APPLICATION

The Teltronix B1 router provides basic routing and firewall services between two local area networks and a 2Mb/s leased line. The unit is ideal for connecting to an Internet Service Provider via a 2Mb/s leased line.

INSTALLING THE UNIT

1. Check package contents, there should be :-

a. One B1 router

b. One power cable

c. Two BNC leads

d. One RJ45 LAN lead

e. One RJ11 to D15 console port lead

f. One printed manual

g.One quick start sheet.

2. Connect the "TX" and "RX" ports of the unit to the leased line NTU.

3. Connect the "LAN1" port to the public or "DMZ" network. The public network will have devices on it which are meant to be reachable from the internet.

4. Connect the "LAN2" port to the private network. The private networkwill have devices on it which are not meant to be reachable from the internet, but are able to access internet resources like email and web servers.

5. Connect the supplied management cable to the management port of the unit and the serial port of a P.C. or terminal. The serial port settings are 9600baud,no parity,8 data bits,1 stop bit.

6. Connect mains power to the unit using the supplied mains cable.

7. Start the terminal program on the PC. Press return a few times, you should see the prompt:-

B1:B1:Enter Admin Password:

8. The default password is "password".


Example terminal session to configure the unit.

In this example, the IP addresses of the two LAN ports are changed via the console port so that the remainder of the config can be done via telnet or web browser.

B1:B1:Enter Admin Password:password

Format of fields in terminal or telnet session.

Configuration fields are always presented as

"Field name or description" ": colon" "current value" ": colon" "space for new value"

e.g. LAN2:IP Address:10.100.0.1:10.100.1.122

Here LAN2 IP Address has been changed from value 10.100.0.1 to 10.100.1.122. Responding to a field by just pressing return will cause the current field value to be used. Responding with an invalid value will cause the question to be asked again.


Terminal and Telnet configuration

The unit can be configured by serial terminal or telnet session. Terminal configuration is described on pages 5 and 6.

Telnet configuration

Once the unit has been configured with an IP address a telnet session can be started by telneting to the unit's ip address.

e.g. If the unit's IP address is 10.100.1.121, the windows run command (Click on Start then Run) "Telnet 10.100.1.121" will open a telnet session to the unit. The default admin password is "password"

Configuration prompts

Once the correct admin password has been given, the unit will reply with a prompt to indicate the mode. The prompt is in the form

"unit name" "prompt character"

The prompt characters are:-

>(Greater than sign) for MAIN MENU

#(Hash sign) for CONFIG MENU

$(Dollar sign) for MAINTENANCE MENU

e.g.

B1> In main menu

B1# In config menu

B1$ In maintenance menu


>Main menu commands

Extra IP Addresses and Masks

Extra IP addresses and masks give the unit the ability to create more than one logical IP network on a LAN segment. Upto four additional IP addresses or logical networks can be configured. Simply enter the additional IP addresses and masks. There are two special cases:-

1. A mask of 255.255.255.255 can be used to give the unit an extra IP address in the main network address range.

2. A mask of 0.0.0.0 will cause the unit to proxy arp for the associated IP address.

In the example shown on page 18, LAN1 has an IP address of 212.135.199.155 and is providing proxy arp service for addresses 212.135.199.154 and 212.135.199.153.


Sync Port Configuration Page

The sync port configuration page configures framing, clocking and PPP parameters on the G703 port.

G703-Slave Unstructured data, slave clocking

G703-Master Unstructured data, master clocking

G704-Slave Structured data, slave clocking

G704-Master Structured data, master clocking

On any link, the device at one end should be set to clock master while the device at the other end should be set to clock slave. In G703 frames are sent without any framing structure. In G704 the channel is divided into 32 timeslots. One timeslot is used for framing. The remaining 31 timeslots can cary data. G.704 allows the bandwidth to be set from 64kb/s upto 1.984 Mb/s. G.704 also allows constant monitoring of the line's quality of service.

Routing Table Page

The routing table shows which port will be used to send out a packet for any given IP address.Click on the associated edit link to edit or delete a route. Click on the add route link to add a route.


Viewable Routing Table Fields

Network

The network address of a destination network or IP address of a host.

Mask

The network mask or subnet mask associated with the network address. Use 255.255.255.255 for a host route.

Gateway

The IP address of the next hop to the destination network.

Metric

The number of hops to the destination. If in doubt, set this value to 1.

Port

The port packets to the associated route should leave on.

Remote

The name of the remote device or VPN user. For VPN routes, the name is setup in the VPN configuration.

Flags

Flags show the state of the route.

A Activated (The route was activated by a port going to the "UP" state

D Dynamic (Route was learnt from another router)

M Monitored (Route is monitored by ping requests allowing backup routes)

S Static (Route is a pre-configured route)

U Up (Route is usable)

V Valid

Packets

The number of packets sent to that route.

Owner

The owner of the port.

System The system owns the route.

User The user owns the route.

Type

The type of route

Demand Port The route is added when the port goes to the "UP" state.

Permanent Port The route is always active.


Very Simple Routing Policy

Software version b1app.bin 1.70 onwards supports Very Simple Routing Policy. This feature allows backup routes to the same destination (often the default route) to be setup. The router will automatically start using the backup route if the primary route fails. See details on the "Check Route" field.


Editable Routing table fields

Network

The network address of a destination network or IP address of a host.

Mask

The network mask or subnet mask associated with the network address. Use 255.255.255.255 for a host route.

Gateway

The IP address of the next hop to the destination network.

Metric

The number of hops to the destination. If in doubt, set this value to 1.

Port

The port packets to the associated route should leave on.

Check Route

If set to yes, the router will ping the Check Address every few minutes. If no reply is received, the metric of the route is increased by two. After 8 consecutive failures the route is declared as DOWN. This allows backup routes to be setup. Set the metric of the primary route to 1, set the metric of the backup route to 7. If the primary route fails, the relative order of the primary and secondary routes will be swapped. A typical application of this would be to have internet connections to two different ISP connections (e.g. ADSL or Leased line and ISDN backup).

DO NOT ENABLE CHECK ROUTE on a backup route, e.g. To an ISDN router, as this would cause the ISDN line to be kept up permanently.

Check Address

This is the address the router will ping to see if a route is working.


NAT Configuration Pages

There is one NAT configuration page per router port. All three pages work identically.

By performing NAT translation at port level it is possible run three simultaneous NAT schemes. This is extremly usefull in situations where disparate networks are being linked.


NAT Configuration Fields

Enable NAT

Enables NAT translation of the associated port. NAT should be enabled on the port "closest" to the internet or "closest" to the network where the public address is valid and the private address is not valid.

Address Mode

Fixed addressing uses the specified public IP address as the public address.

Dynamic addressing allows the IP address allocated via IPCP or DHCP to be used as the public address.

Manual public IP address

The address that will be used to replace the private address in outgoing packets. If NAT is being used for internet access, this address should be a valid internet address that has been supplied by your I.S.P.

Private IP network address

The network address of the private network. e.g. 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x or 192.168.x.x

Private IP mask

The IP mask of the private network. The router uses the private IP network address and mask to decide which packets should be subject to NAT translation.


DHCP Configuration Pages

There is one DHCP server configuration page per LAN port. Both pages work identically. The DHCP servers work independantly, the server on LAN1 will not respond to requests on LAN2.


DHCP Configuration Fields

Enable DHCP server

This field enables or disables the DHCP server. The DHCP1 server only serves LAN port1. The DHCP2 server only serves LAN port 2.

Enable Multiple servers

Always set this field to NO.

Start IP address

The first IP address in the pool of addresses to be leased out by the server.

No of IP addresses

The number of consecutive IP addresses in the pool.

IP mask

The IP mask to be issued by the server.

Additional router 1

The address of an additional router to be issued to DHCP clients.

Additional router 2

The address of an additional router to be issued to DHCP clients.

Local domain name

The name of the local domain (if any). If you don't have a local domain (e.g. aneaxmpleco.com)

leave this field blank.

DNS Server 1

Address of a local or an ISP's DNS server.

DNS Server 2

Address of a local or an ISP's DNS server.

NBNS Server 1

Address of a local Netbios Name Server or WINS server. Windows NT includes a WINS server.

NBNS Server 2

Address of a local Netbios Name Server or WINS server. Windows NT includes a WINS server.


Firewall Configuration Page

Each port on a B1 router has it's own firewall allowing different levels of filtering between the private network, the demilitarised zone and the internet. The port firewalls have two parts :-

A. Protocol Filter

The protocol filter allows any IP protocol to be blocked or unblocked. In a typical SME network only ICMP,UDP and TCP protocols might be desired.

B. Port Filter.

The port filter allows any service assocaited with a TCP or UDP port to be blocked or unblocked. Services include POP3 (Email reading), SMTP (Email sending), HTTP (Web

browsing) and HTTPS (Secure web browsing).

A global IP deny table allows certain address ranges to be blocked for all ports.


Firewall Configuration Fields

Protocol Filters

The protocol filter can be set for each port. There are three protocol filters :-

OFF No protocol filtering

BASIC Short list of protocols

ADVANCED Long list of protocols

Port Filters

The port filter can be set for each port.There are four protocol filters :-

OFF No port filtering

PRIVATE Port filtering for a private network

PUBLIC-DMZ Port filtering for a public/dmz network.

INTERNET Port filtering for the internet connection.

Typically the private port filter will only allow outgoing requests to the HTTP (web browsing) port, but the INTERNET and DMZ filters will allow outgoing and incoming requests to the HTTP port.

If LAN ports 1and 2 are both connected to private networks, the firewall should be set to the private filter on both LAN ports.

Firewall Port Filter Table Page

The private, public DMZ and internet port filter pages all work identically. Click on the associated edit link to edit or delete a port filter. Click on the add port link to add a new port filter. Any port not listed in the table is blocked.


Firewall Port Filter Fields

Service Name

The text name of the service.

Port Number

The port number from the assigned numbers RFC (RFC1700).

Allow Clients

If set to yes,packets from service clients (e.g. Web browser) will be allowed through the associated physical port.e.g. A workstation with web browser is connected to the associated physical port.

Allow Servers

If set set to yes, packets from service servers (e.g. Web server) will be allowed through the associated physical port. e.g. A web server is connected to the associated physical port.

Allow TCP

If set to yes, TCP packets using the associated port number are allowed through the filter.

Allow UDP

If set to yes, UDP packets using the associated port number are allowed through the filer.

Client IP net and mask

The client IP net and mask setup an address range of allowed client IP addresses. To allow any addresses through use 0.0.0.0 in both fields.

Server IP net and mask

The server IP net and mask setup an address range of allowed server IP addresses. To allow any addresses through use 0.0.0.0 in both fields.

Pass Count

The number of packets allowed through the filter. Note that the same filter table can be used by more than one physical port.

Block Count

The number of packets blocked by the filter. Note that the same filter table can be used by more than one physical port.

Note that is is possible to have a none zero block count AND passcount. The reasons are:-

a. A server or client is on the "wrong side" of the port.

b.UDP or TCP mismatch.

c.Address range mismatch.

d.Statefull inspection session rules violation - only a client can open a session.

e. Session expired.

f. Too many attempts to open a session (SYN attack)

VPN & Remote Stations Tables

The VPN & Remote Station Table allows VPN clients to be configured. To edit or delete a client, click on the associated edit link. To add a new client click on theadd remote link. Note the SYNC-PEER remote client cannot be deleted because it is reserved by the system and holds the configuration for the PPP link on the sync port.


Remote Table Entry Fields

Remote name

The name used to identify the remote station. This should usually be set to the same name as set in the Rx username field.

Connection type

The type of connection used :-

Physical Port The remote is connected directly to one of the router's ports

PPTP Fixed IP VPN link using the PPTP protocol, and pre-configured IP address.

Rx username

The username that the remote will send to identify itself. Usually this should be set to the same name as set in the Remote name field.

Rx password

The password that the remote will send to identify itselt.

Tx username

The username this router will send to identify itself.

Tx password

The password this router will send to identify itself.

Technical Issues

G703/4 Local Clocking

The B1 supports master or slave clocking on the G703 port. Master Clocking makes the unit use it's own clock for the transmit data port. Slave clocking makes the unit derive the transmit clock from the received clock from the rx data port. When the B1 is in clock master mode, the remote router should be in clock slave mode. Note that on a Megastream(tm) circuit the DATA AND CLOCK are carried end to end.

Loopback clocking

If the transmit port is connected to the receive port to make a test loop, the B1 MUST be configured to clock master mode.

Setting the clock mode

There are four port modes:-

G703Master Unstructured data clock master

G703Slave Unstructured data clock slave

G704Master Structured data clock master

G704Slave Structured data clock slave

The mode can be set via the console commands config and main or via the web browser main configuration page.
