Atlantis Land A02-WRA4-54G manual VPN - IPSec, Local, Remote, Proposal

I-FLY WIRELESS ROUTER ADSL

VPN - IPSec

The router supports IPSec VPN to establish secure, end-to-end private network connections over a public networking infrastructure.

Connection Name: A user-defined name for the connection (e.g. “To Remote Lan or To Office LAN ”).

Local:

Local Network: Set the IP address, subnet or address range of the local network.

•Single Address: The IP address of the local host.

•Subnet: The subnet of the local network. For example, IP: 192.168.1.0 with netmask 255.255.255.0 specifies one class C subnet starting from 192.168.1.1 (i.e. 192.168.1.1 through to 192.168.1.254).

•IP Range: The IP address range of the local network. For example, IP: 192.168.1.1, end IP: 192.168.1.10

Remote:

•Secure Gateway Address (or hostname): The IP address or hostname of the remote VPN device that is connected and establishes a VPN tunnel.

•Network: Set the IP address, subnet or address range of the remote network.

Proposal:

•Proposal: Select the IPSec security method. There are two methods of checking the authentication information, AH (authentication header) and ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload). Use ESP for greater security so that data will be encrypted and authenticated.

Using AH data will be authenticated but not encrypted.

•Authentication: Authentication establishes the integrity of the datagram and ensures it is not tampered with in transmit. There are three options, Message Digest 5 (MD5), Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) or NONE. SHA-1 is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5, however it is slower.
