Figure 44 VPN Screen
2In the Enable VPN section, select the Yes radio button for the connection methods you want to use.
IPSec must be enabled if you want to use L2TP over IPSec.
3To set up the Router for L2TP and PPTP, you must allocate IP addresses from the Router’s LAN for use with the protocol. The connections made by L2TP and PPTP will appear to come from these addresses. The addresses must be in a continuous range.
In the IP Address Pool for L2TP/PPTP Clients section, enter the first LAN address in the range in the Start Address text boxes, and the last address in the range in the End Address text boxes.
These addresses must be within the Router’s LAN subnet, and must not form part of the DHCP pool.
4The VPN Connections table displays the currently configured VPN connections. Refer to one of the following sections for details on how to set up or edit a VPN connection:
■“Adding an IPSec Connection” on page 67.
■“Adding an L2TP over IPSec Connection” on page 68.
