QoS Settings

The QoS (Quality of Service) function allows you to differentiate your

network traffic and provide it with high-priority forwarding service.

The bandwidth gap between LAN and WAN may significantly degrade

the performance of critical network applications, such as VoIP, gaming,

and VPN. This QoS function allows you to classify traffic of applications

and provides them with differentiated services (Diffserv).

VPN

VPN

The Router has a Virtual Private Network (VPN) feature that provides a

secure link between remote users and the corporate network by

establishing an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure

data over the Internet. The Router supports three modes of VPN

operation:

■

IPSec (IP Security) — provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can

support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using

digital certificates for device authentication. When setting up an IPSec

connection between two devices, make sure that they support the

same encryption method.

Note: Enabling IPSec VPN disables pass-through to IPSec and L2TP over

IPSec Virtual Servers on the LAN. Pass-through outbound from clients on

the LAN to servers on the Internet is unaffected.

■

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) — provides a secure tunnel

for remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. It is not as secure

as IPSec but is easy to administer. PPTP does not support gateway to

gateway connections and is only suitable for connecting remote users.

Check that your ISP’s routers support this protocol before you use it.

Note: Enabling the PPTP Server disables PPTP pass-through to a Virtual

Server on the LAN. Pass-through outbound from clients on the LAN to

servers on the Internet is unaffected.

■

L2TP over IPSec — this is a combination of two protocols. L2TP is used

to authenticate a user, and IPSec is used to encrypt data. L2TP over

IPSec does not support gateway to gateway connections and is only

suitable for connecting remote users. Check that your ISP’s routers

support this protocol before you use it.

Note: Enabling L2TP over IPSec disables pass-through to IPSec and L2TP

over IPSec Virtual Servers on the LAN. Pass-through outbound from

clients on the LAN to servers on the Internet is unaffected.

Using the VPN Tunnel Configuration screen, you can add new IPSec, L2TP

over IPSec and PPTP connections, and to edit existing connections. When

adding or editing values on this screen remember that both ends of the

connection must contain the same information.
