What
are the advanced options available for DHCP Server? |
 |
The
DHCP server is using dhcpd more information on advanced settings can
be found at the following here. |
| |
|
 |
Why
does more then one client get the same IP from DHCP server or DHCP
Auth-Auth? |
 |
This
could happen if the DHCP timer is set to high and a change or restart
happens to the DHCP server. Basically the clients get out of sync
with the server and it could take as long as the DHCP timer was set
to get back in sync. In general there is no reason to change the DHCP
timer from default settings. |

How
do I lock a mac address to an IP using IPTABLES?? |
 |
In
this example the the iptables command is saying, only allow traffic
from 10.0.0.66 to MAC address 00:06:FB:45:45:FE
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m mac --mac-source 00:06:FB:45:45:FE -s ! 10.0.0.66
-j DROP
|
| |
|
 |
How
do I use IPTABLES to limit PTP?? |
 |
In
this example you would allow all the traffic that you want on your
network then limit anything that does not match to a max of 25 connections
in effect limiting PtP and anything unknown traffic :
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m layer7 --l7proto ssl -j ACCEPT
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m layer7 --l7proto http -j ACCEPT
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m layer7 --l7proto ssh -j ACCEPT
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m layer7 --l7proto smtp -j ACCEPT
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m layer7 --l7proto pop3 -j ACCEPT
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m layer7 --l7proto ftp -j ACCEPT
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m layer7 --l7proto telnet -j ACCEPT
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m layer7 --l7proto snmp -j ACCEPT
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m layer7 --l7proto dns -j ACCEPT
- iptables
-A FORWARD -p tcp -m connlimit --connlimit-above 25 -j DROP --connlimit-mask
32
|
| |
|
 |
How
can I use IPTABLES under "advanced firewall and port forwarding"?? |
 |
"iptables"
commands can be entered into "advanced firewall and port forwarding"
as and will be passed though to the firewall scripts, examples:
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m ipp2p --ipp2p -j DROP
- iptables
-A FORWARD -p tcp -m connlimit --connlimit-above 25 -j DROP --connlimit-mask
32
- iptables
-A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
A very detail

How
do I setup CBQ to manage a range of IPs with one rule?? |
 |
- assuming
ip range is 192.168.1.110 to 192.168.1.199 (90 ips total)
- limit each
individual user to max of 128k each (upload/download)
- limit all
users combined (aggregated) together to max of 1024k
- Rules would
be:
- bi-pipe
100 bw 1024k 1024k
- qshape
110:199 bw 128k 128k parent 100 192.168.1.110 on $local

VDS
Example Setup and Information: |
 |
- Question:
- Supposing
you have 2 buildings A & B, which is using an AP/Client
link and the IP scheme is as below:
- Building
A (AP) : Ether1 (192.168.0.92/255.255.255.0) - bridge
1
- Building
A (AP) : WPCI1 (no ip) - bridge 1
- Building
B (Client) : Ether1 (no ip) - bridge 1
- Building
B (Client) : WPCI1 (192.168.0.91/255.255.255.0) - bridge
1
- There
are servers and workstations at both buildings A & B using
the same IP addressing scheme (192.168.0.x/24) What type of
config would I put in the VDS dialogues?
- Answer:
- Building
A (AP)
- Ether1
(192.168.0.92/255.255.255.0) - bridge 1
- vds1
(no IP),master,LINK1,password,compression, encryption,
keep alive - bridge 1
- WPCI1
(192.168.255.1/255.255.255.0)
- Building
B (Client)
- WPCI1
(192.168.255.2/255.255.255.0) default route 192.168.255.1
- vds1
(no IP),client,LINK1,password,compression,encryption,keep
alive, master IP 192.168.255.1-bridge 1
- Ether1
(192.168.0.91/255.255.255.0) - bridge 1
- Additional
information:
- Each
VDS virtual device tunnels to another VDS device on another
system. This means you can actually deliver a no hop, flat
address space across a continent of routed backbone. And it
is a true bridge at the MAC Layer 2 level.
- The VDS
is merely a mechanism to form a tunneled ptp link between
two virtual Ethernet devices on machines that can ping each
other. Anything you do with the virtual device at each end
is the same as a real Ethernet. Broadcasts are handled the
same.
- There
is one master per client (point-to-point). Each system can
have up to 20 total vds interfaces.

There
seems to be lots of errors , disconnects and reboots when I set the
power to 26dBm on the RWV, wireless MAC starting with 00:15:6D. Why
is this?? |
 |
This
radio has a build in 10dBm off set where setting to 14dBm, for example,
really puts out 24dBm on the radio. This does NOT effect any radios
with MACs starting with 00:0D:F5 or 00:60:B3. When using the RWV with
radios starting with MAC 00:15:D6 do no put more then 16dBm on the
power settings. |
| |
|
 |
What
are the power settings for the a/b/g card and how do they work? |
 |
- DO
NOT SET THE POWER ABOVE THE MAX RATING OF THE RADIO! This can
cause damage to the card
- The
setting is use to hard code the power output of the radio. The
range is 0dBm to 30dBm but as there are different radio cards
used in the RWV the max value can be different for each radio.
The max value of each radio is listed on the spec sheet, this
value can not be exceeded as at a minimum the radio performance
will drop and at worst case the radio can become damaged after
an extended period of time.
|
| |
|
 |
Why
is the link rate at 1Mb (802.11b) or 6Mb (802.11a/g) when the signal
quality is high? |
 |
- The Atheros
radio establishes the link and then awaits traffic for the reporting.
The first info is just the ACK packets from the link, to see the
real signal rate traffic need to be passed thought the link.
|
| |
|
 |
How
is PPPoE or PPtP Server Setup? |
 |
- PPPoE operates
at layer-2, the interface that accepts pppoe requests need no
IPs assigned (great for security), and must NOT
be in bridge mode.
- The Host
IP is the IP of the gateway interface, your WAN interface.
- The IP range
you are assigning to your customers must be within the range of
the subnet assigned to your WAN interface. For instance, if you
wish to assign your customers IP ranges 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200,
you would use the following configuration:
- ether1
(WAN) has an IP address of 192.168.1.1/24
- wpci1
(LAN) has no IP, is not in bridge mode and has 'listen to
pppoe requests' enabled
- The system's
default gateway is 192.168.1.254
- Under
your pppoe server setup, set it to enabled, and add the IP
range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200
- PPPoE
host IP is 192.168.1.1, same as your WAN interface.
- All
other settings can be modified to your liking, but are not
critical to get it up and running. Now,
when your customers log in, they will receive an IP in the
range provided, or one from your Radius server if supplied.
|
| |
|
 |
What
does FB in front of the speed in the CBQ script do? |
 |
- When
you put fb in front of the speed in the CBQ script, CBQ starts
out at the desired speed. If the user hits the max set speed for
10 seconds sustained CBQ will begin to drop there speed at the
rate of 5% for every 10 seconds that the customer hits the top
set speed. This will penalizes customers download but gives the
customers that are browsing web sites full speed. These customers
see the system respond very fast, but the customer downloading
or uploading sees the speed drop to about 50% after a minute or
so.

How
to setup basic NAT? |
 |
- To setup
and use NAT is pretty simple, and only requires one line under
the advanced NAT script.
- As a
sample system configuration (ether1 being the gateway, wlan1
being used as a LAN interface with a user on it).
- In this
setting, we are going to add the public IP of 64.247.53.10
onto ether1, and a default route of 64.247.53.1, which is
the internet a T1 resides on.
ether1: 64.247.53.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
static route: 0.0.0.0/0 gw 64.247.53.1
- The customers
will be using a private IP of 192.168.2.x which will be Nat'd.
WLAN1: 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
- under
the Nat script, enter this line:
-
masq from 192.168.2.0/24 to dev ether1
- Once
you activate changes, Your clients on the LAN interface should
be able to ping www.yahoo.com etc, and surf regularly.
- On the
client system, make sure they have an IP between 192.168.2.2
and 192.168.2.253, with a gateway of 192.168.2.1. The DNS
entries should be that of your DNS server
|
 |
How
to setup basic DHCP Config? |
 |
- The DHCP
server is configured from the services - > dhcp -> modify
configuration file menu item.
- The DHCP
Server configuration is a text file

 |
How
to setup the RWV in bridge mode? |
 |
-
Logging in: Using a SSH you will be provided with a login prompt.
The default username is "admin" and the default password
is "1234"
-
Setting up the Ethernet cards: Under the Interfaces menu choose
Ether1 then IP Assignments menu. If needed select the default
IP 192.168.1.1 then click the Edit button to change the card
the IP address. The IP you provide will be the address that
the RWV will use to connect to the up-stream network. On the
bottom of this screen change the Ethernet Bridge Number to 1.
-
Setting up the Wireless cards: Under the Wireless menu, select
the wireless card you wish to setup, and then select Config
Current Card. If this wireless card is to be an Access Point
Set the ESSID you wish to use and select Access Point in the
Network Type field. If this wireless card is NOT to be an Access
Point Set the ESSID field to the ESSID of the Access Point that
it will be connecting to and select Infrastructure in the Network
Type field.
-
Continue setting up the Wireless cards: Under the Interfaces
menu choose the wireless interface wish to setup then IP Assignments
menu. On the bottom of this screen change the Ethernet Bridge
Number to 1. Note: in bridge mode only the Ethernet interface
will have an IP not the wireless.
-
Select the File menu and Save Change. Select the File menu and
Activate Changes

 |
Can
not login or ping the RWV, and via console port its asking for a licenses
key, how is this fixed? |
 |
-
When
the RWV's is in Demo mode, and the time expires, the system
will automatically reboot and ask for a key via the console
port. This can happen if the flash is corrupted or there is
an issue with the ethernet port which a licenses key is based
on. You will need to follow the FAQ on re-flashing the compact
flash as noted below.

What
is the correct ethernet cable use to connector to the RWV's? |
 |
- When connecting
to the RWV directly a cross over ethernet cable is used.
- When connecting
the RWV to a switch or hub a straight thought cable is used.
|
| |
|
 |
How
to start from scratch and re-write the compact flash on the RWV's? |
 |
- You will
need a supported USB or PCMCIA to CF read/writer
- Any PCMCIA
to CF should work
- PNY Technologies
USB to CF is known to work
- Pull the
CF from the slot in the RWV and insert in to CF read/writer
- Verify CF
is recognized by the operating system as a hard drive
- Download
the RAW write utility and RAW firmware file to the same directory:
- Run from
the command line, for example "physdiskwrite.exe dtrwv2xxx.1.13.4b1-4020.raw"
-
**WARNING SELECTING THE INCORRECT DRIVE WILL KILL
YOUR SYSTEMS HARD DRIVE**
- Make
sure to select the CF drive, example drive output for PNY

How
to upgrade the firmware on the RWV's |
 |
- Download
the rwv-util.exe backup / restore utility from our downloads page
which will be used to perform the upgrade:
- Download
RWV firmware (.bin version) that you wish to upgrade too:
- .Open a command
prompt and type the following to upload the new firmware to your
RWV base station
- rwv-util
192.168.1.1 1234 -f rwv-1.xx.x-xxxx.bin
- Substitute
'1234' for your system password, and include the appropriate
IP and firmware name.
- You will
see a progress meter, and when it hits 100%, the firmware has
been sent to your system.
- If by
chance you get a time-out or a lost connection, simply try
again. This procedure is not harmful your system if you decide
to cancel.
- Once uploaded,
log into your RWV system via SSH or console, and click on menu
item "System->Upgrade Firmware". Follow the on-screen
instructions to finish the update.
- The new firmware
will take effect after the next reboot.
|

|
 |
On
a long cable run the system powers up but there are many drop packets
or can no connect to the RWV, how can this be fixed? |
 |
- On long cable
runs over 200 feet set your switch to 10Mb / Full Duplex which
will force the RWV to the same mode.
