About PPTP Tunnels

To set up a PPTP tunnel, you create a Connection Profile including the IP address and other relevant information for the remote PPTP partner. You use the same procedure to initiate a PPTP tunnel that terminates at a remote PPTP server or to terminate a tunnel initiated by a remote PPTP client.

PPTP configuration

To set up the router as a PPTP Network Server (PNS) capable of answering PPTP tunnel requests you must also configure the VPN Default Answer Profile. See “VPN Default Answer Profile” on page 10-85for more information.

PPTP is a Datalink Encapsulation option in Connection Profiles. It is not an option in device or link configuration screens, as PPTP is not a native encapsulation. Consequently, the Easy Setup Profile does not offer PPTP datalink encapsulation.

Note: The Netopia R910 Router has access to Connection Profiles for tunnelling purposes. If the PPP dialup kit is not installed, you cannot use PPP as a datalink encapsulation, and you will have access only to ATMP and PPTP. If the kit is installed you also have access to PPP.

Channel 4 (and higher) events, such as connections and disconnections, reported in the WAN Event Histories are VPN tunnel events.

To define a PPTP tunnel, navigate to the Add Connection Profile menu from the Main Menu.
