Vpn Configuration - Corega COR-WLBAR-AA User Manual

4-13 Virtual Private Network (VPN) Settings
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows users to use the internet to make the equivalent of a direct connection (private network) between two offices. Private networks
should be extremely secure, therefore when using the internet to make a VPN, data encryption must be used to ensure a high level of data security.
The table shows all the current VPN Policies enabled on the router. If there are multiple policies, and traffic is covered by two or more policies, then the first matching policy
will be used.
• Enable: Use this checkbox to enable or disable a policy. This allows policies to be disabled without having to delete the policy.
• Name: Each policy has a unique name.
• Type: Policies can be created as either Manual or Auto. If a VPN is created as a Manual policy, then all settings including keys will need to be entered manually at both
ends of the VPN link. If a VPN is created as an Auto policy, then some settings will be generated automatically. Use of the Auto mode requires the use of IKE (Internet
Key Exchange) protocol to perform negotiations between the two VPN end points.
• Local: This is the IP address, or range of IP addresses for the local LAN.
• Remote: This is the IP address, or range of IP addresses for the remote LAN.
• ESP: This is the Encapsulating Security Payload. This specifies the encryption protocol used for the VPN data.
