Receiving AURP connections

To control the acceptance of incoming AURP tunnels, select

Accept Connections From and choose Anyone or Configured Partners Only from the pop-up menu. If you choose Anyone, all incoming AURP connections will be accepted.

The more secure option is Configured Partners Only, which only accepts connections from recognized AURP partners (the ones you have set up).

Configuring AURP Options

In the AURP Setup screen, select Advanced Options and go to the AURP Options screen. Using AURP can cause a problem when two networks, one local and one remote, have the same network number. This may cause network routing ambiguities than can result in routing errors.
