5  INITIAL ROUTER CONFIGURATION 
5.1  ESR router factory settings 
The  device  is  shipped  to  the  consumer  with  the  factory  configuration  installed  which  includes 
essential  basic  settings.  Factory  configuration  allows  you  to  use  the  router  as  a  gateway  with  SNAT 
without  applying any  additional settings. Also,  factory configuration  contains  settings that  allow  you  to 
obtain network access to the device for advanced configuration.  
Description of factory settings 
To  establish  network connection, the  configuration features 2  security zones named 'Trusted' for 
local  area  network  and  'Untrusted' for  public  network.  All  interfaces  are  divided  between  two  security 
zones: 
1. 'Untrusted' zone is meant for a public network (WAN) connection. In this zone, DHCP ports are 
open in order to obtain dynamic IP address from the provider. All incoming connections from this zone to 
the router are blocked.   
This security zone includes the following interfaces: 
  For ESR-100 and ESR-200: GigabitEthernet 1/0/1; 
  For ESR-1000 and ESR-1200: GigabitEthernet1/0/1, TengigabitEthernet1/0/1, 
TengigabitEthernet1/0/2. 
Zone interfaces are grouped into a single L2 segment via Bridge 2 network bridge. 
2.  'Trusted' zone is  meant for a  local  area  network (LAN) connection.  In this zone, the following 
ports are open: Telnet and SSH ports for remote access, ICMP ports for router availability test, DHCP ports 
for clients obtaining IP addresses from the router. Outgoing connections from this zone into the Untrusted 
zone are allowed.   
This security zone includes the following interfaces: 
  For ESR-100: GigabitEthernet 1/0/2-4; 
  For ESR-200: GigabitEthernet1/0/2-8;  
  For ESR-1000: GigabitEthernet1/0/2-24; 
  For ESR-1200: GigabitEthernet1/0/2-16, TengigabitEthernet1/0/3-8; 
 
Zone interfaces are grouped into a single L2 segment via Bridge 1 network bridge. 
On the Bridge 2 interface, DHCP client is enabled to obtain dynamic IP address from the provider. 
On Bridge 1 interface, static IP address 192.168.1.1/24 is configured. Created IP address acts as a gateway 
for LAN clients. For LAN clients, DHCP address pool 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254 is configured with the mask 
255.255.255.0.  For  clients  in  order  to  access  the  Internet,  the  router  should  have  Source  NAT  service 
enabled.
