C HAPTER 10 WAN 10.1 Overview This chapter discusses the NBG6716’s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your NBG6716 for Internet access. A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, so that a computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations. Figure 48 LAN and WAN 10.
Chapter 10 WAN 10.3.1 Configuring Your Internet Connection Encapsulation Method Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Chapter 10 WAN Multicast Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1. Figure 49 Multicast Example In the multicast example above, systems A and D comprise one multicast group. In multicasting, the server only needs to send one data stream and this is delivered to systems A and D.

C HAPTER 14 NAT 14.1 Overview NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. For example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network is changed to a different IP address known within another network. The figure below is a simple illustration of a NAT network.
Chapter 14 NAT • Use the Port Forwarding screen to set a default server and change your NBG6716’s port forwarding settings to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network (Section 14.3 on page 130). • Use the Port Trigger screen to change your NBG6716’s trigger port settings (Section 14.5.3 on page 135). 14.1.2 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Chapter 14 NAT network and make them accessible to the outside world. If you do not define any servers , NAT offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. With no servers defined, your NBG6716 filters out all incoming inquiries, thus preventing intruders from probing your network. For more information on IP address translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT). How NAT Works Each packet has two addresses – a source address and a destination address.
Chapter 14 NAT The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 50 Network > NAT > General LABEL DESCRIPTION Network Address Translation (NAT) Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet). Select Enable to activate NAT. Select Disable to turn it off.
Chapter 14 NAT Figure 80 Network > NAT > Port Forwarding The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 51 Network > NAT > Port Forwarding LABEL DESCRIPTION Default Server Setup Default Server In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server.

Chapter 14 NAT 14.5 Technical Reference The following section contains additional technical information about the NBG6716 features described in this chapter. 14.5.1 NATPort Forwarding: Services and Port Numbers A port forwarding set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world.
Chapter 14 NAT 14.5.3 Trigger Port Forwarding Some services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on the server side. With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service (coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN). The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address.
Chapter 14 NAT 14.5.5 Two Points To Remember About Trigger Ports 136 1 Trigger events only happen on data that is coming from inside the NBG6716 and going to the outside. 2 If an application needs a continuous data stream, that port (range) will be tied up so that another computer on the LAN can’t trigger it.

C HAPTER 17 Firewall 17.1 Overview Use these screens to enable and configure the firewall that protects your NBG6716 and your LAN from unwanted or malicious traffic. Enable the firewall to protect your LAN computers from attacks by hackers on the Internet and control access between the LAN and WAN. By default the firewall: • allows traffic that originates from your LAN computers to go to all of the networks. • blocks traffic that originates on the other networks from going to the LAN.
Chapter 17 Firewall What is a Firewall? Originally, the term “firewall” referred to a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of fire from one room to another. The networking term "firewall" is a system or group of systems that enforces an access-control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism used to protect a trusted network from a network that is not trusted. Of course, firewalls cannot solve every security problem.
Chapter 17 Firewall 4 Don't enable any local service (such as NTP) that you don't use. Any enabled service could present a potential security risk. A determined hacker might be able to find creative ways to misuse the enabled services to access the firewall or the network. 5 For local services that are enabled, protect against misuse. Protect by configuring the services to communicate only with specific peers, and protect by configuring rules to block packets for the services at specific interfaces.
