Prestige 2602RL-D3A Support Notes
Can the Prestige SUA handle IPsec packets sent by the VPN gateway behind Prestige?
Yes, the Prestige's SUA can handle IPsec ESP Tunneling mode. We know when packets go through SUA, SUA will change the source IP address and source port for the host. To pass IPsec packets, SUA must understand the ESP packet with protocol number 50, replace the source IP address of the IPsec gateway to the router's WAN IP address. However, SUA should not change the source port of the UDP packets which are used for key managements. Because the remote gateway checks this source port during connections, the port thus is not allowed to be changed.
How do I setup my Prestige for routing IPsec packets over SUA?
For outgoing IPsec tunnels, no extra setting is required. For forwarding the inbound IPsec ESP tunnel, A 'Default' server set in menu 15 is required. It is because SUA makes your LAN appear as a single machine to the outside world. LAN users are invisible to outside users. So, to make an internal server for outside access, we must specify the service port and the LAN IP of this server in Menu 15. Thus SUA is able to forward the incoming packets to the requested service behind SUA and the outside users access the server using the Prestige's WAN IP address. So, we have to configure the internal IPsec as a default server (unspecified service port) in menu 15 when it acts a server gateway.
