4. 2. 8. Static Routing

Static Routing is a form of routing that is configured manually by a network administrator or a user by adding entries into a routing table. The manually-configured routing information guides the router in forwarding data packets to the specific destination.

I want to:

Visit multiple networks and servers at the same time.

For example, in a small office, my PC can surf the internet through Router A, but I also want to visit my company’s network. Now I have a switch and Router B. I connect the devices as shown in the following figure so that the physical connection between my PC and my company’s server is established. To surf the internet and visit my company’s network at the same time, I need to configure the static routing.

How can I do that?

1.Change the routers’ LAN IP addresses to two different IP addresses on the same subnet. Disable Router B’s DHCP function.

2.Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for Router A.

3.Go to Advanced > Network > Routing and locate the Static Routing section.

4.Click Add and finish the settings according to the following explanations:

•Network Destination — The destination IP address that you want to assign to a static route. This IP address cannot be on the same subnet with the WAN IP or LAN IP of Router A. In the example, the IP address of the company network is the destination IP address, so here enter 172.30.30.1.

•Subnet Mask — The Subnet Mask determines which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion.

•Default Gateway — The IP address of the gateway device to which the data packets will be sent. This IP address must be on the same subnet with the

router’s IP which sends out data. In the example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of Router B and then to the Server, so the default gateway should be 192.168.0.2.

•Interface: Determined by the port (WAN/LAN) that sends out data packets. In the example, the data are sent to the gateway through the LAN port of Router A, so LAN should be selected.

•Description: Enter a description for this static routing entry.

5.Click SAVE.

6.Check the Routing Table below. If you can find the entry you’ve set, the static routing is set successfully.

2.Go to Advanced > Wireless > Additional Settings.

3.Configure the advanced settings of your wireless network and click Save.

Note:

If you are not familiar with the setting items on this page, it’s strongly recommended to keep the provided default values; otherwise it may result in lower wireless network performance.

•Enable WMM — WMM function can guarantee the packets with high-priority messages being transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended to enable this function.

•Enable Short GI — It is recommended to enable this function, for it will increase the data capacity by reducing the guard interval time.

•AP Isolation — This function isolates all connected wireless stations so that wireless stations cannot access each other through WLAN.

•Beacon Interval — Enter a value between 40-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval here. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. The beacons are the packets sent by the router to synchronize a wireless network. The default value is 100.

•RTS Threshold — Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the packet is larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the router will send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346.

•DTIM Interval — This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.

•Group Key Update Period — Enter a number of seconds (minimum 30) to control the time interval for the encryption key automatic renewal. The default value is 0, meaning no key renewal.

4. 4. NAT Forwarding

The router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices on the LAN use the same public IP address to communicate on the internet, which protects the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the problem that external hosts cannot initiatively communicate with the specified devices in the local network.

With the forwarding feature, the router can traverse the isolation of NAT so that clients on the internet can reach devices on the LAN and realize some specific functions.

The TP-Link router includes four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the priority of implementation from high to low is Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, UPNP and DMZ.

4. 4. 1. Port Forwarding

When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the internet, Port Forwarding can realize the service and provide it to internet users. At the same time Port Forwarding can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible from the internet.

Port Forwarding can be used to set up public services in your local network, such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different service uses different service port. Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP service and port 110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration.

I want to:

Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my friends through the internet.

For example, the personal website has been built in my home PC (192.168.0.100). I hope that my friends on the internet can visit my website in some way. My PC is connected to the router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.

Home

1.Set your PC to a static IP address, for example 192.168.0.100.

2.Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the router.

3.Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Forwarding.

4.Click Add.

5.Click VIEW COMMON SERVICES and select HTTP. The External Port, Internal Port and Protocol will be automatically filled in.

6.Click VIEW CONNECTED DEVICES and select your home PC. The Device IP Address will be automatically filled in. Or enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.0.100 manually in the Device IP Address field.

7.Click SAVE.

Note:

•It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not clear about which port and protocol to use.

•If the service you want to use is not in the Common Services list, you can enter the corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the port number that the service needs.

•You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in a router. Please note that the External Port should not be overlapped.

Done!

Users on the internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example: http:// 218.18.232.154)

to visit your personal website.

Note:

•If you have changed the default External Port, you should use http:// WAN IP: External Port to visit the website.

•The WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by the ISP, it is recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN referring to Dynamic DNS. Then users on the internet can use http:// domain name to visit the website.

4. 4. 2. Port Triggering

Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record the IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external ports, the router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly applied to online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications including MSN Gaming Zone, Dialpad, Quick Time 4 players and more.

Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:

1.Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the router.

2.Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering.

3.Click Add.

4.Click VIEW COMMON SERVICES, and select the desired application. The Triggering Port, Triggering Protocol and External Port will be automatically filled in. The following picture takes application MSN Gaming Zone as an example.

5. Click SAVE.

Note:

•You can add multiple port triggering rules as needed.

•The triggering ports can not be overlapped.

•If the application you need is not listed in the Common Services list, please enter the parameters manually. You should verify the external ports the application uses first and enter them in External Ports field. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port sections). Every group of ports must be set apart with “,”. For example, 2000-2038, 20502051, 2085, 3010-3030.

4. 4. 3. DMZ

When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in the local network, it is totally exposed to the internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special applications, such as IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ host.

Note:

DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards. If DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.

I want to:

Make the home PC join the internet online game without port restriction.

For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the online games, you can log in normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ host with all ports opened.

How can I do that?

1.Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100.

2.Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the router.

3.Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > DMZ and select Enable.

4.Click VIEW CONNECTED DEVICES and select your PC. The DMZ Host IP Address will be automatically filled in. Or enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.0.100 manually in the DMZ Host IP Address field.

5. Click SAVE.

Done!

You’ve set your PC to a DMZ host and now you can make a team to game with other players.

4. 4. 4. UPnP

The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the applications or host devices to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices on the local network and the internet can freely communicate with each other realizing the seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.

Tips:

•UPnP is enabled by default in this router.

•Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.

•UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc. Some of operating system need to install the UPnP components).

Forexample,whenyouconnectyourXboxtotherouterwhichisconnectedtotheinternet to play online games, UPnP will send request to the router to open the corresponding ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT to transmit. Therefore, you can play Xbox online games without a hitch.
