Security 14-23 1. Select Filter Name and enter a descriptive name for the filter . 2. T o specify a sour ce network for the filter to match on, select Source Network and enter an IPX network address. 3. T o specify a sour ce node for the filter to match on, select Source Node Addr ess and enter an IPX node address.
14-24 User’ s Reference Guide Follow these steps to configure the new packet filter set: 1. Select Filter Set Name and enter a descriptive name for the filter set.
Security 14-25 3. T o add a filter to the filter set, select Append Filter to display a table of filters. Select a filter from the table and press Retur n to add it to the filter set. The default action of newly added filters is to not for ward packets that match their criteria.
14-26 User’ s Reference Guide Adding a SAP filter T o add a new IPX SAP filter , select Add IPX SAP Filter in the IPX Filters and Filter Sets screen and press Retur n to go to the Add SAP Filter screen. By default, the filter’s socket and type numbers and network and node addresses ar e null (all zeros).
Security 14-27 Deleting a SAP filter T o delete a SAP filter , select Delete IPX SAP filter in the IPX Filters and Filter Sets screen to display a table of filters. Select a filter from the table and pr ess Return to delete it. Pr ess the Escape key to exit the table without deleting the filter .
14-28 User’ s Reference Guide Select a filter and toggle the entr y for war ding action to Ye s (pass) or No (discard). 3. T o add a filter to the filter set, select Append Filter to display a table of filters. Select a filter from the table and press Retur n to add it to the filter set.
Security 14-29 Host : A workstation on the Network. Packet : Unit of communication on the Internet. Packet Filter : Packet filters allow or deny packets based on source or destination IP addr esses, TCP or UDP por ts, or the TCP ACK bit. Por t : A number that defines a par ticular type of ser vice.
14-30 User’ s Reference Guide Fir ewall design rules There ar e two basic r ules to firewall design: ■ “What is not explicitly allowed is denied...” and ■ “What is not explicitly denied is allowed...” The first r ule is far more secur e, and is the best approach to fir ewall design.
Security 14-31 Logical ANDing When a packet is compared (in most cases) a logical AND is per formed. First the IP addr esses and subnet masks are conver ted to binar y and then ANDed together . The r ules for logical ANDing ar e as follows: 0 AND 0 = 0 0 AND 1 = 0 1 AND 0 = 0 1 AND 1 = 1 For example: Filter r ule: Deny IP: 163.
14-32 User’ s Reference Guide Example IP Filter Set Screen This is an example of the Netopia IP filter set screen: Filter Basics In the source or destination IP addr ess fields, the IP address that is enter ed MUST be the NETWORK address of the subnet.
Security 14-33 Example Network Example Filters Example 1 Incoming packet has the source addr ess of 200.1.1.28 This incoming IP packet has a source IP addr ess that matches the network address in the Sour ce IP Address field (00000000) in the Netopia R2020.
14-34 User’ s Reference Guide Example 2 Incoming packet has the source addr ess of 200.1.1.184 This incoming IP packet (10000000) has a source IP addr ess that does not match the network address in the Source IP Addr ess field (00000000) in the Netopia R2020.
Security 14-35 Example 4 Incoming packet has the source addr ess of 200.1.1.104 Since the Source IP Network Addr ess in the Netopia R2020 is 01100000, and the sour ce IP address after the logical AND is 01100000, this r ule DOES match and this packet will NOT be passed.
14-36 User’ s Reference Guide T oken Security Authentication This section discusses how to configure and use security authentication on the Netopia R2020. Note: The security authentication feature only applies to Netopia R2020 models connecting over a dial-up line using the PPP-P AP-TOKEN or PPP-CACHE-TOKEN authentication pr otocol.
Security 14-37 The Netopia R2020 suppor ts the following user configurations for security authentication: ■ Single user , calling a single destination (single session) ■ Single user , calling mul.
14-38 User’ s Reference Guide 2. Select Send Authentication and press Retur n. From the pop-up menu, highlight P AP-TOKEN or CACHE-TOKEN . Y our network administrator or the r emote network administrator will tell you which method to select. If you select P AP-TOKEN, select Send User Name and enter a name for your Netopia R2020.

From the fields that appear , select Enter P ASSCODE and pr ess Retur n. Enter your PIN and the code displayed on your security authentication token card LED.
14-40 User’ s Reference Guide Note: When using CACHE-TOKEN, your passcode is valid for a time inter val deter mined by the network administrator . When this time inter val expir es, you must provide a new passcode for the call negotiation. When using P AP-TOKEN, your passcode is valid for one call negotiation.

Understanding IP Addressing C-3 Subnet masks T o cr eate subnets, the network manager must define a subnet mask, a 32-bit number that indicates which bits in an IP address ar e used for network and subnetwork addresses, and which ar e used for host addresses.
C-4 User’ s Reference Guide Network configuration Below is a diagram of a simple network configuration. The ISP is providing a Class C addr ess to the customer site, and both networks A and B want to gain Internet access thr ough this address. Netopia R2020 B connects to Netopia R2020 A and is provided Inter net access through Routers A and B.
Understanding IP Addressing C-5 Background The IP Addresses and r outing configurations for the devices shown in the diagram are outlined below . In addition, each individual field and its meaning are described.
C-6 User’ s Reference Guide There ar e two schemes for distributing the remaining IP addr esses: ■ Manually give each computer an address ■ Let the Netopia R2020 automatically distribute the add.
Understanding IP Addressing C-7 Configuration This section describes the specific IP address lease, r enew , and release mechanisms for both the Mac and PC, with either DHCP or MacIP address ser ving. DHCP Address Serving Windows 95 Workstation: ■ The Win95 workstation requests and r enews its lease ever y half hour .
C-8 User’ s Reference Guide one hour after the last heard lease r equest as some other DHCP implementations may hold on to the lease for an additional time after the lease expired, to act as a buf fer for variances in clocks between the client and ser ver .
Understanding IP Addressing C-9 In any situation where a device is dialing into a Netopia r outer , the router may need to be configured to ser ve IP via the W AN inter face. This is only a r equirement if the calling device has not been configur ed locally to know what its address(es) ar e.
C-10 User’ s Reference Guide The figure above shows an example of a block of IP addr esses being distributed cor rectly . The example follows these r ules: ■ An IP address must not be used as a static addr ess if it is also in a range of addresses being distributed by DHCP or MacIP .
Understanding IP Addressing C-11 Nested IP subnets Under cer tain situations, you may wish to create r emote subnets from the limited number of IP addr esses issued by your ISP or other authority . Y ou can do this using connection pr ofiles. These subnets can be nested within the range of IP addresses available to your network.
C-12 User’ s Reference Guide Routers B and C (which could also be Netopia R2020s) ser ve the two remote networks that ar e subnets of a.b.c.0. The subnetting is accomplished by configuring the Netopia R2020 with connection profiles for Routers B and C (see the following table).
