VPN Menu
The Virtual Private Network (
VPN
) menu (Figure 42) enables you to configure a connection between the CPE
and a VPN, e.g., to access a corporate network when telecommuting for work. You can enable a Layer 2
Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) gateway or a Layer 2 network connection to the VPN.

3.8.1 IPSec
The IP security (IPSec) network protocol suite is used between 2 communication points across the IP network.
The protocols provide data authentication, integrity, and confidentiality protection services. They are needed
for secure key exchange and key management between the two network entities.
The top of the IPSec window is where you can add one or more security policies (Figure 43). The status of
each policy you create will display in the lower half of the window.
