VPN Settings VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a private network established via the public network, generally via the Internet. However, the private network is a logical network without any physical links, so it is called Virtual Private Network. VPN, a technology which will not expose the private data to all users on the Internet, allows employees to securely access their company's intranet while traveling outside the office.

IPSec Settings IPsec (IP Security) is a set of services and protocols defined by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to provide high security for IP packets and prevent attacks. To ensure a secured communication, the two IPsec peers use IPsec protocol to negotiate the data encryption algorithm and the security protocols for checking the integrity of the transmission data, and exchange the key to data de-encryption.
Page 42
Enable: check it to enable the IPsec function. WAN: Specify the local WAN port for this Policy. The "Remote Gateway" of the remote router should be set to the IP address of this WAN port. Connection Name: Set a name for IPsec connection for identification. ...
Page 43
When X.509 is selected, please ensure that certificates of the local router and the remote router are the same. For settings of the certificate, see Certificates. When the Negotiation Type is Auto, the entire negotiation process will be divided into 2 periods: In Period 1, the two sides will negotiate to exchange security proposals, like integrity verification algorithm and encryption algorithm, and establish an ISAKMP (Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol) SA (Security Association) so that more info in Period 2 can be...
Page 44
Mode: Set the exchange mode for the negotiation in Period 1. The exchange mode must be identical with its remote one. Two modes are available here. In Main mode, the two sides exchange packets a lot. As this mode provides identification protection, it is suitable for higher identification protection.
Page 45
PFS: Select the PFS (Perfect Forward Security) to enhance security. PFS configurations on both sides should be identical. With PFS function, IPsec Server and Client negotiate to create a new key in Period 2. As it is independent of the key created in Period 1, this key can be secure even when the key in Period 1 is de-encrypted.
Page 46
As for descriptions of parameters on the page above, see Negotiation Type --- Auto. ESP Encryption Algorithm: Select ESP encryption algorithm for ESP security protocol. The following encryption algorithms are supported on this router. DES: DES (Data Encryption Standard) encrypts a 64-bit (the last 8-bit of 64-bit is used for parity check) block of plain text with a 56-bit key.
There is a company based in Place A, but has a branch office in Place B. Staff both in the headquarters and its branch need to share their internal resources securely. Assume that the VPN routers in Place A and Place B are SE3100 and verify that the two SE3100 can access the Internet successfully.

Security Protocol: Display the tunnel security protocols after the IPsec negotiation: ESP, AH or ESP+AH. VPN Passthrough In actual VPN application, NAT gateway may exist on its physical link. When packets pass by the NAT gateway, its IP address or port number will change. Thus, after the remote VPN tunnel has received packets, authentication failure occurs and packets will be dropped directly.

When malfunctions occur to the network, you can locate trouble spot of the network with this traceroute test. To implement Traceroute action, click Advanced Settings >...
Static Routing Static routing provides additional routing information to your router. Typically, you do not need to add static routes. However, when there are several routers in the network, you may want to set up static routing. Static routing determines the path of the data in your network. You can use this feature to allow users on different IP segments to access the Internet via this device.
Page 60
For example, your company‟s internal network and Internet are on different IP net segments and you want PCs on your LAN to access the Internet and your company internal network via this device. You can simply configuring static routes on this Router. The figure above depicts this application scenario.
Page 61
Step 2: Add a static route to WAN 1 (As the default WAN port is WAN 0, in this example, you only have to add a staic route to WAN 1). ❶ Click Advanced Settings > Static Routing and click Add to create a static routing rule. ❷...
❺ Next Hop: Enter the gateway of WAN 1 here. In this example, it is 192.168.80.1. ❻ Remark: Give a description for this rule. ❼ Click Save to apply your settings. Then your PCs in the LAN can access both the internal network of your company and the Internet. Port Forwarding Port forwarding is useful for web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, gaming, and other specialized Internet applications.
