L2TP Connection - Remote Access
Connection Type: Remote Access
or
LAN to LAN
Name:
A given name for the connection (e.g. “connection to office”).
Active:
This function activates or deactivates the L2TP connection. Check Active checkbox if you want
the protocol of tunnel to be activated and vice versa.
Note:
When the Active checkbox is checked, the function of Edit and Delete will not be available.
Type:
Check
Dial Out
if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a remote VPN server,
e.g. your office server), check
Dial In
operates as a VPN server.
When configuring your router as a Client, enter the remote
Server IP
Address
(or Hostname)
you wish to connection to.
When configuring your router as a server, enter the
Private IP Address Assigned to Dial in
User
address.
Username:
If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the username provided by your Host. If you are a
Dial-In user (server), enter your own username.
Password:
If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host. If you are a
Dial-In user (server), enter your own password.
Authentication Type:
Default is
Auto
if you want the router to determine the authentication type to use,
or else manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password
Authentication Protocol) if you know which type the server is using (when acting as a client), or else the
authentication type you want clients connecting to you to use (when acting as a server). When using PAP,
the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows
for challenges at different periods to ensure that the client has not been replaced by an intruder.
Tunnel Authentication:
This enables router to authenticate both the L2TP remote and L2TP host. This is
only valid when L2TP remote supports this feature.
Secret:
The secure password length should be 16 characters which may include numbers and
characters.
Active as default route
: Commonly used by the
Dial-out
connection which all packets will route through
the VPN tunnel to the Internet; therefore, active the function may degrade the Internet performance.
