Configuring the Wireless-G Router

DPD will issue DPD packets (ISAKMP format) to query a remote peer, and wait for a reply to recognize that it is still alive. There are 3 auxiliary options: Detection Delay(s), Detection Timeout(s), and DPD Action for DPD.

Detection Delay(s)  You can indicate the interval between DPD query packets. The default value is 30 seconds.

Detection Timeout(s)  You can indicate the length of timeout when DPD cannot hear any DPD reply. The default value is 120 seconds.

DPD Action  When DPDTimeout expires, the DPD will take DPD Action to deal with the connection. You can select Wait for Response to still wait for remote peer response, or select Suspend Connection to stop passively recovering the connection or select Recover Connection.

If IKE failed more than _times, block this unauthorized IP for _ seconds  This feature is enabled by default. It enables the Router to block unauthorized IP addresses. Specify the number of times IKE must fail before the Router blocks that unauthorized IP address.

Anti-replay This protects the Router from anti-replay attacks, when people try to capture your authentication packets in an attempt to gain access. The feature is enabled by default.

commanded to start/stop connection here. VPN Summary can help an administrator to manage and examine all IPSec tunnels status.

Tunnel Name  The field displays the name of the tunnel.

Remote Gateway  The field displays the remote gateway. If the pre-configured type is IP Addr., the field displays the IP address of remote gateway. If the pre-configured type of remote gateway is Any, the field displays ANY. If the pre-configured type is FQDN, the field displays the FQDN string directly.

Remote Group  The field displays the remote peer that is designated for VPN communication after a IPSec VPN tunnel is established. If the pre-configured type of the remote group is IP Addr., the field displays the IP address of the remote peer. If the pre-configured type of the remote group is Subnet, the field displays the subnet type “IP Address/Mask”. If the pre-configured type of remote group is Host or Any, the field displays the “Host” or “Any” directly.

Local Group  The field displays the local peer that is designated for VPN communication after an IPSec VPN tunnel is established. If the pre-configured type of local group is IP Addr., the field displays the IP address of the local peer. If the pre-configured type of local group is Subnet, the field displays the subnet type “IP Address/ Mask”. If the pre-configured type of local group is Host, the field displays the “Host” directly.

Key Methods  The field displays the IPSec authentication and encryption key methods of the Key exchange Method that is followed with the setting value of the Password Forward Secrecy.

Stop  The Tunnel is Stopped.

D  The Tunnel is Disabled.
