VPN Passthrough
VPN Passthrough allows VPN clients to pass through this router and connect to a
VPN endpoint and is enabled by default.
To open this page, select VPN > VPN Passthrough in the navigation tree.
To enable VPN Passthrough, check Enable for the allowed protocols:
•IPSec Passthrough—Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a suite of
protocols used to implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer.
•PPTP Passthrough—Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows the
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP network.
•L2TP Passthrough—Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is the method used to
enable Point-to-Point sessions by using the Internet at Layer 2.
PPTP Server
Up to 10 PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN tunnels can be enabled for
users who are running PPTP client software. For example, in Windows XP or 2000,
a user opens the Network Connections panel and creates a new connection. In the
wizard, the user selects the option to create a connection to the workplace by
using a Virtual Private Network connection. The user must know the WAN IP
address of this device. For more information, refer to the documentation or help
files for your operating system.
To open this page, select VPN > PPTP Server in the navigation tree.
To enable the PPTP server and allow PPTP VPN tunnels, check the Enable box
and enter the range:
Range Start and Range End—Range of LAN address to assign to the PPTP VPN
clients. The LAN IP address range for PPTP VPN clients should be outside of the
normal DHCP range of the router.
The Connection Table shows the tunnels in use. PPTP user accounts are added in
the User Management window (select Unassigned in the Group column).
