Router basics

Router Basics

Wireless routers with built-in switches are everywhere. Although there are differences between the routers, they have largely the same features. This guide provides a summary of the common aspects of the routers currently on the market. Reading your router manual is still necessary to know exactly what features your router has and where they are located, but reading this will give you an idea of what to expect before diving into the manual.

A router?

A router is any device that acts as a gateway between 2 or more separate networks. In our case, that means that the local network is connected to the Internet, and vice versa. The router ignores traffic local traffic or traffic it is not configured to handle, but when Internet access is attempted from within the local network, it springs into action. With NAT (Network Address Translation), the router shares the Internet connection to all the computers connected to the local network. The router keeps track of the originating local computer and manages the connection with the outside Internet server. If a computer on the Internet attempts a connection with the router or to a local computer past the router, the router denies the connection unless the router was specially configured to allow that connection.

Many routers can treat the wireless LAN (WLAN) as a separate network from the wired LAN. This is often done because wireless networks are easy to break into. The idea is that people can keep their wired computers away from the untrusted wireless network. The router will still share the Internet connection (WAN) to both the wireless and wired LANs, regardless of this configuration.

WAN connection

WAN stands for Wide Area Network. With a wireless router, it is used for the Internet connection. All of the WAN settings are the settings for the Internet-facing side of the router.
Router MAC Address (Clone MAC address)

A MAC address is a hardware identifier that is roughly unique. Many companies, especially cable ISPs, must store the MAC address of the router or Internet-facing computer, and they are configured to only allow that MAC address to connect to their network. If that is the case, your two options are to notify your ISP of the new MAC address or set the router’s MAC address to the MAC address of the previously Internet-facing router/computer.

Routers will show the router’s current MAC address and offer a form to change the MAC address. Enter the MAC address if needed.
DHCP client

All routers have a DHCP client (also called “Dynamic IP address”). DHCP is the protocol that automatically configures an IP address, netmask, gateway, and DNS addresses. The DHCP client gets the router’s IP address and other network info. Usually, this is just a radio button to select if this is how your ISP offers connection info. Most cable ISPs use this method.
Static IP

If your ISP provides a static IP, then fill in the IP information they provided you with when you signed up. This includes the IP address, netmask, gateway, and DNS addresses. Most T1/T3-type connections and business DSL services provide static IPs and use this method.

PPPoE

PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPP is the technology used for dialup Internet access. PPPoE works similarly except it works over a network connection. Most DSL ISPs now use PPPoE. You’ll need to enter your PPPoE username and password. Some ISPs also require a service name to be entered. Usually, you do not need to enter the IP/DNS addresses. However, if you have a static IP through PPPoE, then you will need to enter your IP and DNS addresses your ISP provides.

PPTP

Not every router supports PPTP connections, but many do. PPTP stands for Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol. PPTP is used to join 2 networks using the Internet as an intermediary network. It allows your home computers to connect to your work network over the Internet. It is also commonly used by xDSL ISPs in Europe. The key is to enter the PPPTP userID, password, and PPTP Gateway IP address. The IP addresses, subnet mask, and default gateway may or may not be required.

DNS

Some routers break the DNS addresses into their own setup. Just enter the IPs for the DNS servers your ISP provides. There are also many DNS servers that can be used from any connection. You can search for those DNS servers with Google.

LAN

The LAN settings are for your Local Area Network. This is the settings section for the local computers connected to the router. This includes setting up the local IP for your router and configuring the DHCP server so your computers can be automatically configured via DHCP, rather than requiring manual static configuration.

Set router IP

This IP is the IP your local computers see the router as. Generally, you’ll want to use an IP inside one of the reserved IP address ranges. Router IPs typically end in .1 or .254. The most common home router IP is 192.168.2.1.

DHCP server

A DHCP server provides automatic configuration to computers that are connected to it. It assigns an IP address to the computer, and gives it the network netmask, gateway IP, and DNS IPs. If you choose to disable the DHCP server, you can configure your computers manually to use the router. That is generally more complicated, so I generally recommend enabling the DHCP server.

The starting and ending IP addresses determine what the range of IP addresses will be assigned to the local computers. It is a good idea to give a larger range than the computers you have. Doing that means you won’t have to worry about running out of IP addresses.

The lease time determines how long a specific computer will be assigned a specific IP. This can be as short as a few minutes or as long as months. If you want to make sure that your computers keep the same IPs for a long time, then set a long lease time.

How a router works

How a router works

Summary

A router is an equipment which establishes the link between various networks or sub-networks.

More details...

Types of routers

There are several types of routers, the essential difference is that certain are normal computers equipped with network cards, and that others are equipment dedicated to the routing.

Design of a router

A router (which is dedicated) can be split in two parts:

• A backplane.
• A set of input/output ports.

The I/O

The inputs are connected to the output by the intermediary of the backplane with either:

• A shared memory (PC, bottom-of-the-range routers).
• A shared bus (medium-of-range routers).
• A point-to-point crossbar (top-of-the-range routers).

The backplane

The backplane is the motherboard which contains all the necessary components (processor, read-write memory, read-only memory) to embark a specialized operating system (for example IOS for the CISCO routers). Thus the system manages the shunting of the packets between the I/O as well as the management of the congestion.

A router can be compared to a basic computer, which is intended only for the execution of only one task: packets routing between the sender and the recipient in an optimized way.

Currently, routers are optimized according to what they must do to forward. Thus a router can exploit several points to increase his performances:

• The backplane speed
• The memories size
• Capacity of routing of the inputs.
• Capacity of service of the outputs.

Packets processing

To carry out the packets processing, a router sets up queues on the I/O, thus the input queues are used for the commutation, the routing, the classification and the output queues for scheduling, but the true heart of the router is his routing table. The routing table makes it possible to make the correspondence between the destination address and the ouput to take.

Example in the case of an IP router:

• The packet is taken on the input queue
• The packet IP address of destination is used jointly with the routing table to determine the next router (next jump) or if the destination is reached.
• The packet header is updated to register information.
• The packet is put in the selected output queue.

• 
  

What is Router

The Router

A Router is a layer 3 network device that moves data between different network segments and can look into a packet header to determine the best path for the packet to travel. Routers can connect network segments that use different protocols. They also allow all users in a network to share a single connection to the Internet or a WAN. It is used to improve network performance by:-

• segmenting the network and creating separate collision & broadcast domains.

• reducing competition for bandwidth.

• Broadcasts are not forwarded to other network segments.

• Increases security by using Access Lists.


Router Overview

There are other important types of network devices besides the router, but understanding how a router works will go a long way toward your understanding the whole of internetworking. Before you can learn how to configure and manage routers, however, you need to know the basics of what makes one up. This chapter gives a general review of Cisco router hardware and software.


ciscoA dizzying array of hardware, software, telecommunications media, and technical expertise goes into internetworking. Switches, hubs, firewalls, packets, gateways, ports, access servers, interfaces, layers, protocols, serial lines, ISDN, frames, topologies—the list can seem endless. But there is a way to simplify things. A single, tangible entity makes sense of it all: the router.

In the most basic terms, internetworking is about nothing more than linking machines and people through a maze of intermediary telecommunications lines and computing devices. This takes routing, which in essence involves just two fundamental missions: determine a path along which a link can be made and transmit packets across that path. It is within these two functions—which take place inside the router—that internetworking becomes easier to understand. This is because the router itself must cut all the complexity down to a level it can deal with. The router does this by working with everything, one IP packet at a time.

Looked at in this way, the router is the basic fabric of internetworks. Indeed, without the router, the Internet as we know it couldn’t even exist. This is because of the router’s unique and powerful capabilities:

* Routers can simultaneously support different protocols (such as Ethernet, Token Ring, ISDN, and others), effectively making virtually all computers compatible at the internetwork level.

* They seamlessly connect local area networks (LANs) to wide area networks (WANs), which makes it feasible to build large-scale internetworks with minimum centralized planning—sort of like Lego™ sets.

* Routers filter out unwanted traffic by isolating areas in which messages can be “broadcast” to all users in a network.

* They act as security gates by checking traffic against access permission lists.

* Routers assure reliability by providing multiple paths through internetworks.

* They automatically learn about new paths and select the best ones, eliminating artificial constraints on expanding and improving internetworks.

In other words, routers make internetworks possible. They do so by providing a unified and secure environment in which large groups of people can connect. However, there are obstacles to bringing users together on internetworks, whether on a corporate intranet, a virtual private network, or the Internet itself. Figure 4-1 depicts how routing technology is the key to overcoming these obstacles.

Routers are like mini Towers of Babel. The router’s ability to support different protocols simultaneously is probably its most important feature because this capability lets otherwise incompatible computers talk with one another regardless of operating system, data format, or communications medium. The computer industry spent decades and billions of dollars struggling to attain compatibility between proprietary systems and met with limited success. Yet, in less than a decade, TCP/IP internetworking has built a common platform across which virtually all computer and network architectures can freely exchange information.

cisco

The router’s ability to filter out unwanted traffic is also important to internetworking. If users are bombarded with volumes of unwanted messages or if they feel their systems can be easily broken into, they will resist linking up to internetworks. Traffic filtering and access control provided by routers give users sufficient privacy and confidence to participate in internetworks.

There are other important types of network devices besides the router, but understanding how a router works will go a long way toward your understanding the whole of internetworking. Before you can learn how to configure and manage routers, however, you need to know the basics of what makes one up. This chapter gives a general review of Cisco router hardware and software.
