to a local network. Other corresponding configuration options: DHCP server and DHCP relay. The UAG automatically adds default SNAT settings for traffic flowing from this interface to an external interface. external is for connecting to an external network (like the Internet). The UAG automatically adds this interface to the default WAN trunk. |
| Interface Name | Specify a name for the interface. It can use alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores, and it can be up to 11 characters long. |
| Port | This is the name of the Ethernet interface's physical port. |
| Zone | This is the zone to which this interface is to belong. You use zones to apply security settings such as firewall, and remote management. |
| MAC Address | This field is read-only. This is the MAC address that the Ethernet interface uses. |
| Description | Enter a description of this interface. It is not used elsewhere. You can use alphanumeric and ( ) + / : = ? ! * @ $ _ % - characters, and it can be up to 60 characters long. |
| IP Address Assignment | These IP address fields configure an IPv4 IP address on the interface itself. If you change this IP address on the interface, you may also need to change a related address object for the network connected to the interface. For example, if you use this screen to change the IP address of your LAN interface, you should also change the corresponding LAN subnet address object. |
| Get Automatically | This option appears when Interface Type is external. Select this to make the interface a DHCP client and automatically get the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address from a DHCP server. |
| Use Fixed IP Address | This option appears when Interface Type is external. Select this if you want to specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway manually. |
| IP Address | Enter the IP address for this interface. |
| Subnet Mask | Enter the subnet mask of this interface in dot decimal notation. The subnet mask indicates what part of the IP address is the same for all computers in the network. |
| Gateway | This option appears when Interface Type is external. Enter the IP address of the gateway. The UAG sends packets to the gateway when it does not know how to route the packet to its destination. The gateway should be on the same network as the interface. |
| Metric | This option appears when Interface Type is external. Enter the priority of the gateway (if any) on this interface. The UAG decides which gateway to use based on this priority. The lower the number, the higher the priority. If two or more gateways have the same priority, the UAG uses the one that was configured first. |
| Interface Parameters | |
| Egress Bandwidth | Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the UAG can send through the interface to the network. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576. |
| Ingress Bandwidth | This is reserved for future use. Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the UAG can receive from the network through the interface. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576. |
| MTU | Maximum Transmission Unit. Type the maximum size of each data packet, in bytes, that can move through this interface. If a larger packet arrives, the UAG divides it into smaller fragments. Allowed values are 576 - 1500. Usually, this value is 1500. |
| Connectivity Check | These fields appear when Interface Type is external.The interface can regularly check the connection to the gateway you specified to make sure it is still available. You specify how often the interface checks the connection, how long to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive failures are required before the UAG stops routing to the gateway. The UAG resumes routing to the gateway the first time the gateway passes the connectivity check. |
| Enable Connectivity Check | Select this to turn on the connection check. |
| Check Method | Select the method that the gateway allows.Select icmp to have the UAG regularly ping the gateway you specify to make sure it is still available.Select tcp to have the UAG regularly perform a TCP handshake with the gateway you specify to make sure it is still available. |

| Check this address | Select this to specify a domain name or IP address for the connectivity check. Enter that domain name or IP address in the field next to it. |
| Check Port | This field only displays when you set the Check Method to tcp. Specify the port number to use for a TCP connectivity check. |
| DHCP Setting | This section appears when Interface Type is internal. |
| DHCP | Select what type of DHCP service the UAG provides to the network. Choices are:None - the UAG does not provide any DHCP services. There is already a DHCP server on the network.DHCP Relay - the UAG routes DHCP requests to one or more DHCP servers you specify.The DHCP server(s) may be on another network.DHCP Server - the UAG assigns IP addresses and provides subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server information to the network. The UAG is the DHCP server for the network. |
| These fields appear if the UAG is a DHCP Relay. | |
| Relay Server 1 | Enter the IP address of a DHCP server for the network. |
| Relay Server 2 | This field is optional. Enter the IP address of another DHCP server for the network. |
| These fields appear if the UAG is a DHCP Server. | |
| IP Pool Start Address | Enter the IP address from which the UAG begins allocating IP addresses. If you want to assign a static IP address to a specific computer, use the Static DHCP Table.If this field is blank, the Pool Size must also be blank. In this case, the UAG can assign every IP address allowed by the interface's IP address and subnet mask, except for the first address (network address), last address (broadcast address) and the interface's IP address. |
| Pool Size | Enter the number of IP addresses to allocate. This number must be at least one and is limited by the interface's Subnet Mask. For example, if the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and IP Pool Start Address is 10.10.10.10, the UAG can allocate 10.10.10.10 to 10.10.10.254, or 245 IP addresses.If this field is blank, the IP Pool Start Address must also be blank. In this case, the UAG can assign every IP address allowed by the interface's IP address and subnet mask, except for the first address (network address), last address (broadcast address) and the interface's IP address. |
| First DNS Server, Second DNS Server, Third DNS Server | Specify the IP addresses up to three DNS servers for the DHCP clients to use. Use one of the following ways to specify these IP addresses.Custom Defined - enter a static IP address.From ISP - select the DNS server that another interface received from its DHCP server.Device - the DHCP clients use the IP address of this interface and the UAG works as a DNS relay. |
| First WINS Server, Second WINS Server | Type the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server that you want to send to the DHCP clients. The WINS server keeps a mapping table of the computer names on your network and the IP addresses that they are currently using. |
| Default Router | If you set this interface to DHCP Server, you can select to use either the interface's IP address or another IP address as the default router. This default router will become the DHCP clients' default gateway.To use another IP address as the default router, select Custom Defined and enter the IP address. |
| Lease time | Specify how long each computer can use the information (especially the IP address) before it has to request the information again. Choices are:infinite - select this if IP addresses never expire(days, hours, and minutes - select this to enter how long IP addresses are valid. |

10.4 PPP Interfaces
Use PPPoE/PPTP interfaces to connect to your ISP. This way, you do not have to install or manage PPPoE/PPTP software on each computer in the network.

Figure 72 Example: PPPoE/PPTP Interfaces
PPPoE/PPTP interfaces are similar to other interfaces in some ways. They have an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway used to make routing decisions; they restrict bandwidth and packet size; and they can verify the gateway is available. There are two main differences between PPPoE/ PPTP interfaces and other interfaces.
- You must also configure an ISP account object for the PPPoE/PPTP interface to use.
Each ISP account specifies the protocol (PPPoE or PPTP), as well as your ISP account information. If you change ISPs later, you only have to create a new ISP account, not a new PPPoE/PPTP interface. You should not have to change any network policies. - You do not set up the subnet mask or gateway.
PPPoE/PPTP interfaces are interfaces between the UAG and only one computer. Therefore, the subnet mask is always 255.255.255.255. In addition, the UAG always treats the ISP as a gateway.

10.5 VLAN Interfaces
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) divides a physical network into multiple logical networks. The standard is defined in IEEE 802.1q.
In this example, there are two physical networks and three departments A, B, and C. The physical networks are connected to hubs, and the hubs are connected to the router.

Figure 75 Example: Before VLAN
Alternatively, you can divide the physical networks into three VLANs.

Figure 76 Example: After VLAN
Each VLAN is a separate network with separate IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateways. Each VLAN also has a unique identification number (ID). The ID is a 12-bit value that is stored in the MAC header. The VLANs are connected to switches, and the switches are connected to the router. (If one switch has enough connections for the entire network, the network does not need switches A and B.)
- Traffic inside each VLAN is layer-2 communication (data link layer, MAC addresses). It is handled by the switches. As a result, the new switch is required to handle traffic inside VLAN 2. Traffic is only broadcast inside each VLAN, not each physical network.
- Traffic between VLANs (or between a VLAN and another type of network) is layer-3 communication (network layer, IP addresses). It is handled by the router.
This approach provides a few advantages.
- Increased performance - In VLAN 2, the extra switch should route traffic inside the sales department faster than the router does. In addition, broadcasts are limited to smaller, more logical groups of users.
- Higher security - If each computer has a separate physical connection to the switch, then broadcast traffic in each VLAN is never sent to computers in another VLAN.
- Better manageability - You can align network policies more appropriately for users. For example, you can set different bandwidth limits for each VLAN (each department in the example above). These rules are also independent of the physical network, so you can change the physical network without changing policies.
In this example, the new switch handles the following types of traffic:
- Inside VLAN 2.
- Between the router and VLAN 1.
- Between the router and VLAN 2.
- Between the router and VLAN 3.
VLAN Interfaces Overview
In the UAG, each VLAN is called a VLAN interface. As a router, the UAG routes traffic between VLAN interfaces, but it does not route traffic within a VLAN interface. All traffic for each VLAN interface can go through only one Ethernet interface, though each Ethernet interface can have one or more VLAN interfaces.
Note: Each VLAN interface is created on top of only one Ethernet interface.
Otherwise, VLAN interfaces are similar to other interfaces in many ways. They have an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway used to make routing decisions. They restrict bandwidth and packet size. They can provide DHCP services, and they can verify the gateway is available.

10.6 Bridge Interfaces
This section introduces bridges and bridge interfaces and then explains the screens for bridge interfaces.
Bridge Overview
A bridge creates a connection between two or more network segments at the layer-2 (MAC address) level. In the following example, bridge X connects four network segments.

When the bridge receives a packet, the bridge records the source MAC address and the port on which it was received in a table. It also looks up the destination MAC address in the table. If the bridge knows on which port the destination MAC address is located, it sends the packet to that port. If the destination MAC address is not in the table, the bridge broadcasts the packet on every port (except the one on which it was received).
In the example above, computer A sends a packet to computer B. Bridge X records the source address 0A:0A:0A:0A:0A and port 2 in the table. It also looks up 0B:0B:0B:0B:0B in the table. There is no entry yet, so the bridge broadcasts the packet on ports 1, 3, and 4.
Table 59 Example: Bridge Table After Computer A Sends a Packet to Computer B
| MAC ADDRESS | PORT |
| 0A:0A:0A:0A:0A:0A | 2 |
If computer B responds to computer A, bridge X records the source address 0B:0B:0B:0B:0B and port 4 in the table. It also looks up 0A:0A:0A:0A:0A:0A in the table and sends the packet to port 2 accordingly.
Table 60 Example: Bridge Table After Computer B Responds to Computer A
| MAC ADDRESS | PORT |
| 0A:0A:0A:0A:0A:0A | 2 |
| 0B:0B:0B:0B:0B:0B | 4 |
Bridge Interface Overview
A bridge interface creates a software bridge between the members of the bridge interface. It also becomes the UAG's interface for the resulting network.
This UAG can bridge traffic between some interfaces while it routes traffic for other interfaces. The bridge interfaces also support more functions, like interface bandwidth parameters, DHCP settings, and connectivity check. To use the whole UAG as a transparent bridge, add all of the UAG's interfaces to a bridge interface.
A bridge interface may consist of the following members:
Zero or one VLAN interfaces (and any associated virtual VLAN interfaces)
- Any number of Ethernet interfaces (and any associated virtual Ethernet interfaces)
When you create a bridge interface, the UAG removes the members' entries from the routing table and adds the bridge interface's entries to the routing table. For example, this table shows the routing table before and after you create bridge interface br0 (250.250.250.0/23) between lan1 and vlan1.
Table 61 Example: Routing Table Before and After Bridge Interface br0 Is Created
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 210.210.210.0/24 | lan1 |
| 210.211.1.0/24 | lan1:1 |
| 221.221.221.0/24 | vlan0 |
| 222.222.222.0/24 | vlan1 |
| 230.230.230.192/26 | wan1 |
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 221.221.221.0/24 | vlan0 |
| 230.230.230.192/26 | wan1 |
In this example, virtual Ethernet interface lan1:1 is also removed from the routing table when lan1 is added to br0. Virtual interfaces are automatically added to or remove from a bridge interface when the underlying interface is added or removed.

10.7 Virtual Interfaces
Use virtual interfaces to tell the UAG where to route packets.
Virtual interfaces can be created on top of Ethernet interfaces, VLAN interfaces, or bridge interfaces. Virtual VLAN interfaces recognize and use the same VLAN ID. Otherwise, there is no difference between each type of virtual interface. Network policies (for example, firewall rules) that apply to the underlying interface automatically apply to the virtual interface as well.
Like other interfaces, virtual interfaces have an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway used to make routing decisions. However, you have to manually specify the IP address and subnet mask; virtual interfaces cannot be DHCP clients. Like other interfaces, you can restrict bandwidth through virtual interfaces, but you cannot change the MTU. The virtual interface uses the same MTU that the underlying interface uses. Unlike other interfaces, virtual interfaces do not provide DHCP services, and they do not verify that the gateway is available.
10.7.1 Virtual Interfaces Add/Edit
This screen lets you configure IP address assignment and interface parameters for virtual interfaces. To access this screen, click the Create Virtual Interface icon in the Ethernet, VLAN, or bridge interface summary screen.

10.8 Interface Technical Reference
Here is more detailed information about interfaces on the UAG.
IP Address Assignment
Most interfaces have an IP address and a subnet mask. This information is used to create an entry in the routing table.

Figure 82 Example: Entry in the Routing Table Derived from Interfaces
Table 65 Example: Routing Table Entries for Interfaces
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 100.100.1.1/16 | lan1 |
| 200.200.200.1/24 | wan1 |
For example, if the UAG gets a packet with a destination address of 100.100.25.25, it routes the packet to interface lan1. If the UAG gets a packet with a destination address of 200.200.200.200, it routes the packet to interface wan1.
In most interfaces, you can enter the IP address and subnet mask manually. In PPPoE/PPTP interfaces, however, the subnet mask is always 255.255.255.255 because it is a point-to-point interface. For these interfaces, you can only enter the IP address.
In many interfaces, you can also let the IP address and subnet mask be assigned by an external DHCP server on the network. In this case, the interface is a DHCP client. Virtual interfaces, however, cannot be DHCP clients. You have to assign the IP address and subnet mask manually.
In general, the IP address and subnet mask of each interface should not overlap, though it is possible for this to happen with DHCP clients.
In the example above, if the UAG gets a packet with a destination address of 5.5.5.5, it might not find any entries in the routing table. In this case, the packet is dropped. However, if there is a default router to which the UAG should send this packet, you can specify it as a gateway in one of the interfaces. For example, if there is a default router at 200.200.200.100, you can create a gateway at 200.200.200.100 on wan1. In this case, the UAG creates the following entry in the routing table.
Table 66 Example: Routing Table Entry for a Gateway
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 0.0.0.0/0 | 200.200.200.100 |
The gateway is an optional setting for each interface. If there is more than one gateway, the UAG uses the gateway with the lowest metric, or cost. If two or more gateways have the same metric, the UAG uses the one that was set up first (the first entry in the routing table). In PPPoE/PPTP interfaces, the other computer is the gateway for the interface by default. In this case, you should specify the metric.
If the interface gets its IP address and subnet mask from a DHCP server, the DHCP server also specifies the gateway, if any.
Interface Parameters
The UAG restricts the amount of traffic into and out of the UAG through each interface.
- Egress bandwidth sets the amount of traffic the UAG sends out through the interface to the network.
- Ingress bandwidth sets the amount of traffic the UAG allows in through the interface from the network.
If you set the bandwidth restrictions very high, you effectively remove the restrictions.
The UAG also restricts the size of each data packet. The maximum number of bytes in each packet is called the maximum transmission unit (MTU). If a packet is larger than the MTU, the UAG divides it into smaller fragments. Each fragment is sent separately, and the original packet is re-assembled later. The smaller the MTU, the more fragments sent, and the more work required to re-assemble packets correctly. On the other hand, some communication channels, such as Ethernet over ATM, might not be able to handle large data packets.
DHCP Settings
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131, RFC 2132) provides a way to automatically set up and maintain IP addresses, subnet masks, gateways, and some network information (such as the IP addresses of DNS servers) on computers in the network. This reduces the amount of manual configuration you have to do and usually uses available IP addresses more efficiently.
In DHCP, every network has at least one DHCP server. When a computer (a DHCP client) joins the network, it submits a DHCP request. The DHCP servers get the request; assign an IP address; and provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and available network information to the DHCP client. When the DHCP client leaves the network, the DHCP servers can assign its IP address to another DHCP client.
In the UAG, some interfaces can provide DHCP services to the network. In this case, the interface can be a DHCP relay or a DHCP server.
As a DHCP relay, the interface routes DHCP requests to DHCP servers on different networks. You can specify more than one DHCP server. If you do, the interface routes DHCP requests to all of them. It is possible for an interface to be a DHCP relay and a DHCP client simultaneously.
As a DHCP server, the interface provides the following information to DHCP clients.
- IP address - If the DHCP client's MAC address is in the UAG's static DHCP table, the interface assigns the corresponding IP address. If not, the interface assigns IP addresses from a pool, defined by the starting address of the pool and the pool size.
Table 67 Example:Assigning IP Addresses from a Pool
| START IP ADDRESS | POOL SIZE | RANGE OF ASSIGNED IP ADDRESS |
| 50.50.50.33 | 5 | 50.50.50.33 - 50.50.50.37 |
| 75.75.75.1 | 200 | 75.75.75.1 - 75.75.75.200 |
| 99.99.1.1 | 1023 | 99.99.1.1 - 99.99.4.255 |
| 120.120.120.100 | 100 | 120.120.120.100 - 120.120.120.199 |
The UAG cannot assign the first address (network address) or the last address (broadcast address) in the subnet defined by the interface's IP address and subnet mask. For example, in the first entry, if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the UAG cannot assign 50.50.50.0 or 50.50.50.255. If the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, the UAG cannot assign 50.50.0.0 or 50.50.255.255. Otherwise, it can assign every IP address in the range, except the interface's IP address.
If you do not specify the starting address or the pool size, the interface the maximum range of IP addresses allowed by the interface's IP address and subnet mask. For example, if the interface's IP address is 9.9.9.1 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the starting IP address in the pool is 9.9.9.2, and the pool size is 253.
- Subnet mask - The interface provides the same subnet mask you specify for the interface. See IP Address Assignment on page 142.
- Gateway - The interface provides the same gateway you specify for the interface. See IP Address Assignment on page 142.
- DNS servers - The interface provides IP addresses for up to three DNS servers that provide DNS services for DHCP clients. You can specify each IP address manually (for example, a company's own DNS server), or you can refer to DNS servers that other interfaces received from DHCP servers (for example, a DNS server at an ISP). These other interfaces have to be DHCP clients.
It is not possible for an interface to be the DHCP server and a DHCP client simultaneously.
WINS
WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) is a Windows implementation of NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS) on Windows. It keeps track of NetBIOS computer names. It stores a mapping table of your network's computer names and IP addresses. The table is dynamically updated for IP addresses assigned by DHCP. This helps reduce broadcast traffic since computers can query the server instead of broadcasting a request for a computer name's IP address. In this way WINS is similar to DNS, although WINS does not use a hierarchy (unlike DNS). A network can have more than one WINS server. Samba can also serve as a WINS server.
PPPoE/PPTP Overview
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE, RFC 2516) and Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP, RFC 2637) are usually used to connect two computers over phone lines or broadband connections. PPPoE is often used with cable modems and DSL connections. It provides the following advantages:
- The access and authentication method works with existing systems, including RADIUS.
- You can access one of several network services. This makes it easier for the service provider to offer the service
- PPPoE does not usually require any special configuration of the modem.
PPTP is used to set up virtual private networks (VPN) in unsecure TCP/IP environments. It sets up two sessions.
1 The first one runs on TCP port 1723. It is used to start and manage the second one.
2 The second one uses Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE, RFC 2890) to transfer information between the computers.
PPTP is convenient and easy-to-use, but you have to make sure that firewalls support both PPTP sessions.
11.1 Overview
Use trunks for WAN traffic load balancing to increase overall network throughput and reliability. Load balancing divides traffic loads between multiple interfaces. This allows you to improve quality of service and maximize bandwidth utilization for multiple ISP links.
Maybe you have two Internet connections with different bandwidths. You could set up a trunk that uses spillover or weighted round robin load balancing so time-sensitive traffic (like video) usually goes through the higher-bandwidth interface. For other traffic, you might want to use least load first load balancing to even out the distribution of the traffic load.
Suppose ISP A has better connections to Europe while ISP B has better connections to Australia. You could use policy routes and trunks to have traffic for your European branch office primarily use ISP A and traffic for your Australian branch office primarily use ISP B.
Or maybe one of the UAG's interfaces is connected to an ISP that is also your Voice over IP (VoIP) service provider. You can use policy routing to send the VoIP traffic through a trunk with the interface connected to the VoIP service provider set to active and another interface (connected to another ISP) set to passive. This way VoIP traffic goes through the interface connected to the VoIP service provider whenever the interface's connection is up.
11.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Trunk summary screen (Section 11.2 on page 149) to configure link sticking and view the list of configured trunks and which load balancing algorithm each trunk uses.
- Use the Add Trunk screen (Section 11.2.1 on page 150) to configure the member interfaces for a trunk and the load balancing algorithm the trunk uses.
- Use the Add System Default screen (Section 11.2.2 on page 152) to configure the load balancing algorithm for the system default trunk.
11.1.2 What You Need to Know
- Add WAN interfaces to trunks to have multiple connections share the traffic load.
- If one WAN interface's connection goes down, the UAG sends traffic through another member of the trunk.
- For example, you connect one WAN interface to one ISP and connect a second WAN interface to a second ISP. The UAG balances the WAN traffic load between the connections. If one interface's connection goes down, the UAG can automatically send its traffic through another interface.
You can also use trunks with policy routing to send specific traffic types through the best WAN interface for that type of traffic.
- If that interface's connection goes down, the UAG can still send its traffic through another interface.
- You can define multiple trunks for the same physical interfaces.
Load Balancing Algorithms
The following sections describe the load balancing algorithms the UAG can use to decide which interface the traffic (from the LAN) should use for a session2. The available bandwidth you configure on the UAG refers to the actual bandwidth provided by the ISP and the measured bandwidth refers to the bandwidth an interface is currently using.
Least Load First
The least load first algorithm uses the current (or recent) outbound bandwidth utilization of each trunk member interface as the load balancing index(es) when making decisions about to which interface a new session is to be distributed. The outbound bandwidth utilization is defined as the measured outbound throughput over the available outbound bandwidth.
Here the UAG has two WAN interfaces connected to the Internet. The configured available outbound bandwidths for wan1 and ppp0 are 512K and 256K respectively.

Figure 83 Least Load First Example
The outbound bandwidth utilization is used as the load balancing index. In this example, the measured (current) outbound throughput of wan1 is 412K and ppp0 is 198K. The UAG calculates the load balancing index as shown in the table below.
Since ppp0 has a smaller load balancing index (meaning that it is less utilized than wan1), the UAG will send the subsequent new session traffic through ppp0.
Table 68 Least Load First Example
| INTERFACE | OUTBOUND | LOAD BALANCING INDEX (M/A) | |
| AVAILABLE (A) | MEASURED (M) | ||
| wan1 | 512 K | 412 K | 0.8 |
| ppp0 | 256 K | 198 K | 0.77 |
Weighted Round Robin
Round Robin scheduling services queues on a rotating basis and is activated only when an interface has more traffic than it can handle. A queue is given an amount of bandwidth irrespective of the incoming traffic on that interface. This queue then moves to the back of the list. The next queue is
given an equal amount of bandwidth, and then moves to the end of the list; and so on, depending on the number of queues being used. This works in a looping fashion until a queue is empty.
The Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithm is best suited for situations when the bandwidths set for the two WAN interfaces are different. Similar to the Round Robin (RR) algorithm, the Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithm sets the UAG to send traffic through each WAN interface in turn. In addition, the WAN interfaces are assigned weights. An interface with a larger weight gets more chances to transmit traffic than an interface with a smaller weight.
For example, in the figure below, the configured available bandwidth of wan1 is 1M and ppp0 is 512K. You can set the UAG to distribute the network traffic between the two interfaces by setting the weight of wan1 and ppp0 to 2 and 1 respectively. The UAG assigns the traffic of two sessions to wan1 and one session's traffic to ppp0 in each round of 3 new sessions.

Figure 84 Weighted Round Robin Algorithm Example
Spillover
The spillover load balancing algorithm sends network traffic to the first interface in the trunk member list until the interface's maximum allowable load is reached, then sends the excess network traffic of new sessions to the next interface in the trunk member list. This continues as long as there are more member interfaces and traffic to be sent through them.
Suppose the first trunk member interface uses an unlimited access Internet connection and the second is billed by usage. Spillover load balancing only uses the second interface when the traffic load exceeds the threshold on the first interface. This fully utilizes the bandwidth of the first interface to reduce Internet usage fees and avoid overloading the interface.
In this example figure, the upper threshold of the first interface is set to 800K. The UAG sends network traffic of new sessions that exceed this limit to the secondary WAN interface.

Policy and Static Routes
12.1 Policy and Static Routes Overview
Use policy routes and static routes to override the UAG's default routing behavior in order to send packets through the appropriate interface.
For example, the next figure shows a computer (A) connected to the UAG's LAN interface. The UAG routes most traffic from A to the Internet through the UAG's default gateway (R1). You create one policy route to connect to services offered by your ISP behind router R2. You create another policy route to communicate with a separate network behind another router (R3) connected to the LAN.

Figure 89 Example of Policy Routing Topology
12.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Policy Route screens (see Section 12.2 on page 156) to list and configure policy routes.
- Use the Static Route screens (see Section 12.3 on page 161) to list and configure static routes.
12.1.2 What You Need to Know
Policy Routing
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the UAG takes the shortest path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator.
Policy-based routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface basis, prior to the normal routing.
How You Can Use Policy Routing
- Source-Based Routing - Network administrators can use policy-based routing to direct traffic from different users through different connections.
- Cost Savings - IPPR allows organizations to distribute interactive traffic on high-bandwidth, high-cost paths while using low-cost paths for batch traffic.
- Load Sharing - Network administrators can use IPPR to distribute traffic among multiple paths.
- NAT - The UAG performs NAT by default for traffic going to or from the WAN interfaces. A routing policy's SNAT allows network administrators to have traffic received on a specified interface use a specified IP address as the source IP address.
Note: The UAG automatically uses SNAT for traffic it routes from internal interfaces to external interfaces. For example LAN to WAN traffic.
Static Routes
The UAG usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN to the Internet. To have the UAG send data to devices not reachable through the default gateway, use static routes.
Policy Routes Versus Static Routes
- Policy routes are more flexible than static routes. You can select more criteria for the traffic to match and can also use schedules, and NAT.
Policy routes are only used within the UAG itself. - Policy routes take priority over static routes. If you need to use a routing policy on the UAG and propagate it to other routers, you could configure a policy route and an equivalent static route.
DiffServ
QoS is used to prioritize source-to-destination traffic flows. All packets in the same flow are given the same priority. CoS (class of service) is a way of managing traffic in a network by grouping similar types of traffic together and treating each type as a class. You can use CoS to give different priorities to different packet types.
DiffServ (Differentiated Services) is a class of service (CoS) model that marks packets so that they receive specific per-hop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route based on the application types and traffic flow. Packets are marked with DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs) indicating the level of service desired. This allows the intermediary DiffServ-compliant network devices to handle the packets differently depending on the code points without the need to negotiate paths or remember state information for every flow. In addition, applications do not have to request a particular service or give advanced notice of where the traffic is going.
DSCP Marking and Per-Hop Behavior
DiffServ defines a new DS (Differentiated Services) field to replace the Type of Service (TOS) field in the IP header. The DS field contains a 2-bit unused field and a 6-bit DSCP field which can define up to 64 service levels. The following figure illustrates the DS field.
| DSCP (6 bits) | Unused (2 bits) |
DSCP is backward compatible with the three precedence bits in the ToS octet so that non-DiffServ compliant, ToS-enabled network device will not conflict with the DSCP mapping.
The DSCP value determines the forwarding behavior, the PHB (Per-Hop Behavior), that each packet gets across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule, different kinds of traffic can be marked for different kinds of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the configured policies.
Finding Out More
- See Section 12.4 on page 163 for more background information on policy routing.
12.2 Policy Route Screen
Click Configuration > Network > Routing to open the Policy Route screen. Use this screen to see the configured policy routes.
A policy route defines the matching criteria and the action to take when a packet meets the criteria. The action is taken only when all the criteria are met. The criteria can include the user name, source address and incoming interface, destination address, schedule, IP protocol (ICMP, UDP, TCP, etc.) and port.
The actions that can be taken include:
- Routing the packet to a different gateway, outgoing interface, or trunk.
IPPR follows the existing packet filtering facility of RAS in style and in implementation.

12.4 Policy Routing Technical Reference
Here is more detailed information about some of the features you can configure in policy routing.
NAT and SNAT
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address in a packet in one network to a different IP address in another network. Use SNAT (Source NAT) to change the source IP address in one network to a different IP address in another network.
Assured Forwarding (AF) PHB for DiffServ
Assured Forwarding (AF) behavior is defined in RFC 2597. The AF behavior group defines four AF classes. Inside each class, packets are given a high, medium or low drop precedence. The drop precedence determines the probability that routers in the network will drop packets when congestion occurs. If congestion occurs between classes, the traffic in the higher class (smaller numbered class) is generally given priority. Combining the classes and drop precedence produces the following twelve DSCP encodings from AF11 through AF43. The decimal equivalent is listed in brackets.
Table 76 Assured Forwarding (AF) Behavior Group
| CLASS 1 | CLASS 2 | CLASS 3 | CLASS 4 | |
| Low Drop Precedence | AF11 (10) | AF21 (18) | AF31 (26) | AF41 (34) |
| Medium Drop Precedence | AF12 (12) | AF22 (20) | AF32 (28) | AF42 (36) |
| High Drop Precedence | AF13 (14) | AF23 (22) | AF33 (30) | AF43 (38) |
13.1 Zones Overview
Set up zones to configure network security and network policies in the UAG. A zone is a group of interfaces. The UAG uses zones instead of interfaces in many security and policy settings, such as firewall rules and remote management.
Zones cannot overlap. Each Ethernet interface, VLAN interface, bridge interface, and PPPoE/PPTP interface can be assigned to at most one zone. Virtual interfaces are automatically assigned to the same zone as the interface on which they run.

Figure 94 Example: Zones
13.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the Zone screens (see Section 13.2 on page 165) to manage the UAG's zones.
13.1.2 What You Need to Know
Effects of Zones on Different Types of Traffic
Zones effectively divide traffic into three types--intra-zone traffic, inter-zone traffic, and extra-zone traffic--which are affected differently by zone-based security and policy settings.
Intra-zone Traffic
- Intra-zone traffic is traffic between interfaces in the same zone. For example, in Figure 94 on page 164, traffic between VLAN1 and the Ethernet is intra-zone traffic.
- You can also set up firewall rules to control intra-zone traffic (for example, LAN1-to-LAN1), but many other types of zone-based security and policy settings do not affect intra-zone traffic.
Inter-zone Traffic
Inter-zone traffic is traffic between interfaces in different zones. For example, in Figure 94 on page 164, traffic between VLAN1 and the Internet is inter-zone traffic. This is the normal case when zone-based security and policy settings apply.
Extra-zone Traffic
- Extra-zone traffic is traffic to or from any interface that is not assigned to a zone. For example, in Figure 94 on page 164, traffic to or from computer C is extra-zone traffic.
- Some zone-based security and policy settings may apply to extra-zone traffic, especially if you can set the zone attribute in them to Any or All. See the specific feature for more information.
13.2 The Zone Screen
The Zone screen provides a summary of all zones. In addition, this screen allows you to add, edit, and remove zones. To access this screen, click Configuration > Network > Zone.

14.1 DDNS Overview
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) services let you use a domain name with a dynamic IP address.
14.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the DDNS screen (see Section 14.2 on page 169) to view a list of the configured DDNS domain names and their details.
- Use the DDNS Add/Edit screen (see Section 14.2.1 on page 170) to add a domain name to the UAG or to edit the configuration of an existing domain name.
14.1.2 What You Need to Know
DNS maps a domain name to a corresponding IP address and vice versa. Similarly, dynamic DNS maps a domain name to a dynamic IP address. As a result, anyone can use the domain name to contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.) or to access your FTP server or Web site, regardless of the current IP address.
Note: You must have a public WAN IP address to use Dynamic DNS.
You must set up a dynamic DNS account with a supported DNS service provider before you can use Dynamic DNS services with the UAG. When registration is complete, the DNS service provider gives you a password or key. At the time of writing, the UAG supports the following DNS service providers. See the listed websites for details about the DNS services offered by each.
Table 79 DDNS Service Providers
| PROVIDER | SERVICE TYPES SUPPORTED | WEBSITE |
| DynDNS | Dynamic DNS, Static DNS, and Custom DNS | www.dyndns.com |
| Dynu | Basic, Premium | www.dynu.com |
| No-IP | No-IP | www.no-ip.com |
| Peanut Hull | Peanut Hull | www.oray.cn |
| 3322 | 3322 Dynamic DNS, 3322 Static DNS | www.3322.org |
Note: Record your DDNS account's user name, password, and domain name to use to configure the UAG.
After, you configure the UAG, it automatically sends updated IP addresses to the DDNS service provider, which helps redirect traffic accordingly.
14.2 The DDNS Screen
The DDNS screen provides a summary of all DDNS domain names and their configuration. In addition, this screen allows you to add new domain names, edit the configuration for existing domain names, and delete domain names. Click Configuration > Network > DDNS to open the following screen.

15.1 NAT Overview
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. For example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network is changed to a different IP address known within another network. Use Network Address Translation (NAT) to make computers on a private network behind the UAG available outside the private network. If the UAG has only one public IP address, you can make the computers in the private network available by using ports to forward packets to the appropriate private IP address.
Suppose you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 172.16.0.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet.

Figure 99 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example

Figure 101 Configuration > Network > NAT > Add
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 83 Configuration > Network > NAT > Add
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Create new Object | Use to configure any new settings objects that you need to use in this screen. |
| Enable Rule | Use this option to turn the NAT rule on or off. |
| Rule Name | Type in the name of the NAT rule. The name is used to refer to the NAT rule. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(____), or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive. |
| Classification | Select what kind of NAT this rule is to perform. Virtual Server - This makes computers on a private network behind the UAG available to a public network outside the UAG (like the Internet). 1:1 NAT - If the private network server will initiate sessions to the outside clients, select this to have the UAG translate the source IP address of the server's outgoing traffic to the same public IP address that the outside clients use to access the server. Many 1:1 NAT - If you have a range of private network servers that will initiate sessions to the outside clients and a range of public IP addresses, select this to have the UAG translate the source IP address of each server's outgoing traffic to the same one of the public IP addresses that the outside clients use to access the server. The private and public ranges must have the same number of IP addresses. One many 1:1 NAT rule works like multiple 1:1 NAT rules, but it eases configuration effort since you only create one rule. |
| Incoming Interface | Select the interface on which packets for the NAT rule must be received. It can be an Ethernet, VLAN, bridge, or PPPoE/PPTP interface. |
| Original IP | Specify the destination IP address of the packets received by this NAT rule's specified incoming interface. any - Select this to use all of the incoming interface's IP addresses including dynamic addresses or those of any virtual interfaces built upon the selected incoming interface. User Defined - Select this to manually enter an IP address in the User Defined Original IP field. For example, you could enter a static public IP assigned by the ISP without having to create a virtual interface for it. Host address - select a host address object to use the IP address it specifies. The list also includes address objects based on interface IPs. So for example you could select an address object based on a WAN interface even if it has a dynamic IP address. |
| User-Defined Original IP | This field is available if Original IP is User Defined. Type the destination IP address that this NAT rule supports. |
| Original IP Subnet/Range | This field displays for Many 1:1 NAT. Select the destination IP address subnet or IP address range that this NAT rule supports. The original and mapped IP address subnets or ranges must have the same number of IP addresses. |
| Mapped IP | Select to which translated destination IP address this NAT rule forwards packets. User Defined - this NAT rule supports a specific IP address, specified in the User-Defined Mapped IP field. |
| User-Defined Mapped IP | This field is available if Mapped IP is User Defined. Type the translated destination IP address that this NAT rule supports. |
| Mapped IP Subnet/Range | This field displays for Many 1:1 NAT. Select to which translated destination IP address subnet or IP address range this NAT rule forwards packets. The original and mapped IP address subnets or ranges must have the same number of IP addresses. |
| Port Mapping Type | Use the drop-down list box to select how many original destination ports this NAT rule supports for the selected destination IP address (Original IP). Choices are:Any - this NAT rule supports all the destination ports. Service - this NAT rule supports the destination port(s) used by the specified service(s). Port - this NAT rule supports one destination port. Ports - this NAT rule supports a range of destination ports. You might use a range of destination ports for unknown services or when one server supports more than one service.This field is read-only and displays any for Many 1:1 NAT. |
| Original Service | This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Service. Select the original service whose destination port(s) is supported by this NAT rule. |
| Mapped Service | This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Service. Select the translated service whose destination port(s) is supported if this NAT rule forwards the packet. |
| Protocol Type | This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Port or Ports. Select the protocol (TCP,UDP, or any) used by the service requesting the connection. |
| Original Port | This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Port. Enter the original destination port this NAT rule supports. |
| Mapped Port | This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Port. Enter the translated destination port if this NAT rule forwards the packet. |
| Original Start Port | This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Ports. Enter the beginning of the range of original destination ports this NAT rule supports. |
| Original End Port | This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Ports. Enter the end of the range of original destination ports this NAT rule supports. |
| Mapped Start Port | This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Ports. Enter the beginning of the range of translated destination ports if this NAT rule forwards the packet. |
| Mapped End Port | This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Ports. Enter the end of the range of translated destination ports if this NAT rule forwards the packet. The original port range and the mapped port range must be the same size. |
| Enable NAT Loopback | Enable NAT loopback to allow users connected to any interface (instead of just the specified Incoming Interface) to use the NAT rule's specified Original IP address to access the Mapped IP device. For users connected to the same interface as the Mapped IP device, the UAG uses that interface's IP address as the source address for the traffic it sends from the users to the Mapped IP device.For example, if you configure a NAT rule to forward traffic from the WAN to a LAN server, enabling NAT loopback allows users connected to other interfaces to also access the server. For LAN users, the UAG uses the LAN interface's IP address as the source address for the traffic it sends to the LAN server. See NAT Loopback on page 178 for more details.If you do not enable NAT loopback, this NAT rule only applies to packets received on the rule's specified incoming interface. |
| Firewall | By default the firewall blocks incoming connections from external addresses. After you configure your NAT rule settings, click the Firewall link to configure a firewall rule to allow the NAT rule's traffic to come in.The UAG checks NAT rules before it applies To-Device firewall rules, so To-Device firewall rules do not apply to traffic that is forwarded by NAT rules. The UAG still checks other firewall rules according to the source IP address and mapped IP address. |

15.3 NAT Technical Reference
Here is more detailed information about NAT on the UAG.
NAT Loopback
Suppose an NAT 1:1 rule maps a public IP address to the private IP address of a LAN SMTP e-mail server to give WAN users access. NAT loopback allows other users to also use the rule's original IP to access the mail server.
For example, a LAN user's computer at IP address 172.16.0.89 queries a public DNS server to resolve the SMTP server's domain name (xxx.LAN-SMTP.com in this example) and gets the SMTP server's mapped public IP address of 1.1.1.1.

Figure 102 LAN Computer Queries a Public DNS Server
The LAN user's computer then sends traffic to IP address 1.1.1.1. NAT loopback uses the IP address of the UAG's lan1 interface (172.16.0.1) as the source address of the traffic going from the LAN users to the LAN SMTP server.

Figure 103 LAN to LAN Traffic
The LAN SMTP server replies to the UAG's LAN IP address and the UAG changes the source address to 1.1.1.1 before sending it to the LAN user. The return traffic's source matches the original destination address (1.1.1.1). If the SMTP server replied directly to the LAN user without the traffic going through NAT, the source would not match the original destination address which would cause the LAN user's computer to shut down the session.

Figure 104 LAN to LAN Return Traffic
VPN 1-1 mapping allows an authenticated user in your network to access the Internet or an external server using a public IP address different from the one used by the UAG's WAN interface. With VPN 1-1 mapping, each user that logs into the UAG and matches a pre-configured mapping rule can obtain an individual public IP address.
For example, users A and B are behind the UAG and both want to use a unique WAN IP address to access a public server through the UAG's WAN1 interface. After the user is authenticated by the UAG and meets the criteria in a VPN 1-1 mapping rule, the UAG applies the rule settings and assigns a public IP address to the user. Outgoing traffic from user A will then be sent through the WAN1 interface using the mapped public IP address 10.10.1.35. Outgoing traffic from user B will be sent through the WAN1 interface using the mapped public IP address 10.10.1.36.

Figure 105 VPN 1-1 Mapping Example
16.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the VPN 1-1 Mapping screens (see Section 16.2 on page 181) to enable and configure VPN 1-1 mapping to assign a public IP address to each of users that match the rules.
- Use the VPN 1-1 Mapping > Profile screen (see Section 16.3 on page 183) to configure a pool profile which defines the public IP address(es) that the UAG assigns to the matched users and the interface through which the user's traffic is forwarded.
16.1.2 What You Need to Know
VPN 1-1 Mapping, Firewall and Policy Route
With VPN 1-1 mapping, the relevant packet flow for traffic from the matched user is:
1 Firewall
2 Policy Route
3 VPN 1-1 Mapping
If you set a policy route to the same user/user group as a VPN 1-1 mapping rule, the UAG checks the policy routing rules first and forwards the traffic to a specified next-hop if matched. You need to make sure there is no firewall rule(s) blocking the traffic from the matched user or user group.
To make the example in Figure 105 on page 180 work, make sure you have the following settings. For traffic between Ian1 or Ian2 and wan1:
- a from LAN1/LAN2 to WAN firewall rule (default) to allow any traffic from the user A/B from Ian1 or Ian2 to wan1. Responses to this request are allowed automatically.
- a VPN 1-1 mapping rule to forward any traffic from the user A/B through the wan1 interface using a unique public IP address.
16.2 The VPN 1-1 Mapping General Screen

17.1 Overview
HTTP redirect forwards the client's HTTP request (except HTTP traffic destined for the UAG) to a web proxy server. In the following example, proxy server A is connected to the Ian2 interface in the LAN2 zone. When a client connected to the Ian1 interface in the LAN1 zone wants to open a web page, its HTTP request is redirected to proxy server A first. If proxy server A cannot find the web page in its cache, a policy route allows it to access the Internet to get them from a server. Proxy server A then forwards the response to the client.

Figure 109 HTTP Redirect Example
17.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the HTTP Redirect screens (see Section 17.2 on page 186) to display and edit the HTTP redirect rules.
17.1.2 What You Need to Know
Web Proxy Server
A proxy server helps client devices make indirect requests to access the Internet or outside network resources/services. A proxy server can act as a firewall or an ALG (application layer gateway) between the private network and the Internet or other networks. It also keeps hackers from knowing internal IP addresses.
A client connects to a web proxy server each time he/she wants to access the Internet. The web proxy provides caching service to allow quick access and reduce network usage. The proxy checks its local cache for the requested web resource first. If it is not found, the proxy gets it from the specified server and forwards the response to the client.
HTTP Redirect, Firewall and Policy Route
With HTTP redirect, the relevant packet flow for HTTP traffic is:
1 Firewall
2 HTTP Redirect
3 Policy Route
Even if you set a policy route to the same incoming interface and service as a HTTP redirect rule, the UAG checks the HTTP redirect rules first and forwards HTTP traffic to a proxy server if matched. You need to make sure there is no firewall rule(s) blocking the HTTP requests from the client to the proxy server.
You also need to manually configure a policy route to forward the HTTP traffic from the proxy server to the Internet. To make the example in Figure 109 on page 185 work, make sure you have the following settings.
For HTTP traffic between Ian1 and Ian2:
- a from LAN1 to LAN2 firewall rule to allow HTTP requests from Ian1 to Ian2. Responses to this request are allowed automatically.
- a HTTP redirect rule to forward HTTP traffic from Ian1 to proxy server A.
For HTTP traffic between lan2 and wan1:
- a from LAN2 to WAN firewall rule (default) to allow HTTP requests from lan2 to wan1. Responses to these requests are allowed automatically.
- a policy route to forward HTTP traffic from proxy server A to the Internet.
17.2 The HTTP Redirect Screen
To configure redirection of a HTTP request to a proxy server, click Configuration > Network > HTTP Redirect. This screen displays the summary of the HTTP redirect rules.
Note: You can configure up to one HTTP redirect rule for each (incoming) interface.

18.1 Overview
SMTP redirect forwards the authenticated client's SMTP message to a SMTP server, that handles all outgoing e-mail messages. In the following example, SMTP server A is connected to the Ian2 interface in the LAN2 zone. When a client connected to the Ian1 interface in the LAN1 zone logs into the UAG and wants to send an e-mail, its SMTP message is redirected to SMTP server A. SMTP server A then sends it to a mail server, where the message will be delivered to the recipient.
The UAG forwards SMTP traffic using TCP port 25.

Figure 112 SMTP Redirect Example
18.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the SMTP Redirect screens (see Section 18.2 on page 190) to display and edit the SMTP redirect rules.
18.1.2 What You Need to Know
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the Internet's message transport standard. It controls the sending of e-mail messages between servers. E-mail clients (also called e-mail applications) then use mail server protocols such as POP (Post Office Protocol) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) to retrieve e-mail. E-mail clients also generally use SMTP to send messages to a mail
server. The older POP2 requires SMTP for sending messages while the newer POP3 can be used with or without it. This is why many e-mail applications require you to specify both the SMTP server and the POP or IMAP server (even though they may actually be the same server).
SMTP Redirect, Firewall and Policy Route
With SMTP redirect, the relevant packet flow for SMTP traffic is:
1 Firewall
2 SMTP Redirect
3 Policy Route
Even if you set a policy route to the same incoming interface and service as a SMTP redirect rule, the UAG checks the SMTP redirect rules first and forwards SMTP traffic to a SMTP server if matched. You need to make sure there is no firewall rule(s) blocking the SMTP traffic from the client to the SMTP server.
You also need to manually configure a policy route to forward the SMTP traffic from the SMTP server to the Internet. To make the example in Figure 112 on page 189 work, make sure you have the following settings.
For SMTP traffic between Ian1 and Ian2:
- a from LAN1 to LAN2 firewall rule to allow SMTP messages from lan1 to lan2. Responses to this request are allowed automatically.
- a SMTP redirect rule to forward SMTP traffic from Ian1 to SMTP server A.
For SMTP traffic between lan2 and wan1:
- a from LAN2 to WAN firewall rule (default) to allow SMTP messages from lan2 to wan1. Responses to these requests are allowed automatically.
- a policy route to forward SMTP messages from SMTP server A to the Internet.

19.1 ALG Overview
Application Layer Gateway (ALG) allows the following application to operate properly through the UAG's NAT.
- FTP - File Transfer Protocol - an Internet file transfer service.
The ALG feature is only needed for traffic that goes through the UAG's NAT.
19.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the ALG screen (Section 19.2 on page 194) to set up the FTP ALG settings.
19.1.2 What You Need to Know
Application Layer Gateway (ALG), NAT and Firewall
The UAG can function as an Application Layer Gateway (ALG) to allow certain NAT un-friendly applications to operate properly through the UAG's NAT and firewall. The UAG dynamically creates an implicit NAT session and firewall session for the application's traffic from the WAN to the LAN. The ALG on the UAG supports all of the UAG's NAT mapping types.
FTP ALG
The FTP ALG allows TCP packets with a specified port destination to pass through. If the FTP server is located on the LAN, you must also configure NAT (port forwarding) and firewall rules if you want to allow access to the server from the WAN.
ALG and Trunks
If you send your ALG-managed traffic through an interface trunk and all of the interfaces are set to active, you can configure routing policies to specify which interface the ALG-managed traffic uses.
You could also have a trunk with one interface set to active and a second interface set to passive. The UAG does not automatically change ALG-managed connections to the second (passive) interface when the active interface's connection goes down. When the active interface's connection fails, the client needs to re-initialize the connection through the second interface (that was set to passive) in order to have the connection go through the second interface.
19.1.3 Before You Begin
You must also configure the firewall and enable NAT in the UAG to allow sessions initiated from the WAN.
19.2 The ALG Screen
Click Configuration > Network > ALG to open the ALG screen. Use this screen to turn the ALG off or on, configure the port numbers to which it applies.

20.1 Overview
The UAG supports both UPnP and NAT-PMP to permit networking devices to discover each other and connect seamlessly.
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. A gateway that supports UPnP is called Internet Gateway Device (IGD). The standardized Device Control Protocol (DCP) is defined by the UPnP Forum for IGDs to configure port mapping automatically.
NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP), introduced by Apple and implemented in current Apple products, is used as an alternative NAT traversal solution to the UPnP IGD protocol. NAT-PMP runs over UDP port 5351. NAT-PMP is much simpler than UPnP IGD and mainly designed for small home networks. It allows a client behind a NAT router to retrieve the router's public IP address and port number and make them known to the peer device with which it wants to communicate. The client can automatically configure the NAT router to create a port mapping to allow the peer to contact it.
20.2 What You Need to Know
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.
20.2.1 NAT Traversal
UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions. NAT traversal allows the following:
- Dynamic port mapping
- Learning public IP addresses
- Assigning lease times to mappings
Windows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP.
See the NAT chapter for more information on NAT.
20.2.2 Cautions with UPnP
The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also be obtained and modified by users in some network environments.
When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For security reasons, the UAG allows multicast messages on the LAN only.
All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.
20.3 UPnP Screen

21.1 IP/MAC Binding Overview
IP address to MAC address binding helps ensure that only the intended devices get to use privileged IP addresses. The UAG uses DHCP to assign IP addresses and records to MAC address it assigned each IP address. The UAG then checks incoming connection attempts against this list. A user cannot manually assign another IP to his computer and use it to connect to the UAG.
Suppose you configure access privileges for IP address 172.16.1.27 and use static DHCP to assign it to Bob's computer's MAC address of 12:34:56:78:90:AB. IP/MAC binding drops traffic from any computer trying to use IP address 172.16.1.27 with another MAC address.

Figure 126 IP/MAC Binding Example
21.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Summary and Edit screens (Section 21.2 on page 203) to bind IP addresses to MAC addresses.

Layer 2 Isolation
22.1 Overview
Layer-2 isolation is used to prevent connected devices from communicating with each other in the UAG's local network(s), except for the devices in the white list, when layer-2 isolation is enabled on the UAG and the local interface(s).
Note: Layer-2 isolation only checks the wireless traffic that goes through the UAG interfaces, including the virtual interfaces and the bridge interface between the 2.4 GHz WLAN and the 5 GHz WLAN. Therefore, traffic between wireless clients using the same AP and frequency band can't be blocked. But traffic between wireless clients in the 2.4 GHz WLAN and 5 GHz WLAN can be blocked even when they are connected to the same AP.
Note: The firewall must be enabled before you can use layer-2 isolation.
In the following example, layer-2 isolation is enabled on the UAG's interface Vlan1. A printer, PC and AP are in the Vlan1. The IP address of network printer (C) is added to the white list. With this setting, the connected AP then cannot communicate with the PC (D), but can access the network printer (C), server (B), wireless client (A) and the Internet.

Figure 131 Layer-2 Isolation Application
22.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
-
Use the General screen (Section 22.2 on page 208) to enable layer-2 isolation on the UAG and the internal interface(s).

23.1 Overview
IP Plug and Play (IPnP) allows a computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the UAG are not in the same subnet.
When you disable the IPnP feature, only computers with dynamic IP addresses or static IP addresses in the same subnet as the UAG's LAN IP address can connect to the UAG or access the Internet through the UAG.
The IPnP feature does not apply to a computer using either a dynamic IP address or a static IP address that is in the same subnet as the UAG's IP address.
Note: You must enable NAT to use the IPnP feature.
The following figure depicts a scenario where a computer is set to use a static private IP address in the corporate environment. In a residential house where a UAG is installed, you can still use the computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the UAG are not in the same subnet.

Figure 135 IPnP Application

Web Authentication
24.1 Overview
Web authentication can intercepts network traffic, according to the authentication policies, until the user authenticates his or her connection, usually through a specifically designated login web page. This means all web page requests can initially be redirected to a special web page that requires users to authenticate their sessions. Once authentication is successful, they can then connect to the rest of the network or Internet.
As soon as a user attempt to open a web page, the UAG reroutes his/her browser to a web portal page that prompts he/she to log in.

Figure 137 Web Authentication Example
The web authentication page only appears once per authentication session. Unless a user session times out or he/she closes the connection, he or she generally will not see it again during the same session.
24.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Configuration > Web Authentication screens (Section 24.2 on page 214) to create and manage web authentication policies.
- Use the Configuration > Web Authentication > Walled Garden screens (Section 24.3 on page 227) to enable and create walled garden links that display in the login screen.
- Use the Configuration > Web Authentication > Advertisement screens (Section 24.4 on page 229) to enable and set advertisement links.
24.1.2 What You Need to Know
Forced User Authentication
Instead of making users for which user-aware policies have been configured go to the UAG Login screen manually, you can configure the UAG to display the Login screen automatically whenever it routes HTTP traffic for anyone who has not logged in yet.
Note: This works with HTTP traffic only. The UAG does not display the Login screen when users attempt to send other kinds of traffic.
The UAG does not automatically route the request that prompted the login, however, so users have to make this request again.
Finding Out More
See Section 24.2.2 on page 221 for an example of using an authentication policy for user-aware access control.
24.2 Web Authentication Screen
The Web Authentication screen displays the web portal settings and web authentication policies you have configured on the UAG. The screen differs depending on what you select in the Authentication field.
Click Configuration > Web Authentication to display the screen.

24.2.2 User-aware Access Control Example
You can configure many policies and security settings for specific users or groups of users. Users can be authenticated locally by the UAG or by an external (RADIUS) authentication server.
In this example the users are authenticated by an external RADIUS server at 172.16.1.200. First, set up the user accounts and user groups in the UAG. Then, set up user authentication using the RADIUS server. Finally, set up the policies in the table above.
24.2.2.1 Set Up User Accounts
Set up user accounts in the RADIUS server. This example uses the Web Configurator. If you can export user names from the RADIUS server to a text file, then you might configure a script to create the user accounts instead.
1 Click Configuration > Object > User/Group > User. Click the Add icon.
2 Enter the same user name that is used in the RADIUS server, and set the User Type to ext-user because this user account is authenticated by an external server. Click OK.

Figure 142 Configuration > Object > User/Group > User > Add
3 Repeat this process to set up the remaining user accounts.
24.2.2.2 Set Up User Groups
Set up the user groups and assign the users to the user groups.
1 Click Configuration > Object > User/Group > Group. Click the Add icon.
2 Enter the name of the group. In this example, it is "Finance". Then, select Object/Leo and click the right arrow to move him to the Member list. This example only has one member in this group, so click OK. Of course you could add more members later.

Figure 143 Configuration > Object > User/Group > Group > Add
3 Repeat this process to set up the remaining user groups.
24.2.2.3 Set Up User Authentication Using the RADIUS Server
This step sets up user authentication using the RADIUS server. First, configure the settings for the RADIUS server. Then, set up the authentication method, and configure the UAG to use the authentication method. Finally, force users to log into the UAG before it routes traffic for them.
1 Click Configuration > Object > AAA Server > RADIUS. Double-click the radius entry. Configure the RADIUS server's address, authentication port (1812 if you were not told otherwise), and key. Click Apply.

Figure 144 Configuration > Object > AAA Server > RADIUS > Add
2 Click Configuration > Object > Auth. Method. Double-click the default entry. Click the Add icon. Select group radius because the UAG should use the specified RADIUS server for authentication. Click OK.

Figure 145 Configuration > Object > Auth. method > Edit
3 Click Configuration > Web Authentication. In the Web Authentication screen, select Web Portal to enable web authentication and click Apply.

Figure 146 Configuration > Web Authentication
4 In the Web Authentication Policy Summary section, click the Add icon.
5 Set up a default policy that forces every user to log into the UAG before the UAG routes traffic for them. Select Enable Policy. Set the Authentication field to required, and make sure Force User Authentication is selected. Keep the rest of the default settings, and click OK.
Note: The users must log in at the Web Configurator login screen before they can use HTTP or MSN.

Figure 147 Configuration > Web Authentication > Add
When the users try to browse the web (or use any HTTP application), the login screen appears. They have to log in using the user name and password in the RADIUS server.
24.2.2.4 User Group Authentication Using the RADIUS Server
The previous example showed how to have a RADIUS server authenticate individual user accounts. If the RADIUS server has different user groups distinguished by the value of a specific attribute, you can make a couple of slight changes in the configuration to have the RADIUS server authenticate groups of user accounts defined in the RADIUS server.
1 Click Configuration > Object > AAA Server > RADIUS. Double-click the radius entry. Besides configuring the RADIUS server's address, authentication port, and key; set the Group Membership Attribute field to the attribute that the UAG is to check to determine to which group a user belongs. This example uses Class. This attribute's value is called a group identifier; it determines to which group a user belongs. In this example the values are Finance, Engineer, Sales, and Boss.

Figure 148 Configuration > Object > AAA Server > RADIUS > Add
2 Now you add ext-group-user user objects to identify groups based on the group identifier values. Set up one user account for each group of user accounts in the RADIUS server. Click Configuration > Object > User/Group > User. Click the Add icon.
Enter a user name and set the User Type to ext-group-user. In the Group Identifier field, enter Finance, Engineer, Sales, or Boss and set the Associated AAA Server Object to radius.

Figure 149 Configuration > Object > User/Group > User > Add
3 Repeat this process to set up the remaining groups of user accounts.
24.3 Walled Garden Screen
A user must log in before the UAG allows the user's access to the Internet. However, with a walled garden, you can define one or more web site addresses that all users can access without logging in. These can be used for advertisements for example.
Use this screen to configure walled garden web addresses for web sites that all users are allowed to access without logging in. The web site link(s) then displays in the user login screen.
Click Configuration > Web Authentication > Walled Garden to display the screen.

25.1 Overview
Use the firewall to block or allow services that use static port numbers. The firewall can also limit the number of user sessions.
This example shows the UAG's default firewall behavior for WAN to LAN traffic and how stateful inspection works. A LAN user can initiate a Telnet session from within the LAN zone and the firewall allows the response. However, the firewall blocks Telnet traffic initiated from the WAN zone and destined for the LAN zone.

Figure 155 Default Firewall Action
25.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Firewall screens (Section 25.2 on page 234) to enable or disable the firewall and asymmetrical routes, and manage and configure firewall rules.
- Use the Session Control screens (see Section 25.3 on page 239) to limit the number of concurrent NAT/firewall sessions a client can use.
25.1.2 What You Need to Know
Stateful Inspection
The UAG has a stateful inspection firewall. The UAG restricts access by screening data packets against defined access rules. It also inspects sessions. For example, traffic from one zone is not allowed unless it is initiated by a computer in another zone first.
Zones
A zone is a group of interfaces. Group the UAG's interfaces into different zones based on your needs. You can configure firewall rules for data passing between zones or even between interfaces.
Default Firewall Behavior
Firewall rules are grouped based on the direction of travel of packets to which they apply. Here is the default firewall behavior for traffic going through the UAG in various directions.
Note: Intra-zone traffic (such as LAN to LAN traffic or WAN to WAN traffic) can also be blocked by the zone configuration. See Section 13.2.1 on page 166 for details.
Table 107 Default Firewall Behavior
| FROM ZONE TO ZONE | BEHAVIOR |
| From any to Device | DHCP traffic from any interface to the UAG is allowed. |
| From LAN1 to any (other than the UAG) | Traffic from the LAN1 to any of the networks connected to the UAG is allowed. |
| From LAN2 to any (other than the UAG) | Traffic from the LAN2 to any of the networks connected to the UAG is allowed. |
| From LAN1 to Device | Traffic from the LAN1 to the UAG itself is allowed. |
| From LAN2 to Device | Traffic from the LAN2 to the UAG itself is allowed. |
| From WAN to Device | The default services listed in To-Device Rules on page 233 are allowed from the WAN to the UAG itself. All other WAN to UAG traffic is dropped. |
| From any to any | Traffic that does not match any firewall rule is dropped. This includes traffic from the WAN to any of the networks behind the UAG.This also includes traffic to or from interfaces that are not assigned to a zone (extra-zone traffic). |
To-Device Rules
Rules with Device as the To Zone apply to traffic going to the UAG itself. By default:
- The firewall allows only LAN, or WAN computers to access or manage the UAG.
- The UAG allows DHCP traffic from any interface to the UAG.
- The UAG drops most packets from the WAN zone to the UAG itself and generates a log except for AH, ESP, GRE, HTTPS, IKE, NATT.
When you configure a firewall rule for packets destined for the UAG itself, make sure it does not conflict with your service control rule. See Chapter 40 on page 354 for more information about service control (remote management). The UAG checks the firewall rules before the service control rules for traffic destined for the UAG.
A From Any To Device direction rule applies to traffic from an interface which is not in a zone.
Global Firewall Rules
Firewall rules with from any and/or to any as the packet direction are called global firewall rules. The global firewall rules are the only firewall rules that apply to an interface that is not included in a zone. The from any rules apply to traffic coming from the interface and the to any rules apply to traffic going to the interface.
Firewall Rule Criteria
The UAG checks the schedule, user name (user's login name on the UAG), source IP address, destination IP address and IP protocol type of network traffic against the firewall rules (in the order you list them). When the traffic matches a rule, the UAG takes the action specified in the rule.
User Specific Firewall Rules
You can specify users or user groups in firewall rules. For example, to allow a specific user from any computer to access a zone by logging in to the UAG, you can set up a rule based on the user name only. If you also apply a schedule to the firewall rule, the user can only access the network at the scheduled time. A user-aware firewall rule is activated whenever the user logs in to the UAG and will be disabled after the user logs out of the UAG.
Session Limits
Accessing the UAG or network resources through the UAG requires a NAT session and corresponding firewallsession. Peer to peer applications, such as file sharing applications, may use a large number of NAT sessions. A single client could use all of the available NAT sessions and prevent others from connecting to or through the UAG. The UAG lets you limit the number of concurrent NAT/firewall sessions a client can use.
Finding Out More
- See Section 25.4 on page 241 for an example of creating firewall rules as part of configuring user-aware access control.
25.2 The Firewall Screen
Asymmetrical Routes
If an alternate gateway on the LAN has an IP address in the same subnet as the UAG's LAN IP address, return traffic may not go through the UAG. This is called an asymmetrical or "triangle" route. This causes the UAG to reset the connection, as the connection has not been acknowledged.
You can have the UAG permit the use of asymmetrical route topology on the network (not reset the connection). However, allowing asymmetrical routes may let traffic from the WAN go directly to the LAN without passing through the UAG. A better solution is to use virtual interfaces to put the UAG and the backup gateway on separate subnets. Virtual interfaces allow you to partition your network into logical sections over the same interface. See the chapter about interfaces for more information.
By putting LAN 1 and the alternate gateway (A in the figure) in different subnets, all returning network traffic must pass through the UAG to the LAN. The following steps and figure describe such a scenario.
1 A computer on the LAN1 initiates a connection by sending a SYN packet to a receiving server on the WAN.
2 The UAG reroutes the packet to gateway A , which is in Subnet 2.
3 The reply from the WAN goes to the UAG.
4 The UAG then sends it to the computer on the LAN1 in Subnet 1.

Figure 156 Using Virtual Interfaces to Avoid Asymmetrical Routes
25.2.1 Configuring the Firewall Screen
Click Configuration > Firewall to open the Firewall screen. Use this screen to enable or disable the firewall and asymmetrical routes, set a maximum number of sessions per host, and display the configured firewall rules. Specify from which zone packets come and to which zone packets travel to display only the rules specific to the selected direction. Note the following.
- Besides configuring the firewall, you also need to configure NAT rules to allow computers on the WAN to access LAN devices. See Chapter 15 on page 173 for more information.
- The UAG applies NAT (Destination NAT) settings before applying the firewall rules. So for example, if you configure a NAT entry that sends WAN traffic to a LAN IP address, when you configure a corresponding firewall rule to allow the traffic, you need to set the LAN IP address as the destination.
- The ordering of your rules is very important as rules are applied in sequence.

25.5 Firewall Rule Example Applications
Suppose you decide to block LAN users from using IRC (Internet Relay Chat) through the Internet. To do this, you would configure a LAN to WAN firewall rule that blocks IRC traffic from any source IP address from going to any destination address. You do not need to specify a schedule since you need the firewall rule to always be in effect. The following figure shows the results of this rule.

Figure 166 Blocking All LAN to WAN IRC Traffic Example
Your firewallwould have the following rules.
Table 112 Blocking All LAN to WAN IRC Traffic Example
| # | USER | SOURCE | DESTINATION | SCHEDULE | SERVICE | ACTION |
| 1 | Any | Any | Any | Any | IRC | Deny |
| 2 | Any | Any | Any | Any | Any | Allow |
- The first row blocks LAN access to the IRC service on the WAN.
- The second row is the firewall's default policy that allows all LAN1 to WAN traffic.
The UAG applies the firewall rules in order. So for this example, when the UAG receives traffic from the LAN, it checks it against the first rule. If the traffic matches (if it is IRC traffic) the firewall takes the action in the rule (drop) and stops checking the firewall rules. Any traffic that does not match the first firewall rule will match the second rule and the UAG forwards it.
Now suppose you need to let the CEO use IRC. You configure a LAN1 to WAN firewall rule that allows IRC traffic from the IP address of the CEO's computer. You can also configure a LAN to WAN rule that allows IRC traffic from any computer through which the CEO logs into the UAG with his/her user name. In order to make sure that the CEO's computer always uses the same IP address, make sure it either:
- Has a static IP address,
or
- You configure a static DHCP entry for it so the UAG always assigns it the same IP address (see DHCP Settings on page 143 for information on DHCP).
Now you configure a LAN1 to WAN firewall rule that allows IRC traffic from the IP address of the CEO's computer (172.16.1.7 for example) to go to any destination address. You do not need to specify a schedule since you want the firewall rule to always be in effect. The following figure shows the results of your two custom rules.

Figure 167 Limited LAN to WAN IRC Traffic Example
Your firewallwould have the following configuration.
Table 113 Limited LAN1 to WAN IRC Traffic Example 1
| # | USER | SOURCE | DESTINATION | SCHEDULE | SERVICE | ACTION |
| 1 | Any | 172.16.1.7 | Any | Any | IRC | Allow |
| 2 | Any | Any | Any | Any | IRC | Deny |
| 3 | Any | Any | Any | Any | Any | Allow |
- The first row allows the LAN1 computer at IP address 172.16.1.7 to access the IRC service on the WAN.
- The second row blocks LAN1 access to the IRC service on the WAN.
- The third row is the firewall's default policy of allowing all traffic from the LAN1 to go to the WAN.
Alternatively, you configure a LAN1 to WAN rule with the CEO's user name (say CEO) to allow IRC traffic from any source IP address to go to any destination address.
Your firewallwould have the following configuration.
Table 114 Limited LAN1 to WAN IRC Traffic Example 2
| # | USER | SOURCE | DESTINATION | SCHEDULE | SERVICE | ACTION |
| 1 | CEO | Any | Any | Any | IRC | Allow |
| 2 | Any | Any | Any | Any | IRC | Deny |
| 3 | Any | Any | Any | Any | Any | Allow |
- The first row allows any LAN1 computer to access the IRC service on the WAN by logging into the UAG with the CEO's user name.
- The second row blocks LAN1 access to the IRC service on the WAN.
- The third row is the firewall's default policy of allowing all traffic from the LAN1 to go to the WAN.
The rule for the CEO must come before the rule that blocks all LAN1 to WAN IRC traffic. If the rule that blocks all LAN1 to WAN IRC traffic came first, the CEO's IRC traffic would match that rule and the UAG would drop it and not check any other firewall rules.
26.1 Overview
You can use the built-in billing function to setup billing profiles. A billing profile describes how to charge users. This chapter also shows you how to select an accounting method, configure a discount price plan or use an online payment service by credit card.
26.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the General screen (see Section 26.2 on page 247) to configure the general billing settings, such as the accounting method, currency unit and the SSID profiles to which the settings are applied.
- Use the Billing Profile screen (see Section 26.3 on page 248) to configure the billing profiles for the web-based account generator and each button on the connected statement printer.
- Use the Discount screen (see Section 26.4 on page 255) to enable and configure discount price plans.
- Use the Payment Service screen (see Section 26.5 on page 257) to enable online payment service and configure the service pages.
26.1.2 What You Need to Know
Accumulation Accounting Method
The accumulation accounting method allows multiple re-logs until the allocated time period or until the user account is expired. The UAG accounts the time that the user is logged in for Internet access.
Time-to-finish Accounting Method
The time-to-finish accounting method is good for one-time logins. Once a user logs in, the UAG stores the IP address of the user's computer for the duration of the time allocated. Thus the user does not have to enter the user name and password again for re-login within the allocated time. Once activated, the user account is valid until the allocated time is reached even if the user disconnects Internet access for a certain period within the allocated time. For example, Joe purchases a one-hour time-to-finish account. He starts using the Internet for the first 20 minutes and then disconnects his Internet access to go to a 20-minute meeting. After the meeting, he only has 20 minutes left on his account.
26.2 The General Screen
Use this screen to configure the general billing settings, such as the accounting method, currency unit and the SSID profiles to which the settings are applied. Click Configuration > Billing > General to open the following screen.

Once the user logs in, the system starts counting down the pre-defined usage even if the user stops the Internet access before the time period is finished. If a user disconnects and reconnects before the allocated time expires, the user does not have to enter the user name and password to access the Internet again. Select Accumulation to allow each user multiple re-login until the time allocated is used up. The UAG accounts the time that the user is logged in for Internet access. |
| User idle timeout | The UAG automatically disconnects a computer from the network after a period of inactivity. The user may need to enter the username and password again before access to the network is allowed. If you select Accumulation, specify the idle timeout between 1 and 60 minutes. |

Bandwidth Management
30.1 Overview
Bandwidth management provides a convenient way to manage the use of various services on the network. It manages general protocols (for example, HTTP and FTP) and applies traffic prioritization to enhance the performance of delay-sensitive applications like voice and video.
30.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the BWM screens (see Section 30.2 on page 279) to control bandwidth for services passing through the UAG, and it identifies the conditions that refine this.
30.1.2 What You Need to Know
When you allow a service, you can restrict the bandwidth it uses. It controls TCP and UDP traffic. Use policy routes to manage other types of traffic (like ICMP).
Note: Bandwidth management in policy routes has priority over policy routes to manage the bandwidth of TCP and UDP traffic.
If you want to use a service, make sure both the firewall allow the service's packets to go through the UAG.
Note: The UAG checks firewall rules before it checks bandwidth management rules for traffic going through the UAG.
Bandwidth management examines every TCP and UDP connection passing through the UAG. Then, you can specify, by port, whether or not the UAG continues to route the connection.
BWM Type
The UAG supports two types of bandwidth management: Shared and Per-user.
The Shared BWM type is selected by default in a bandwidth management rule. All users to which the rule is applied need to share the bandwidth configured in the rule.
If the BWM type is set to Per-uer in a rule, every user that matches the rule can use up to the configured bandwidth by his/her own.
In the following example, you configure a Per-user bandwidth management rule for billing-users to limit outgoing traffic to 300 kbs. Then all billing-users (A, B and C) can send 300 kbps of traffic.

DiffServ and DSCP Marking
QoS is used to prioritize source-to-destination traffic flows. All packets in the same flow are given the same priority. CoS (class of service) is a way of managing traffic in a network by grouping similar types of traffic together and treating each type as a class. You can use CoS to give different priorities to different packet types.
DiffServ (Differentiated Services) is a class of service (CoS) model that marks packets so that they receive specific per-hop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route based on the application types and traffic flow. Packets are marked with DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs) indicating the level of service desired. This allows the intermediary DiffServ-compliant network devices to handle the packets differently depending on the code points without the need to negotiate paths or remember state information for every flow. In addition, applications do not have to request a particular service or give advanced notice of where the traffic is going.
Connection and Packet Directions
Bandwidth management looks at the connection direction, that is from which interface the connection was initiated and to which interface the connection is going.
A connection has outbound and inbound packet flows. The UAG controls the bandwidth of traffic of each flow as it is going out through an interface.
- The outbound traffic flows from the connection initiator to the connection responder.
- The inbound traffic flows from the connection responder to the connection initiator.
For example, a LAN1 to WAN connection is initiated from LAN1 and goes to the WAN.
- Outbound traffic goes from a LAN1 device to a WAN device. Bandwidth management is applied before sending the packets out a WAN interface on the UAG.
- Inbound traffic comes back from the WAN device to the LAN1 device. Bandwidth management is applied before sending the traffic out a LAN1 interface.

Figure 184 LAN1 to WAN Connection and Packet Directions
Outbound and Inbound Bandwidth Limits
You can limit an application's outbound or inbound bandwidth. This limit keeps the traffic from using up too much of the out-going interface's bandwidth. This way you can make sure there is bandwidth for other applications. When you apply a bandwidth limit to outbound or inbound traffic, each member of the out-going zone can send up to the limit. Take a LAN1 to WAN policy for example.
- Outbound traffic is limited to 200 kbps. The connection initiator is on the LAN1 so outbound means the traffic traveling from the LAN1 to the WAN. Each of the WAN zone's two interfaces can send the limit of 200 kbps of traffic.
- Inbound traffic is limited to 500 kbs. The connection initiator is on the LAN1 so inbound means the traffic traveling from the WAN to the LAN1.

Figure 185 LAN1 to WAN, Outbound 200 kbps, Inbound 500 kbps
Bandwidth Management Priority
- The UAG gives bandwidth to higher-priority traffic first, until it reaches its configured bandwidth rate.
- Then lower-priority traffic gets bandwidth.
- The UAG uses a fairness-based (round-robin) scheduler to divide bandwidth among traffic flows with the same priority.
- The UAG automatically treats traffic with bandwidth management disabled as priority 7 (the lowest priority).
Maximize Bandwidth Usage
Maximize bandwidth usage allows applications with maximize bandwidth usage enabled to "borrow" any unused bandwidth on the out-going interface.
After each application gets its configured bandwidth rate, the UAG uses the fairness- based scheduler to divide any unused bandwidth on the out-going interface amongst applications that need more bandwidth and have maximize bandwidth usage enabled.
Unused bandwidth is divided equally. Higher priority traffic does not get a larger portion of the unused bandwidth.
Bandwidth Management Behavior
The following sections show how bandwidth management behaves with various settings. For example, you configure LAN1 to WAN policies for FTP servers A and B. Each server tries to send 1000 kbps, but the WAN is set to a maximum outgoing speed of 1000 kbps. You configure policy A for server A's traffic and policy B for server B's traffic.

Figure 186 Bandwidth Management Behavior
Configured Rate Effect
In the following table the configured rates total less than the available bandwidth and maximize bandwidth usage is disabled, both servers get their configured rate.
Table 130 Configured Rate Effect
| POLICY | CONFIGURED RATE | MAX. B. U. | PRIORITY | ACTUAL RATE |
| A | 300 kbps | No | 1 | 300 kbps |
| B | 200 kbps | No | 1 | 200 kbps |
Priority Effect
Here the configured rates total more than the available bandwidth. Because server A has higher priority, it gets up to its configured rate (800 kbps), leaving only 200 kbps for server B.
Table 131 Priority Effect
| POLICY | CONFIGURED RATE | MAX. B. U. | PRIORITY | ACTUAL RATE |
| A | 800 kbps | Yes | 1 | 800 kbps |
| B | 1000 kbps | Yes | 2 | 200 kbps |
Maximize Bandwidth Usage Effect
With maximize bandwidth usage enabled, after each server gets its configured rate, the rest of the available bandwidth is divided equally between the two. So server A gets its configured rate of 300 kbps and server B gets its configured rate of 200 kbps. Then the UAG divides the remaining bandwidth (1000 - 500 = 500) equally between the two (500 / 2 = 250 kbps for each). The priority has no effect on how much of the unused bandwidth each server gets.
So server A gets its configured rate of 300 kbps plus 250 kbps for a total of 550 kbps. Server B gets its configured rate of 200 kbps plus 250 kbps for a total of 450 kbps.
Table 132 Maximize Bandwidth Usage Effect
| POLICY | CONFIGURED RATE | MAX. B. U. | PRIORITY | ACTUAL RATE |
| A | 300 kbps | Yes | 1 | 550 kbps |
| B | 200 kbps | Yes | 2 | 450 kbps |
Priority and Over Allotment of Bandwidth Effect
Server A has a configured rate that equals the total amount of available bandwidth and a higher priority. You should regard extreme over allotment of traffic with different priorities (as shown here) as a configuration error. Even though the UAG still attempts to let all traffic get through and not be lost, regardless of its priority, server B gets almost no bandwidth with this configuration.
Table 133 Priority and Over Allotment of Bandwidth Effect
| POLICY | CONFIGURED RATE | MAX. B. U. | PRIORITY | ACTUAL RATE |
| A | 1000 kbps | Yes | 1 | 999 kbps |
| B | 1000 kbps | Yes | 2 | 1 kbps |

30.2 The Bandwidth Management Screen
The Bandwidth management screens control the bandwidth allocation for TCP and UDP traffic. You can use source interface, destination interface, destination port, schedule, user, source, destination information, DSCP code and service type as criteria to create a sequence of specific conditions, similar to the sequence of rules used by firewalls, to specify how the UAG handles the DSCP value and allocate bandwidth for the matching packets.
Click Configuration > BWM to open the following screen. This screen allows you to enable/disable bandwidth management and add, edit, and remove user-defined bandwidth management policies.
The default bandwidth management policy is the one with the priority of "default". It is the last policy the UAG checks if traffic does not match any other bandwidth management policies you have configured. You cannot remove, activate, deactivate or move the default bandwidth management policy.

31.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to set up user accounts, user groups, and user settings for the UAG. You can also set up rules that control when users have to log in to the UAG before the UAG routes traffic for them.
31.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- The User screen (see Section 31.2 on page 287) provides a summary of all user accounts.
- The Group screen (see Section 31.3 on page 291) provides a summary of all user groups. In addition, this screen allows you to add, edit, and remove user groups. User groups may consist of access users and other user groups. You cannot put admin users in user groups
- The Setting screen (see Section 31.4 on page 292) controls default settings, login settings, lockout settings, and other user settings for the UAG. You can also use this screen to specify when users must log in to the UAG before it routes traffic for them.
31.1.2 What You Need To Know
User Account
A user account defines the privileges of a user logged into the UAG. User accounts are used in firewall rules, in addition to controlling access to configuration and services in the UAG.
User Types
These are the types of user accounts the UAG uses.
Table 136 Types of User Accounts
| TYPE | ABILITIES | LOGIN METHOD(S) |
| Admin Users | ||
| admin | Change UAG configuration (web, CLI) | WWW, TELNET, SSH, FTP, Console |
| limited-admin | Look at UAG configuration (web, CLI) | WWW, TELNET, SSH, Console |
| Perform basic diagnostics (CLI) | ||
| Access Users | ||
| ext-user | External user account | WWW |
| ext-group-user | External group user account | WWW |
| guest-manager | Create dynamic guest accounts | WWW |
| pre-subscriber | Access network services | Web Authentication Portal |
| dynamic-guest | Access network services | Web Authentication Portal |
Note: The default admin account is always authenticated locally, regardless of the authentication method setting. (See Chapter 37 on page 332 for more information about authentication methods.)
Ext-User Accounts
Set up an ext-user account if the user is authenticated by an external server and you want to set up specific policies for this user in the UAG. If you do not want to set up policies for this user, you do not have to set up an ext-user account.
All ext-user users should be authenticated by an external server, such as RADIUS. If the UAG tries to use the local database to authenticate an ext-user, the authentication attempt always fails. (This is related to AAA servers and authentication methods, which are discussed in Chapter 36 on page 328 and Chapter 37 on page 332, respectively.)
Note: If the UAG tries to authenticate an ext-user using the local database, the attempt always fails.
Once an ext-user user has been authenticated, the UAG tries to get the user type (see Table 136 on page 285) from the external server. If the external server does not have the information, the UAG sets the user type for this session to User.
For the rest of the user attributes, such as reauthentication time, the UAG checks the following places, in order.
1 User account in the remote server.
2 User account (Ext-User) in the UAG.
3 Default user account for RADIUS users (radius-users) in the UAG.
See Setting up User Attributes in an External Server on page 297 for a list of attributes and how to set up the attributes in an external server.
Ext-Group-User Accounts
Ext-Group-User accounts are similar to ext-user accounts but allow you to group users by the value of the group membership attribute configured for the RADIUS server. See Section 36.2.1 on page 329 for more on the group membership attribute.
Dynamic-Guest Accounts
Dynamic guest accounts are guest accounts, but are created dynamically and stored in the UAG's local user database. A dynamic guest account has a dynamically-created user name and password. A dynamic guest account user can access the UAG's services only within a given period of time and will become invalid after the expiration date/time.
There are three types of dynamic guest accounts depending on how they are created or authenticated: billing-users, ua-users and trial-users.
billing-users are guest account created with the guest manager account or an external printer and paid by cash or created and paid via the on-line payment service. ua-users are users that log in
from the user agreement page. trial-users are free guest accounts that are created with the Free Time function.
Pre-Subscriber Accounts
Use the pre-subscriber account to test the Internet connection between the UAG and the ISP. The UAG does not impose time limitations or charges on this account. Thus, anyone who logs in with this account is able to gain Internet access for free.
User Groups
User groups may consist of user accounts or other user groups. Use user groups when you want to create the same rule for several user accounts, instead of creating separate rules for each one.
Note: You cannot put access users and admin users in the same user group.
Note: You cannot put the default admin account into any user group.
The sequence of members in a user group is not important.
User Awareness
By default, users do not have to log into the UAG to use the network services it provides. The UAG automatically routes packets for everyone. If you want to restrict network services that certain users can use via the UAG, you can require them to log in to the UAG first. The UAG is then aware' of the user who is logged in and you can createuser-aware policies' that define what services they can use. See Section 31.4.2 on page 296 for a user-aware login example.
Finding Out More
- See Section 31.5 on page 297 for some information on users who use an external authentication server in order to log in.

| User Default Setting | |
| Default Authentication Timeout Settings | These authentication timeout settings are used by default when you create a new user account. They also control the settings for any existing user accounts that are set to use the default settings. You can still manually configure any user account's authentication timeout settings. |
| Edit | Double-click an entry or select it and click Edit to open a screen where you can modify the entry's settings. |
| # | This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with a specific entry. |
| User Type | These are the kinds of user account the UAG supports. • admin - this user can look at and change the configuration of the UAG • limited-admin - this user can look at the configuration of the UAG but not to change it • ext-user - this user account is maintained in a remote server, such as RADIUS. See Ext-User Accounts on page 286 for more information about this type. • ext-group-user - this user account is maintained in a remote server, such as RADIUS. See Ext-Group-User Accounts on page 286 for more information about this type. • guest-manager - this user can log in via the web configurator login screen and create dynamic guest accounts using the Account Generator screen that pops up. • pre-subscriber - this user has access to the UAG's services but cannot look at the configuration. |
| Lease Time | This is the default lease time in minutes for each type of user account. It defines the number of minutes the user has to renew the current session before the user is logged out. Admin users renew the session every time the main screen refreshes in the Web Configurator. Access users can renew the session by clicking the Renew button on their screen. If you allow access users to renew time automatically (see Section 31.4 on page 292), the users can select this check box on their screen as well. In this case, the session is automatically renewed before the lease time expires. |
| Reauthentication Time | This is the default reauthentication time in minutes for each type of user account. It defines the number of minutes the user can be logged into the UAG in one session before having to log in again. Unlike Lease Time, the user has no opportunity to renew the session without logging out. |
| Miscellaneous Settings | |
| Allow renewing lease time automatically | Select this check box if access users can renew lease time automatically, as well as manually, simply by selecting the Updating lease time automatically check box on their screen. |
| Enable user idle detection | This is applicable for access users. Select this check box if you want the UAG to monitor how long each access user is logged in and idle (in other words, there is no traffic for this access user). The UAG automatically logs out the access user once the User idle timeout has been reached. |

31.5 User /Group Technical Reference
This section provides some information on users who use an external authentication server in order to log in.
Setting up User Attributes in an External Server
To set up user attributes, such as reauthentication time, in RADIUS servers, use the following keywords in the user configuration file.
Table 144 RADIUS: Keywords for User Attributes
| KEYWORD | CORRESPONDING ATTRIBUTE IN WEB CONFIGURATOR |
| type | UserID. Possible Values: admin, limited-admin, pre-subscriber, dynamic-guest. |
| leaseTime | Lease Time. Possible Values: 1-1440 (minutes). |
| reauthTime | Reauthentication Time. Possible Values: 1-1440 (minutes). |
The following example shows you how you might set up user attributes in RADIUS servers.
Figure 197 RADIUS Example: Keywords for User Attributes
| type=user;leaseTime=222;reauthTime=222 |
Creating a Large Number of Ext-User Accounts
If you plan to create a large number of Ext-User accounts, you might use CLI commands, instead of the Web Configurator, to create the accounts. Extract the user names from the RADIUS server, and create a shell script that creates the user accounts. See Chapter 42 on page 410 for more information about shell scripts.
32.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure preset profiles for the Access Points (APs) connected to your UAG's wireless network.
32.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- The Radio screen (Section 32.2 on page 300) creates radio configurations that can be used by the APs.
- The SSID screen (Section 32.3 on page 305) configures three different types of profiles for your networked APs.
32.1.2 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Wireless Profiles
At the heart of all wireless AP configurations on the UAG are profiles. A profile represents a group of saved settings that you can use across any number of connected APs. You can set up the following wireless profile types:
- Radio - This profile type defines the properties of an AP's radio transmitter. You can have a maximum of 32 radio profiles on the UAG.
- SSD - This profile type defines the properties of a single wireless network signal broadcast by an AP. Each radio on a single AP can broadcast up to 8 SSIDs. You can have a maximum of 32 SSD profiles on the UAG.
- Security - This profile type defines the security settings used by a single SSID. It controls the encryption method required for a wireless client to associate itself with the SSID. You can have a maximum of 32 security profiles on the UAG.
- MAC Filtering - This profile provides an additional layer of security for an SSID, allowing you to block access or allow access to that SSID based on wireless client MAC addresses. If a client's MAC address is on the list, then it is either allowed or denied, depending on how you set up the MAC Filter profile. You can have a maximum of 32 MAC filtering profiles on the UAG.
SSID
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name that identifies the Service Set with which a wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID. In other words, it is the name of the wireless network that clients use to connect to it.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption scrambles all data packets transmitted between the AP and the wireless stations associated with it in order to keep network communications private. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data encryption and decryption.
WPA and WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management than WPA. Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are improved data encryption and user authentication.
IEEE 802.1x
The IEEE 802.1x standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the authentication of wireless stations and encryption key management. Authentication is done using an external RADIUS server.
32.2 Radio Screen
This screen allows you to create radio profiles for the APs on your network. A radio profile is a list of settings that a supported managed AP (NWA5121-N for example) can use to configure either one of its two radio transmitters. To access this screen click Configuration > Object > AP Profile.
Note: You can have a maximum of 32 radio profiles on the UAG.

32.2.1 Add/Edit Radio Profile
This screen allows you to create a new radio profile or edit an existing one. To access this screen, click the Add button or select a radio profile from the list and click the Edit button.

Figure 199 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Add/Edit Radio Profile
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 146 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Add/Edit Radio Profile
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Hide / Show Advanced Settings | Click this to hide or show the Advanced Settings in this window. |
| Create New Object | Select an item from this menu to create a new object of that type. Any objects created in this way are automatically linked to this radio profile. |
| General Settings | |
| Activate | Select this option to make this profile active. |
| Profile Name | Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters to be used as this profile's name. Spaces and underscores are allowed. |
| 802.11 Band | Select the wireless band which this radio profile should use.2.4 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless clients.5 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11a/n wireless clients. |
| Mode | Select how to let wireless clients connect to the AP.When using the 2.4 GHz band, select b/g to let IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices associate with the AP.When using the 2.4 GHz band, select b/g/n to let IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices associate with the AP.When using the 5 GHz band, select a to let only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices associate with the AP.When using the 5 GHz band, select a/n to let IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices associate with the AP. |
| Channel | Select the wireless channel which this radio profile should use.It is recommended that you choose the channel least in use by other APs in the region where this profile will be implemented. This will reduce the amount of interference between wireless clients and the AP to which this profile is assigned.Some 5 GHz channels include the label indoor use only. These are for use with an indoor AP only. Do not use them with an outdoor AP. |
| Advanced Settings | |
| Channel Width | Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network-select Auto to allow the UAG to adjust the channel bandwidth to 40 MHz or 20 MHz depending on network conditions.Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood. |
| Guard Interval | Set the guard interval for this radio profile to either short or long.The guard interval is the gap introduced between data transmission from users in order to reduce interference. Reducing the interval increases data transfer rates but also increases interference. Increasing the interval reduces data transfer rates but also reduces interference. |
| Enable A-MPDU Aggregation | Select this to enable A-MPDU aggregation.Message Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) aggregation collects Ethernet frames along with their 802.11n headers and wraps them in a 802.11n MAC header. This method is useful for increasing bandwidth throughput in environments that are prone to high error rates. |
| A-MPDU Limit | Enter the maximum frame size to be aggregated. |
| A-MPDU Subframe | Enter the maximum number of frames to be aggregated each time. |
| Enable A-MSDU Aggregation | Select this to enable A-MSDU aggregation. Mac Service Data Unit (MSDU) aggregation collects Ethernet frames without any of their 802.11n headers and wraps the header-less payload in a single 802.11n MAC header. This method is useful for increasing bandwidth throughput. It is also more efficient than A-MPDU except in environments that are prone to high error rates. |
| A-MSDU Limit | Enter the maximum frame size to be aggregated. |
| Disable-Channel Switch for DFS | This field is available when you select 5G in the 802.11 Band field. DFS (dynamic frequency selection) allows an AP to detect other devices in the same channel. If there is another device using the same channel, the AP changes to a different channel, so that it can avoid interference with radar systems or other wireless networks. Select this option to disable DFS on the AP. |
| RTS/CTS Threshold | Use RTS/CTS to reduce data collisions on the wireless network if you have wireless clients that are associated with the same AP but out of range of one another. When enabled, a wireless client sends an RTS (Request To Send) and then waits for a CTS (Clear To Send) before it transmits. This stops wireless clients from transmitting packets at the same time (and causing data collisions). A wireless client sends an RTS for all packets larger than the number (of bytes) that you enter here. Set the RTS/CTS equal to or higher than the fragmentation threshold to turn RTS/CTS off. |
| Beacon Interval | When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval. This specifies the time period before the device sends the beacon again. The interval tells receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in low-power mode before waking up to handle the beacon. A high value helps save current consumption of the access point. |
| DTIM | Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time period after which broadcast and multicast packets are transmitted to mobile clients in the Active Power Management mode. A high DTIM value can cause clients to lose connectivity with the network. This value can be set from 1 to 255. |
| Output Power | Set the output power of the AP in this field. If there is a high density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the NWA5160N to reduce interference with other APs. Select one of the following 100%, 50%, 25%, or 12.5%. See the product specifications for more information on your UAG's output power. Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the UAG's effective broadcast radius. |
| Enable RSSI Threshold | Use the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) threshold to ensure wireless clients receive good throughput. This allows only wireless clients with a strong signal to connect to the AP. Select the check box and set a minimum client signal strength for connecting to the AP. -20 dBm is the strongest signal you can require and -76 is the weakest. Clear the check box to not require wireless clients to have a minimum signal strength to connect to the AP. |
| Rate Configuration | This section controls the data rates permitted for clients.For each Rate, select a rate option from its list. The rates are:Basic Rate (Mbps) - Set the basic rate configuration in Mbps.Support Rate (Mbps) - Set the support rate configuration in Mbps.MCS Rate - Set the MCS rate configuration. IEEE 802.11n supports many different data rates which are called MCS rates. MCS stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme. This is an 802.11n feature that increases the wireless network performance in terms of throughput. |
| Multicast Settings | Use this section to set a transmission mode and maximum rate for multicast traffic. |
| Transmission Mode | Set how the AP handles multicast traffic SELECT Multicast to Unicast to broadcast wireless multicast traffic to all of the wireless clients as unicast traffic. Unicast traffic dynamically changes the data rate based on the application's bandwidth requirements. The retransmit mechanism of unicast traffic provides more reliable transmission of the multicast traffic, although it also produces duplicate packets.Select Fixed Multicast Rate to send wireless multicast traffic at a single data rate. You must know the multicast application's bandwidth requirements and set it in the following field. |
| Multicast Rate (Mbps) | If you set the multicast transmission mode to fixed multicast rate, set the data rate for multicast traffic here. For example, to deploy 4 Mbps video, select a fixed multicast rate higher than 4 Mbps. |
| MBSSID Settings | This section allows you to associate an SSID profile with the radio profile. |
| Edit | Select and SSID and click this button to reassign it. The selected SSID becomes editable immediately upon clicking. |
| SSID Profile | Indicates which SSID profile is associated with this radio profile. |
| OK | Click OK to save your changes back to the UAG. |
| Cancel | Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving your changes. |
32.3 SSD Screen
The SSID screens allow you to configure three different types of profiles for your networked APs: an SSID list, which can assign specific SSID configurations to your APs; a security list, which can assign specific encryption methods to the APs when allowing wireless clients to connect to them; and a MAC filter list, which can limit connections to an AP based on wireless clients MAC addresses.
32.3.1 SSD List
This screen allows you to create and manage SSID configurations that can be used by the APs. An SSID, or Service Set IDentifier, is basically the name of the wireless network to which a wireless client can connect. The SSID appears as readable text to any device capable of scanning for wireless frequencies (such as the WiFi adapter in a laptop), and is displayed as the wireless network name when a person makes a connection to it.
To access this screen click Configuration > Object > AP Profile > SSID.
Note: You can have a maximum of 32 SSID profiles on the UAG.

Figure 201 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Add/Edit SSID Profile
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 148 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Add/Edit SSID Profile
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Create new Object | Select an object type from the list to create a new one associated with this SSID profile. |
| Profile Name | Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters for the profile name. This name is only visible in the Web Configurator and is only for management purposes. Spaces and underscores are allowed. |
| SSID | Enter the SSID name for this profile. This is the name visible on the network to wireless clients. Enter up to 32 characters, spaces and underscores are allowed. |
| Security Profile | Select a security profile from this list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use the Create new Object menu to create one.Note: It is highly recommended that you create security profiles for all of your SSIDs to enhance your network security. |
| MAC Filtering Profile | Select a MAC filtering profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can sue the Create new Object menu to create one.MAC filtering allows you to limit the wireless clients connecting to your network through a particular SSID by wireless client MAC addresses. Any clients that have MAC addresses not in the MAC filtering profile of allowed addresses are denied connections.The disable setting means no MAC filtering is used. |
| QoS | Select a Quality of Service (QoS) access category to associate with this SSID. Access categories minimize the delay of data packets across a wireless network. Certain categories, such as video or voice, are given a higher priority due to the time sensitive nature of their data packets.QoS access categories are as follows: disable: Turns off QoS for this SSID. All data packets are treated equally and not tagged with access categories.WMM: Enables automatic tagging of data packets. The UAG assigns access categories to the SSID by examining data as it passes through it and making a best guess effort. If something looks like video traffic, for instance, it is tagged as such.WMM_VOID: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as voice data. This is recommended if an SSID is used for activities like placing and receiving VoIP phone calls.WMM Video: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as video data. This is recommended for activities like video conferencing.WMM BEST EFFORT: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as "best effort," meaning the data travels the best route it can without displacing higher priority traffic. This is good for activities that do not require the best bandwidth throughput, such as surfing the Internet.WMM BACKGROUND: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as low priority or "background traffic", meaning all other access categories take precedence over this one. If traffic from an SSID does not have strict throughput requirements, then this access category is recommended. For example, an SSID that only has network printers connected to it. |
| VLAN ID | Enter the VLAN ID that will be used to tag all traffic originating from this SSID if the VLAN is different from the native VLAN. |
| Hidden SSID | Select this if you want to "hide" your SSID from wireless clients. This tells any wireless clients in the vicinity of the AP using this SSID profile not to display its SSID name as a potential connection. Not all wireless clients respect this flag and display it anyway.When an SSID is "hidden" and a wireless client cannot see it, the only way you can connect to the SSID is by manually entering the SSID name in your wireless connection setup screen(s) (these vary by client, client connectivity software, and operating system). |
| Enable Intra-BSS Traffic Blocking | Select this option to prevent crossover traffic from within the same SSID. |
| Local VAP Setting | |
| VLAN Support | Select ON to tag traffic from the local Virtual AP (VAP) with the VLAN ID specified in this SSID profile. Otherwise, select Off. |

34.1 Overview
Use service objects to define TCP applications, UDP applications, and ICMP messages. You can also create service groups to refer to multiple service objects in other features.
34.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Service screens (Section 34.2 on page 320) to view and configure the UAG's list of services and their definitions.
- Use the Service Group screens (Section 34.2 on page 320) to view and configure the UAG's list of service groups.
34.1.2 What You Need to Know
IP Protocols
IP protocols are based on the eight-bit protocol field in the IP header. This field represents the next-level protocol that is sent in this packet. This section discusses three of the most common IP protocols.
Computers use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP, IP protocol 6) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP, IP protocol 17) to exchange data with each other. TCP guarantees reliable delivery but is slower and more complex. Some uses are FTP, HTTP, SMTP, and TELNET. UDP is simpler and faster but is less reliable. Some uses are DHCP, DNS, RIP, and SNMP.
TCP creates connections between computers to exchange data. Once the connection is established, the computers exchange data. If data arrives out of sequence or is missing, TCP puts it in sequence or waits for the data to be re-transmitted. Then, the connection is terminated.
In contrast, computers use UDP to send short messages to each other. There is no guarantee that the messages arrive in sequence or that the messages arrive at all.
Both TCP and UDP use ports to identify the source and destination. Each port is a 16-bit number. Some port numbers have been standardized and are used by low-level system processes; many others have no particular meaning.
Unlike TCP and UDP, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP, IP protocol 1) is mainly used to send error messages or to investigate problems. For example, ICMP is used to send the response if a computer cannot be reached. Another use is ping. ICMP does not guarantee delivery, but networks often treat ICMP messages differently, sometimes looking at the message itself to decide where to send it.
Service Objects and Service Groups
Use service objects to define IP protocols.
- TCP applications
- UDP applications
- ICMP messages
- user-defined services (for other types of IP protocols)
These objects are used in policy routes, and firewall rules.
Use service groups when you want to create the same rule for several services, instead of creating separate rules for each service. Service groups may consist of services and other service groups. The sequence of members in the service group is not important.
34.2 The Service Summary Screen
The Service summary screen provides a summary of all services and their definitions. In addition, this screen allows you to add, edit, and remove services.

36.1 Overview
You can use a AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) server to provide access control to your network. The AAA server can be a RADIUS server. Use the AAA Server screens to create and manage objects that contain settings for using AAA servers. You use AAA server objects in configuring ext-group-user user objects and authentication method objects (see Chapter 37 on page 332).
36.1.1 RADIUS Server
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication is a popular protocol used to authenticate users by means of an external server instead of (or in addition to) an internal device user database that is limited to the memory capacity of the device. In essence, RADIUS authentication allows you to validate a large number of users from a central location.

Figure 217 RADIUS Server Network Example
36.1.2 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the Configuration > Object > AAA Server > RADIUS screen (Section 36.2 on page 329) to configure the default external RADIUS server to use for user authentication.
36.1.3 What You Need To Know
AAA Servers Supported by the UAG
The following lists the types of authentication server the UAG supports.
- Local user database
The UAG uses the built-in local user database to authenticate administrative users logging into the UAG's Web Configurator or network access users logging into the network through the UAG.
- RADIUS
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication is a popular protocol used to authenticate users by means of an external or built-in RADIUS server. RADIUS authentication allows you to validate a large number of users from a central location.

| GroupMembershipAttribute | A RADIUS server defines attributes for its accounts. Select the name and number of the attribute that the UAG is to check to determine to which group a user belongs. If it does not display, select user-defined and specify the attribute's number.This attribute's value is called a group identifier; it determines to which group a user belongs. You can add ext-group-user user objects to identify groups based on these group identifier values.For example you could have an attribute named "memberOf" with values like "sales", "RD", and "management". Then you could also create a ext-group-user user object for each group. One with "sales" as the group identifier, another for "RD" and a third for "management". |

Authentication Method
37.1 Overview
Authentication method objects set how the UAG authenticates wireless, HTTP/HTTPS clients, and peer IPSec routers (extended authentication) clients. Configure authentication method objects to have the UAG use the local user database, and/or the authentication servers and authentication server groups specified by AAA server objects. By default, user accounts created and stored on the UAG are authenticated locally.
37.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Configuration > Object > Auth. Method screens (Section 37.2 on page 332) to create and manage authentication method objects.
37.1.2 Before You Begin
Configure AAA server objects (see Chapter 36 on page 328) before you configure authentication method objects.
37.2 Authentication Method Objects
Click Configuration > Object > Auth. Method to display the screen as shown.

38.1 Overview
The UAG can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to authenticate users. Certificates are based on public-private key pairs. A certificate contains the certificate owner's identity and public key. Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.
38.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the My Certificates screens (see Section 38.2 on page 338 to Section 38.2.3 on page 344) to generate and export self-signed certificates or certification requests and import the CA-signed certificates.
- Use the Trusted Certificates screens (see Section 38.3 on page 345 to Section 38.3.2 on page 349) to save CA certificates and trusted remote host certificates to the UAG. The UAG trusts any valid certificate that you have imported as a trusted certificate. It also trusts any valid certificate signed by any of the certificates that you have imported as a trusted certificate.
38.1.2 What You Need to Know
When using public-key cryptography for authentication, each host has two keys. One key is public and can be made openly available. The other key is private and must be kept secure.
These keys work like a handwritten signature (in fact, certificates are often referred to as "digital signatures"). Only you can write your signature exactly as it should look. When people know what your signature looks like, they can verify whether something was signed by you, or by someone else. In the same way, your private key "writes" your digital signature and your public key allows people to verify whether data was signed by you, or by someone else. This process works as follows.
1 Tim wants to send a message to Jenny. He needs her to be sure that it comes from him, and that the message content has not been altered by anyone else along the way. Tim generates a public key pair (one public key and one private key).
2 Tim keeps the private key and makes the public key openly available. This means that anyone who receives a message seeming to come from Tim can read it and verify whether it is really from him or not.
3 Tim uses his private key to sign the message and sends it to Jenny.
4 Jenny receives the message and uses Tim's public key to verify it. Jenny knows that the message is from Tim, and that although other people may have been able to read the message, no-one can have altered it (because they cannot re-sign the message with Tim's private key).
5 Additionally, Jenny uses her own private key to sign a message and Tim uses Jenny's public key to verify the message.
The UAG uses certificates based on public-key cryptography to authenticate users attempting to establish a connection, not to encrypt the data that you send after establishing a connection. The method used to secure the data that you send through an established connection depends on the type of connection.
The certification authority uses its private key to sign certificates. Anyone can then use the certification authority's public key to verify the certificates.
A certification path is the hierarchy of certification authority certificates that validate a certificate. The UAG does not trust a certificate if any certificate on its path has expired or been revoked.
Certification authorities maintain directory servers with databases of valid and revoked certificates. A directory of certificates that have been revoked before the scheduled expiration is called a CRL (Certificate Revocation List). The UAG can check a peer's certificate against a directory server's list of revoked certificates. The framework of servers, software, procedures and policies that handles keys is called PKI (public-key infrastructure).
Advantages of Certificates
Certificates offer the following benefits.
- The UAG only has to store the certificates of the certification authorities that you decide to trust, no matter how many devices you need to authenticate.
Key distribution is simple and very secure since you can freely distribute public keys and you never need to transmit private keys.
Self-signed Certificates
You can have the UAG act as a certification authority and sign its own certificates.
Factory Default Certificate
The UAG generates its own unique self-signed certificate when you first turn it on. This certificate is referred to in the GUI as the factory default certificate.
Certificate File Formats
Any certificate that you want to import has to be in one of these file formats:
- Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates.
- PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form.
- Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data (including digital signatures) that may be encrypted. A PKCS #7 file is used to transfer a public key certificate. The private key is not included. The UAG currently allows the importation of a PKS#7 file that contains a single certificate.
-
PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable form.
-
Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates. The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file's password is not connected to your certificate's public or private passwords. Exporting a PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you import the file into the UAG.
Note: Be careful not to convert a binary file to text during the transfer process. It is easy for this to occur since many programs use text files by default.
38.1.3 Verifying a Certificate
Before you import a trusted certificate into the UAG, you should verify that you have the correct certificate. You can do this using the certificate's fingerprint. A certificate's fingerprint is a message digest calculated using the MD5 or SHA1 algorithm. The following procedure describes how to check a certificate's fingerprint to verify that you have the actual certificate.
1 Browse to where you have the certificate saved on your computer.
2 Make sure that the certificate has a ".cert" or ".crt" file name extension.

Figure 222 Remote Host Certificates
3 Double-click the certificate's icon to open the Certificate window. Click the Details tab and scroll down to the Thumbprint Algorithm and Thumbprint fields.

Figure 223 Certificate Details
4 Use a secure method to verify that the certificate owner has the same information in the Thumbprint Algorithm and Thumbprint fields. The secure method may very based on your situation. Possible examples would be over the telephone or through an HTTPS connection.

40.6 DNS Overview
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it.
40.6.1 DNS Server Address Assignment
The UAG can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
- 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.
- If your ISP dynamically assigns the DNS server IP addresses (along with the UAG's WAN IP address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP.
- You can manually enter the IP addresses of other DNS servers.
40.6.2 Configuring the DNS Screen
Click Configuration > System > DNS to change your UAG's DNS settings. Use the DNS screen to configure the UAG to use a DNS server to resolve domain names for UAG system features like DDNS and the time server. You can also configure the UAG to accept or discard DNS queries. Use the Network > Interface screens to configure the DNS server information that the UAG sends to the specified DHCP client devices.

| Move | To change an entry's position in the numbered list, select the method and click Move to display a field to type a number for where you want to put it and press [ENTER] to move the rule to the number that you typed. |
| # | This the index number of the service control rule. The ordering of your rules is important as rules are applied in sequence.The entry with a hyphen (-) instead of a number is the UAG's (non-configurable) default policy. The UAG applies this to traffic that does not match any other configured rule. It is not an editable rule. To apply other behavior, configure a rule that traffic will match so the UAG will not have to use the default policy. |
| Zone | This is the zone on the UAG the user is allowed or denied to access. |
| Address | This is the object name of the IP address(es) with which the computer is allowed or denied to send DNS queries. |
| Action | This displays whether the UAG accepts DNS queries from the computer with the IP address specified above through the specified zone (Accept) or discards them (Deny). |
40.6.3 Address Record
An address record contains the mapping of a Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to an IP address. An FQDN consists of a host and domain name. For example, www.zyxel.com is a fully qualified domain name, where "www" is the host, "zyxel" is the second-level domain, and "com" is the top level domain. mail.myZyXEL.com.tw is also a FQDN, where "mail" is the host, "myZyXEL" is the third-level domain, "com" is the second-level domain, and "tw" is the top level domain.
The UAG allows you to configure address records about the UAG itself or another device. This way you can keep a record of DNS names and addresses that people on your network may use frequently. If the UAG receives a DNS query for an FQDN for which the UAG has an address record, the UAG can send the IP address in a DNS response without having to query a DNS name server.
40.6.4 PTR Record
A PTR (pointer) record is also called a reverse record or a reverse lookup record. It is a mapping of an IP address to a domain name.
40.6.5 Adding an Address/PTR Record

40.7 WWW Overview
The following figure shows secure and insecure management of the UAG coming in from the WAN. HTTPS and SSH access are secure. HTTP and Telnet access are not secure.
Note: To allow the UAG to be accessed from a specified computer using a service, make sure you do not have a service control rule or to-Device firewall rule to block that traffic.
- See To-Device Rules on page 233 for more on To-Device firewall rules.
To stop a service from accessing the UAG, clear Enable in the corresponding service screen.
40.7.1 Service Access Limitations
A service cannot be used to access the UAG when:
1 You have disabled that service in the corresponding screen.
2 The allowed IP address (address object) in the Service Control table does not match the client IP address (the UAG disallows the session).
3 The IP address (address object) in the Service Control table is not in the allowed zone or the action is set to Deny.
4 There is a firewall rule that blocks it.
40.7.2 System Timeout
There is a lease timeout for administrators. The UAG automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling.
Each user is also forced to log in the UAG for authentication again when the reauthentication time expires.
You can change the timeout settings in the User/Group screens.
40.7.3 HTTPS
You can set the UAG to use HTTP or HTTPS (HTTPS adds security) for Web Configurator sessions. Specify which zones allow Web Configurator access and from which IP address the access can come.
HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web protocol that encrypts and decrypts web pages. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-level protocol that enables secure transactions of data by ensuring confidentiality (an unauthorized party cannot read the transferred data), authentication (one party can identify the other party) and data integrity (you know if data has been changed).
It relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys (see Chapter 38 on page 335 for more information).
HTTPS on the UAG is used so that you can securely access the UAG using the Web Configurator. The SSL protocol specifies that the HTTPS server (the UAG) must always authenticate itself to the HTTPS client (the computer which requests the HTTPS connection with the UAG), whereas the HTTPS client only should authenticate itself when the HTTPS server requires it to do so (select率达 Certificate in the WWW screen). Authenticate Client Certificates is optional and if selected means the HTTPS client must send the UAG a certificate. You must apply for a certificate for the browser from a CA that is a trusted CA on the UAG.
Please refer to the following figure.
1 HTTPS connection requests from an SSL-aware web browser go to port 443 (by default) on the UAG's web server.
2 HTTP connection requests from a web browser go to port 80 (by default) on the UAG's web server.
Figure 243 HTTP/HTTPS Implementation

Note: If you disable HTTP in the WWW screen, then the UAG blocks all HTTP connection attempts.
40.7.4 Configuring WWW Service Control
Click Configuration > System > WWW to open the WWW screen. Use this screen to specify from which zones you can access the UAG using HTTP or HTTPS. You can also specify which IP addresses the access can come from.
Note: Admin Service Control deals with management access (to the Web Configurator). User Service Control deals with user access to the UAG (logging into a web portal to access the Internet for example).

40.7.7.3 Avoiding Browser Warning Messages
Here are the main reasons your browser displays warnings about the UAG's HTTPS server certificate and what you can do to avoid seeing the warnings:
- The issuing certificate authority of the UAG's HTTPS server certificate is not one of the browser's trusted certificate authorities. The issuing certificate authority of the UAG's factory default certificate is the UAG itself since the certificate is a self-signed certificate.
- For the browser to trust a self-signed certificate, import the self-signed certificate into your operating system as a trusted certificate.
- To have the browser trust the certificates issued by a certificate authority, import the certificate authority's certificate into your operating system as a trusted certificate.
40.7.7.4 Login Screen
After you accept the certificate, the UAG login screen appears. The lock displayed in the bottom of the browser status bar denotes a secure connection.

Figure 252 Login Screen (Internet Explorer)
40.7.7.5 Enrolling and Importing SSL Client Certificates
The SSL client needs a certificate if Authenticate Client Certificates is selected on the UAG.
You must have imported at least one trusted CA to the UAG in order for the Authenticate Client Certificates to be active (see the Certificates chapter for details).
Apply for a certificate from a Certification Authority (CA) that is trusted by the UAG (see the UAG's Trusted CA Web Configurator screen).

Figure 253 UAG Trusted CA Screen

40.8 SSH
You can use SSH (Secure SSH) to securely access the UAG's command line interface. Specify which zones allow SSH access and from which IP address the access can come.
SSH is a secure communication protocol that combines authentication and data encryption to provide secure encrypted communication between two hosts over an unsecured network. In the following figure, computer A on the Internet uses SSH to securely connect to the WAN port of the UAG for a management session.

Figure 264 SSH Communication Over the WAN Example
40.8.1 How SSH Works
The following figure is an example of how a secure connection is established between two remote hosts using SSH v1.

Figure 265 How SSH v1 Works Example
1 Host Identification
The SSH client sends a connection request to the SSH server. The server identifies itself with a host key. The client encrypts a randomly generated session key with the host key and server key and sends the result back to the server.
The client automatically saves any new server public keys. In subsequent connections, the server public key is checked against the saved version on the client computer.
2 Encryption Method
Once the identification is verified, both the client and server must agree on the type of encryption method to use.
3 Authentication and Data Transmission
After the identification is verified and data encryption activated, a secure tunnel is established between the client and the server. The client then sends its authentication information (user name and password) to the server to log in to the server.
40.8.2 SSH Implementation on the UAG
Your UAG supports SSH versions 1 and 2 using RSA authentication and four encryption methods (AES, 3DES, Archfour, and Blowfish). The SSH server is implemented on the UAG for management using port 22 (by default).
40.8.3 Requirements for Using SSH
You must install an SSH client program on a client computer (Windows or Linux operating system) that is used to connect to the UAG over SSH.
40.8.4 Configuring SSH

40.11 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. Your UAG supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the UAG through the network. The UAG supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.

Figure 272 SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the UAG). 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.
40.11.1 Supported MIBs
The UAG supports MIB II that is defined in RFC-1213 and RFC-1215. The UAG also supports private MIBs (private.mib and enterprise.mib) to collect information about CPU and memory usage. The focus of the MIBs is to let administrators collect statistical data and monitor status and performance. You can download the UAG's MIBs from www.zyxel.com.
40.11.2 SNMP Traps
The UAG will send traps to the SNMP manager when any one of the following events occurs.
Table 193 SNMP Traps
| OBJECT LABEL | OBJECT ID | DESCRIPTION |
| Cold Start | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1 | This trap is sent when the UAG is turned on or an agent restarts. |
| linkDown | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3 | This trap is sent when the Ethernet link is down. |
| linkUp | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4 | This trap is sent when the Ethernet link is up. |
| authenticationFailure | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.5 | This trap is sent when an SNMP request comes from non-authenticated hosts. |
40.11.3 Configuring SNMP
To change your UAG's SNMP settings, click Configuration > System > SNMP tab. The screen appears as shown. Use this screen to configure your SNMP settings, including from which zones SNMP can be used to access the UAG. You can also specify from which IP addresses the access can come.

41.3 Log Settings Screens
The Log Settings screens control log messages and alerts. A log message stores the information for viewing or regular e-mailing later, and an alert is e-mailed immediately. Usually, alerts are used for events that require more serious attention, such as system errors and attacks.
The UAG provides a system log and supports e-mail profiles and remote syslog servers. View the system log in the MONITOR > Log screen. Use the e-mail profiles to mail log messages to the specific destinations. You can also have the UAG store system logs on a connected USB storage device. The other four logs are stored on specified syslog servers.
The Log Settings screens control what information the UAG saves in each log. You can also specify which log messages to e-mail for the system log, and where and how often to e-mail them. These screens also set for which events to generate alerts and where to email the alerts.
The first Log Settings screen provides a settings summary. Use the Edit screens to configure settings such as log categories, e-mail addresses, and server names for any log. Use the Log
Category Settings screen to edit what information is included in the system log, USB storage, e-mail profiles, and remote servers.

42.1 Overview
Configuration files define the UAG's settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can store on the UAG and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or run a shell script without the UAG restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files on the UAG. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to the UAG. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.
42.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Configuration File screen (see Section 42.2 on page 412) to store and name configuration files. You can also download configuration files from the UAG to your computer and upload configuration files from your computer to the UAG.
- Use the Firmware Package screen (see Section 42.3 on page 416) to check your current firmware version and upload firmware to the UAG.
- Use the Shell Script screen (see Section 42.4 on page 418) to store, name, download, upload and run shell script files.
42.1.2 What you Need to Know
Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file, the UAG uses the factory default settings for any features that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the UAG only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
These files have the same syntax, which is also identical to the way you run CLI commands manually. An example is shown below.
Figure 281 Configuration File / Shell Script: Example
<h1 id="enter-configuration-mode">enter configuration mode</h1>
configure terminal
<h1 id="change-administrator-password">change administrator password</h1>
username admin password 4321 user-type admin
<h1 id="configure-wan1">configure wan1</h1>
interface wan1
ip address 10.16.17.240 255.255.255.0
ip gateway 10.16.17.254 metric 1
exit
<h1 id="create-address-objects-for-remote-management-to-device-firewall-rules">create address objects for remote management / to-Device firewall rules</h1>
<h1 id="use-the-address-group-in-case-we-want-to-open-up-remote-management-later">use the address group in case we want to open up remote management later</h1>
address-object TW_SUBNET 10.16.37.0/24

firewall WAN Device insert 4
sourceip TWTEAM
service TELNET
action allow
exit
write
While configuration files and shell scripts have the same syntax, the UAG applies configuration files differently than it runs shell scripts. This is explained below.
Table 202 Configuration Files and Shell Scripts in the UAG
Configuration Files (.conf) Shell Scripts (.zysh)
Resets to default configuration. Goes into CLI Configuration mode.. Runs the commands in the configuration file. Goes into CLI Privilege mode.. Runs the commands in the shell script.
You have to run the example in Figure 281 on page 411 as a shell script because the first command is run in Privilege mode. If you remove the first command, you have to run the example as a configuration file because the rest of the commands are executed in Configuration mode.
Comments in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts
In a configuration file or shell script, use "#" or "#!" as the first character of a command line to have the UAG treat the line as a comment.
Your configuration files or shell scripts can use "exit" or a command line consisting of a single "!" to have the UAG exit sub command mode.
Note: "exit" or "!" must follow sub commands if it is to make the UAG exit sub command mode.
Line 3 in the following example exits sub command mode.
interface lan1
ip address dhcp
!
Lines 1 and 3 in the following example are comments and line 4 exits sub command mode.
!
interface lan1
<h1 id="this-interface-is-a-dhcp-client">this interface is a DHCP client</h1>
!
Lines 1 and 2 are comments. Line 5 exits sub command mode.
! this is from Joe
<h1 id="on-20080405">on 2008/04/05</h1>
interface lan1
ip address dhcp
!
Errors in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file or run a shell script, the UAG processes the file line-by-line. The UAG checks the first line and applies the line if no errors are detected. Then it continues with the next line. If the UAG finds an error, it stops applying the configuration file or shell script and generates a log.
You can change the way a configuration file or shell script is applied. Include setenv stop-on-error off in the configuration file or shell script. The UAG ignores any errors in the configuration file or shell script and applies all of the valid commands. The UAG still generates a log for any errors.
42.2 The Configuration File Screen
Click Maintenance > File Manager > Configuration File to open the Configuration File screen. Use the Configuration File screen to store, run, and name configuration files. You can also download configuration files from the UAG to your computer and upload configuration files from your computer to the UAG.
Once your UAG is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you back up your configuration file before making further configuration changes. The backup configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
Configuration File Flow at Restart
- If there is not a startup-config.conf when you restart the UAG (whether through a management interface or by physically turning the power off and back on), the UAG uses the system-default.conf configuration file with the UAG's default settings.
- If there is a startup-config.conf, the UAG checks it for errors and applies it. If there are no errors, the UAG uses it and copies it to the lastgood.conf configuration file as a back up file. If there is an error, the UAG generates a log and copies the startup-config.conf configuration file to the startup-config-bad.conf configuration file and tries the existing lastgood.conf configuration file. If there isn't a lastgood.conf configuration file or it also has an error, the UAG applies the system-default.conf configuration file.
- You can change the way the startup-config.conf file is applied. Include the setenv-startup stop-on-error off command. The UAG ignores any errors in the startup-config.conf file and applies all of the valid commands. The UAG still generates a log for any errors.

45.1 Overview
Use this to restart the device (for example, if the device begins behaving erratically). See also Section 1.5 on page 31 for information on different ways to start and stop the UAG.
45.1.1 What You Need To Know
If you applied changes in the Web configurator, these were saved automatically and do not change when you reboot. If you made changes in the CLI, however, you have to use the write command to save the configuration before you reboot. Otherwise, the changes are lost when you reboot.
Reboot is different to reset; (see Section 47.1 on page 445) reset returns the device to its default configuration.
45.2 The Reboot Screen
The Reboot screen allows remote users to restart the device. To access this screen, click Maintenance > Reboot.

Figure 311 Maintenance >Reboot
Click the Reboot button to restart the UAG. Wait a few minutes until the login screen appears. If the login screen does not appear, type the IP address of the device in your Web browser.
You can also use the CLI command reboot to restart the UAG.
46.1 Overview
Use this to shutdown the device in preparation for disconnecting the power. See also Section 1.5 on page 31 for information on different ways to start and stop the UAG.
Always use the Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown screen or the "shutdown" command before you turn off the UAG or remove the power. Not doing so can cause the firmware to become corrupt.
46.1.1 What You Need To Know
Shutdown writes all cached data to the local storage and stops the system processes.
46.2 The Shutdown Screen
To access this screen, click Maintenance > Shutdown.

Figure 312 Maintenance > Shutdown
Click the Shutdown button to shut down the UAG. Wait for the device to shut down before you manually turn off or remove the power. It does not turn off the power.
You can also use the CLI command shutdown to shutdown the UAG.
Troubleshooting
This chapter offers some suggestions to solve problems you might encounter.
- You can also refer to the logs (see Chapter 7 on page 92).
- For the order in which the UAG applies its features and checks, see Chapter 44 on page 429.
None of the LEDs turn on.
Make sure that you have the power cord connected to the UAG and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Make sure you have the UAG turned on. Check all cable connections.
If the LEDs still do not turn on, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact your local vendor.
Cannot access the UAG from the LAN.
- Check the cable connection between the UAG and your computer or switch.
- Ping the UAG from a LAN computer. Make sure your computer's Ethernet card is installed and functioning properly. Also make sure that its IP address is in the same subnet as the UAG's.
- In the computer, click Start, (All) Programs, Accessories and then Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt window, type "ping" followed by the UAG's LAN IP address (172.16.0.1 or 172.17.0.1 is the default) and then press [ENTER]. The UAG should reply.
- If you've forgotten the UAG's password, use the RESET button. Press the button in for about 5 seconds (or until the PWR LED starts to blink), then release it. It returns the UAG to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 172.16.0.1 or 172.17.0.1 etc.; see your User's Guide for details).
- If you've forgotten the UAG's IP address, you can use the commands through the console port to check it. Connect your computer to the CONSOLE port using a console cable. Your computer should have a terminal emulation communications program (such as HyperTerminal) set to VT100 terminal emulation, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control and 115200 bps port speed.
I cannot access the Internet.
-
Check the UAG's connection to the Ethernet jack with Internet access. Make sure the Internet gateway device (such as a DSL modem) is working properly.
-
Check the WAN interface's status in the Dashboard. Use the installation setup wizard again and make sure that you enter the correct settings. Use the same case as provided by your ISP.
I configured security settings but the UAG is not applying them for certain interfaces.
Many security settings are usually applied to zones. Make sure you assign the interfaces to the appropriate zones. When you create an interface, there is no security applied on it until you assign it to a zone.
The UAG is not applying the custom policy route I configured.
The UAG checks the policy routes in the order that they are listed. So make sure that your custom policy route comes before any other routes that the traffic would also match.
The UAG is not applying the custom firewall rule I configured.
The UAG checks the firewall rules in the order that they are listed. So make sure that your custom firewall rule comes before any other rules that the traffic would also match.
I cannot enter the interface name I want.
- The format of interface names other than the Ethernet interface names is very strict. Each name consists of 2-4 letters (interface type), followed by a number (x, limited by the maximum number of each type of interface). For example, VLAN interfaces are vlan0, vlan1, vlan2, ...; and so on.
- The names of virtual interfaces are derived from the interfaces on which they are created. For example, virtual interfaces created on Ethernet interface wan1 are called wan1:1, wan1:2, and so on. Virtual interfaces created on VLAN interface vlan2 are called vlan2:1, vlan2:2, and so on. You cannot specify the number after the colon(:) in the Web Configurator; it is a sequential number. You can specify the number after the colon if you use the CLI to set up a virtual interface.
I cannot set up a PPP interface, virtual Ethernet interface or virtual VLAN interface on an Ethernet interface.
You cannot set up a PPP interface, virtual Ethernet interface or virtual VLAN interface if the underlying interface is a member of a bridge. You also cannot add an Ethernet interface or VLAN interface to a bridge if the member interface has a virtual interface or PPP interface on top of it.
My rules and settings that apply to a particular interface no longer work.
The interface's IP address may have changed. To avoid this create an IP address object based on the interface. This way the UAG automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the object whenever the interface's IP address settings change. For example, if you change LAN1's IP address, the UAG automatically updates the corresponding interface-based, LAN1 subnet address object.
I cannot set up a PPP interface.
You have to set up an ISP account before you create a PPPoE or PPTP interface.
I cannot configure a particular VLAN interface on top of an Ethernet interface even though I have it configured it on top of another Ethernet interface.
Each VLAN interface is created on top of only one Ethernet interface.
The UAG is not applying an interface's configured ingress bandwidth limit.
At the time of writing, the UAG does not support ingress bandwidth management.
The UAG routes and applies SNAT for traffic from some interfaces but not from others.
The UAG automatically uses SNAT for traffic it routes from internal interfaces to external interfaces. For example LAN to WAN traffic. You must manually configure a policy route to add routing and SNAT settings for an interface with the Interface Type set to General. You can also configure a policy route to override the default routing and SNAT behavior for an interface with the Interface Type set to Internal or External.
I cannot get Dynamic DNS to work.
- You must have a public WAN IP address to use Dynamic DNS.
- Make sure you recorded your DDNS account's user name, password, and domain name and have entered them properly in the UAG.
-
You may need to configure the DDNS entry's IP Address setting to Auto if the interface has a dynamic IP address or there are one or more NAT routers between the UAG and the DDNS server.
-
The UAG may not determine the proper IP address if there is an HTTP proxy server between the UAG and the DDNS server.
I cannot create a second HTTP redirect rule for an incoming interface.
You can configure up to one HTTP redirect rule for each (incoming) interface.
The UAG keeps resetting the connection.
If an alternate gateway on the LAN has an IP address in the same subnet as the UAG's LAN IP address, return traffic may not go through the UAG. This is called an asymmetrical or "triangle" route. This causes the UAG to reset the connection, as the connection has not been acknowledged.
You can set the UAG's firewall to permit the use of asymmetrical route topology on the network (so it does not reset the connection) although this is not recommended since allowing asymmetrical routes may let traffic from the WAN go directly to the LAN without passing through the UAG. A better solution is to use virtual interfaces to put the UAG and the backup gateway on separate subnets. See Asymmetrical Routes on page 234 and the chapter about interfaces for more information.
I changed the LAN IP address and can no longer access the Internet.
The UAG automatically updates address objects based on an interface's IP address, subnet, or gateway if the interface's IP address settings change. However, you need to manually edit any address objects for your LAN that are not based on the interface.
I cannot get the RADIUS server to authenticate the UAG's default admin account.
The default admin account is always authenticated locally, regardless of the authentication method setting. (See Chapter 36 on page 328 for more information about authentication methods.)
The UAG fails to authentication the ext-user user accounts I configured.
An external server such as RADIUS must authenticate the ext-user accounts. If the UAG tries to use the local database to authenticate an ext-user, the authentication attempt will always fail. (This is related to AAA servers and authentication methods, which are discussed in Chapter 36 on page 328 and Chapter 37 on page 332, respectively.)
I cannot add the admin users to a user group with access users.
You cannot put access users and admin users in the same user group.
I cannot add the default admin account to a user group.
You cannot put the default admin account into any user group.
The schedule I configured is not being applied at the configured times.
Make sure the UAG's current date and time are correct.
I cannot get a certificate to import into the UAG.
1 For My Certificates, you can import a certificate that matches a corresponding certification request that was generated by the UAG. You can also import a certificate in PKCS#12 format, including the certificate's public and private keys.
2 You must remove any spaces from the certificate's filename before you can import the certificate.
3 Any certificate that you want to import has to be in one of these file formats:
- Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates.
- PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form.
- Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data (including digital signatures) that may be encrypted. A PKCS #7 file is used to transfer a public key certificate. The private key is not included. The UAG currently allows the importation of a PKS#7 file that contains a single certificate.
- PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable form.
- Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates. The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file's password is not connected to your certificate's public or private passwords. Exporting a PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you import the file into the UAG.
Note: Be careful not to convert a binary file to text during the transfer process. It is easy for this to occur since many programs use text files by default.
I cannot access the UAG from a computer connected to the Internet.
Check the service control rules and to-UAG firewall rules.
I uploaded a logo to display on the upper left corner of the Web Configurator login screen and access page but it does not display properly.
Make sure the logo file is a GIF, JPG, or PNG of 100 kilobytes or less.
I uploaded a logo to use as the screen or window background but it does not display properly.
Make sure the logo file is a GIF, JPG, or PNG of 100 kilobytes or less.
The UAG's traffic throughput rate decreased after I started collecting traffic statistics.
Data collection may decrease the UAG's traffic throughput rate.
I can only see newer logs. Older logs are missing.
When a log reaches the maximum number of log messages, new log messages automatically overwrite existing log messages, starting with the oldest existing log message first.
The commands in my configuration file or shell script are not working properly.
- In a configuration file or shell script, use "#" or "#!" as the first character of a command line to have the UAG treat the line as a comment.
- Your configuration files or shell scripts can use "exit" or a command line consisting of a single "+" to have the UAG exit sub command mode.
- Include write commands in your scripts. Otherwise the changes will be lost when the UAG restarts. You could use multiple write commands in a long script.
Note: "exit" or "+" must follow sub commands if it is to make the UAG exit sub command mode.
See Chapter 42 on page 410 for more on configuration files and shell scripts.
I cannot get the firmware uploaded using the commands.
The Web Configurator is the recommended method for uploading firmware. You only need to use the command line interface if you need to recover the firmware. See the CLI Reference Guide for how to determine if you need to recover the firmware and how to recover it.
My packet capture captured less than I wanted or failed.
The packet capture screen's File Size sets a maximum size limit for the total combined size of all the capture files on the UAG, including any existing capture files and any new capture files you generate. If you have existing capture files you may need to set this size larger or delete existing capture files.
The UAG stops the capture and generates the capture file when either the capture files reach the File Size or the time period specified in the Duration field expires.
My earlier packet capture files are missing.
New capture files overwrite existing files of the same name. Change the File Suffix field's setting to avoid this.
47.1 Resetting the UAG
If you cannot access the UAG by any method, try restarting it by turning the power off and then on again. If you still cannot access the UAG by any method or you forget the administrator password(s), you can reset the UAG to its factory-default settings. Any configuration files or shell scripts that you saved on the UAG should still be available afterwards.
Use the following procedure to reset the UAG to its factory-default settings. This overwrites the settings in the startup-config.conf file with the settings in the system-default.conf file.
Note: This procedure removes the current configuration.
If you want to reboot the device without changing the current configuration, see Chapter 45 on page 437.
1 Make sure the SYS LED is on and not blinking.
2 Press the RESET button and hold it until the SYS LED begins to blink. (This usually takes about five seconds.)
3 Release the RESET button, and wait for the UAG to restart.
You should be able to access the UAG using the default settings.
