Layer 2 Bridging is an advanced feature, click the
icon next to PepVPN profile to activate it, then click
the box next to Layer 2 Bridging to see all configuration options.
Layer 2 Bridging
Layer 2 Bridging
A
When this check box is unchecked, traffic between local and remote networks will be IP
forwarded.
To bridge the Ethernet network of an Ethernet port on a local and remote network, select
this check box. When this check box is selected, the two networks will become a single
LAN, and any broadcast (e.g., ARP requests) or multicast traffic (e.g., Bonjour) will be sent
over the VPN.
The L2 bridging feature is hidden from the user interface by default. To enable this feature,
user has to click the hidden link at the upper right corner of the SpeedFusion
TM
Profile table.
Bridge port
A
This field specifies the port to be bridged to the remote site.
If you choose WAN X (internal: replace the X by the WAN port number) that WAN will be
disabled for WAN purposes. Instead, the WAN port will be dedicated to bridging with the
remote site. The LAN port will remain unchanged.
VLAN Tagging
A
This field specifies the VLAN ID with which the VPN's traffic should be tagged before
sending the traffic to the bridge port. If no VLAN tagging is needed, select No VLAN. To
define a new VLAN ID, click New... and input the VLAN ID. VLAN IDs that are not
referenced by any VPN profiles will be removed from the list automatically. Default: No
VLAN
STP
A
Checking this box enables Spanning Tree Protocol.
Default: Unchecked.
Preserve LAN
Settings Upon
Connected
A
The LAN port is chosen as the bridge port. Selecting this option preserves LAN settings
(e.g., LAN port IP address, DHCP server, etc.) when the Layer 2 VPN is connected.
Uncheck this option if the LAN IP address and gateway will use remote LAN settings.
Check this option if the LAN IP address and local DHCP server should remain unchanged
after the VPN is up.
If you choose not to preserve LAN settings when the VPN is connected, the device will not
act as a router, and most Layer 3 routing functions will cease to work.
Configure
A
Use this setting to specify how a management IP address is acquired for the bridge port in
the specified VLAN (if defined) when the Layer 2 bridge is connected. If you choose As
None, no IP address will be assigned to the bridge port for the Layer 2 connection.
