Installation

This part will introduce Vigor router and guide to install the device in hardware and software.

I-1 Introduction

This is a generic International version of the user guide. Specification, compatibility and feature vary by region. For specific user guides suitable for your region or product, please contact local distributor.

Vigor2927 series integrates IP layer QoS, NAT session/bandwidth management to help users control works well with large bandwidth.

By adopting hardware-based VPN platform and hardware encryption of AES/ DES/ 3DES, the router increases the performance of VPN greatly, and offers several protocols (such as IPsec/ PPTP/ L2TP) with VPN tunnels.

The object-based design used in SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall allows users to set firewall policy with ease. CSM (Content Security Management) provides users control and management in IM (Instant Messenger) and P2P (Peer to Peer) more efficiency than before. By the way, DoS/ DDoS prevention and URL/ Web content filter strengthen the security outside and control inside. Object-based firewall is flexible and allows your network be safe.

User Management implemented on your router firmware can allow you to prevent any computer from accessing your Internet connection without a username or password. You can also allocate time budgets to your employees within office network.

With the 4-port Gigabit switch on the LAN side provides extremely high speed connectivity for the highest speed local data transfer of any server or local PCs. The tagged VLANs (IEEE802.1Q) can mark data with a VLAN identifier. This identifier can be carried through an onward Ethernet switch to specific ports. The specific VLAN clients can also pick up this identifier as it is just passed to the LAN. You can set the priorities for LAN-side QoS. You can assign each of VLANs to each of the different IP subnets that the router may also be operating, to provide even more isolation. The said functionality is tag-based Multi-subnet (Multiple-Private LAN Subnets).

On the Wireless-equipped models (e.g., Vigor2927Iac) each of the wireless SSIDs can also be grouped within one of the VLANs.

In addition, Vigor2927 series supports USB interface for connecting USB printer to share printing function or 3G USB modem for network connection.

Vigor2927 series provides two-level management to simplify the configuration of network connection. The user mode allows user accessing into WEB interface via simple configuration. However, if users want to have advanced configurations, they can access into WEB interface through admin mode.

Routing

It means wide area network. Public IP will be used in WAN.

It means local area network. Private IP will be used in LAN. Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of subnets regulated and ruled by router. The design of network structure is related to what type of public IP addresses coming from your ISP.

When the data flow passing through, the Network Address Translation (NAT) function of the router will dedicate to translate public/private addresses, and the packets will be delivered to the correct host PC in the local area network.

DNS, LAN DNS, LDAP, UPnP, IGMP, Wake on LAN/WAN, RADIUS/TACACS+, SMS/ Mail Alert, Bonjour, High Availability, Local 802.1x

Static Route, Load-Balance/ Route Policy, BGP

It allows users to access Internet.

Basics of Internet Protocol (IP) Network

IP means Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based Network including routers, print server, and host PCs, needs an IP address to identify its location on the network. To avoid address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with the Network Information Centre (NIC). Having a unique IP address is mandatory for those devices participated in the public network but not in the private TCP/IP local area networks (LANs), such as host PCs under the management of a router since they do not need to be accessed by the public. Hence, the NIC has reserved certain addresses that will never be registered publicly. These are known as private IP addresses, and are listed in the following ranges:

From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

What are Public IP Address and Private IP Address

As the router plays a role to manage and further protect its LAN, it interconnects groups of host PCs. Each of them has a private IP address assigned by the built-in DHCP server of the Vigor router. The router itself will also use the default private IP address: 192.168.1.1 to communicate with the local hosts. Meanwhile, Vigor router will communicate with other network devices through a public IP address. When the data flow passing through, the Network Address Translation (NAT) function of the router will dedicate to translate public/private addresses, and the packets will be delivered to the correct host PC in the local area network. Thus, all the host PCs can share a common Internet connection.

Get Your Public IP Address from ISP

In ADSL deployment, the PPP (Point to Point)-style authentication and authorization is required for bridging customer premises equipment (CPE). Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) connects a network of hosts via an access device to a remote access concentrator or aggregation concentrator. This implementation provides users with significant ease of use. Meanwhile it provides access control, billing, and type of service according to user requirement.

When a router begins to connect to your ISP, a serial of discovery process will occur to ask for a connection. Then a session will be created. Your user ID and password is authenticated via PAP or CHAP with RADIUS authentication system. And your IP address, DNS server, and other related information will usually be assigned by your ISP.

Network Connection by 3G/4G USB Modem

For 3G/4G mobile communication through Access Point is popular more and more, Vigor2927 adds the function of 3G/4G network connection for such purpose. By connecting 3G/4G USB Modem to the USB port of Vigor2927, it can support LTE/HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS/GSM and the future 3G/4G standard (HSUPA, etc). Vigor2927n with 3G/4G USB Modem allows you to receive 3G/4G signals at any place such as your car or certain location holding outdoor activity and share the bandwidth for using by more people. Users can use LAN ports on the router to access Internet. Also, they can access Internet via 802.11(a/b/g/n/ac) wireless standard, and enjoy the powerful firewall, bandwidth management, and VPN features of Vigor2927n series.

II-1-1 General Setup

This section will introduce some general settings of Internet and explain the connection modes for WAN1, WAN2, WAN3, WAN4, WAN5/LTE and WAN6 in details.

This router supports multiple-WAN function. It allows users to access Internet and combine the bandwidth of the multiple WANs to speed up the transmission through the network. Each WAN port can connect to different ISPs, even if the ISPs use different technology to provide telecommunication service (such as DSL, Cable modem, etc.). If any connection problem occurred on one of the ISP connections, all the traffic will be guided and switched to the normal communication port for proper operation. Please configure WAN1, WAN2, WAN3, WAN4, WAN5/LTE and WAN6 settings.

This webpage allows you to set general setup for WAN1, WAN2, WAN3, WAN4, WAN5/LTE and WAN6 respectively.

text_image Load Balance Weights Custom Upload Bandwidth Weight: Low High Download Bandwidth Weight: Low High Low Latency Weight: Low High Low Jitter Weight: Low High Less Packet Loss Weight: Low High
  • Upload / Download Bandwidth - The higher the weight is, the WAN interface with higher bandwidth will get higher usage.
  • Low Latency - It defines the time taken by Vigor router when sending the packets to the IP set in Link Condition Detection. The higher the weight is, the WAN interface with lower latency will get higher usage.
  • Low Jitter - It defines the change rate of latency. For stable session, small jitter value will be better. The higher the weight is, the WAN interface with lower jitter will get higher usage.
    ● Less Packet Loss - It defines the proportion that packets will be discarded before arriving at the IP set in Link Condition Detection. The higher the weight is, the WAN interface with lower packet loss will get higher usage.

Bandwidth-Based - The load balance weight for each WAN will be executed according to line speed setting (DownLink/ UpLink Rate). This is default setting.

Quality-Based - The load balance weight for each WAN will be executed according to the transmission rate, latency time and the jitter time.

Reliabilitiy-Based - The load balance weight for each WAN will be executed according to line speed and packet loss value. Usually, the WAN interface with low packet loss will have the higher ratio to be used.

II-1-2-11 Details Page for IPv6 – TSPC in WAN1/WAN2/WAN5/WAN6

Tunnel setup protocol client (TSPC) is an application which could help you to connect to IPv6 network easily.

Please make sure your IPv4 WAN connection is OK and apply one free account from hexago (http://gogonet.gogo6.com/page/freenet6-account) before you try to use TSPC for network connection. TSPC would connect to tunnel broker and requests a tunnel according to the specifications inside the configuration file. It gets a public IPv6 IP address and an IPv6 prefix from the tunnel broker and then monitors the state of the tunnel in background.

After getting the IPv6 prefix and starting router advertisement daemon (RADVD), the PC behind this router can directly connect to IPv6 the Internet.

II-2 LAN

Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of subnets regulated and ruled by router. The design of network structure is related to what type of public IP addresses coming from your ISP.

The most generic function of Vigor router is NAT. It creates a private subnet of your own. As mentioned previously, the router will talk to other public hosts on the Internet by using public IP address and talking to local hosts by using its private IP address. What NAT does is to translate the packets from public IP address to private IP address to forward the right packets to the right host and vice versa. Besides, Vigor router has a built-in DHCP server that assigns private IP address to each local host. See the following diagram for a briefly understanding.

In some special case, you may have a public IP subnet from your ISP such as 220.135.240.0/24. This means that you can set up a public subnet or call second subnet that each host is equipped with a public IP address. As a part of the public subnet, the Vigor router will serve for IP routing to help hosts in the public subnet to communicate with other public hosts or servers outside. Therefore, the router should be set as the gateway for public hosts.

What is Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

Vigor router will exchange routing information with neighboring routers using the RIP to accomplish IP routing. This allows users to change the information of the router such as IP address and the routers will automatically inform for each other.

What is Static Route

When you have several subnets in your LAN, sometimes a more effective and quicker way for connection is the Static routes function rather than other method. You may simply set rules to forward data from one specified subnet to another specified subnet without the presence of RIP.

What are Virtual LANs and Rate Control

You can group local hosts by physical ports and create up to 8 virtual LANs. To manage the communication between different groups, please set up rules in Virtual LAN (VLAN) function and the rate of each.

Web User Interface

A LAN comprises a collection of LAN clients, which are networked devices on your premises. A LAN client can be a computer, a printer, a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone, a mobile phone, a gaming console, an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), etc, and can have either a wired (using Ethernet cabling) or wireless (using Wi-Fi) network connection.

LAN clients within the same LAN are normally able to communicate with one another directly, as they are peers to one another, unless measures, such as firewalls or VLANs, have been put in place to restrict such access. Nowadays the most common LAN firewalls are implemented on the LAN client itself. For example, Microsoft Windows since Windows XP and Apple OS X have built-in firewalls that can be configured to restrict traffic coming in and going out of the computer. VLANs, on the other hand, are usually set up using network switches or routers, such as the Vigor2927.

To communicate with the hosts outside of the LAN, LAN clients have to go through a network gateway, which in most cases is a router (such as the Vigor 2862) that sits between the LAN and the ISP network, which is the WAN. The router acts as a director to ensure traffic between the LAN and the WAN reach their intended destinations.

DHCP ServerConfigurationDHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The router by factory default acts a DHCP server for your network so it automatically dispatches related IP settings to any local user configured as a DHCP client. It is highly recommended that you leave the router enabled as a DHCP server if you do not have a DHCP server for your network.If you want to use another DHCP server in the network other than the Vigor Router's, you can let Relay Agent help you to redirect the DHCP request to the specified location.Disable - Let you manually assign IP address to every host in the LAN.Enable Server - Let the router assign IP address to every host in the LAN.Start IP Address - The beginning LAN IP address that is given out to LAN DHCP clients.IP Pool Counts - The maximum number of IP addresses to be handed out by DHCP. The default value is 200. Valid range is between 1 and 1021. The actual number of IP addresses available for assignment is the IP Pool Counts, or 1021 minus the last octet of the Start IP Address, whichever is smaller.Gateway IP Address - The IP address of the gateway, which is the host on the LAN that relays all traffic coming into and going out of the LAN. The gateway is normally the router, and therefore the Gateway IPAddress should be identical to the IP Address in the Network Configuration section above.Lease Time - The maximum duration DHCP-issued IP addresses can be used before they have to be renewed.Clear DHCP lease for inactive clients periodically - If selected, the router sends ARP requests recycles IP addresses previously assigned to inactive DHCP clients to prevent exhaustion of the IP address pool.Note: When Clear DHCP lease for inactive clients periodically is enabled, router will do the following:Check activities of DHCP clients by ARP requests every minute when the available DHCP IP addresses are less than 30Clear DHCP lease when the client is not responding ARP replies.Enable Relay Agent - When selected, all DHCP requests are forwarded to a DHCP server outside of the LAN subnet, and whose address is specified in the DHCP Server IP Address field.DHCP Server IP Address - It is available when Enable Relay Agent is checked. Set the IP address of the DHCP server you are going to use so the Relay Agent can help to forward the DHCP request to the DHCP server.
DNS Server IP AddressDNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet host must have a unique IP address, also they may have a human-friendly, easy to remember name such as www.yahoo.com. The DNS server converts the user-friendly name into its equivalent IP address.Primary IP Address -You must specify a DNS server IP address here because your ISP should provide you with usually more than one DNS Server.Secondary IP Address - You can specify secondary DNS server IP address here because your ISP often provides you more than one DNS Server.The default DNS Server IP address can be found via Online Status:Online StatusDraytek Vigor 2927ac - II-2-1-1 Details Page for LAN1 – Ethernet TCP/IP and DHCP Setup - 4If both the Primary IP and Secondary IP Address fields are left empty, the router will assign DNS servers obtained from WAN interface to local users as a DNS proxy server and maintain a DNS cache. If there is no DNS servers available, router will use its own IP address instead.If the IP address of a domain name is already in the DNS cache, the router will resolve the domain name immediately. Otherwise, the router forwards the DNS query packet to the external DNS server by establishing a WAN (e.g. DSL/ Cable) connection.

When you finish the configuration, please click OK to save and exit this page.

Private IP addresses can be assigned automatically to LAN clients using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or manually assigned. The DHCP server can either be the

router (the most common case), or a separate server, that hands out IP addresses to DHCP clients.

Alternatively, static IP addresses can be manually configured on LAN clients as part of their network settings. No matter how IP addresses are configured, it is important that no two devices get the same IP address. If both DHCP and static assignment are used on a network, it is important to exclude the static IP addresses from the DHCP IP pool. For example, if your LAN uses the 192.168.1.x subnet and you have 20 DHCP clients and 20 static IP clients, you could configure 192.168.1.10 as the Start IP Address, 50 as the IP Pool Counts (enough for the current number of DHCP clients, plus room for future expansion), and use addresses greater than 192.168.1.100 for static assignment.

Item Description
Network ConfigurationEnable/Disable - Click Enable to enable such configuration; click Disable to disable such configuration.For NAT Usage - Click this radio button to invoke NAT function.For Routing Usage - Click this radio button to invoke this function.IP Address - This is the IP address of the router. (Default: 192.168.1.1).Subnet Mask - The subnet mask, together with the IP Address field, indicates the maximum number of clients allowed on the subnet. (Default: 255.255.255.0/ 24).
DHCP Server ConfigurationDisable - Let you manually assign IP address to every host in the LAN.Enable Server - Let the router assign IP address to every host in the LAN.Start IP Address - The beginning LAN IP address that is given out to LAN DHCP clients.IP Pool Counts - The maximum number of IP addresses to be handed out by DHCP. The default value is 100. Valid range is between 1 and 1021. The actual number of IP addresses available for assignment is the IP Pool Counts, or 1021 minus the last octet of the Start IP Address, whichever is smaller.Gateway IP Address - The IP address of the gateway, which is the host on the LAN that relays all traffic coming into and going out of the LAN. The gateway is normally the router, and therefore the Gateway IP Address should be identical to the IP Address in the Network Configuration section above.Lease Time - The maximum duration DHCP-issued IP addresses can be used before they have to be renewed.Clear DHCP lease for inactive clients periodically - If selected, the router sends ARP requests recycles IP addresses previously assigned to inactive DHCP clients to prevent exhaustion of the IP address pool.Note: When Clear DHCP lease for inactive clients periodically is enabled, router will do the following:- Check activities of DHCP clients by ARP requests every minute when the available DHCP IP addresses are less than 30- Clear DHCP lease when the client is not responding ARP replies.Enable Relay Agent - When selected, all DHCP requests are forwarded to a DHCP server outside of the LAN subnet, and whose address is specified in the DHCP Server IP Address field.DHCP Server IP Address - It is available when Enable Relay Agent is checked. Set the IP address of the DHCP server you are going to use so the Relay Agent can help to forward the DHCP request to the DHCP server.
DNS Server IP AddressDNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet host must have a unique IP address, also they may have a human-friendly, easy to remember name such as www.yahoo.com. The DNS server converts the user-friendly name into its equivalent IP address.Primary IP Address -You must specify a DNS server IP address here because your ISP should provide you with usually more than one DNS Server.Secondary IP Address - You can specify secondary DNS server IP address here because your ISP often provides you more than one DNS Server.The default DNS Server IP address can be found via Online Status:Online StatusPhysical Connection System Uptime: 22:22:45IPv4 IPv6LAN Status Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8 Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4IP Address TX Packets RX Packets192 168.1.1 0 41533If both the Primary IP and Secondary IP Address fields are left empty, the router will assign its own IP address to local users as a DNS proxy server and maintain a DNS cache.If the IP address of a domain name is already in the DNS cache, the router will resolve the domain name immediately. Otherwise, the router forwards the DNS query packet to the external DNS server by establishing a WAN (e.g. DSL/ Cable) connection.

II-2-2 VLAN

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) allow you to subdivide your LAN to facilitate management or to improve network security.

Select LAN>>VLAN from the menu bar of the Web UI to bring up the VLAN Configuration page.

Tagged VLAN

The tagged VLANs (802.1q) can mark data with a VLAN identifier. This identifier can be carried through an onward Ethernet switch to specific ports. The specific VLAN clients can also pick up this identifier as it is just passed to the LAN. You can set the priorities for LAN-side QoS. You can assign each of VLANs to each of the different IP subnets that the router may also be operating, to provide even more isolation. The said functionality is tag-based multi-subnet.

Port-Based VLAN

Relative to tag-based VLAN which groups clients with an identifier, port-based VLAN uses physical ports (P1 \~ P4) to separate the clients into different VLAN group.

Virtual LAN function provides you a very convenient way to manage hosts by grouping them based on the physical port. The multi-subnet can let a small businesses have much better isolation for multi-occupancy applications. Go to LAN page and select VLAN. The following page will appear. Click Enable to invoke VLAN function.

Below is an example page in Vigor2927ac:

Note:
1. For each VLAN row, selecting Enable VLAN Tag will apply the associated VID to the selected wired LAN port.
2. Wireless LAN traffic is always untagged, but the SSID is still a member of the selected VLAN (group).
3. Each VID must be unique.

The range is form 0 to 4095. VIDs must be unique.Priority - Valid values are from 0 to 7, where 1 has the lowest priority, followed by 0, and finally from 2 to 7 in increasing order of priority.
Permit untagged device in P1 to access routerSelect to allow untagged hosts connected to LAN port P1 to access the router. In case you have incorrectly configured VLAN functionality, you will still be able to access the router via the Web UI, and telnet and SSH shells to adjust the configuration.

Inter-LAN Routing

The Vigor router supports up to 15 VLANs. Each VLAN can be set up to use one or more of the Ethernet ports and wireless LAN Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs). Within the grid of VLANs (horizontal rows) and LAN interfaces (vertical columns),

● all hosts within the same VLAN (horizontal row) are visible to one another
● all hosts connected to the same LAN or WLAN interface (vertical column) are visible to one another if
- they belong to the same VLAN, or
- they belong to different VLANs, and inter-LAN routing (LAN>>General Setup) between them is enabled (see below).

Inter-LAN Routing allows different LAN subnets to be interconnected or isolated. It is only available when the VLAN functionality is enabled. In the Inter-LAN Routing matrix, a selected checkbox means that the 2 intersecting LANs can communicate with each other.

Vigor2927 series features a hugely flexible VLAN system. In its simplest form, each of the Gigabit LAN ports can be isolated from each other, for example to feed different companies or departments but keeping their local traffic completely separated.

Configuring port-based VLAN for wireless and non-wireless clients

  1. All the wire network clients are categorized to group VLAN0 in subnet 192.168.1.0/24 (LAN1).

  2. All the wireless network clients are categorized to group VLAN1 in subnet 192.168.2.0/24 (LAN2).

II-4 NAT

Usually, the router serves as an NAT (Network Address Translation) router. NAT is a mechanism that one or more private IP addresses can be mapped into a single public one. Public IP address is usually assigned by your ISP, for which you may get charged. Private IP addresses are recognized only among internal hosts.

When the outgoing packets destined to some public server on the Internet reach the NAT router, the router will change its source address into the public IP address of the router, select the available public port, and then forward it. At the same time, the router shall list an entry in a table to memorize this address/ port-mapping relationship. When the public server response, the incoming traffic, of course, is destined to the router's public IP address and the router will do the inversion based on its table. Therefore, the internal host can communicate with external host smoothly.

The benefit of the NAT includes:

  • Save cost on applying public IP address and apply efficient usage of IP address. NAT allows the internal IP addresses of local hosts to be translated into one public IP address, thus you can have only one IP address on behalf of the entire internal hosts.
    ● Enhance security of the internal network by obscuring the IP address. There are many attacks aiming victims based on the IP address. Since the attacker cannot be aware of any private IP addresses, the NAT function can protect the internal network.

Draytek Vigor 2927ac - II-4 NAT - 1

Info

On NAT page, you will see the private IP address defined in RFC-1918. Usually we use the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet for the router. As stated before, the NAT facility can map one or more IP addresses and/or service ports into different specified services. In other words, the NAT function can be achieved by using port mapping methods.

II-4-1 Port Redirection

Port Redirection is usually set up for server related service inside the local network (LAN), such as web servers, FTP servers, E-mail servers etc. Most of the case, you need a public IP address for each server and this public IP address/ domain name are recognized by all users. Since the server is actually located inside the LAN, the network well protected by NAT of the router, and identified by its private IP address/ port, the goal of Port Redirection function is to forward all access request with public IP address from external users to the mapping private IP address/ port of the server.

Note that the router has its own built-in services (servers) such as Telnet, HTTP and FTP etc. Since the common port numbers of these services (servers) are all the same, you may need to reset the router in order to avoid confliction.

For example, the built-in web user interface in the router is with default port 80, which may conflict with the web server in the local network, http://192.168.1.13:80. Therefore, you need to change the router's http port to any one other than the default port 80 to avoid conflict, such as 8080. This can be set in the System Maintenance >>Management Setup. You then will access the admin screen of by suffixing the IP address with 8080, e.g., http://192.168.1.1:8080 instead of port 80.

II-4-2 DMZ Host

As mentioned above, Port Redirection can redirect incoming TCP/UDP or other traffic on particular ports to the specific private IP address/port of host in the LAN. However, other IP protocols, for example Protocols 50 (ESP) and 51 (AH), do not travel on a fixed port. Vigor router provides a facility DMZ Host that maps ALL unsolicited data on any protocol to a single host in the LAN. Regular web surfing and other such Internet activities from other clients will continue to work without inappropriate interruption. DMZ Host allows a defined internal user to be totally exposed to the Internet, which usually helps some special applications such as Netmeeting or Internet Games etc.

Port Triggering is a variation of open ports function.

The key difference between "open port" and "port triggering" is:

  • Once the OK button is clicked and the configuration has taken effect, "open port" keeps the ports opened forever.
  • Once the OK button is clicked and the configuration has taken effect, "port triggering" will only attempt to open the ports once the triggering conditions are met.
  • The duration that these ports are opened depends on the type of protocol used. The "default" durations are shown below and these duration values can be modified via telnet commands.

TCP: 86400 sec.

UDP: 180 sec.

IGMP: 10 sec.

II-4-5 Port Knocking

Port Redirection is one of the typical ways to allow the internal servers to be accessible from the Internet. However, the port might be exposed to the Internet and might be scanned by the malware if it open.

Therefore, a technology which can add an extra layer of protection to the internal servers and protect network services from unauthorized access, Port Knocking.

Port knocking is a technology that can add an extra layer of protection to the internal servers. Its basic idea is that only open ports are at risk of being attacked, so it allows all ports to be closed at the beginning. Do not open them, and then set a password based on the port combination. Only those who know the password can open the ports and connect.

ALG means Application Layer Gateway. There are two methods provided by Vigor router, RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) ALG and SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) ALG, for processing the packets of voice and video.

RTSP ALG makes RTSP message, RTCP message, and RTP packets of voice and video be transmitted and received correctly via NAT by Vigor router.

However, SIP ALG makes SIP message and RTP packets of voice be transmitted and received correctly via NAT by Vigor router.

II-5 Applications

Dynamic DNS

Most ISPs assigns dynamic WAN IP addresses to their customers. Dynamic IP addresses presents challenges to users who would like to accept remote connections to their LANs from the Internet, as service could be disrupted due to the IP address changing without notice. By setting up service with a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) provider, and configuring Dynamic DNS updates on the Vigor router, you can have reliable access to your network by means of an easy-to-remember domain address that resolves to the most current WAN IP address.

The Vigor router supports a wide range of DDNS providers, such as DynDNS, No-IP.com, DtDNS, and ChangeIP. Please contact the DDNS provider of your choice to set up service before configuring DDNS on the router.

LAN DNS / DNS Forwarding

LAN DNS allows the network administrator to override standard DNS resolutions for selecting domain addresses. The router will respond to queries on matched domain addresses with custom IP addresses.

DNS Forwarding allows the network administrator to forward DNS queries to different DNS servers based on the domain name.

LAN DNS and DNS Forwarding only affect DNS queries that are sent to the WAN through the router. DNS queries that are directed to a DNS server on the LAN will not be intercepted by the router.

Schedule

The Vigor router has a built-in clock which can update itself manually or automatically by means of Network Time Protocols (NTP). As a result, you can not only schedule the router to dialup to the Internet at a specified time, but also restrict Internet access to certain hours so that users can connect to the Internet only during certain hours, say, business hours. The schedule is also applicable to other functions.

RADIUS/TACACS+

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a security authentication client/server protocol that supports authentication, authorization and accounting, which is widely used by Internet service providers. It is the most common method of authenticating and authorizing dial-up and tunneled network users.

The built-in RADIUS client feature enables the router to assist the remote dial-in user or a wireless station and the RADIUS server in performing mutual authentication. It enables centralized remote access authentication for network management.

LDAP /Active Directory Setup

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a communication protocol for using in TCP/IP network. It defines the methods to access distributing directory server by clients, work on directory and share the information in the directory by clients. The LDAP standard is established by the work team of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

As the name described, LDAP is designed as an effect way to access directory service without the complexity of other directory service protocols. For LDAP is defined to perform, inquire and modify the information within the directory, and acquire the data in the directory

securely, therefore users can apply LDAP to search or list the directory object, inquire or manage the active directory.

UPnP

The Vigor supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), which is a suite of network protocols that simplifies network configuration. Applications and network devices on the LAN, that support UPnP, may request the router to modify its settings to allow NAT Traversal, so that WAN hosts can connect to them directly.

Examples of applications and devices that support UPnP include file-sharing applications such as uTorrent, Vuze and eMule, gaming consoles such as the Sony PlayStations 3 and 4 Xbox 360 and Xbox One, media streaming applications such as Plex and XBMC, and messaging and calling applications such as Skype. To find out if a certain application or network device supports or requires UPnP, please consult its user manual or check with its vendor.

Wake on LAN

Using the Wake on LAN (WoL) feature, LAN clients that support WoL can be powered on or resume from sleep over the network, without the need for physical access to the device.

In order for LAN clients to be able to woken from sleep or off states, the network interface card must be configured to monitor Wake-on-LAN messages. Consult the documentation of the LAN client for details on setting up its network interface for Wake on LAN.

II-5-2 LAN DNS / DNS Forwarding

LAN DNS lets the network administrators host servers with privacy and security. When the network administrators of your office set up FTP, Mail or Web server inside LAN, you can specify specific private IP address (es) to correspondent servers. Thus, even the remote PC is adopting public DNS as the DNS server, the LAN DNS resolution on Vigor2927 series will respond the specified private IP address.

II-5-5 RADIUS/TACACS+

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a security authentication client/server protocol that supports authentication, authorization and accounting, which is widely used by Internet service providers. It is the most common method of authenticating and authorizing dial-up and tunneled network users.

The router supports external TACACS+ and internal and external RADIUS servers for user authentication. Services that require user authentication include WLAN and VPN.

To configure RADIUS or TACACS+ servers, from the Main Menu select Applications >> RADIUS/TACACS+.

II-5-5-1 External RADIUS

The built-in RADIUS client feature enables the router to assist the remote dial-in user or a wireless station and the RADIUS server in performing mutual authentication. It enables centralized remote access authentication for network management.

Vigor router can be operated as a RADIUS client. This web page is used to configure settings for external RADIUS server. Then LAN users of Vigor router will be authenticated and accounted by such server for network application.

Select External RADIUS to configure the router to use an external RADIUS server for user authentication.

The reminder as regards concern about Firewall and UPnP:

Can't work with Firewall Software

Enabling firewall applications on your PC may cause the UPnP function not working properly. This is because these applications will block the accessing ability of some network ports.

Security Considerations

Activating UPnP allows any application or network devices to open ports on the WAN side to allow connections to the LAN, which could compromise network security. Also if UPnP applications or network devices malfunction or terminate abnormally, the opened ports may remain open indefinitely, and thus increasing the chance of it getting exploited by malicious parties.

If you do not have applications or network devices which requires UPnP, you are advised to disable UPnP.

Info

UPnP is required for some applications such as PPS, Skype, eMule...and etc. If you are not familiar with UPnP, it is suggested to turn off this function for security.

II-5-9 Wake on LAN/WAN

II-5-9-1 Wake on LAN

Using the Wake on LAN (WoL) feature, LAN clients that support WoL can be powered on or resume from sleep over the network, without the need for physical access to the device.

In order for LAN clients to be able to wake from sleep or off states, the network interface card must be configured to monitor Wake-on-LAN messages. Consult the documentation of the LAN client for details on setting up its network interface for Wake on LAN.

If you wish to be able to select the IP address of the Wake-on-LAN client, its MAC address must first be bound to a static IP address using the Bind IP to MAC function.

To configure Wake on LAN settings, from the Main Menu select Applications >> Wake on LAN.

II-5-11 Bonjour

Bonjour is a service discovery protocol which is a built-in service in Mac OS X; for Windows or Linux platform, there is correspondent software to enable this function for free.

Usually, users have to configure the router or personal computers to use above services. Sometimes, the configuration (e.g., IP settings, port number) is complicated and not easy to complete. The purpose of Bonjour is to decrease the settings configuration (e.g., IP setting). If the host and user's computer have the plug-in bonjour driver install, they can utilize the service offered by the router by clicking the router name icon. In short, what the Clients/ users need to know is the name of the router only.

To enable the Bonjour service, click Application>>Bonjour to open the following page. Check the box(es) of the server service(s) that you want to share to the LAN clients.

Available settings are explained as follows:

Item Description
Enable Bonjour ServiceSelect to enable the Bonjour service on the router. The rest of the checkboxes will be enabled for selection when this checkbox has been selected.
HTTP ServerSelect to allow the router's HTTP server to be discovered via Bonjour.

II-5-12 High Availability

The High Availability (HA) feature of the router provides redundancy of network resources, and reduces downtime in case of component failure. The level of sophistication of HA is determined by availability requirements and tolerance of system interruptions. Systems that provide near full-time availability typically have redundant hardware and software.

The HA of the Vigor2927 Series is designed to avoid single points-of-failure. When failures occur, the failover process transfers the network load handled by the failed component (the primary router) to the backup component (the secondary router), and the availability of network resources are preserved and partially failed transactions are recovered. In a matter of seconds the system returns to normal operation.

In order to set up High Availability, at least 2 DrayTek routers have to be configured in the following manner:

● Enable High Availability on both the primary and secondary routers.
- Set a high priority ID on the primary router, and a lower priority ID on the secondary router.
- Configure identical redundancy methods, group IDs, and authentication keys on both routers.
- Set the management interface of both routers to the same subnet.
- Enable virtual IP on both routers for each subnet in use. Make sure the virtual IPs are identical on both routers.

II-6 Routing

Route Policy (also well known as PBR, policy-based routing) is a feature where you may need to get a strategy for routing. The packets will be directed to the specified interface if they match one of the policies. You can setup route policies in various reasons such as load balance, security, routing decision, and etc.

Through protocol, IP address, port number and interface configuration, Route Policy can be used to configure any routing rules to fit actual request. In general, Route Policy can easily reach the following purposes:

Load Balance

You may manually create policies to balance the traffic across network interface.

Specify Interface

Through dedicated interface (WAN/LAN/VPN), the data can be sent from the source IP to the destination IP.

Address Mapping

Allows you specify the outgoing WAN IP address (es) for an internal private IP address or a range of internal private IP addresses.

Priority

The router will determine which policy will be adopted for transmitting the packet according to the priority of Static Route and Route Policy.

Failover to/Failback

Packets will be sent through another Interface or follow another Policy when the original interface goes down (Failover to). Once the original interface resumes service (Failback), the packets will be returned to it immediately.

Other routing

Specify routing policy to determine the direction of the data transmission.

Add Static Routes to Private and Public Networks

Here is an example (based on IPv4) of setting Static Route in Main Router so that user A and B locating in different subnet can talk to each other via the router. Assuming the Internet access has been configured and the router works properly:

● use the Main Router to surf the Internet.
● create a private subnet 192.168.10.0 using an internal Router A (192.168.1.2)
● create a public subnet 211.100.88.0 via an internal Router B (192.168.1.3).
● have set Main Router 192.168.1.1 as the default gateway for the Router A 192.168.1.2.

Before setting Static Route, user A cannot talk to user B for Router A can only forward recognized packets to its default gateway Main Router.

  1. Go to LAN page and click General Setup, select 1st Subnet as the RIP Protocol Control. Then click the OK button.

Draytek Vigor 2927ac - II-6-1 Static Route - 4

Info

There are two reasons that we have to apply RIP Protocol Control on 1st Subnet. The first is that the LAN interface can exchange RIP packets with the neighboring routers via the 1st subnet (192.168.1.0/24). The second is that those hosts on the internal private subnets (ex. 192.168.10.0/24) can access the Internet via the router, and continuously exchange of IP routing information with different subnets.

  1. Click the Routing >> Static Route and click on the Index Number 1. Check the Enable box. Please add a static route as shown below, which regulates all packets destined to 192.168.10.0 will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2. Click OK.

If this field is blank, it means that all the destination ports will be passed through the WAN interface.
Send to if criteria matchedIf criteria are matched, the traffic will be sent to the designated interface and gateway.Interface - Packets match with the above criteria will be

transferred to the interface chosen here. Select an interface from the list (WAN/ LAN: A WAN or LAN interface; VPN: A Virtual Private Network; PVC).

Interface Mode - It is available if WAN is selected as the Interface.

  • IP Based Load Balance - The same source / destination IP pair will select the same WAN interface as policy. It is the default setting.
  • Session Based Load Balance - All of the WAN interfaces will be used (as out-going WAN) for passing through new sessions to get better transmission speed. Though good speed test result for throughput might be reached; however, some web site may not open smoothly, especially the site need authentication, e.g., FTP.

If you have no strong demand about speed test result, keep default settings as IP based.

Gateway - Select a gateway.

  • Default Gateway - Traffic will be sent to the default gateway address of the specified interface.
  • Specific Gateway - Traffic will be sent to the specified gateway address instead of the default gateway address.

Packet Forwarding to WAN/LAN via - When you choose LAN/WAN (e.g., WAN1) as the Interface for packet transmission, you have to specify the way the packet forwarded to.

● Force NAT - The source IP address will not be used to connect to the remote destination. Network Address Translation (NAT) will be used, where a common IP address will be used.
● Force Routing - The source IP address will be preserved when connecting to the remote destination.

Failover to - If the interface specified above loses connection, traffic can be forwarded to an alternate interface or be scrutinized by an alternate route policy.

  • WAN/LAN - Use the drop down list to choose an interface as an auto failover interface.
  • VPN - Use the drop down list to choose a VPN tunnel as a failover tunnel.
  • Route Policy – Use the drop down list to choose an existed route policy profile.
  • Gateway - The failed-over traffic can be sent to the Default Gateway of the alternate interface/route policy, or a Specific Gateway at the specified IP address.

Failback- When Failover to option is enabled, Administrator could also enable Failback to clear the existing session on Failover interface and return to the original interface immediately once the original interface resume its service. When Failback is not enabled, the router will only stop sending packets via the Failover interface when the existing sessions are cleared, and this might take a long time because some application will keep

sending packet once a while. Therefore, Failback option is recommended if Administrator wants the traffic to go via the primary interface as soon as possible.
PrioritySpecifies the priority of the rule in relation to other rules. Lowering the priority value increases the priority of the rule, and vice versa. Routes in the routing table have a priority value of 150, whereas the default routes have a priority value of 250.The default priority value of Load Balance/ Route Policy rules is 200. To change the priority, move the slider or enter a value.

A-1 How to set up Address Mapping with Route Policy?

Address Mapping is used to map a specified private IP or a range of private IPs of NAT subnet into a specified WAN IP (or WAN IP alias IP). Refer to the following figure.

This document introduces how to set up address mapping with Route Policy. When a WAN interface has multiple public IP addresses, Administrator may specify the outgoing IP for certain internal IP address by a Route Policy.

  1. Set up WAN IP Alias. Go to WAN >> Internet Access >> Details Page, and click on WAN IP Alias button.

A-3 Introduction to Load Balance/Route Policy

This document introduces the Load-Balance/ Route Policy. This feature allows network administrator to manage the outbound traffic more specifically.

The Policy set in Load-Balance/ Route Policy always has higher priority than Default Route and Auto Load Balance set in WAN >> General Setup, and always has lower priority than the Firewall Rules. Administrator may also define a priority to this policy.

To configure Route Policy, go to Routing>>Load-Balance/Route Policy. The following image is a screen-shot of Load-Balance/Route policy page. It lists all the policies and shows whether the policy is enabled, what are the criteria to match, and through which the interface should the traffic to go if the criteria are matched, and also its priority.

a. Select a Protocol.
b. Enter the Source IP address range, the Source IP could be a single address if the Start and End are the same.
c. Enter the Destination IP address range.

d. Select the Destination Port.

The above configuration is an example that if a packet is sent

from192.168.1.10\~192.168.1.100 to 8.8.8.8, no matter what the protocol or destination port is, it will follow this route policy.

  1. Next, we select an interface and gateway through which should the packet be sent if it matches the criteria.

II-7-2 SMS Inbox

This page will list the received SMS messages in the LTE SIM card. The SMS Inbox table shows the received date, the phone number or sender ID where this message was from, and the beginning of the message content.

Since the data size of one SMS is limited, a long message will be sent by multiple SMS. For the convenience of users, we provide two modes. Simple Mode lists SMS messages in order for received time. Advanced Mode lists SMS in order for real index in the SIM card. Different SIM cards have different capacities. In general, it's around 30 to 40 SMS. Please note that the SIM card can not receive new SMS when all SMS indexes are occupied.

Click the Simple Mode link or the Advanced Mode link below to switch between these two modes.

Part III Wireless LAN

Draytek Vigor 2927ac - Part III Wireless LAN - 1

Wireless

Wireless LAN enables high mobility so WLAN users can simultaneously access all LAN facilities just like on a wired LAN as well as Internet access.

III-1 Wireless LAN (2.4GHz/5GHz)

This function is available on wireless models only (models with -ax or -ac suffixes).

In recent years, the market for wireless communications has enjoyed tremendous growth. Wireless technology now reaches virtually every location on earth. Billions of people exchange information daily with wireless communication products. The Vigor2927 series of wireless routers (with “n”, “n-plus”, or “ac” in the model name), designed with maximum flexibility and efficiency in mind, is ideal for use in a small office or home. In a business environment, any authorized personnel can bring a WLAN-equipped tablet, PDA or notebook into a meeting room and connect to the network without drilling holes through walls or tearing up flooring to lay a clot of LAN cabling. Wireless networking enables high mobility so WLAN users can access all LAN resources in the same manner just as they would on a wired LAN, but without the cables.

All Vigor2927 wireless routers support 2.4 GHz. ac models add support for 5 GHz frequencies. Channel operations of 20 and 40 MHz are possible on the 2.4 GHz spectrum, and 20, 40 and 80 MHz are supported on the 5 GHz spectrum. “ac” models (2865ac) support data rates of up to 1.3 Gbps on 802.11ac 80 MHz channels, whereas “n” models support data rates of up to 300 Mbps on 802.11n 40 MHz channels.

Draytek Vigor 2927ac - III-1 Wireless LAN (2.4GHz/5GHz) - 1

Info

The actual data throughput will vary according to the network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, network overhead and building materials.

In an Infrastructure Mode of wireless network, Vigor wireless router plays a role as an Access Point (AP) connecting to lots of wireless clients or Stations (STA). All the STAs will share the same Internet connection via Vigor wireless router. The wireless network settings, such as SSID, channels, encryption protocol, can be configured in General Settings.

Multiple SSIDs

Vigor wireless routers support up to four SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers) per band for wireless connections. A service set is a group of wireless network clients that have the same

networking parameters. Each service set can be configured to have a unique name (SSID) and specific download and upload rates, and can be used by different categories of users.

Real-time Hardware Encryption

Vigor wireless routers are equipped with a hardware AES encryption engine to provide the most effective and efficient protection of wireless traffic, without sacrificing user experience.

Complete Security Standard Selection

To ensure the security and privacy of your wireless communication, we provide several prevailing standards on market.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK), and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.

In WPA-Personal, a pre-defined key (PSK) is used to encrypt traffic during data transmission. WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption whereas WPA2 applies AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). A major advantage of WPA-Enterprise is that it supports not only encryption but also authentication.

You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs. Because WEP has proven to be vulnerable to attacks, you should consider using WPA instead for the most secure connection. No matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data protection and/or privacy on your wireless network. The Vigor wireless router is very flexible and can support multiple secure connections with both WEP and WPA at the same time.

Draytek Vigor 2927ac - Complete Security Standard Selection - 1
Info

Separate the Wireless and the Wired LAN-WLAN Isolation

WLAN Isolation allows you to separate wireless LAN clients from wired ones, either for the purpose of quarantining certain users, or restricting their access to LAN resources. When WLAN isolation is enabled on an SSID, its users will only be able to connect to the WAN (i.e., internet). This is ideal for providing visitors Internet access while keeping the wired network secure.

For the highest degree of security, you may consider adding firewall rules to filter access by MAC address.

DFS Restrictions

In certain parts of the world, there are radar systems that are primary users of the 5 GHz band. WLAN equipment on the 5 GHz band is considered secondary users and must not cause interference to the primary users. By utilizing a feature called Dynamic Frequency Selection, the wireless router detects the presence of radar signals and relocates the wireless network to a clear channel. DFS channels vary by region, and we must obtain certification from the authorities before making them available for use on the Vigor router. We are working on DFS certification in Europe and will open up those channels by releasing new firmware once we pass certification. In Europe, these DFS channels will be made available 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136 and 140.

At this time, we have no plans to pursue DFS certification in the USA, so DFS channels will not be available in the foreseeable future. The U.S. DFS channels 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136 and 140 will not be available on routers sold in the United States.

In the rest of world, there are restrictions on DFS channels as well. Uncertified DFS channels will be unavailable for selection depending on the country code programmed in the router.

III-1-1 Wireless Wizard

On Wi-Fi-equipped models, you can configure the wireless access point (AP) using the Wireless Wizard. The Host AP Configuration sets up SSID 1 for use by internal users, who are allowed to access both the LAN and the WAN (Internet), whereas the Guest AP Configuration sets up SSID 2 for use by visitors, who are allowed only WAN access and whose access speeds can optionally be throttled.

The Wireless Wizard allows you to quickly configure a host SSID (for internal use, such as in a home or business environment), and optionally a guest SSID (for wireless clients that are restricted to Internet access only, typically used by visitors).

Follow the steps listed below:

  1. On the menu bar, click on Wizards, and then Wireless Wizard.

  2. The Host AP Configuration page appears. This page sets up SSID 1 for use by internal users. SSID 1 configured using the wizard will have no access speed throttling (by means of the Rate Control feature), and both the LAN and the WAN will be accessible.

Info

WPS works with wireless stations with WPS or WPS2 support. It does not work with WEP.

It is the simplest way to build connection between wireless network clients and vigor router. Users do not need to select any encryption mode and type any long encryption passphrase to setup a wireless client every time. He/she only needs to press a button on wireless client, and WPS will connect for client and router automatically.

There are two methods to do network connection through WPS between AP and Stations: pressing the Start PBC button or using PIN Code.

Using the PBC button

On the Vigor router, press and hold the WPS button on the front panel for 2 seconds, or click the Start PBC button on the Wireless LAN>>WPS page in the Web User Interface. On the wireless station (for example, a laptop computer), press the WPS/Start PBC button on the network card.

III-1-6 WDS (for 5GHz)

Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a protocol for linking access points (AP) wirelessly. WDS supports two modes:

• Bridge mode, which bridges traffic between two LANs wirelessly.

• Repeater mode, which extends the coverage range of a WLAN.

    PCUser2 --> NoteBookA["Notebook A"]
    PCUser2 --> NoteBookB["Notebook B"]

The main difference between these two modes is that, in Repeater mode, the packets received from one peer AP can be repeated to another peer AP through WDS links, whereas in Bridge mode, packets received from a WDS link will only be forwarded to local wired or wireless hosts. In other words, only Repeater mode can do WDS-to-WDS packet forwarding.

In the following example, hosts connected to Bridge 1 or 3 can communicate with hosts connected to Bridge 2 through WDS links. However, hosts connected to Bridge 1 cannot communicate with hosts connected to Bridge 3 through Bridge 2.

Item Description
Operation ModeMixed Mode - The router can transmit data using all protocols supported by 802.11a/ b/ g and 802.11n standards. However, all wireless transmissions will be slowed down when any 802.11g or 802.11b wireless client is connected.Green Field - Select this mode to achieve the highest throughput. This mode supports data transmission between 802.11n systems only. In addition, it does not have protection mechanism to prevent conflicts with neighboring 802.11a/ b/ g devices.
Channel BandwidthThe available options will be changed according to the model you have.20 -Vigor Router will utilize 20 MHz channels for data transmission and reception between the AP and wireless stations.40 -Vigor Router will utilize 40 MHz for data transmission and reception between the AP and wireless stations.20/40 - Vigor Router will utilize either 20 MHz or 40 MHz for data transmission and reception depending on the number of nearby wireless APs. 20MHz will be used when there are more than 10 wireless APs; otherwise 40MHz will be used. Selecting this setting ensures the best performance for data transit on networks with both 20 MHz and 40 MHz clients.
Guard IntervalEnabling this setting ensures the integrity of wireless traffic by inserting guard intervals between symbols to reduce the adverse effects of propagation delays, and signal multipath or reflections. If you choose auto as guard interval, the router will choose short guard interval (which increases wireless performance) or long guard interval for data transmit depending on the station capability.
Aggregation MSDU (A-MSDU)Aggregation MSDU can combine frames of different sizes to improve performance at the MAC layer for clients from certain manufacturers. The default setting is Enable.
Long PreambleThis option determines the length of the sync field in an 802.11 packet. Most modern wireless network uses short preamble with 56 bit sync fields which yield better transmission speeds. However, some older 802.11b wireless devices only support long preamble which uses 128-bit sync fields. Click Enable to use Long Preamble to maintain compatibility with these devices.
Packet-OVERDRIVEThis feature can enhance the performance in data transmission about 40%* (by checking Tx Burst). It is active only when both the Access Point and Station (in wireless client) support and invoke this function at the same time.Note: Vigor N61 wireless adapter supports this function. Therefore, you can install it on your PC to take advantage of Packet-OVERDRIVE (Refer to the following picture of Vigor N61 wireless utility window: choose Enable for TxBURST on the Option tab).

Info * Real transmission rate depends on the environment of the network.
Antenna Vigor router can beattached with two antennas to have good data transmission via wireless connection. However, if you have only one antenna attached, please choose 1T1R.
TX PowerSets the power percentage of the access point's transmission signal. The greater the TX Power value, the higher intensity of the signal will be.
WMM CapableWMM stands for Wi-Fi Multimedia. It provides basic Quality of Service (QoS) by prioritizing traffic based on four access categories defined in the IEEE 802.11e standard. The access categories are AC_VO, AC_VI, AC_BE and AC_BK, which corresponds to traffic types of voice, video, best effort and low priority (background) data, respectively.To apply WMM parameters to wireless data transmission, click the Enable radio button.
APSD CapableAPSD (Automatic Power-Save Delivery) is an enhancement over the power-saving mechanisms supported by Wi-Fi networks. It allows access points to buffer traffic before transmitting it to wireless devices, thus allowing wireless devices to enter into power saving mode which reduces power consumption. Not all wireless clients support APSD properly, and the only way to find out if APSD is appropriate for your network is to experiment.The default setting is Disable.
Rate Adaptation AlgorithmSets the way the Wireless transmission rate is adjusted dynamically. In most cases, selecting “New” will result in better performance than “Old”.
Fragment Length(256 - 2346)Set the Fragment threshold. You are advised to leave the default value, 2346, untouched.
RTS Threshold (1 - 2347)Minimize the collision (unit is bytes) between hidden stations to improve wireless performance.Set the RTS threshold. Do not modify default value if you
don't know what it is, default value is 2347.Adjusts the 802.11 maximum transmit frame size, which might reduce chances of collision with hidden stations. You are advised to leave the default value, 2347, untouched.
Country Code Vigor router broadcasts country codes according to the 802.11d standard. However, some wireless stations will detect/ scan access points looking for country codes to determine which country it is in, and utilize channels appropriate to the country. The wireless client might get confused if there are multiple access points in the vicinity broadcasting different country codes. In such cases, it might be necessary to change the country code of the access point to ensure these clients can successfully establish a wireless connection.
Isolate 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandsThe default setting is “Enable”. It means that the wireless client using 2.4GHz band is unable to connect to the wireless client with 5GHz band, and vice versa.For WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz set with the same SSID name:No matter such function is enabled or disabled, clients using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz can communicate for each other if Isolate Member (in Wireless LAN>>General Setup) is NOT enabled for such SSID.Yet, if the function of Isolate Member (in Wireless LAN>>General Setup) is enabled for such SSID, clients using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz will be unable to communicate with each other.

III-1-8 Station Control

Station Control is used to specify the duration that the wireless client can connect to the Vigor router. If this function is disabled, wireless clients can connect to the router as long as the router is powered on and the wireless feature is enabled.

This feature is especially useful for free WiFi service. For example, a coffee shop may offer free Wi-Fi service to its guests for one hour every day. In this scenario, the connection time can be set to "1 hour" and reconnection time set to "1 day". In this way, every guest can surf the net for at most one hour, thus freeing up resources for other guests.

III-1-11 Airtime Fairness

Airtime fairness is essential in wireless networks that must support critical enterprise applications.

Most of the applications are either symmetric or require more downlink than uplink capacity; telephony and email send the same amount of data in each direction, while video streaming and web surfing involve more traffic sent from access points to clients than the other way around. This is essential for ensuring predictable performance and quality-of-service, as well as allowing 802.11n and legacy clients to coexist on the same network. Without airtime fairness, offices using mixed mode networks risk having legacy clients slow down the entire network or letting the fastest client(s) crowd out other users.

With airtime fairness, every client at a given quality-of-service level has equal access to the network's airtime.

The wireless channel can be accessed by only one wireless station at the same time.

The principle behind the IEEE802.11 channel access mechanisms is that each station has equal probability to access the channel. When wireless stations have similar data rate, this principle leads to a fair result. In this case, stations get similar channel access time which is called airtime.

However, when stations have various data rate (e.g., 11g, 11n), the result is not fair. The slow stations (11g) work in their slow data rate and occupy too much airtime, whereas the fast stations (11n) become much slower.

Take the following figure as an example, there are 2 wireless stations on the wireless network, Station A (11g) and Station B (11n), both of which transmit data packets to the Vigor router. Even though they have equal opportunity to access the wireless channel, Station B (11n) gets only a little airtime and waits too much because Station A (11g) takes longer to send one packet. In other words, transmission from Station B (fast rate) is effectively being throttled by Station A (slow rate).

    D --> E["Packet"]
    E --> F["P"]
    F --> G["Packet"]
    G --> H["P"]
    H --> I["Time"]

To alleviate this problem, Airtime Fairness tries to assign similar airtime to each station (A and B) by controlling TX traffic. In the following figure, Station B (11n) has higher opportunities to send data packets than Station A (11g). In this way, Station B (fast rate) gets its fair share of airtime and its speed is not limited by Station A (slow rate).

    A["Station A"] --> B["11g Packet"]
    C["Station B"] --> D["11n P P P P P"]
    B --> E["Time"]
    D --> F["Time"]

This is similar to automatic Bandwidth Limit, where the dynamic bandwidth limit of each station depends on instant active station number and airtime assignment. Please note that Airtime Fairness of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are independent, but stations connected to different SSIDs on the same band are prioritized as a group, because they all use the same wireless channel. Under certain environments, this function can reduce the adverse effects of slow wireless devices and improve the overall wireless performance.

Environments that can benefit by applying airtime fairness:

(1) Many wireless stations.
(2) All stations mainly use download traffic.
(3) The performance bottleneck is wireless connection.

III-1-13 Roaming

WiFi roaming allows wireless stations to switch connections between access points within an area to achieve better coverage and signal quality. It usually is up to the wireless station to switch to another access point with stronger signal strength while it is already connected, but Vigor wireless routers have an AP-assisted client roaming feature that could facilitate roaming on wireless stations. Depending on the roaming configuration, the Vigor monitors the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of wireless stations and disconnect stations whose RSSI falls below a certain (configurable) threshold, thus forcing stations to seek out other WiFi hosts to connect to.

To configure wireless roaming settings, go to Wireless LAN >> Roaming.

  • It must be composed by "1" Mesh Root and "0\~7" mesh nodes
    ● (Roaming) Normally members in a mesh group use the same Wireless SSID/ security
  • (Add) Only the mesh root can add a new mesh node into the mesh group
    ● (Recover) A disconnected mesh node will automatically try to connect to another connected mesh node of the same group

Mesh Root

Mesh Root indicates that Vigor router would be other AP's uplink connection. As a Mesh Root, Vigor router must connect to internet through WANs to have an internet connection.

Tips for Mesh network setup

  • Set up TWO mesh devices with uplink RSSI larger than -65dBm.
  • Upgrade the firmware version of Mesh devices through Mesh link, starting from the mesh device with less hop number. For example, upgrade the firmware from the root, hop1 Mesh Node then hop2 Mesh Node, and so on.

- VigorMesh network supports up to 3 hops of mesh devices. However, it is suggested to connect the mesh group with less than or equals to 2 hops.

For your reference, we make a real mesh environment test and get the following record. (Use VigorAP APP to do internet speed test with different hops mesh node.)

Internet Download Speed (for root and hop1 \~ hop3):

iPad connects to Root : 80Mbps

iPad connects to hop1 Node : 49Mbps (Uplink RSSI : -55dBm)

iPad connects to hop2 Node : 41Mbps (Uplink RSSI : hop2 -64dBm / hop1 -55dBm)

iPad connects to hop3 Node : 26Mbps (Uplink RSSI : hop3 -62dBm / hop2 -68dBm / hop1 -55dBm)

  • It is not suggested to use a wireless Mesh Node with Ethernet cable connected to a Mesh Root.
  • If resetting a Mesh Root,

  • All "connected" Mesh Nodes will be informed to reset.

  • Group List and Group Key will be reset, too.
  • For those Mesh Nodes unable to reset, reset them manually. Reset the Group List by web or factory default.

- If resetting a Mesh Node,

  • Group List and Group Key will be cleared.
  • Link Status will become "New".

- If Mesh Search / Apply / Discover is worked too fast or is done with empty result, your request may be rejected. Please try again.

- Troubleshooting:

  • Check the firmware version. Please make sure all APs within the mesh group are in the newest firmware version.
  • Check the OP (operation) Mode. Make sure new Mesh Node doesn't accidentally get DHCP IP and becomes AP mode.
  • Check the country code and channels. For example, it is impossible for connecting a VigorAP 912C Mesh Root with 5G channel 36 to VigorAP920R Wireless Mesh Node in EU country code.
  • Check the channel load. Make sure it is not over 70%.

Draytek Vigor 2927ac - IV-1 VoIP - 2

Info

This function is used for "V" models.

There are many different call signaling protocols, methods by which VoIP devices can talk to each other. The most popular protocols are SIP, MGCP, Megaco and H.323. These protocols are not all compatible with each other (except via a soft-switch server).

The Vigor V models support the SIP protocol as this is an ideal and convenient deployment for the ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Provider) and softphone and is widely supported. SIP is an end-to-end, signaling protocol that establishes user presence and mobility in VoIP structure. Every one who wants to talk using his/her SIP Uniform Resource Identifier, "SIP Address". The standard format of SIP URI is

sip: user:password @ host: port

Some fields may be optional in different use. In general, "host" refers to a domain. The "userinfo" includes the user field, the password field and the @ sign following them. This is very similar to a URL so some may call it "SIP URL". SIP supports peer-to-peer direct calling and also calling via a SIP proxy server (a role similar to the gatekeeper in H.323 networks), while the MGCP protocol uses client-server architecture, the calling scenario being very similar to the current PSTN network.

After a call is setup, the voice streams transmit via RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol). Different codecs (methods to compress and encode the voice) can be embedded into RTP packets. Vigor V models provide various codecs, including G.711 A/ -law, G.723, G.726 and G.729 A & B. Each codec uses a different bandwidth and hence provides different levels of voice quality. The more bandwidth a codec uses the better the voice quality, however the codec used must be appropriate for your Internet bandwidth.

Calling via SIP Servers

First, the Vigor V models of yours will have to register to a SIP Registrar by sending registration messages to validate. Then, both parties' SIP proxies will forward the sequence of messages to caller to establish the session.

If you both register to the same SIP Registrar, then it will be illustrated as below:

    C["Bob"] --> D["Proxy b.com"]
    B --> E["Registrar draytel.com"]
    D --> E
    E --> F["Cloud Cloud"]

The major benefit of this mode is that you don't have to memorize your friend's IP address, which might change very frequently if it's dynamic. Instead of that, you will only have to using dial plan or directly dial your friend's account name if you are with the same SIP Registrar.

Peer-to-Peer

Before calling, you have to know your friend's IP Address. The Vigor VoIP Routers will build connection between each other.

Vigor V models firstly apply efficient codecs designed to make the best use of available bandwidth, but Vigor V models also equip with automatic QoS assurance. QoS Assurance assists to assign high priority to voice traffic via Internet. You will always have the required inbound and outbound bandwidth that is prioritized exclusively for Voice traffic over Internet but you just get your data a little slower and it is tolerable for data traffic.

IP CallEnable IP Call - It allows that a user could dial outgoing IP Calls; and Vigor router could receive the incoming IP Calls.

Application for Secure Phone

Enable SAS Voice Prompt, for ex: if vigor router A calls vigor router B with checking Enable Secure Phone and Enable SAS Voice Prompt, then:

  1. After the connection established, vigor router A will send SAS voice prompt to A and vigor router B will send the SAS voice prompt to B.
  2. Then the RTP traffic is secured until the call ends.

  3. If vigor router A wants to call vigor router B again next time, both A and B will not hear any voice prompt again even checking Enable SAS Voice Prompt on web UI. It means only the first call between them will have voice prompt.

Enable SAS Voice Prompt, for ex: if vigor router A calls vigor router B with checking Enable Secure Phone but not Enable SAS Voice Prompt, then:

  1. After the connection established, vigor router A will NOT send SAS voice prompt to vigor router A and vigor router B will NOT send the SAS voice prompt to vigor router B.

  2. Even no voice prompt, but the RTP traffic is still secured until the call ends.

Draytek Vigor 2927ac - Application for Secure Phone - 1

Info

If the incoming or outgoing calls do not match any entry on the phonebook, the router will try to make the call "being protected". But, if the call ends up "unprotected"(e.g. peer side does not support ZRTP+SRTP), the router will not play out a warning message.

IV-1-3 SIP Accounts

In this section, you set up your own SIP settings. When you apply for an account, your SIP service provider will give you an Account Name or user name, SIP Registrar, Proxy, and Domain name. (The last three might be the same in some case). Then you can tell your folks your SIP Address as in Account Name@ Domain name

As Vigor VoIP Router is turned on, it will first register with Registrar using AuthorizationUser@Domain/Realm. After that, your call will be bypassed by SIP Proxy to the destination using AccountName@Domain/Realm as identity.

IV-1-3-1 Alias List

This page lists all SIP alias profiles.

A SIP alias is just like an extension number in that people can dial it to reach a specific person directly. Normally, when you have a user account for one ITSP, the ITSP will provide you one SIP account. However, with this feature, you can own multiple SIP alias over one SIP account. When you register with a regular user account, the alias is registered as well as the main SIP account. Then, when somebody dials the alias, the SIP URI bound to the alias will ring.

Certificate Management

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is the extension of a private network that encompasses links across shared or public networks like the Internet. In short, by VPN technology, you can send data between two computers across a shared or public network in a manner that emulates the properties of a point-to-point private link.

A digital certificate works as an electronic ID, which is issued by a certification authority (CA). It contains information such as your name, a serial number, expiration dates etc., and the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority so that a recipient can verify that the certificate is real. Here Vigor router support digital certificates conforming to standard X.509.

V-1 VPN and Remote Access

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an extension of a private network that allows users to access network resources that available on the private network across shared or public networks such as the Internet, as if users are directly connected to the private network.

Here are some uses of VPNs:

● Communication between home office and customer.
- Secure connection between Teleworker, staff on business trip and main office.
● Exchange data between remote office and main office.
● POS between chain store and headquarters.
● Circumvention of Internet censorship that filters websites or contents.
- Circumvention of geolocation techniques employed by service providers or vendors to block or restrict services to users.
- Secure communications over public access points

Item Description
Enable PPTP VPN ServiceThis is the one of the earliest VPN protocols and is natively supported by all Microsoft Windows versions since Windows 95, all Android devices, iOS devices before version 10, and Mac OS X before version 10.12. It is easy to set up, has low overhead, and moderately secure.
Enable IPSec VPN ServiceThis is a network protocol that encrypts traffic between two network locations. Windows, by means of Windows Firewall, natively supports IPsec tunnels between endpoints with static IP addresses. For computers with dynamically-assigned IP addresses, DrayTek provides the SmartVPN client .
Enable L2TP VPN ServiceThis is a tunneling protocol used in VPNs. It does not encrypt network traffic unless used in conjunction with IPsec.
Enable SSL VPN ServiceThis type of VPN uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), which are also used to encrypt traffic to and from websites. Since SSL and TLS work on top of TCP and UDP, which are the most common internet protocols, they are less likely to be have issues with firewalls and gateways.
Enable OpenVPN ServiceThis type of VPN offers a convenient way for users to build VPN between local end and remote end.
Enable WireGuard VPN ServiceWireGuard is a secure, fast, and modern open-source VPN Protocol. This type of VPN connection is made by exchanging public keys and intends to be considerably more performant than OpenVPN.

Item Description
Dial-In PPP AuthenticationPAP Only - Authenticate dial-in users using the PAP protocol only.PAP/CHAP/MS-CHAP/MS-CHAPv2 - Attempt to authenticate dial-in users using various CHAP protocols, and if the remote VPN client fails to authenticate, fall back to PAP.
Dial-In PPP Encryption (MPPE)Specifies if PPP encryption (MPPE) is to be used for dial-in VPN connections.Optional MPPE - MPPE is optional. If the VPN client supports MPPE, PPP data will be encrypted.Require MPPE (40/128bits) - Require PPP encryption for dial-in VPN connections. Both 40- and 128-bit encryption schemes are allowed. The remote dial-in user will use 40-bit to perform encryption prior to using 128-bit for encryption. In other words, if 128-bit MPPE encryption method is not available, then 40-bit encryption scheme will be applied to encrypt the data.Maximum MPPE - Require 128-bit PPP encryption for all dial-in VPN connections.
Mutual AuthenticationSpecifies if mutual authentication is to be used. Some VPN
(PAP)peers (e.g., certain Cisco routers) require bi-directional authentication used for providing stronger security.When mutual authentication is enabled, Username and Password fields should also be populated using values from the VPN peer. The maximum lengths of these fields are 23 and 19 characters, respectively.Yes- Enable mutual authentication.No- Disable mutual authentication.
IP Address Assignment for Dial-In Users when DHCP is disabledLAN1- When the router's DHCP server is disabled, the router will assign IP addresses to dial-in VPN users starting with the IP address specified in Start IP Address. The total number of dial-in VPN IP addresses to be given out is specified in IP Pool Counts.LAN2 ~ LAN8 and DMZ will be available if it is enabled. Refer to LAN>>General Setup for enabling the LAN interface.
PPP Authentication MethodsThe credentials to be used for PPP authentication will be obtained from the selected sources, in the following order:Remote Dial-in User- The usernames and passwords in VPN and Remote Access >> Remote Dial-in User section will be used.RADIUS- An external RADIUS server is to be used for authentication. Please be sure to set up the RADIUS server in Applications >> RADIUS/ TACACS+ section.AD/LDAP- An Active Directory/ LDAP server is to be used for authentication. Please be sure to configure AD and LDAP settings in Applications >> Active Directory/ LDAP.TACACS+ - A TACACS+ server is to be used for authentication. Please be sure to set up the RADIUS server in Applications >> RADIUS/ TACACS+ section.
PPTP LDAP ProfileConfigured LDAP profiles will be listed under such item.Simply check the one you want to enable the PPP authentication by LDAP server profiles.However, if there is no profile listed, simply click the link of PPTP LDAP Profile to create/ add some new LDAP profiles you want.
VPN TCP maximum segment size (MSS)Set the maximum segment size (MSS) for different VPN types.Please specify the MSS values for each type to avoid packets cut by MTU during the data transmission period via the IPsec VPN connection.
While using Radius or LDAP AuthenticationWhen the dial-in VPN user is authenticated using credentials from the Remote Dial-in User section, an IP address from the LAN specified in the user profile will be assigned. When the user is authenticated using credentials from other sources (RADIUS, AD, TACACS+), the assigned IP address will be drawn from the address pool of the LAN specified here.

V-1-5 SSL General Setup

SSL VPN (Secure Sockets Layer virtual private network) is a form of VPN that encrypts traffic using SSL, which is the same technology used on secured websites. Because of SSL's prominence as an encryption protocol on the Internet, most networks have few restrictions on SSL traffic, and as a result SSL VPN is more likely to work when other VPN technologies experience difficulties due to obstacles such as firewalls and Network Address Translation (NAT).

In short,

  • It is not necessary for users to preinstall VPN client software for executing SSL VPN connection.
  • There are less restrictions for the data encrypted through SSL VPN in comparing with traditional VPN.

This page determines the general configuration for SSL VPN Server and SSL Tunnel.

V-1-6 IPsec General Setup

In IPsec General Setup, there are two major parts of configuration.

There are two phases of IPsec.

  • Phase 1: negotiation of IKE parameters including encryption, hash, Diffie-Hellman parameter values, and lifetime to protect the following IKE exchange, authentication of both peers using either a Pre-Shared Key or Digital Signature (x.509). The peer that starts the negotiation proposes all its policies to the remote peer and then remote peer tries to find a highest-priority match with its policies. Eventually to set up a secure tunnel for IKE Phase 2.
  • Phase 2: negotiation IPsec security methods including Authentication Header (AH) or Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) for the following IKE exchange and mutual examination of the secure tunnel establishment.

There are two encapsulation methods used in IPsec, Transport and Tunnel. The Transport mode will add the AH/ ESP payload and use original IP header to encapsulate the data payload only. It can just apply to local packet, e.g., L2TP over IPsec. The Tunnel mode will not only add the AH/ ESP payload but also use a new IP header (Tunneled IP header) to encapsulate the whole original IP packet.

AH (Authentication Header) provides data authentication and integrity for IP packets passed between VPN peers. This is achieved by a keyed one-way hash function to the packet to create a message digest. This digest will be put in the AH and transmitted along with packets. On the receiving side, the peer will perform the same one-way hash on the packet and compare the value with the one in the AH it receives.

ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) is a security protocol that provides data confidentiality and protection with optional authentication and replay detection service.

Item Description
IKE Authentication MethodThis usually applies to those are remote dial-in user or node (LAN-to-LAN) which uses dynamic IP address and IPsec-related VPN connections such as L2TP over IPsec and IPsec tunnel. There are two methods offered by Vigor router for you to authenticate the incoming data coming from remote dial-in user, Certificate (X.509) and Pre-Shared Key.Certificate - X.509 certificates can be used for IKE authentication. To set up certificates on the router, go to the Certificate Management section.Preferred Local ID - Specify the preferred local ID information (Alternative Subject Name First or Subject Name First) for IPsec authentication while the client is using the general setting (without a specific Peer IP or ID in the VPN profile).General Pre-Shared Key- Define the PSK key for general authentication.Confirm General Pre-Shared Key- Re-enter the characters to confirm the pre-shared key.XAuth User Pre-Shared Key - Define the PSK key for IPsec XAuth authentication.Confirm XAuth User Pre-Shared Key- Re-enter the characters to confirm the pre-shared key for IPsec XAuthauthentication.Note: Any packets from the remote dial-in user which does not match the rule defined in VPN and Remote Access>>Remote Dial-In User will be applied with the method specified here.
IPsec Security MethodAvailable methods include Basic, Medium and High. Each method offers different encryption, HMAC and DH Group.Basic - Authentication Header (AH) means data will be authenticated, but not be encrypted. By default, this option is active.Medium - When this option is selected, the Authentication Header (AH) protocol can be used to provide authentication to IPsec traffic.High - When this option is selected, the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol can be used to provide authentication and encryption to IPsec traffic. Three encryption standards are supported for ESP: DES, 3DES and AES, in ascending order of security.
VPN TCP maximum segment size (MSS)Set the maximum segment size (MSS) for different VPN types. Please specify the MSS values for each type to avoid packets cut by MTU during the data transmission period via the IPsec VPN connection.

V-1-9 OpenVPN

The OpenVPN protocol utilizes public keys, certificates, and usernames and passwords to authenticate the client. Traffic is carried over secure channels built upon industry-standard SSL/ TLS encryption protocols.

With integrating of OpenVPN, Vigor router can help users to achieve more robust, reliable and secure private connections for business needs.

OpenVPN offers a convenient way for users to build a VPN between the local end and the remote end. There are two advantages of OpenVPN:

  • It can be operated on different systems such as Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
  • Based on the standard protocol of SSL encryption, OpenVPN can provide you with a scalable client/server mode, permitting multi-client to connect to a single OpenVPN Server process over a single TCP or UDP port.

In terms of credentials, the administrator can choose to let the router generate the certificates, or import certificates issued by third-party certificate authorities (CAs). When the router generates the certificates, it acts as the root CA to issue the trusted CA certificates (stored under Certificate Management >> Trusted CA Certificate), which are used to generate the server and client certificates used by OpenVPN (stored under Certificate Management >> Local Certificate). If, however, a certificate issued by a third-party CA is used, both the CA's certificate and the issued certificate need to be imported to the router in the Trusted CA Certificate and Local Certificate sections, respectively.

V-1-9-1 OpenVPN Server Setup

OpenVPN requires the use of certificates. Before establishing OpenVPN connection, general settings for OpenVPN service shall be configured first.

V-1-12 VPN Trunk Management

A VPN Trunk combines TWO LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnels to provide VPN Backup or VPN Load Balance functionalities.

VPN Backup

VPN Backup provides redundant, uninterrupted VPN connectivity by constantly monitoring the health of a VPN tunnel, and fails over to the secondary VPN tunnel when the primary tunnel fails.

In a Backup VPN Trunk, only one of the two LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnels is connected at any given time. When one tunnel fails, the router will automatically start up and direct all VPN traffic destined for the trunk to the other tunnel.

VPN Load Balance

VPN Load Balance increases the bandwidth of a LAN-to-LAN connection by combining and load balancing two tunnels, with the option to direct traffic to specific tunnels by originating address, destination address or port.

In a Load Balance VPN Trunk, both LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnels are simultaneously connected. The router first attempts to match the traffic to a load balance policy rule and send it down the tunnel specified in the matching rule. Traffic not matched to any policy will be load balanced in a round-robin fashion, and the traffic ratio between the two tunnels is either determined automatically by the router or specified by the user.

In order to set up a VPN Trunk, 2 LAN-to-LAN VPN profiles must have been configured first. For details on the configuration of LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnels, see section V-1-10 LAN to LAN. When the 2 LAN-to-LAN VPN profiles are ready, follow the steps below to set up a VPN Trunk.

V-2 Certificate Management

A digital certificate is an electronic document issued by a certification authority (CA) to an entity to prove ownership of a public key. It contains identifying information including the issued-to-party's name, a serial number, expiration dates etc., and the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority so that a recipient can verify that the certificate is real. Vigor router supports digital certificates that conform to the X.509 standard.

In this section, you can generate and manage local digital certificates, and import trusted CA certificates. Be sure that the system time is correct on the router so that certificates will not be erroneously considered to be invalid because of an incorrect system time falling outside of the certificate's valid time period. The easiest way to accomplish this is by periodically synchronizing the system time to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

V-2-2 Trusted CA Certificate

The user can build RootCA certificates (up to three) if required.

When the local client and remote client are required to make certificate authentication (e.g., IPsec X.509) for data passing through SSL tunnel and avoiding the attack of MITM, a trusted root certificate authority (Root CA) will be used to authenticate the digital certificates offered by both ends.

However, the procedure of applying digital certificate from a trusted root certificate authority is complicated and time-consuming. Therefore, Vigor router offers a mechanism which allows you to generate root CA to save time and provide convenience for general user. Later, such root CA generated by DrayTek server can perform the issuing of local certificate.

V-2-4 Self-Signed Certificate

A self-signed certificate is a unique identification for the device (e.g., Vigor router) which generates the certificate by itself to ensure the router security. Such self-signed certificate is signed with its own private key.

The self-signed certificate will be applied in SSL VPN, HTTPS, and so on. In addition, it can be created for free by using a wide variety of tools.

Part VI Security

Draytek Vigor 2927ac - Part VI Security - 1
Firewall
While the broadband users demand more bandwidth for multimedia, interactive applications, or distance learning, security has been always the most concerned. The firewall of the Vigor router helps to protect your local network against attack from unauthorized outsiders. It also restricts users in the local network from accessing the Internet.

Draytek Vigor 2927ac - Part VI Security - 2
CSM

CSM is an abbreviation of Central Security Management which is used to control IM/ P2P usage, filter the web content and URL content to reach a goal of security management.

VI-1 Firewall

Basic

A network firewall monitors traffic travelling between networks, with the ability to selectively allow or block traffic using a predefined set of security rules. This helps to maintain the integrity of networks by stopping unauthorized access and the exchange of sensitive information.

Firewall Facilities

LAN users are provided with secured protection by the following firewall facilities:

  • User-configurable IP filter (Data Filter).
    ● Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI): tracks packets and denies unsolicited incoming data
  • Selectable Denial of Service (DoS) / Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks protection

Data Filter

All traffic, both incoming and outgoing, that does not trigger a PPP connection attempt (either because a PPP connection is not necessary, or the required PPP connection has already been established) is checked against the Data Filter, and will be allowed or blocked according to the rules configured within.

The following flowcharts show how the router treats incoming traffic and outgoing traffic respectively.

Draytek Vigor 2927ac - Data Filter - 1

flowchart
graph TD
    A["Send packet to LAN"] -->|pass| B["Data Filter"]
    B -->|block| C["Drop packet"]
    C --> D["LAN Link"]
    D --> E["Incoming Traffic"]

Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)

Stateful inspection is a firewall architecture that works at the network layer. Unlike legacy static packet filtering, which examines a packet based on the information in its header, stateful inspection builds up a state machine to track each connection traversing all interfaces of the firewall and makes sure they are valid. The stateful firewall of Vigor router not only examines the header information also monitors the state of the connection.

Denial of Service (DoS) Defense

DoS attacks are categorized into two types: flooding-type attacks and vulnerability attacks. Flooding-type attacks attempts to exhaust system resources while vulnerability attacks attempts to paralyze the system by exploiting vulnerabilities of protocols or operation systems.

Vigor's DoS Defense functionality detects DoS attacks and mitigates their damage by inspecting every incoming packet, and malicious packets will be blocked. If Syslog is enabled, alert messages will also be sent. Abnormal traffic flow such as flood and port scan attacks that exceed allowable thresholds are also blocked.

The below shows the attack types that DoS/ DDoS defense function can detect:

  1. SYN flood attack
  2. UDP flood attack
  3. ICMP flood attack
  4. Port Scan attack
  5. IP options
  6. Land attack
  7. Smurf attack
  8. Trace route
  9. SYN fragment
  10. Fraggle attack
  11. TCP flag scan
  12. Tear drop attack
  13. Ping of Death attack
  14. ICMP fragment
  15. Unassigned Numbers

Always pass inboundfragmented large packetsCertain games and video streaming service use fragmented UDP packets to transfer data. Enabling this option allows these applications to function properly.If this option is not enabled, the router will attempt to reassemble fragmented packets up to a certain value (e.g., 15xx~2102) kilobytes long. Packets larger than the certain value will be discarded.If this option is enabled, the router always passes fragmented packets without reassembling them, regardless of the size of the packet.
Enable Strict Security FirewallIf this option and the Web Content Filter (WCF) are both enabled, web traffic will be blocked if the WCF server fails to respond to lookup requests.
Block routing connections initiated from WANIPv6 - IPv6 does not make use of Network Address Translation (NAT), so all LAN hosts receive public IPv6 IP addresses that are exposed to the WAN. Enable this option to block WAN hosts from connecting to LAN hosts using IPv6.IPv4 - For LAN hosts receiving WAN IPv4 addresses using the IP routed subnet, enable this option to prevent WAN hosts from connecting to LAN hosts. This option has no effect on LAN hosts on private LAN subnets.

    60M Bandwidth: 5,000 (packets/sec)
    100M Bandwidth: 8.000 (packets/sec)
    300M Bandwidth: 25,000 (packets/sec)
  2. Packets that have been accelerated by Hardware Acceleration will not be checked by the DoS Defense function.

Available settings are explained as follows:

Item Description
Enable Dos DefenseSelect to enable DoS Defense.Select All - Click to select all DoS Defense options.White/Black List Option - Set white/ black list of IPv4/ IPv6 address.
Enable SYN flood defenseSelect to enable SYN flood defense. When the arrival rate of SYN packets exceeds the Threshold value, the router will start to randomly discard TCP SYN packets for a period of time as defined in Timeout. This is to prevent TCP SYN packets from exhausting router resources.The default values of threshold and timeout are 2000 packets per second and 10 seconds, respectively.
Enable UDP flood defenseSelect to enable UDP flood defense. When the arrival rate of UDP packets exceeds the Threshold value, the router will start to randomly discard TCP SYN packets for a period of time as defined in Timeout.The default values of threshold and timeout are 2000 packets per second and 10 seconds, respectively.
Enable ICMP flood defenseSelect to enable ICMP flood defense. When the arrival rate of ICMP packets exceeds the Threshold value, the router will start to randomly discard TCP SYN packets for a period of time as defined in Timeout.The default values of threshold and timeout are 250 packets per second and 10 seconds, respectively.
Enable Port Scan detectionSelect to enable Port Scan detection. Port Scans attack your network by sending packets to a range of ports in an attempt to find services that would respond. When Port Scan detection is enabled, the router sends warning messages when it detects port scanning activities that exceed the Threshold rate.The default threshold is 2000 packets per second.
Block IP options Select to enable Block IP options. The Vigor router will ignore IP packets with IP option field set in the datagram header. IP options are rarely used and could be abused by attackers as they carry information about the private network otherwise not available to the external network, such as security, TCC (closed user group) parameters, a series of Internet addresses, routing messages, etc, which external eavesdroppers can use to discover details about the private network.
Block LandSelect to Block LAND attacks. LAND attacks happen when an attacker sends spoofed SYN packets with both source and destination addresses set to that of the target system, which causes the target to reply to itself continuously.
Block SmurfSelect to Block Smurf attacks. The router will ignore any broadcasting ICMP echo request.
Block trace routeSelect to Block traceroutes. The router will not forward traceroute packets.
Block SYN fragmentSelect to Block SYN packet fragments. The router will drop any packets having both the SYN and more-fragments bits set.
Block Fraggle AttackSelect to Block Fraggle Attacks. Broadcast UDP packets received from the Internet are blocked.Activating this feature might block some legitimate packets. Since all broadcast UDP packets coming from the Internet are blocked, RIP packets from the Internet could also be dropped.
Block TCP flag scanSelect to Block TCP Flag Scans. TCP packets with abnormal flag settings will be dropped. TCP flag scanning activities that are blocked include no flag scan, FIN without ACK scan, SYN FIN scan, Xmas scan and full Xmas scan.
Block Tear DropSelect to Block Tear Drop attacks. Some clients may crash when they receive ICMP datagrams (packets) that exceedthe maximum length. The router discards any fragmented ICMP packets having lengths greater than 1024 octets.
Block Ping of Death Select toBlock Ping of Death, where fragmented ping packets are sent to target hosts so that those hosts could crash as they reassemble the malformed ping packets.
Block ICMP FragmentSelect to Block ICMP Fragments. ICMP packets with the more-fragments bit set are dropped.
Block Unassigned NumbersSelect to Block Unassigned Protocol Numbers, and the router will block packets having unassigned protocol numbers. Individual IP packet has a protocol field in the datagram header to indicate the protocol type running over the upper layer. However, the protocol types greater than 100 are reserved and undefined at this time. Therefore, the router should have ability to detect and reject this kind of packets.
Warning MessagesWe provide Syslog function for user to retrieve message from Vigor router. The user, as a Syslog Server, shall receive the report sending from Vigor router which is a Syslog Client.All the warning messages related to DoS Defense will be sent to user and user can review it through Syslog daemon. Look for the keyword DoS in the message, followed by a name to indicate what kind of attacks is detected.

VI-2 Central Security Management (CSM)

Content Security Management (CSM) allows the network administrator to restrict Internet traffic based on the content type, thus ensuring appropriate use of network resources and also reducing the likelihood of threats from malicious network content.

APP Enforcement Filter

The APP Enforcement Filter can be used to prevent users from using undesirable or inappropriate network applications such as online chat and peer-to-peer programs. The filter works by detecting and blocking network traffic of applications by means of traffic patterns.

URL Content Filter

The URL Content Filter scans URL strings in HTTP requests for predefined keywords to restrict browsing activities.

Web Content Filter

Users can also be prevented from browsing certain types of websites by using the Web Content Filter. This filter classifies website domain names into different categories, which can be selectively blocked.

Filter profiles must first be created before these CSM Filters can be enabled. Once profiles have been configured, they can be applied to the Default Rule under Firewall>>General Setup, or Filter Rules in Filter Sets under Firewall>>Filter Setup.

When the default value auto-selected is used, the server is determined automatically by looking up the geolocation of the WAN IP address.It is recommended that the default setting auto-selected be used.
CacheNone - The router verifies every HTTP URL requested by communicating with the WCF server on the Internet. This mode provides the most precise URL matching but has the lowest performance.L1 - The router caches the HTTP URLs that have been checked against the WCF server. URLs will be looked up in the L1 cache before reaching out to the WCF server. When the cache is full, the oldest entry will be deleted to accommodate new URLs.L2 - After a URL has been checked and found to pass WCF, the source and destination IPs are cached for about 1 second in the L2 cache. This is to allow a webpage to be loaded without further verifying the same URLs against the L1 cache or the WCF server.L1+L2 Cache - The router will utilize both L1 and L2 caches.

VI-2-5 DNS Filter Profile

DNS Filter blocks or allows traffic to the WAN by intercepting DNS queries, and applying UCF and WCF rules to hostnames. DNS filtering is especially useful when you wish to restrict access of protocols other than HTTP, such as HTTPS. Note that a WCF license must have already been activated before WCF rules could be used.

To configure DNS Filter Profiles, select CSM >> Web Content Filter Profile from the main menu.
