    4.6.5 VPN-IPSEC IPSEC Settings are settings that are used to create virtual private tunnels to remote VPN gateways or hosts. The tunnel technology supports data confidentiality, data origin authentication and data integrity of network information by utilizing encapsulation protocols, encryption algorithms, and hashing algorithms.
  • Page 34 Tunnel pass through this device. Netbios over IPSEC Enable Netbios protocol (My Network Places) between IPSEC Tunnels. Max. number of tunnels item Since VPN greatly degrades network throughput, the allowable maximum number of concurrent tunnels is limited. Be careful to set the value for allowing the number of tunnels can be created simultaneously.
  • Page 35 When using VPN Dynamic IP Setting, this VPN router can accept tunnel creation requests from more IPSec initiators whose IP address are dynamic except those with static IP address. By this way, the VPN router will not check VPN initiator’s IP information, so user can build VPN tunnel at the VPN router from any remote VPN router or host regardless of its IP information.
  • Page 36 value ranges from 300 seconds to 172,800 seconds. Encapsulation Protocol There are three protocols can be selected: ESP, AH and ESP+AH. pfs: Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), allow IKE to re-exchange a key for IPSec instead of direct use ISAKMP key as the IPSec key during phase 2 of IKE negotiation. The ISAKMP key is derived at the end of phase 1 of IKE negotiation.

    value ranges from 300 seconds to 172,800 seconds. Encapsulation protocol There are two protocols can be selected: ESP and AH. Local SPI SPI is an important parameter during hashing. Local SPI will be included in the outbound packet transmitted from WAN interface of local gateway. The value of local SPI should be set in hex formatted.

    4.7.2 Dynamic DNS To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use dynamic domain name service (DDNS). So that anyone wishing to reach your host only needs to know the name of it. Dynamic DNS will map the name of your host to your current IP address, which changes each time you connect your Internet service provider.

    4.7.4 Routing Table Routing Tables allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data grams. If you have more than one routers and subnets, you will need to enable routing table to allow packets to find proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other. Routing Table settings are settings used to setup the functions of static and dynamic routing.
  • Page 44: System Time

    So if, for example, the host wanted to send an IP data gram to 192.168.3.88, it would use the above table to determine that it had to go via 192.168.1.33 (a gateway), and if it sends packets to 192.168.5.77 will go via 192.168.1.55. Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
