6.11 Configuring VPN Tunnels
The AP-5131 allows up to 25 VPN tunnels to either a VPN endpoint or to another AP-5131. VPN
tunnels allow all traffic on a local subnet to route securely through a IPSEC tunnel to a private
network. A VPN port is a virtual port which handles tunneled traffic.
When connecting to another site using a VPN, the traffic is encrypted so if anyone intercepts the
traffic, they cannot see what it is unless they can break the encryption. The traffic is encrypted from
your computer through the network to the VPN. At that point the traffic is decrypted.
