2RELEASE NOTES SUPERSTACK® II REMOTE ACCESS SYSTEM 1500 RELEASE 2.5

New Features The following are new features in this release:

MSCHAP Version 1

and

MSCHAP Version 2

RAS 1500 includes support for local, Remote Authentication Dial In User

Services (RADIUS) and NT NOS authentication. In addition to Password

Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake Authentication

Protocol (CHAP) support, Release 2.5 adds MSCHAP Versions 1 and 2 for

local and RADIUS authentication. Versions 1 and 2 are separate protocols

and are incompatible with each other. Therefore, you must set Point To

Point (PPP) Receive Authentication using either Version 1 or Version 2 of

MSCHAP.

You may set PPP Receive Authentication through the Web Configuration

Interface. From the main, browser-based Web Configuration Interface

page, click Authentication under the Administration menu. The

selections for MSCHAPV1 or MSCHAPV2 are under the PPP

Authentication Type pulldown menu.

You may also set PPP Receive Authentication through the Command Line

Interface (CLI). The CLI command to set PPP Receive Authentication using

either Version 1 or Version 2 is as follows:

SET PPP RECEIVE_AUTHENTICATION [ANY CHAP MSCHAPV1 MSCHAPV2

NONE PAP]

Note the use of “any” in the above CLI command example. If you

previously set any scripts using “either” (which was specified in the CLI

command for Version 2.0), you will need to change “either” to “any” in

the script.

Full Duplex Ethernet Ethernet now has full duplex functionality. Full duplex is typically

implemented between two endpoints. Both endpoints of the full duplex

link must operate in full duplex mode in order for full duplex to be fully

operational. If both endpoints are not set for full duplex functionality,

performance may degrade. The CLI command to set full duplex or half is

as follows:

SET ETHERNET DUPLEX_MODE [FULL_DUPLEX HALF_DUPLEX]

Auto-negotiation is not supported on the Ethernet port. Therefore, when

you set full duplex while connected through a switch on the Ethernet

port, make sure you manually set the switch to full duplex mode.

New Features 3

File Compression Release 2.5 includes improved file compression for internal file storage,

increasing the amount of free space on the flash of the Router Unit. This

allows for larger configuration files stored locally on the flash, and

reduces the frequency of RAS 1500 going into ‘Flash Compaction’ mode.

This feature is automatic and you don’t have to do anything to implement

it.

TCP PAT Release 2.5 includes support for Port Address Translation (PAT) over the

WAN interface. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) PAT sets a static

address mapping translation for a connection and associates a user name

with that connection. TCP PAT translates TCP port numbers and user IP

addresses on the private network and maps these addresses to a single

ISP-assigned address.

You can set PAT through the Web Configuration Interface. Fromthe main

browser-based Web Configuration Interface page, click Select NAT/PAT

Configuration under the Network menu, choose PAT and supply the

following parameters:

■User name

■TCP Public Port

■TCP Private Port

■TCP Private IP Address

You can also set PAT using CLI. The CLI command for adding TCP PAT

over the WAN interface is as follows:

ADD PAT TCP USER <USER_NAME>

This command should be followed sequentially by the following sub

commands. See the table below for definitions of the parameters.

PRIVATE_ADDRESS <IP_ADDRESS>

PRIVATE_PORT <NUMBER>

PUBLIC_PORT <NUMBER>

Parameter Description

<USER_ NAME> Unique name you assign to the connection that you

want to configure for static TCP PAT.

Limit: 32 ASCII characters.

PRIVATE_ADDRESS The source IP address of the user on the private

network.

RelNotes2.5.fm Page 3 Thursday, June 8, 2000 2:42 PM

4RELEASE NOTES SUPERSTACK® II REMOTE ACCESS SYSTEM 1500 RELEASE 2.5

UDP PAT Release 2.5 includes support for User Data Protocol (UDP) PAT over the

WAN interface. UDP PAT sets a static address mapping translation for a

connection and associates a user name with that connection. UDP PAT

translates UDP port numbers and user addresses on the private network

and maps these addresses to a single ISP-assigned address by changing

the source IP port number and IP address.

You can set UDP PAT through the Web Configuration Interface. From the

main, browser-based Web Configuration Interface page, click Select

NAT/PAT Configuration under the Network menu, choose PAT and

supply the following parameters:

■User name

■UDP Public Port

■UDP Private Port

■UDP Private IP Address

You can also set UDP PAT using CLI. The CLI command for adding UDP

PAT over the WAN interface is as follows:

ADD PAT UDP USER <USER_NAME>

This command should be followed sequentially by the following sub

commands. See the table below for definitions of the parameters.

PRIVATE_ADDRESS <IP_ADDRESS>

PRIVATE_PORT <NUMBER>

PUBLIC_PORT <NUMBER>

PRIVATE_PORT The source port number on the private network from

which TCP packets are transferred.

PUBLIC_PORT The destination port number of the ISP-assigned IP

address on the public network.

Parameter Description

<USER_ NAME> Unique name you assign to the connection that you

want to configure for static UDP PAT.

Limit: 32 ASCII characters.

PRIVATE_ADDRESS The source IP address of the user on the private

network.

PRIVATE_PORT The source port number on the private network from

which UDP packets are transferred.

RelNotes2.5.fm Page 4 Thursday, June 8, 2000 2:42 PM

New Features 5

Note: PAT can only be used when the ISP has provided only one IP

address. This one IP address will dynamically change with each new

connection.

Dynamic NAT Release 2.5 includes support for Dynamic Network Address Translation

(NAT) over the WAN interface. Dynamic NAT configures and associates a

name with a specific number of ISP-assigned addresses.

You can set Dynamic NAT through the Web Configuration Interface. From

the main, browser-based Web Configuration Interface page, click Select

NAT/PAT Configuration under the Network menu, choose NAT and

supply the following parameters:

■User name

■Starting IP Address

■Number of Addresses

■Subnet Mask

You can also set Dynamic NAT using CLI. The CLI command for adding

Dynamic NAT over the WAN interface is as follows:

ADD NAT DYNAMIC USER <USER_NAME>

This command should be followed sequentially by the following sub

commands. See the table below for definitions of the parameters.

COUNT <NUMBER OF ADDRESSES>

PUBLIC_POOL_START<IP_ADDRESS>

PUBLIC_PORT The destination port number of the ISP-assigned IP

address on the public network.

PUBLIC_PORT The port number of the single ISP-assigned IP address

on the public network.

Parameter Description

<USER_ NAME> Unique name that you want to assign the connection

that uses Dynamic NAT to map ISP-assigned addresses

to connections on the private network. Limit: 32 ASCII

characters.

COUNT Total number of ISP-assigned addresses starting with

the public_pool_start address that is used by the RAS

1500 for Dynamic NAT mapping.

RelNotes2.5.fm Page 5 Thursday, June 8, 2000 2:42 PM

6RELEASE NOTES SUPERSTACK® II REMOTE ACCESS SYSTEM 1500 RELEASE 2.5

Below is an example of Dynamic NAT.

The command,

ADD NAT DYNAMIC USER NATD COUNT 4 PUBLIC_POOL_START 2.2.2.2

sets (the count of) “4” consecutive ISP-assigned addresses beginning with

the ISP-assigned address “2.2.2.2” to use for Dynamic NAT. In this case,

the range includes the ISP-assigned addresses, “2.2.2.2”, “2.2.2.3”,

“2.2.2.4”, and “2.2.2.5”. “NATD” represents the name that is assigned

for the connection for this configured range.

Each time a user connects to the public network, Dynamic NAT translates

the IP address from that user on the private network and maps it to the

first available public IP address fromthe contiguous range of ISP-assigned

addresses that you configured by using this command. The RAS 1500

maintains a table of active IP addresses on the public network mapped to

user IP addresses on the private network for the connection. Once the

connection to the public network is closed, the information in the table is

dropped and this IP address is free for the next connection. Each time a

user connects to the public network, the next available address from the

contiguous range is assigned, and a new table of mapped addresses is

established by the RAS 1500.

Static NAT Release 2.5 includes support for Static NAT over the WAN interface. Static

NAT configures, and associates a name to, a mapping between and IP

address on the private network to a specific ISP-assigned address on the

public network that uses Static NAT.

You can set Static NAT through the Web Configuration Interface. From

the main, browser-based Web Configuration Interface page, click Select

NAT/PAT Configuration under the Network menu, choose NAT and

supply the following parameters:

■User name

■Public IP Address

■Private IP Address

PUBLIC_POOL_START The first of the contiguous range of IP addresses

assigned by Dynamic NAT mapping.

Parameter Description

RelNotes2.5.fm Page 6 Thursday, June 8, 2000 2:42 PM

New Features 7

You can also set Static NAT using CLI. The CLI command for adding Static

NAT over the WAN interface is as follows:

ADD NAT STATIC USER <USER_NAME>

This command should be followed sequentially by the following sub

commands. See the table below for definitions of the parameters.

PRIVATE_ADDRESS <IP_ADDRESS>

PUBLIC_ADDRESS <IP_ADDRESS>

Below is an example of Static NAT.

The command,

ADD NAT STATIC USER NATS PRIVATE ADDRESS 1.1.1.1 PUBLIC

ADDRESS 2.2.2.2

statically assigns the private address 1.1.1.1 to the ISP-assigned addresses

address “2.2.2.2” to for Static NAT and names this mapping that uses

Static NAT, “NATS”. In this case, 1.1.1.1 always connects to 2.2.2.2. In

this example, “NATS” is the name given to the mapping between the IP

address on the private network and ISP-assigned address on the public

network configured for this Static NAT.

Each time the IP address on the private network, “1.1.1.1” connects to

the public network, Static NAT translates the IP address and connects it to

the static assigned addresses, “2.2.2.2”. The RAS 1500 maintains a table

of active mappings between IP addresses on the private network mapped

to statically assigned IP addresses on the public network.

NAT can only be used when the ISP has provided more than one IP

address. The first and last in the contiguous range of ISP-assigned

Parameter Description

<USER_ NAME> Unique name that you want to assign the connection

that uses Static NAT to map a specific ISP-assigned

address to a specific address on the private network.

PRIVATE_ADDRESS The network address of the host on the private

network that is designated a specific, static public IP

address. This address is always used when connecting

to the public network.

PUBLIC_ADDRESS The public network IP address from the contiguous

range assigned by the ISP, that is reserved for, and

always maps to, the IP address on the private network

configured for Static NAT.

RelNotes2.5.fm Page 7 Thursday, June 8, 2000 2:42 PM

8RELEASE NOTES SUPERSTACK® II REMOTE ACCESS SYSTEM 1500 RELEASE 2.5

addresses are “broadcast” addresses and are not available for NAT. The

second address in the contiguous range is reserved for the RAS 1500 and

also is not available for NAT.

Both Dynamic and Static NAT can be used simultaneously, however

individual users connecting to the public network must be configured for

either dynamic or static NAT. In addition, the IP addresses of users

configured for either NAT type, must be consecutive addresses at the

beginning or end of the series of addresses in the subnet on the private

network.

GSM Release 2.5 includes support for callback to Global Systems for Mobile

Communications (GSM) devices, at the prevailing GSM data rate.

Operational Information 9

Operational

Information The following operational information is associated with this release:

Closing A Telnet Issue

Resolved Closing a Telnet session by clicking the box in the top right corner of the

window will now properly close the session.

Lingering User

Sessions Have Been

Eliminated

Faulty handling of certain dial in client disconnects has been corrected.

The symptoms for this problem include:

■User sessions which no longer exist, remain in the session list.

■Disconnected users appear active.

■Apparently random rebooting of the RAS1500. Rebooting of the unit

was caused by the loss of memory, due to the accumulation of

inactive user sessions.

Timing Out

Prematurely During

Dial-Out Resolved

Certain situations in which dialing out fromthe RAS1500 would time-out

prematurely while waiting for the other side to answer, have been

corrected.

Adding a User When you add a user fromthe LAN-to-LAN page, to use Frame Relay over

the WAN port, the Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) that is created will

have the name that is entered in the "Incoming User Name" field. In the

Shared ISP page, it will be the "ISP Name".

Deleting a Datalink If you want to delete a datalink on the WAN interface, you should do it

through the CLI using the following commands:

RAS1500>DISABLE DATALINK <FRAME_RELAY | PPP> INTERFACE

rm0/wan:1

RAS1500>DELETE DATALINK <FRAME_RELAY | PPP> INTERFACE

rm0/wan:1

Deleting a Frame

Relay PVC If you want to delete a Frame Relay PVC, youshould do it through the CLI

using the following command:

RAS1500>DISABLE USER <USERNAME ASSOCIATED WITH THE PVC>

RAS1500>DISABLE FRAME_RELAY PVC <PVC NAME>

RAS1500>DELETE FRAME_RELAY PVC <PVC NAME>

10 RELEASE NOTES SUPERSTACK® II REMOTE ACCESS SYSTEM 1500 RELEASE 2.5

Modifying DLCI The Digital (Data) Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) of a Frame Relay user,

cannot be modified directly from the LAN-to-LAN and Shared ISP pages

of the RAS 1500 Web Configurator. To modify the DLCI, you must use the

CLI.

Perform the following steps to change the DLCI:

a) Go to the CLI and delete the existing PVC and the user using the

following CLI commands:

RAS1500>DISABLE USER <USERNAME>

RAS1500>DISABLE FRAME_RELAY PVC <PVC NAME>

RAS1500>DELETE USER <USERNAME>

RAS1500>DELETE FRAME_RELAY PVC <PVC NAME>

b) Through the Web Configurator, add an entry in the LAN-to-LAN or the

Shared ISP page depending on your requirements, with the new DLCI.

This will add a PVC with the new DLCI.

Changing Datalink RAS1500 allows you to have one datalink on the WAN interface, either

PPP or Frame Relay. You cannot modify a Frame Relay user to PPP Leased

Line or vice versa, in the modify mode in the LAN-to-LAN and Shared ISP

pages of the RAS 1500 Web Configurator. (The same holds true if you

want to change the datalink on the WAN interface from Frame Relay to

Leased Line or vice versa). To change the Datalink, you must use CLI.

Perform the following steps to change a Datalink:

a) Go to the CLI and delete the user.

If you are changing from Frame Relay to PPP Leased Line, use the

following CLI commands:

RAS1500>DISABLE USER <USERNAME>

RAS1500>DISABLE FRAME_RELAY PVC <PVC NAME>

RAS1500>DISABLE DATALINK FRAME_RELAY INTERFACE rm0/wan:1

RAS1500>DELETE USER <USERNAME>

RAS1500>DELETE FRAME_RELAY PVC <PVC NAME>

RAS1500>DELETE DATALINK FRAME_RELAY INTERFACE rm0/wan:1

If you are changing from PPP Leased Line to Frame Relay, use the

following CLI commands:

RAS1500>DISABLE USER <USERNAME>
