OpenVPN server set-up
•
Select the « Add » button located just below the VPN server table
“Port number” & “protocol” parameters :
Select the port Nr and the type of level 3 protocol used to transport OpenVPN.
Attention : The port number value must be different from the one used by remote users.
“VPN network address” & “VPN network netmask” parameters :
The OpenVPN server router assigns automatically an IP address to the VPN client router.
That VPN IP address must not be confused with the WAN interface IP address.
Leave the default values 172.16.0.0 and 255.255.0.0
“Connection death time-out” parameter :
A control message (also called Keep-alive message) is sent periodically by the VPN server router to make
sure that the VPN must be left active.
This parameter defines the period of the control messages.
As a consequence, it sets the maximum amount of time a VPN connection will stay established before being
cleared if no response to the VPN control message is received from the remote router.
Remark :
