Chapter 1 Understanding ISDN and the Express L128/L128T ISDN OVERVIEW The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a public or private switched digital network. ISDN is an international standard for digital communications, allowing a full range of enhanced services supporting voice, data, and image applications through standard interfaces over a single telephone wire.
Chapter 1: Understanding ISDN and the Express L128/L128T Applications Single User to Corporate LAN • • • • • Telecommuter/Home Office Access to the corporate LAN Single device access User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts are “relayed” to corporate LAN. Client device can obtain the Internet Protocol (IP) address dynamically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Chapter 1: Understanding ISDN and the Express L128/L128T Single User IP to Internet Service Provider (ISP) using Network Address Translation (NAT) • • Provides high speed home access to the Internet NAT provides translation from user assigned IP addresses to ISP assigned IP addresses. The PC’s IP address can be dynamically assigned by the Express L128/ L128T.
Chapter 1: Understanding ISDN and the Express L128/L128T Multiple Users to Internet Service Provider (ISP) using NAT • • • • • • Provides high speed home access to the Internet Multiple and simultaneous access The PC’s IP address can by dynamically assigned by the Express L128/ L128T. On-demand Internet access Multilink PPP plus compression yields effective throughput greater than 256 kbps.
Chapter 1: Understanding ISDN and the Express L128/L128T Small Office - Home Office (SOHO) to Corporate LAN • • • • • • Connects the small office or home office to the corporate LAN Routes IP and Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) traffic from multiple devices to the corporate LAN Bridges all non-routed traffic (e.g.
Chapter 1: Understanding ISDN and the Express L128/L128T 2. IP Router: The Express L128/L128T can function as an IP router using the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for advertising and learning routes among other routers. Static routes may also be entered into the routing table. 3. IPX Router: IPX routers and services can be exchanged between the Express L128/L128T and other devices using RIP and Service Advertising Protocol (SAP).
Chapter 1: Understanding ISDN and the Express L128/L128T Bridging In Bridge Mode, the Express L128/L128T can communicate with two remote networks at a time. The destination is dialed by setting up a Connection List profile and choosing Dial on the Dial menu. See Configuration/Connection List on page 63 for instructions on setting up a Connection List profile.
Chapter 1: Understanding ISDN and the Express L128/L128T IP Routing The Express L128/L128T operates as a dial-up IP router when the Configuration/IP/IP Router/Mode option is configured to On. The Express L128/L128T uses an IP unnumbered WAN interface; the IP address and mask assigned to the unit’s LAN interface apply to all routing and IP operations for the unit. If a default gateway is specified on the network of the Ethernet interface, the unit attempts to reach the gateway through that interface.
Chapter 1: Understanding ISDN and the Express L128/L128T IPX Routing Like IP routing, the Express L128/L128T can connect to two different sites and exchange IPX packets. Network routes and services are learned and advertised using Novell’s RIP and SAP. Routes and services learned from a separate site can be retained in the Express L128/L128T when the connection goes idle.
Chapter 1: Understanding ISDN and the Express L128/L128T Network Address Translation Mode NAT is a special mode of operation in which the Express L128/L128T obtains a dynamically assigned IP address from the peer router (typically an Internet Service Provider). This allows a network of computers to benefit from Ethernet to ISDN speeds while still appearing to the Internet Service Provider (or central site router) as a single IP address, which is typical of PC based serial dial-up solutions.

Appendix C SNMP Understanding SNMP As Local Area Network (LAN) environments became standardized over the past ten years, multi-vendor equipment grew with competition. It became necessary to manage the various vendor equipment from a single control console. Thus, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) emerged as the de facto standard for managing commercial Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networks.
Appendix C: SNMP Using SNMP Version 1, the network manager can issue three types of commands: • GetRequest: This command retrieves a single item or the first in a series from a network device. • GetNextRequest: This command retrieves the next item in a series from a network device. • SetRequest: This command writes information to a network device. The network device issues two types of messages: • GetResponse: This message is the response to a network manager GetRequest or GetNextRequest command.
Appendix C: SNMP Communities The Express L128/L128T permits up to eight communities to be defined. The privilege level of each community can be set. The default community is public with read-only privileges. When the IP address is all zeros, any manager of the community can access the Express L128/L128T. Traps Up to four hosts can be set to receive traps. Each host entry requires an IP address of the manager. 61202.

Appendix F Frame Relay Firmware Version The L128/L128T can be used with Frame Relay if you obtain the appropriate firmware by calling ADTRAN Technical Support at the number listed in the back of this manual. Configuration/Frame Relay Figure F-01 shows the Configuration/Frame Relay menu that appears when using this firmware. The additional menu choices available with this option are described following the figure. Figure F-01 Configuration/Frame Relay Screen 61202.
Appendix F: Frame Relay Firmware Version Frame Relay/Maintenance Protocol Write security: 3, Read security: 5 The Frame Relay maintenance protocol is used on the WAN port. The maintenance protocol is used to send link status and virtual circuit information between Frame Relay switches and other devices (such as routers) that communicate with them. Possible choices are listed below. Annex D (def) - This is an ANSI standard and is the most commonly used standard in the US.
Appendix F: Frame Relay Firmware Version When more than one DLCI mapping is listed, the Express L128/L128T will try to match the DLCIs learned from the Frame Relay switch with the DLCI values in the map. If there is a match, the protocols specified in the map are used. However, if an active DLCI is not in the list it looks for an entry that has 0 in the DLCI field. This entry is considered the default entry to use when no match occurs.
Appendix F: Frame Relay Firmware Version IP Map/IARP Write security: 3, Read security: 5 When this is set to Yes (def), the Express L128/L128T will send Inverse ARP packets in order to determine the IP address on the other end of the virtual circuit. If the IARP is responded to, a route is placed in the IP route table. A setting of No means that the route address is to be assigned statically using the IP Map/Far-End IP Address parameter. The Express L128/L128T will always respond to Inverse ARP requests.
Appendix F: Frame Relay Firmware Version IP Map/RIP Method Write security: 3, Read security: 5 The way the RIP protocol sends out its advertisements is specified here: None - All routes in the router table are advertised out this virtual circuit with no modification of the metrics. Split Horizon (def) - Only routes not learned from this particular virtual circuit are advertised. Poison Reverse - All routes are advertised, but the routes learned from this port are “poisoned” with an infinite metric.
Appendix F: Frame Relay Firmware Version IPX Map/IARP Write security: 3, Read security: 5 When this is set to Yes (def), the Express L128/L128T will send Inverse ARP packets to determine the IPX network on the other end of the virtual circuit. If the IARP is responded to, a route is placed in the IPX route table. A setting of No means that the IPX network is to be assigned to the link statically using the IPX Map/Link Network parameter. The Express L128/L128T will always respond to Inverse ARP requests.
Appendix F: Frame Relay Firmware Version DLCI Mapping/Filters The Express L128/L128T can block packets in and out of a PVC port by use of the filters. They are set up in two steps: 1) define the types of packets that would be of interest in the Configuration/Security/Filter Defines menu, and 2) set up the filter type and combination of defines that will cause a packet block.
Appendix F: Frame Relay Firmware Version Next Oper - The next operation to use to combine with the next filter in the list: END - the last filter to combination. AND - logically AND this filter with the next filter in the list. OR - logically OR this filter with the next filter in the list. Filters/Out to PVC Write security: 2; Read security: 5 The packets which transmit out this PVC from the Express L128/L128T can be filtered in three ways: Disabled (def) - Turns off packet output filtering.
Appendix F: Frame Relay Firmware Version Status/Sessions Figure F-02 shows the Status/Sessions menu that appears when using the Frame Relay firmware. The additional menu choices available with this option are described following the figure. Figure F-02 Status/Sessions Screen (with Frame Relay) Sessions/PPP Session Read security: 5 This menu reflects the results of PPP negotiations, user name, time connected, and data rates for the session.
Appendix F: Frame Relay Firmware Version IPXCP - Shows UP if PPP IPX Control Protocol has negotiated successfully User - Displays the user name of the PPP peer Number(s) - Shows the phone number dialed if outgoing call or caller ID if incoming call. Connect Time - Shows the date and time when the call last connected. Up Time - Displays how long the call has been connected.
Appendix F: Frame Relay Firmware Version Rx Frames - Number of Frame Relay packets that have been received via this DLCI. Tx Bytes - Number of Frame Relay bytes that have been transmitted via this DLCI. Rx Bytes - Number of Frame Relay bytes that have been received via this DLCI. IP SubIfc - The IP router port assigned for this DLCI. Possible ports are fr0, fr1, … , fr9. None means that this DLCI not used for routing IP. IPX SubIfc - The IPX router port assigned for this DLCI.
