Network Interface | Tunnels
This chapter describes the configuration of VPN tunnels. VPN tunnels can be used to secure
management and AAA traffic between the hotspot network and the network operation center of the
operator.
The Gemtek Systems Access Controllers support PPTP and GRE tunnels. Furthermore PPP (Point-
to-Point Protocol) can be use to authenticate the AC to a authentication server and to assign IP
settings to the WAN port of the AC.
Network Interface | Tunnels | PPPoE/PPTP/GRE
Use the
network interface | tunnels | PPPoE/PPTP/GRE
menu to connect to ISP via PPTP, PPPoE
or GRE tunnel. All traffic will be sent via this tunnel.
Default gateway specified in
network interface | configuration
page will not be used, because all
Internet traffic will be sent/received via the specified PPTP, PPPoE or GRE server (tunnel).
By default no services are available on the controller:
