3.7.6 LAN to LAN
Here you can manage LAN-to-LAN connections by maintaining a table of connection
profiles. You may set parameters including specified connection direction (dial-in or
dial-out), connection peer ID, connection type (VPN including PPTP, IPSec Tunnel, and
L2TP by itself or over IPSec) and corresponding security methods, etc.
The router provides up to 32 profiles, which also means supporting 32 VPN tunnels
simultaneously. The following figure shows the summary table.
Set to Factory Default
Click to clear all indexes.
Name
Indicate the name of the LAN-to-LAN profile. The
symbol
???
represents that the profile is empty.
Status
Indicate the status of individual profiles. The symbol
V and X represent the profile to be active and
inactive, respectively.
Click each index to edit each profile and you will get the following page. Each LAN-to-LAN
profile includes 4 subgroups. If the fields gray out, it means you may leave it untouched. The
following explanations will guide you to fill all the necessary fields.
For the web page is too long, we divide the page into several sections for explanation.

Profile Name
Specify a name for the profile of the LAN-to-LAN
connection.
Enable this profile
Check here to activate this profile.
Call Direction
Specify the allowed call direction of this LAN-to-LAN profile.
Both
:-initiator/responder
Dial-Out
- initiator only
Dial-In-
responder only.
Always On or Idle Timeout Always On-
Check to enable router always keep VPN
connection.
Idle Timeout:
The default value is 300 seconds. If the
connection has been idled over the value, the router will drop
the connection.
Enable PING to keep alive
This function is to help the router to determine the status of
IPSec VPN connection, especially useful in the case of
abnormal VPN IPSec tunnel disruption. For details, please
refer to the note below. Check to enable the transmission of
PING packets to a specified IP address.
PING to the IP
Enter the IP address of the remote host that located at the
other-end of the VPN tunnel.
Enable PING to Keep Alive
is used to handle abnormal
IPSec VPN connection disruption. It will help to provide
the state of a VPN connection for router’s judgment of
redial.

Normally, if any one of VPN peers wants to disconnect
the connection, it should follow a serial of packet
exchange procedure to inform each other. However, if the
remote peer disconnect without notice, Vigor router will
by no where to know this situation. To resolve this
dilemma, by continuously sending PING packets to the
remote host, the Vigor router can know the true existence
of this VPN connection and react accordingly. This is
independent of DPD (dead peer detection).
ISDN
Build ISDN LAN-to-LAN connection to remote network. You
should set up Link Type and identity like User Name and
Password for the authentication of remote server. You can
further set up Callback (CBCP) function below. This feature is
useful for
i
model only.
PPTP
Build a PPTP VPN connection to the server through the
Internet. You should set the identity like User Name and
Password below for the authentication of remote server.
IPSec Tunnel
Build an IPSec VPN connection to the server through Internet.
L2TP with …
Build a L2TP VPN connection through the Internet. You can
select to use L2TP alone or with IPSec. Select from below:
None:
Do not apply the IPSec policy. Accordingly, the VPN
connection employed the L2TP without IPSec policy can be
viewed as one pure L2TP connection.
Nice to Have:
Apply the IPSec policy first, if it is applicable
during negotiation. Otherwise, the dial-out VPN connection
becomes one pure L2TP connection.
Must:
Specify the IPSec policy to be definitely applied on the
L2TP connection.
User Name
This field is applicable when you select ISDN, PPTP or L2TP
with or without IPSec policy above.
Password
This field is applicable when you select ISDN, PPTP or L2TP
with or without IPSec policy above.
PPP Authentication
This field is applicable when you select ISDN, PPTP or L2TP
with or without IPSec policy above. PAP/CHAP is the most
common selection due to wild compatibility.
VJ compression
This field is applicable when you select ISDN, PPTP or L2TP
with or without IPSec policy above. VJ Compression is used
for TCP/IP protocol header compression. Normally set to
Yes
to improve bandwidth utilization.
IKE Authentication
Method
This group of fields is applicable for IPSec Tunnels and L2TP
with IPSec Policy.
Pre-Shared Key
-Input 1-63 characters as pre-shared key.
Digital Signature (X.509)
- Select one predefined in the
X.509 Peer ID Profiles.
IPSec Security Method
This group of fields is a must for IPSec Tunnels and L2TP
with IPSec Policy.
Medium
Authentication Header (AH)
means data will be
authenticated, but not be encrypted. By default, this option is
active.

High (ESP-Encapsulating Security Payload)-
means
payload (data) will be encrypted and authenticated. Select
from below:
DES without Authentication
-Use DES encryption algorithm
and not apply any authentication scheme.
DES with Authentication-
Use DES encryption algorithm and
apply MD5 or SHA-1 authentication algorithm.
3DES without Authentication
-Use triple DES encryption
algorithm and not apply any authentication scheme.
3DES with Authentication-
Use triple DES encryption
algorithm and apply MD5 or SHA-1 authentication algorithm.
AES without Authentication
-Use AES encryption algorithm
and not apply any authentication scheme.
AES with Authentication-
Use AES encryption algorithm and
apply MD5 or SHA-1 authentication algorithm.
Advanced
Specify mode, proposal and key life of each IKE phase,
Gateway etc.
The window of advance setup is shown as below:
IKE phase 1 mode -
Select from
Main
mode and
Aggressive
mode. The ultimate outcome is to exchange security proposals
to create a protected secure channel.
Main
mode is more
secure than
Aggressive
mode since more exchanges are done
in a secure channel to set up the IPSec session. However, the
Aggressive
mode is faster. The default value in Vigor router is
Main mode.
IKE phase 1 proposal-
To propose the local available
authentication schemes and encryption algorithms to the VPN
peers, and get its feedback to find a match. Two combinations
are available for Aggressive mode and nine for
Main
mode.
We suggest you select the combination that covers the most
schemes.
IKE phase 2 proposal-
To propose the local available
algorithms to the VPN peers, and get its feedback to find a
match. Three combinations are available for both modes. We
suggest you select the combination that covers the most
algorithms.
IKE phase 1 key lifetime-
For security reason, the lifetime of
key should be defined. The default value is 28800 seconds.
You may specify a value in between 900 and 86400 seconds.
IKE phase 2 key lifetime-
For security reason, the lifetime of
key should be defined. The default value is 3600 seconds.
You may specify a value in between 600 and 86400 seconds.

Perfect Forward Secret (PFS)-
The IKE Phase 1 key will be
reused to avoid the computation complexity in phase 2. The
default value is inactive this function.
Local ID -
In
Aggressive
mode, Local ID is on behalf of the IP
address while identity authenticating with remote VPN server.
The length of the ID is limited to 47 characters.
Callback Function
(for I models only)
The callback function provides a callback service as a part of
PPP suite only for the ISDN dial-in user. The router owner
will be charged the connection fee by the telecom.
Require Remote to Callback-
Enable this to let the router to
require the remote peer to callback for the connection
afterwards.
Provide ISDN Number to Remote-
In the case that the
remote peer requires the Vigor router to callback, the local
ISDN number will be provided to the remote peer. Check
here to allow the Vigor router to send the ISDN number to
the remote router. This feature is useful for
i
model only.
Allowed Dial-In Type
Determine the dial-in connection with different types.
ISDN
Allow the remote ISDN LAN-to-LAN connection. You
should set the User Name and Password of remote dial-in user
below. This feature is useful for
i
model only. In addition, you
can further set up Callback function below.
