How do I configure Prestige VPN?

You can configure Prestige for VPN using SMT or Web configurator. Prestige 1 supports Web only.

How many VPN connections does Prestige support?

Prestige 1 supports 1 VPN connection. Prestige 10 supports 10 VPN connections. Prestige 50 supports 50 tunnels. Prestige 100 supports 100 tunnels.

What VPN protocols are supported by Prestige?

All Prestige series support ESP (protocol number 50) and AH (protocol number 51).

What types of encryption does Prestige VPN support?

Prestige supports 56-bit DES and 168-bit 3DES and AES.

What types of authentication does Prestige VPN support?

VPN vendors support a number of different authentication methods. Prestige VPN supports both SHA1 and MD5.

AH provides authentication, integrity, and replay protection (but not confidentiality). Its main difference with ESP is that AH also secures parts of the IP header of the packet (like the source/destination addresses), but ESP does not.

ESP can provide authentication, integrity, replay protection, and confidentiality of the data (it secures everything in the packet that follows the header). Replay protection requires authentication and integrity (these two go always together). Confidentiality

(encryption) can be used with or without authentication/integrity. Similarly, one could use authentication/integrity with or without confidentiality.

I am planning my Prestige-to-Prestige VPN configuration. What do I need to know?

First of all, both Prestige must have VPN capabilities. Please check the firmware version, V3.50 or later has the VPN capability.
