setting, then Main mode will be unavailable, so Aggressive Mode will be used—unless the Remote Client is
Microsoft XP/2000 VPN client. For Microsoft XP/2000 VPN clients, then Aggressive Mode will be unavailable,
so Main mode will be used.
Compress (Support IP Payload compression Protocol (IP Comp)). The Router supports IP Payload Compression
Protocol, which is used to reduce the size of IP datagrams. If this feature is enabled, the Router will propose
compression when initiating a connection. If the responders reject this proposal, then the Router will not
implement compression. When the Router works as a responder, the Router will always accept compression
even when the Compress feature has not been enabled. Select Compress to support this protocol.
Keep-Alive. This feature helps maintain the connections of IPSec tunnels. Whenever a connection is dropped
and the drop is detected, then the connection will be re-established immediately. Select Keep-Alive to enable
this feature.
AH Hash Algorithm. The AH (Authentication Header) protocol describes the packet format and default
standards for packet structure. If AH is used as a security protocol, portions of the original IP header are used
to verify the integrity of the entire packet during the hashing process, so protection is extended forward into
the IP header. Select an algorithm, MD5 or SHA1. MD5 produces a 128-bit digest to authenticate packet data,
and SHA1 produces a 160-bit digest to authenticate packet data. Both ends of the VPN tunnel should use the
same AH Hash Algorithm.
NetBIOS Broadcast. Click the checkbox if you want NetBIOS traffic to pass through the VPN tunnel. By default,
the Router blocks these broadcasts.
