VPN
Linksys
Aggressive Mode
:
Adopted by remote devices to enhance the
security control if dynamic IP is used for
connection.
Compress
(Support
IP
Payload
Compression
Protocol (IP Comp)):
Reduces the size of IP datagrams. The
router will compress IP datagram size when
initiating a tunnel. When the router works as a
responder, it will always accept compression.
Keep-Alive:
The router will keep this VPN connection
when this function is enabled. Used to
connect the remote node
and headquarters
or used for the remote dynamic IP address.
AH Hash Algorithm:
Enables
the
router
to
authenticate
IP
header to verify the integrity of the packets
transmitted through the tunnel.
NetBIOS Broadcast:
Ensures the passage of NetBIOS broadcast
packets. This facilitates the easy connection
with other Microsoft network, but it also
increases the amount of
traffic using this
VPN tunnel.
NAT Traversal:
Allows
IPSec
traffic
to
pass
through
devices that don’t support IPSec packets.
Recommended if your router is behind a
NATgateway.
Dead Peer Detection (DPD):
The router will regularly transmit HELLO/ACK
message packets to detect whether there is a
connection between the two ends of the VPN
tunnel. If one end is disconnected, the device
will disconnect the tunnel automatically and
then create a new connection. Users can
define the transmission time for each DPD
message packet.
