unneling

P

rotocol is a VPN protocol that will ensure a

direct connection to the server using an authentication process that

guarantees the data originated from the claimed sender and was not

damaged or altered in transit. Once connected to the VPN tunnel, it

seems to the user that the client computer is directly connected to the

internal network. To set up your L2PT connection, enter the data that was

provided to you by your ISP.

There are two ways to enable the router to become a L2TP client, one is

through assigning the router an IP address dynamically, which means that

the DHCP protocol will be implemented by the Router to automatically

configure the IP settings. The user may input the IP settings manually by

choosing the Static IP option above the configuring area. To configure the

router to be a L2TP client, complete the following fields and click the

Save

Settings

button.

See table on previous page for parameter description.

PPPoE Russia

Some PPPoE connections use a static IP route to the ISP in addition to

the global IP settings for the connection. This requires an added step to

define IP settings for the physical WAN port.

To configure a PPPoE Russia Internet connection, configure as previously

described for PPPoE connections on page 20 and add the WAN Physical

IP settings as instructed from the ISP.
