IPSEC VPN
VPN (virtual private network) tunnels
are used to establish a secure
connection to a remote network over
a public network. For example, VPN
tunnels can be used across the Internet
by an individual to connect to an office
network while traveling, or by two office
networks to function as one network.
The two networks set up a secure connection across the (normally) unsecure Internet by assigning VPN
encryption protocols.
Cradlepoint VPN tunnels use IPsec (Internet Protocol security) to authenticate and encrypt packets exchanged
across the tunnels. To set up a VPN tunnel with a Cradlepoint router on one end, there must be another device
(usually a router) that also supports IPsec on the other end.
IKE (Internet Key Exchange) is the security protocol in IPsec. IKE has two phases, phase 1 and phase 2. The
router has several different security protocol options for each phase, but the default selections will be
sufficient for most users.
The VPN tunnel status page allows you to view the state of the VPN tunnels. If a tunnel fails to connect to the
remote site, check the System Logs for more information. You may double click on a cell to directly edit that
information.
Click Add to configure a new VPN tunnel; click Edit to
make changes to an existing tunnel.
