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 FAQ on IPTABLES can be found at: http://www.faqs.org/docs/iptables/index.html

   
I am seeing via syslog "kernel: EXT2-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended" is it something to be worried about?
This message is harmless and nothing to worry about.

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
      • Set your domain-name using the option domain-name command.
      • Set your DNS servers using the option domain-name-servers command.
      • Define the subnet’s you wish to service with DHCP
      • Configure the DHCP parameters to be handed out to clients. Example:

        option domain-name “domain.com”;
        option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.254, 192.168.1.253;
        subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.100;
        option routers 10.0.0.1;
        };

      • This configuration will automatically configure client computers to use the following parameters:
        o Domain Name: domain.com
        o Name Servers: 192.168.1.254 and 192.168.1.253
        o An IP address from 10.0.0.10 through 10.0.0.100
        o A default router address of 10.0.0.0
   
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 are the Radius attributes uses with Hotspot, PPPoE and PPtP
  • Session-Timeout (max session length in seconds. 0 = unlimited)
  • Idle-Timeout (max idle time before session is closed in seconds, 0 = no idle timeout)
  • Framed-IP-Address (used to verify against user's login IP)
  • DTG-PPPoE-CBQ-RX (RX rate for user in bps)
  • DTG-PPPoE-CBQ-TX (TX rate for user in bps)
  • DTG-PPPoE-CBQ-RX-Fallback (Fallback RX rate for user in bps)
  • DTG-PPPoE-CBQ-TX-Fallback (Fallback TX rate for user in bps)

What port supports POE?
  • The port nearest to the 9 pin serial port on the 2XXX has support for POE
  • The port furthest from the 9 pint serial port on the 3XXX has support for POE
  • ***DO NOT*** Plug the POE into the second ethernet ports this could damage the RWV.
   
How to restore to default configuration?
  • Connect to serial port with null modem cable, set to 9600 baud for RWV-2XXX or 38400 for RWV-3XXX
  • Turn on RVW, garbage will appear on the screen for a few seconds then the boot system will start
  • Wait for full boot up to complete
  • Select "2) Restore Factory Defaults"
  • Type "factory"
  • Hard reboot the RWV
   
How long does boot up take?
  • Boot up will take anywhere from 45-60 seconds
  • If a system needs to be re-keyed from a newly made flash boot up will take 4-5 min during on the first boot, one system is keyed boot up will go back to 45-60 seconds
   
What is the default IP, Username and Password?
  • IP: 192.168.1.1
  • Username: Admin
  • Password: 1234
   
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 USB read/writer:

      Searching for physical drives... Information for \\.\PhysicalDrive0:

      Windows: cyl: 7299
      tpc: 255
      spt: 63
      C/H/S: 16383/16/63
      Model: QUANTUM FIREBALLP AS60.0
      Serial number: 796116079169

      Firmware rev.: A1Y.1500 Information for \\.\PhysicalDrive1:
      Windows: cyl: 3
      pc: 255
      pt: 63

      Which disk do you want to write? (0..1)

    • In this case select drive 1, which will write the RAW file to the CF
  • Insert the CF back into the RWV and power up.
  • At this point the RWV has a default setup with IP 192.168.1.1, a login of admin
    and password 1234.
  • Find MAC address of ether1 under interfaces and mail this to support@demarctech.com with key request in the subject line.
  • Once you have the key, under system > update / enter unlock key, enter the key to unlock the system
   
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.
