Rights for FRITZ!Box Users
The rights define which contents of the FRITZ!Box a FRITZ!Box
user is allowed to access.
The rights checked in the user account are granted to the
FRITZ!Box user for access from the home network and—if en-
abled—also for access from the Internet; see page 39.
You can grant the following rights:
• FRITZ!Box settings
A user with these rights can open the http://fritz.box
or
http://myfritz.box
view of the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Here she or he can see and edit all settings. Configura-
tion rights automatically include the right to access
voice messages, faxes, FRITZ!App Fon and the call list as
well as the right to control smart home devices.
A registered user cannot revoke these rights herself or
himself and cannot disable her or his own account.
• Voice messages, faxes, FRITZ!App Fon and call list
A user with these rights can open the http://myfritz.box
view. There she or he can view faxes, the call list,
FRITZ!App Fon, and listen to voice messages.
• Access to NAS contents
A user with this right can open the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face http://fritz.nas
. Here she or he can view the con-
tents for which she or he has read rights and—if she or
he has write rights as well—edit these contents.
Access to NAS contents can be granted for all storage
media available on the FRITZ!Box or for one selected di-
rectory.
• Smart home
If you also deploy AVM devices for home automation in
your FRITZ!Box network, a FRITZ!Box user with these
rights can use the MyFRITZ! access for the remote control
of up to 10 switchable outlets.
Using FRITZ!Box Users
FRITZ!Box 7430 39
• VPN
A user with this right can use her or his mobile device or
computer to establish a safe VPN connection to the
FRITZ!Box and its home network.
Accessing the FRITZ!Box from the Internet
To be able to access your FRITZ!Box from the Internet, the fol-
lowing conditions must be fulfilled:
• You have set up an account with the MyFRITZ! service;
see page 135. Your FRITZ!Box is registered with this
MyFRITZ! account.
• The option “Access from the Internet allowed” is en-
abled in your user account.
• The option “Internet access to the FRITZ!Box via HTTPS
enabled” is selected in the “Internet / MyFRITZ!” menu,
or enabled in the “Internet / Permit Access / FRITZ!Box
Services” menu.
When the MyFRITZ! service is enabled this check mark is
set automatically.
A FRITZ!Box user who has been granted Internet access can
use the MyFRITZ! service (myfritz.net
) to access the corre-
sponding FRITZ!Box from any location. From the Internet she
or he can reach only those FRITZ!Box contents she or he can
also access from the home network.
Check at regular intervals whether a FRITZ!Box user still re-
quires access to the FRITZ!Box from the Internet, and if not,
disable this feature in the properties of the user. For reasons
of security we recommend disabling Internet access to the
FRITZ!Box via HTTPS whenever no more FRITZ!Box users re-
quire access to the user interface of your FRITZ!Box from the
Internet.
For more information about MyFRITZ!, see the chapter
MyFRITZ!: Accessing the FRITZ!Box from Anywhere from
page 134.

Using FRITZ!Box Users
How to Use FRITZ!Box User Accounts
• As a FRITZ!Box user with all rights, you can control and
configure your FRITZ!Box at home from anywhere, and al-
so view contents and download what you need.
• If you set up a FRITZ!Box user account for every member
of the family, with at least the rights to access voice mes-
sages, faxes, FRITZ!App Fon and the call list, the entire
family can check the answering machine or view the call
list even when they’re away from home.
• With a FRITZ!Box user account that has only the right to
access a certain area of the NAS, you can grant your
friends Internet access to your latest vacation pictures,
for instance.
• As a FRITZ!Box user with the “Smart home” right, you
can switch your lamps or aquarium pumps on and off
from anywhere in the world. The prerequisite is that you
connect them to smart home devices from AVM (like
FRITZ!DECT 200, for instance) which are integrated in the
home network of your FRITZ!Box. You can remote control
up to 10 switchable outlets over your MyFRITZ! access.
Preconfigured FRITZ!Box User: ftpuser
The first time you open the overview of user accounts under
“System / FRITZ!Box Users / Users”, the user “ftpuser” is al-
ready listed.
This is because the FRITZ!NAS service, in which the storage
media connected with the FRITZ!Box are summarized, can al-
so be accessed over the protocols SAMBA and FTP. If you ac-
cess FRITZ!NAS via Windows file sharing or an FTP client, your
users must be authenticated by entering “ftpuser”.
The preconfigured user account ensures smooth access to
FRITZ!NAS over SAMBA and FTP. Therefore it is important not
to delete or rename this user.
If you use only the login method with FRITZ!Box user name
and password to access your FRITZ!Box, you can also set up a
user account with NAS access rights.
Using FRITZ!Box Users
FRITZ!Box 7430 41
You can delete the preconfigured “ftpuser” account only if
you always use your FRITZ!Box user account to access the
FRITZ!Box, be it from home or via the Internet. In every other
case deleting this user account will make it impossible to use
the NAS services of the FRITZ!Box, or allow only restricted
use.
Quick Access to Your Own User Account
The upper navigation bar of the FRITZ!Box shows the name of
the FRITZ!Box user account with which the user is currently
logged in to the user interface.
Click the user name to control basic functions of this user ac-
count:
• Changing the e-mail address
Select the “Change e-mail Address” entry to assign a dif-
ferent e-mail address to the current user account.
• Changing the password
With the “Change Password” entry you can change the
password of the current user account.
• Logging off
Click “Log Off” here to leave the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face.
Log off of the FRITZ!Box user interface before you surf the
web with your browser. If you do not click on the
FRITZ!Box user interface for a period of longer than sixty
minutes, you will be logged off automatically.

reasons of security, you have to restore the factory settings to
your FRITZ!Box; see Deleting User Settings from page 152.
You can avoid this by enabling the “Forgot password” push
service when you configure your FRITZ!Box; see the section
Push Services: Using Notification Services from page 140.
“No login” Mode
FRITZ!Box 7430 43
8.5 “No login” Mode
From within the home network you can operate the FRITZ!Box
user interface without enabling password protection. This
means that every user who accesses the interface of your
FRITZ!Box can view and change all information and settings.
In the “No login” mode, your private information is not suffi-
ciently protected from malicious programs or unwelcome ac-
tivities. Therefore we urgently advise against using the
FRITZ!Box without password protection!
For comprehensive information about logging in to the
FRITZ!Box with a password, see the sections Using FRITZ!Box
Users from page 35 and Configuring a FRITZ!Box Password
from page 34.
Protect your FRITZ!Box by defining a password for the
FRITZ!Box user interface. To do this, go to the “System /
FRITZ!Box Users / Login to the Home Network” menu and se-
lect one of the password protection methods.

Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use
Permitted Websites
Access to websites with inappropriate content can be blocked
using filters. The following filtering options are available:
• Prevent HTTP queries: You can prevent HTTPS queries.
HTTPS is used, for instance, to open Facebook, Gmail
and online banking.
• Permit websites with a whitelist:
– The whitelist is a filter list that should be used when
access should be limited to just a few websites.
– Access to web pages entered in the whitelist is per-
mitted.
– When a whitelist is used, only those websites includ-
ed in the list can be opened, and no others.
• Block websites with a blacklist:
– The blacklist is a filter list that should be used when
access to most websites is to be permitted, and the
number of blocked websites is relatively small.
– Access to web pages entered in the blacklist is
blocked.
– If the blacklist is used, no website can be opened by
entering its IP address. This is also true for websites
that are not included in the blacklist.
– For applications that address websites only directly
via the IP address, for instance virus scanner update
software, the relevant IP addresses can be released
for access by entering them in the exception list of
“Permitted IP addresses”.
Internet Access by Network Applications
You can list network applications for which you would like to
block communication with the Internet. For instance, you can
prohibit file sharing programs or online games from commu-
nicating over the Internet.

Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
FRITZ!Box 7430 63
12.2 Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the
Internet
With default settings in the FRITZ!Box, programs on your com-
puter and LAN cannot be accessed from the Internet.
For applications like online games and file sharing software
or server services like HTTP, FTP, VPN, terminal and remote ac-
cess servers, you have to make your computer accessible for
other Internet users.
Port Forwarding
Using port forwarding you allow incoming connections from
the Internet. By releasing certain ports for incoming connec-
tions, you grant controlled access to the computers in your
network to other Internet users.
The following port forwarding methods are possible in the
FRITZ!Box:
PING IPv4:
The FRITZ!Box responds to ping inquiries from
the Internet addressed to the IPv4 address of the
FRITZ!Box.
IPv6:
The FRITZ!Box responds to ping inquiries from
the Internet addressed to the IPv6 address of the
FRITZ!Box. Additionally, you can set up PING6
port forwarding rules for each computer in the
home network since each computer has its own
globally valid IPv6 address.
TCP
UDP
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the FRITZ!Box
firewall for the protocols TCP and UDP when en-
tering the port range. One port can be opened for
exactly one computer.
IPv6:
Within IPv6 networks you can open the FRITZ!Box
firewall for the protocols TCP and UDP when en-
tering the port range. One port can be opened for
each computer in the network.
FRITZ!Box 7430 64
Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
Configuring Port Forwarding in the FRITZ!Box
• IPv4:
– Port forwarding is configured in the “Internet / Per-
mit Access” menu, on the “Port Forwarding” page.
• IPv6:
– Enable the advanced view.
– Port forwarding is set up in the “Internet / Permit Ac-
cess” menu, on the “IPv6” page.
Determining the IPv4 Address for Accessing the FRITZ!Box
If you have enabled ports for forwarding in the FRITZ!Box, oth-
er Internet users can access your computers at the IP address
assigned to your FRITZ!Box by the Internet service provider.
This is a public IPv4 address.
Here is how to determine the public IPv4 address of the
FRITZ!Box:
1. Open any Internet page in order to establish an Internet
connection.
ESP
GRE
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall
for the two protocols ESP and GRE, which do not
use ports.
Exposed host
(Open firewall
completely)
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall
completely for one computer. This computer is
then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box fire-
wall. If individual ports are already open for other
computers, then data packets for these ports are
not forwarded to the exposed host, but to the
other computer instead.
IPv6:
Within IPv6 networks you can open the firewall
completely for each computer. These computers
are then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box
firewall.
Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address
FRITZ!Box 7430 65
2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
3. Enable the advanced view.
4. The FRITZ!Box’s public IPv4 address is displayed on the
“Overview” page in the “Connections” area.
Can Always Be Reached, Even When the IP Address Changes
Every time the Internet connection is interrupted, the Internet
service provider re-assigns the IP address. The IP address
may change in the process. Therefore it is a good idea to use
MyFRITZ! or dynamic DNS so that the IP address can always
be reached under the same name. For more information
about MyFRITZ!, see the chapter MyFRITZ!: Accessing the
FRITZ!Box from Anywhere on page 134. For more information
about dynamic DNS, see the section Dynamic DNS: Name Ins-
tead of IP Address on page 65.
12.3 Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address
Dynamic DNS is an Internet service that makes it possible for
the FRITZ!Box to remain accessible from the Internet at all
times under a fixed name, even though the public IP address
changes.
Dynamic DNS can be used as an alternative to MyFRITZ!. Both
services can be used in parallel.
You must register with a dynamic DNS provider to use this
service. When you register, you agree on the fixed name (do-
main name) at which your FRITZ!Box should be accessible
from the Internet. You also define a user name and password.
Every time the IP address changes, the FRITZ!Box transmits
the new IP address to the dynamic DNS provider in the form of
an update request. Then the domain name is assigned to the
current IP address by the dynamic DNS provider.
Configuring Dynamic DNS in the FRITZ!Box
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.
FRITZ!Box 7430 66
Access from the Internet via HTTPS, FTP and FTPS
4. Select the “Dynamic DNS” page and set up dynamic
DNS. See the Help available in the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face for more information.
12.4 Access from the Internet via HTTPS, FTP and FTPS
Over the Internet it is possible to access the user interface of
the FRITZ!Box. With a laptop, smartphone or tablet PC you can
configure settings in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Requirements for Access over the Internet
• Access to the user interface: Every user who would like
to access the FRITZ!Box externally from the Internet re-
quires a FRITZ!Box user account which is authorized for
access from the Internet.
• Access to storage: Every user who would like to access
the storage of the FRITZ!Box externally from the Internet
requires a FRITZ!Box user account with the rights to ac-
cess from the Internet and to access the contents on the
storage media.
• The protocols for the desired access must be enabled in
the FRITZ!Box.
HTTPS, FTP and FTPS
The protocols HTTPS, FTP and FTPS are used for access over
the Internet.
• HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)
HTTPS is an Internet protocol for bug-proof communica-
tion between the web server and the browser in the
World Wide Web.
Enable this protocol to allow access to the FRITZ!Box
from the Internet.
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
FTP is a network protocol for transmitting files in IP net-
works.
Enable this protocol to allow access by FTP to the
FRITZ!Box storage media from the Internet.
Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
FRITZ!Box 7430 67
• FTPS (FTP over SSL)
FTPS is a method for encrypting the FTP protocol.
Enable this protocol to secure transmission over FTP.
Enabling HTTPS, FTP and FTPS in the FRITZ!Box
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.
4. Select the “FRITZ!Box Services” page and enable the
protocols you need. See also the Help on the user inter-
face.
12.5 Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
Prioritization is a function you can use to specify that network
applications and network devices be treated with higher or
lower priority when they access the Internet connection. For
example, you may wish to ensure that applications like Inter-
net telephony, IPTV and video on demand are always treated
with higher priority than other applications. You can also
specify that file-sharing applications like eMule and BitTor-
rent always have to wait behind online games.
Categories for Prioritization
There are three categories for prioritization: “Real-time appli-
cations”, “Prioritized applications” and “Background appli-
cations”.
Network applications and network devices are assigned to
the categories using rules.
Real-time Applications
This category is suitable for applications with high demands
on transmission rates and reaction times (for example, Inter-
net telephony, IPTV, video on demand).
• Network applications of this category always have priori-
ty over other applications accessing the Internet at the
same time.
FRITZ!Box 7430 68
Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
• When the Internet connection is working at full capacity,
the network packets of the applications of this category
will always be sent first. In this case data from network
applications assigned to other categories will be trans-
mitted later.
• If multiple network applications are assigned to this cat-
egory, then they must share the available capacity.
• Whenever Internet telephony is included in this catego-
ry, this application always has the highest priority, even
over other real-time applications.
Prioritized Applications
This category is suitable for applications that require a fast re-
action time (for example, company access, terminal applica-
tions, games).
• For network applications prioritized in this category,
90% of the FRITZ!Box’s upload bandwidth is available,
as long as no application from the “Real-time applica-
tions” category requires bandwidth. The remaining 10%
of the upload bandwidth is available for applications
that are prioritized in lower categories or not prioritized
at all.
• If multiple network applications are assigned to the “Pri-
oritized applications” category, then they must share
the available capacity.
Background Applications
This category is suitable for applications that do not require
any high transmission rates and which are not time-critical
(for example, peer-to-peer services or automatic updates).
• Network applications assigned to this category are al-
ways treated with the lowest priority when the Internet
connection is working at full capacity. So whenever an
application from a different category or a non-prioritized
application requires the entire bandwidth, all back-
ground applications must wait until bandwidth capacity
becomes available again.
Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
FRITZ!Box 7430 69
• If no other network applications are active, then the
background applications receive the entire bandwidth.
Prioritization Method in the FRITZ!Box
The following techniques are used in the FRITZ!Box to send
data packets according to their prioritization:
• Change in the order in which packets are sent to the
Internet (upstream direction)
The order of the packets the FRITZ!Box receives from the
Internet (downstream direction) cannot be changed.
• Discard low-priority packets in order to ensure the trans-
mission of higher-priority packets. This technique is
used whenever more packets are supposed to be sent to
the Internet than the upstream transmission rate of the
Internet connection allows.
• As long as no packets are being sent from higher-priority
applications, the full transmission rate of the Internet
connection is available for low-priority packets.
Configuring Prioritization in the FRITZ!Box
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Configure prioritization in the “Internet / Filters / Prioriti-
zation” menu.

site.
VPN: Remote Access to the Home Network
FRITZ!Box 7430 71
See also the Help available in the FRITZ!Box user interface for
assistance with configuring VPN.
Supplementary Software for VPN
All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a configu-
ration file. The terminals involved in any VPN must receive
this file.
Individual computers that are networked over a VPN require a
VPN client.
• The “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN Connection” Wizard
AVM provides the “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN Connection”
software for creating configuration files. This program is
a Wizard that takes you step by step through the VPN
configuration. All of the necessary VPN settings, like the
encryption method and access rules, are set automati-
cally. The resulting configuration files must be imported
to the terminals of the VPN tunnel. At the terminal with
the FRITZ!Box the configuration file is then imported to
the FRITZ!Box. The VPN parameters in these files can be
adjusted manually to connect to products by other man-
ufacturers.
• The “FRITZ!VPN” VPN client
AVM offers the “FRITZ!VPN” software as a VPN client.
Both the Wizard and the client can be downloaded free of
charge from the VPN Service page on the AVM website:

Freely Selectable DNS Servers
12.7 Freely Selectable DNS Servers
DNS servers are preset in the FRITZ!Box for IPv4 and IPv6.
These are the DNS servers assigned by the Internet service
provider.
For both IPv4 and IPv6, the preset DNS server can be replaced
by a free DNS server. Free DNS servers include, for instance,
OpenDNS and Google DNS.
Here is how to change the DNS server entry:
The “DNSv6” page is displayed only if you enabled IPv6 sup-
port for the FRITZ!Box on the “IPv6” page.
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. In the “Internet / Account Information” menu, select the
“DNS Server” page.
4. Change the settings for the DNS servers.
12.8 DNSSEC: Security for DNS Queries
DNSSEC is short for Domain Name System Security Exten-
sions. As the name says, this is an extension of DNS, the do-
main name system.
DNSSEC ensures that both the DNS server and the informa-
tion returned by the DNS server are authentic, or genuine.
Security with DNSSEC
When a home user surfs the web, she or he sends queries to
the Internet by entering URLs in the address field of the
browser. A URL is the name of a website that is easy to re-
member, for instance en.avm.de
. Every query is sent to the
DNS server first. The DNS server resolves the URL into the cor-
responding IP address. There is one unique IP address for
every URL.
IPv6: The New Internet Protocol
FRITZ!Box 7430 73
The home user relies on the authenticity of the IP address re-
turned by the DNS server. Authentic means that the response
is the IP address of the desired website, and not a faked IP
address that leads to a fake website. DNSSEC can ensure that
the returned addresses are authentic.
Support with the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box supports DNSSEC queries over UDP.
The FRITZ!Box has a DNS proxy. The computers in the home
network use the FRITZ!Box as a DNS server. The FRITZ!Box for-
wards DNSSEC queries from the home network to the Inter-
net. The FRITZ!Box forwards DNSSEC responses from the
Internet to the home network. The DNSSEC information must
be validated on the computer in the home network. For this
DNSSEC must be supported in the operating system.
12.9 IPv6: The New Internet Protocol
IPv6 stands for Internet protocol version 6 and is the succes-
sor to IPv4.
The FRITZ!Box supports the new IPv6 web protocol and can
establish IPv6 connections:
• IPv6 support can be switched on in the FRITZ!Box user
interface.
• For simultaneous use of IPv6 and IPv4, the FRITZ!Box
supports Dual Stack and Dual-Stack Lite. This means
that the FRITZ!Box can communicate with both IPv4 and
IPv6 domains in the Internet.
• The FRITZ!Box supports native IPv6 and IPv6 with a tun-
nel protocol. Native IPv6 means that your Internet ser-
vice provider supports IPv6 directly on your line.

Configuring IPv6 on the Computer
You can establish connections in the IPv6 range of the Inter-
net only if IPv6 is installed and enabled on the computers in
your home network.
• IPv6 is already installed and enabled in the Windows 8,
Windows 7 and Windows Vista operating systems.
• IPv6 has been available in the Mac OS X operating sys-
tems since Mac OS 10.
12.10 Mobile Network: Replacing Faulty DSL
Internet access over the mobile telephone network can be set
up so that the mobile telephone connection is established
automatically whenever the DSL connection fails. This guar-
antees Internet access even when the DSL connection is fails.
A USB modem for mobile Internet access (LTE/UMTS/HSPA)
and a SIM card from a mobile communications provider are
required for this.
Here is how to set up the mobile telephone connection as a
substitute upon DSL failure:
1. Insert the USB modem in the USB port on the FRITZ!Box.
2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.
In the “Internet” menu, the sub-menu “Mobile Commu-
nications” is displayed.
3. Select the setting “Automatically enable the mobile con-
nection when the DSL connection is disrupted”.
4. Configure the settings for your Internet connection over
the mobile communications network. In the Help of the
FRITZ!Box user interface you can find detailed instruc-
tions.
Access to the Internet is now guaranteed, even when the DSL
connection fails.
As soon as the DSL connection is stable and available for at
least 30 minutes, the connection will be switched back to DSL.
The “Mobile Communications” menu is not available
until the UMTS/HSPA modem has been connected to the

LISP: FRITZ!Box as a LISP Router
12.11 LISP: FRITZ!Box as a LISP Router
LISP is a routing architecture which separates information
about location and identity. There are two IP addresses: one
for the location and one for the identity.
The FRITZ!Box can be configured as a LISP router.
• This chapter address system administrators.
• It presents a short introduction to LISP.
• You receive an overview about the possibilities for using
LISP.
• This section includes instructions on how to configure
the FRITZ!Box as a LISP router.
Definition and Components
LISP: Definition
LISP: Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol
IP protocol LISP is a protocol for the transmission of IP
packets.
IP address pair LISP uses IP address pairs:
• One IP address for identification, which is
called the EID (Endpoint Identifier). The
EID can be the IP address of a host or an
entire IP subnet.
• One IP address for the location, known as
the RLOC (Routing Locator). The RLOC is
the IP address of the LISP router.
Tunnel protocol LISP is a tunnel protocol.
A LISP packet consists of an internal IP packet
and an additional external header. The header
of the internal packet contains the EID; the ex-
ternal header contains the RLOC.
LISP: FRITZ!Box as a LISP Router
FRITZ!Box 7430 77
Properties of RLOC and EID
RLOC • specifies the location where the addressed network
(network segment or network device) is located
• is assigned by the Internet service provider
• is a public IP address
• is contained in the external header of the LISP packet
• can be an IPv4 address
• can be an IPv6 address
EID
• identifies a network (network segment or network
device)
• is assigned by the LISP provider
• is contained in the internal header of the LISP packet
• can be an IPv4 address
• can be an IPv6 address
• can be a public IP address
• can be a private, non-public IP address
FRITZ!Box 7430 78
LISP: FRITZ!Box as a LISP Router
Components of a LISP System
Possible Uses
• LISP is useful if technical or organization reasons make
it preferable to keep the same IP addresses, even when
you switch Internet service providers.
Mobility example: When you change locations, devices
do not lose their identity (host devices, VM).
• LISP is suitable for communication between IPv4 and
IPv6 networks.
• Transport of address families: IPv4 via IPv4, IPv4 via
IPv6, IPv6 via IPv6, IPv6 via IPv4
Example: The encapsulation of IPv6 packets in IPv4
headers allows IPv6 web sites to be connected over
IPv4.
Mapping system The mapping system is responsible for allo-
cating the EIDs to the RLOCs.
ETR (Egress Tunnel
Router)
The ETR accepts IP packets whose destination
IP address contained in the external header is
the ETR’s own RLOC. ETR unpacks the LISP
packets.
ITR (Ingress Tunnel
Router)
The ITR accepts IP packets from members of
the local IP network (EID network) and packs
them into LISP packets. The external header of
the LISP packet contains the RLOC of the des-
tination network (remote EID network) as the
destination address.
PETR (Proxy ETR) A PETR (Proxy ETR) is required for communica-
tion between LISP sites and non-LISP sites. On
the LISP side it works like a LISP router; on the
non-LISP side it works like a native IP router.
PITR (PROXY ITR) A PITR (Proxy ITR) is required for communica-
tion between LISP sites and non-LISP sites. On
the LISP side it works like a LISP router; on the
non-LISP side it works like a native IP router.
xTR xTR is what we call a component that is both
ETR and ITR. xTR is also known as a tunnel
endpoint or encapsulation endpoint.

FRITZ!Box Connects Network Devices
17 FRITZ!Box Connects Network Devices
All network devices connected with the FRITZ!Box comprise a network.
Network devices include, for instance, computers, game consoles and
smartphones. The devices can be connected with the FRITZ!Box by
cable or wirelessly. This chapter describes the network settings in the
FRITZ!Box and how you can change them. You will also learn how you
can change the IP settings for the computer in the most common oper-
ating systems.
17.1 Network Settings in the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box is delivered with preconfigured network set-
tings. According to these settings, all network devices con-
nected with the FRITZ!Box are located in a single network.

the mouse. The name of the network device. Clicking the de-
vice name opens the user interface of the HTTP application.
Network Devices: Settings
The settings described in the following section can be config-
ured for each network device individually.
Always Assigning the Same IP Address
For network devices there is the setting “Always assign this
network device the same IP address”.
This setting has the effect that the DHCP server of the
FRITZ!Box will assign the same IP address to the device every
time it connects to the network.
Starting the Computer—Wake on LAN
Wake on LAN is a function that allows a computer in the local
network to be started when it is accessed from the Internet.
For instance, you can access a computer using remote main-
tenance software, without wasting electricity by keeping the
computer switched on permanently.
The FRITZ!Box supports Wake on LAN both for IPv4 and for
IPv6 connections.
Requirements:
• The computer must support Wake on LAN.
• The computer must be connected with the FRITZ!Box via
network cable or via a FRITZ!Powerline device.
• For access from the Internet, the computer must be in
standby operation.

Reserved IP Addresses
The following IPv4 addresses cannot be assigned because
they are reserved for certain purposes:
The entire IP network 192.168.180.0 in the FRITZ!Box is re-
served for internal purposes.
IPv4 addresses from this network may not be assigned to the
FRITZ!Box.
Changing the IPv4 Address
In most home networks it is not necessary to change the IPv4
settings.
Yet there are situations in which it makes sense to adjust the
IPv4 settings of the FRITZ!Box. For instance, in the following
case:
• You have an existing local IPv4 network, one subnet with
several computers.
• Fixed IPv4 addresses are registered in the network set-
tings of the computer, and you do not want to or are not
permitted to change these addresses.
• You want to connect the FRITZ!Box to the local IPv4 net-
work in order to make the FRITZ!Box features available to
all of the computers in the IPv4 network.
IPv4 Address in Case of Emergency
The FRITZ!Box has a fixed IPv4 address that cannot be
changed. The FRITZ!Box always can be reached at this IPv4
address.
IP Address / Purpose Value
This IP address is used by the
FRITZ!Box itself
192.168.178.1

FRITZ!Box 7430 114
Network Settings in the FRITZ!Box
For instructions about how to handle the emergency IPv4 ad-
dress, see the section Opening the User Interface Using an
Emergency IP Address from page 158.
DHCP Server for IPv4
The FRITZ!Box has a DHCP server for the IPv4 range. The DHCP
server is enabled by default in the factory settings. The fol-
lowing range of IP addresses is reserved for the DHCP server
in the factory settings:
How the DHCP Server Works
Every time a network device connected with the FRITZ!Box is
started, the DHCP server assigns it an IPv4 address from the
IP address range of the DHCP server.
Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.
Assigning the IP addresses via the DHCP server ensures that
all of the network devices connected with the FRITZ!Box are
located in the same IP network.
The IPv4 settings of the network devices must have the “Ob-
tain an IP address automatically” option enabled. This is the
only way to receive the IP address from the DHCP server. For
more information, see the chapter Obtaining an IP Address
Automatically from page 117.
Fixed IPv4 Addresses When the DHCP Server Is Enabled
If you would like to configure fixed IPv4 addresses on individ-
ual computers connected with the FRITZ!Box even though the
DHCP server is enabled, please note the following:
• The IPv4 addresses must be from the IPv4 network of the
FRITZ!Box.
• The IPv4 addresses may not come from the address
range of the DHCP server.
• Each IPv4 address can be assigned only once.
IP address range reserved upon
delivery
192.168.178.20—
192.168.178.200
Network Settings in the FRITZ!Box
FRITZ!Box 7430 115
Changing the IP Address Range of the DHCP Server
If the DHCP server does not have enough IP addresses, you
can expand the address range.
Disabling the DHCP Server
You can disable the DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box.
• If you use a different DHCP server in your home network,
you must disable the DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box.
• If you want to manage the IP address assignments of all
devices in the home network yourself, you can disable
the DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box.
Please note that the FRITZ!Box must be located in the same IP
network as all of the device connected with it. Integrate the
FRITZ!Box in your network by adjusting the IP address of the
FRITZ!Box to your home network.
IPv6 Settings in the FRITZ!Box
The following settings options for IPv6 are found in the ad-
vanced view in the “Home Network / Network” menu on the
“Network Settings” page.
Additional IPv6 Routers in the Home Network
• IPv6 prefixes from other IPv6 routers
You can allow the network devices connected to the
FRITZ!Box to receive IPv6 prefixes announced by other
IPv6 routers in the local network.
• Also announce DNSv6 server via router advertisement
With this setting you specify that the FRITZ!Box announc-
es the local DNSv6 server in the local network via router
advertisement. Alternatively, the network devices can
identify the local DNSv6 server via DHCPv6.
IPv6 Settings
Click the “IPv6 Addresses” button to configure settings for
the IPv6 addresses in the local network.
FRITZ!Box 7430 116
Network Settings in the FRITZ!Box
Unique Local Addresses
Communication within the local network takes place via the
Unique Local Addresses (ULA). If no IPv6 Internet connection
is established, the network devices do not have a ULA and
communication between them is restricted. For this case you
can set the FRITZ!Box such that the network devices receive
the ULA from the FRITZ!Box.
DHCPv6 Servers in the Home Network
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with its own DHCPv6 server. The
DHCPv6 server of the FRITZ!Box is switched on by default.
The DHCPv6 server assigns the network devices their IPv6
settings. These settings are used instead of the data in the
router advertisement messages. The DNS server, IPv6 prefix-
es or IPv6 addresses can all be assigned by DHCPv6. Define
which IPv6 settings should be assigned by the DHCPv6 serv-
er.
Changing Network Settings
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Select the “Home Network / Network” menu.

Connecting USB Devices to the FRITZ!Box
FRITZ!Box 7430 119
18 Connecting USB Devices to the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box has a USB port to which you can connect various USB
devices. All network devices in the FRITZ!Box home network can use
these USB devices jointly and simultaneously.
This chapter describes how to share a printer in the network, which
USB devices can be used in your FRITZ!Box home network, and how to
use these devices safely.
18.1 Power Supply for USB Devices
You can connect USB devices with the following properties to
the FRITZ!Box:
• Some USB devices require more than one USB port for
operation, for instance, hard drives with a USB Y cable.
Connect this type of USB device to the FRITZ!Box using a
USB hub with its own power supply.
• The total current consumption of connected USB devices
without their own power supply may not exceed 500 mA.
Check the rating plates of the connected USB devices.
USB devices that exceed the total current consumption
of 500 mA can be connected to the FRITZ!Box using a
USB hub with its own power supply.
18.2 USB Devices on the FRITZ!Box
These USB devices can be connected to the FRITZ!Box:
• You can connect up to four USB storage media like hard
disks, USB flash drives or card readers.
• USB storage media must use the file systems EXT2, FAT,
FAT32 or NTFS. On storage media with the FAT and FAT32
file systems you can use files up to a size of 4 GB. In the
EXT2 and NTFS file systems there is no limit to the size of
files that can be used.
FRITZ!Box 7430 120
Using USB Devices Safely
• You can connect one standard USB printer or one all-in-
one device with scanner and fax function.
The complete range of functions available in all-in-one
printers is guaranteed only with the USB remote connec-
tion of the FRITZ!Box; see Sharing a USB Printer on
page 123.
• You can connect a USB hub to the FRITZ!Box and use up
to four USB devices at this hub.
You can use USB hubs with or without a separate power
supply. We recommend deploying a USB hub with its
own power supply if the USB devices to be connected ex-
ceed a total current consumption of 500 mA; see Power
Supply for USB Devices on page 119.
• You can connect a USB modem. With a USB modem the
FRITZ!Box can establish the Internet connection via the
mobile communications network (LTE/UMTS/HSPA); see
Configuring the Internet Connection for a Mobile Net-
work on page 45.
18.3 Using USB Devices Safely
Follow the instructions below about how to use USB devices
on your FRITZ!Box.
• The FRITZ!Box can not defend the USB memory from ex-
ternal influences. This means that voltage spikes or
drops, like those that occur during electrical storms, may
lead to data losses on connected USB storage media. We
recommend making regular backups of the USB memory
contents to avoid any losses.
• Whenever you want to remove USB devices from the
FRITZ!Box, go to the “Home Network / USB Devices” area
in the FRITZ!Box user interface to remove them safely
and avoid any loss of data.
Configuring Access Rights
FRITZ!Box 7430 121
18.4 Configuring Access Rights
You can protect the data on your USB storage from unautho-
rized access by securing the user interface of your FRITZ!Box
with a password. In the “System / FRITZ!Box Users” menu you
can
• configure a shared password that is requested every
time anyone in your home network accesses the
FRITZ!Box and the connected USB storage media.
• configure various FRITZ!Box users. You can configure a
password for each FRITZ!Box user and then specify
which connected USB storage media each user is al-
lowed to access.
A USB storage medium connected to the FRITZ!Box can be
reached in the home network by entering the shared
FRITZ!Box password. From the Internet you can reach the USB
storage medium only by logging in with your individual user
name and password.
Information on the user controls of your FRITZ!Box is present-
ed in the section Password Protection: Using FRITZ!Box Safely
from page 33.
18.5 Accessing USB Memory
The participants in the home network have various possibili-
ties for accessing the various storage media of the FRITZ!Box.
• Home network members can access the contents of con-
nected USB memory and all other memory of the
FRITZ!Box especially conveniently with FRITZ!NAS. For
this FRITZ!NAS offers a graphic interface. Read the sec-
tion Managing Memory with FRITZ!NAS on page 129 for
more information.
FRITZ!Box 7430 122
Enabling Energy-saving Mode for USB Hard Drives
• Participants in the home network can use FTP software
like FireFTP to exchange files among the FRITZ!Box stor-
age media and workplaces.
Alternatively, you can enter ftp://fritz.box
in the address
line of your Internet browser to access the storage me-
dia.
If you would like to use FTP software, see the documen-
tation of the software as well as the instructions in the
Help on the FRITZ!Box user interface.
• For access to media data like music, images and videos
available on the memory or on storage media of the
FRITZ!Box you can enable the FRITZ!Box media server.
Suitable playback devices like TV sets, web radios,
smartphones and the Windows Media Player can then
call up the data from the media server for streaming.
Playback devices to be used in connection with the me-
dia server must support the UPnP AV standard. The term
“DLNA” is often used to designate this support.
Enable the “Media Server enabled” function in the
FRITZ!Box user interface under “Home Network / Media
Server”.
18.6 Enabling Energy-saving Mode for USB Hard Drives
In the FRITZ!Box you can enable an energy-saving function for
USB hard drives connected to the FRITZ!Box. When the ener-
gy-saving function is enabled, connected USB hard drives will
be switched off when they are idle—as long as the hard drives
support the energy-saving function.
Enable the energy-saving function in the “Home Network /
USB Devices” menu in the FRITZ!Box user interface. You can
also test here whether your USB hard disk supports the ener-
gy-saving function.
Sharing a USB Printer
FRITZ!Box 7430 123
18.7 Sharing a USB Printer
You can connect a USB printer to the FRITZ!Box to make it
available to all participants in your home network.
You can either release the printer for sharing as a network
printer or use the FRITZ!Box USB remote connection software
to connect it with a computer.
Using a USB Printer as a Network Printer
Configure the USB printer as a network printer on the
FRITZ!Box if
• the participants in the home network are to be able to
use the printer jointly and simultaneously.
• the printer is to be used by computers that use an oper-
ating system other than Windows.
For information about how to configure a USB printer as a net-
work printer, see the section Configuring a USB Printer as a
Network Printer on page 124.
Using a USB Printer with FRITZ!Box USB Remote Connection
Configure the USB printer on the FRITZ!Box with the FRITZ!Box
USB remote connection if
• the USB printer is an all-in-one device (fax/printer/scan-
ner) and the entire range of functions is to be used.
• the USB printer is equipped with convenience features
like ink level display and you would like to use these.
• the USB printer uses bidirectional data exchange. In oth-
er words: Not only does the computer send data to the
printer, the printer also sends status messages to the
computer. This communication in both directions is typi-
cal of the “Windows printers” or “GDI printers” that work
only with special Windows device drivers.
For information about how to configure a USB printer with the
USB remote connection, continue reading from the section

Configuring MyFRITZ!
FRITZ!Box 7430 135
22.1 Configuring MyFRITZ!
The MyFRITZ! service can be used only with a MyFRITZ! ac-
count. Register your FRITZ!Box with this MyFRITZ! account.
Once your FRITZ!Box is registered with your MyFRITZ! account,
the FRITZ!Box determines the public IP address each time it is
changed and conveys it to the MyFRITZ! account. The
FRITZ!Box can be reached at this IP address in the Internet
from anywhere in the world. When you log in to MyFRITZ! you
will be forwarded to the FRITZ!Box using the IP address.
Creating a MyFRITZ! Account
To set up a MyFRITZ! account, use a computer that fulfills the
following requirements:
• The computer is connected with the Internet.
• You can access your e-mail on this computer.
Configure the MyFRITZ! account in the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face:
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28.
2. Select “Internet / MyFRITZ!”.
3. Select “Create a new MyFRITZ! account”.
4. Enter your e-mail address.
If you have already configured a user account under
“System / FRITZ!Box Users / Users”, see page 35 and en-
ter the e-mail address specified for your user account.
5. Assign a MyFRITZ! password that’s easy for you to re-
member. Also note the additional password tips on
page 31.
Note: When a password is defined it is displayed in clear
text. Once it has been saved, every time it is entered it
will be displayed encoded.

instructions in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Note: For security reasons, access to the FRITZ!Box from
the Internet is possible as a FRITZ!Box user. This means
you need a password-protected user account to use
MyFRITZ! from the Internet; see page 33.

Security with MyFRITZ!
FRITZ!Box 7430 139
Multiple FRITZ!Boxes
You can register multiple FRITZ!Boxes with one MyFRITZ! ac-
count.
• Every FRITZ!Box is registered with the MyFRITZ! account
over its own user interface.

22.3 Security with MyFRITZ!
For the following MyFRITZ! activities the HTTPS security proto-
col is used:
• setting up a MyFRITZ! account with myfritz.net
• registration of the FRITZ!Box with the MyFRITZ! account
• accessing the MyFRITZ! page of your FRITZ!Box over
myfritz.net
• accessing the user interface of the FRITZ!Box over
myfritz.net
and over the MyFRITZ!App.
The FRITZ!Box generates its own HTTPS certificate. Because
this certificate does not come from a certification authority
preconfigured in common browsers, you have to confirm in
your web browser or in the MyFRITZ!App that the connection
should be established nevertheless. Firefox and Internet Ex-
plorer will remember your confirmation and refrain from
showing any further warnings.
The HTTP protocol is used to update the IP address with the
MyFRITZ! web service each day. The password is never trans-
mitted as clear text.
For further details on the HTTPS and HTTP protocols, see the
section Access from the Internet via HTTPS, FTP and FTPS from
page 66.
