Device Mode; Vpn Policies - NETGEAR D6200 User Manual

Device Mode

When the WiFi DSL modem router is in Router mode, this screen allows switching to Modem
mode, where the WiFi DSL modem router acts as a pure bridge or DSL modem.
Routing, firewall, wireless support, USB, and the traffic meter are not available in Modem
mode. A typical application is a small-to-medium business scenario where the WiFi DSL
modem router is used for DSL connectivity behind a carrier class router or firewall or security
device manager. When the WiFi DSL modem router is in Modem mode, this screen allows
switching back to Router mode with all of the standard features.

To switch the device mode:
1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Device Mode.
2. From the Device Mode list, select Router (Modem + Router) or Modem (Modem only).
3. Click Apply.

VPN Policies

Manage your VPN policies from the VPN Policies screen.
• Traffic covered by a policy is automatically sent through a VPN tunnel.
• Where traffic is covered by two or more policies, the first matching policy is used. In this
situation, the order of the policies is important. However, if you only have one policy for
each remote VPN endpoint, the policy order is not important.
• The VPN tunnel is created according to the parameters in the SA (security association).
• The remote VPN endpoint must have a matching SA, or else it refuses the connection.
