groups of different prime key lengths. Group 1 is 768 bits, Group 2 is 1,024 bits and Group 5 is 1,536 bits. If
network speed is preferred, select Group 1. If network security is preferred, select Group 5.
Phase 1 Encryption
: There are two methods of encryption, DES and 3DES. The Encryption method determines
the length of the key used to encrypt/decrypt ESP packets. DES is 56-bit encryption and 3DES is 168-bit
encryption. Both sides must use the same Encryption method. 3DES is recommended because it is more secure.
Phase 1 Authentication
: There are two methods of authentication, MD5 and SHA. The Authentication method
determines a method to authenticate the ESP packets. Both sides must use the same Authentication method.
MD5 is a one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit digest.
SHA is a one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160-bit digest. SHA is recommended because it is more
secure, and both sides must use the same Authentication method.
Phase 1 SA Life Time
: This field allows you to configure the length of time a VPN tunnel is active in Phase 1. The
default value is
28,800
seconds.
Perfect Forward Secrecy
: If PFS is enabled, IKE Phase 2 negotiation will generate a new key material for IP
traffic encryption and authentication. If PFS is enabled, a hacker using brute force to break encryption keys is not
able to obtain other or future IPSec keys.
Phase 2 DH Group
: There are three groups of different prime key lengths. Group1 is 768 bits, Group2 is 1,024
bits and Group 5 is 1,536 bits. If network speed is preferred, select Group 1. If network security is preferred,
select Group 5. You can choose the different Group with the Phase 1 DH Group you chose. If Perfect Forward
Secrecy is disabled, there is no need to setup the Phase 2 DH Group since no new key generated, and the key of
Phase 2 will be the same with the key in Phase 1.
Phase 2 Encryptio
n: Phase 2 is used to create one or more IPSec SAs, which are then used to key IPSec
sessions. There are two methods of encryption, DES and 3DES. The Encryption method determines the length of
the key used to encrypt/decrypt ESP packets. DES is 56-bit encryption and 3DES is 168-bit encryption. Both sides
must use the same Encryption method. If users enable the AH Hash Algorithm in Advanced, then it is
recommended to select
Null
to disable encrypting/decrypting ESP packets in Phase 2, but both sides of the
tunnel must use the same setting.
Phase 2 Authentication
: There are two methods of authentication, MD5 and SHA. The Authentication method
determines a method to authenticate the ESP packets. Both sides must use the same Authentication method.
MD5 is a one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit digest. If users enable the AH Hash Algorithm in
Advanced, then it is recommended to select
Null
to disable authenticating ESP packets in Phase 2, but both sides
of the tunnel must use the same setting.

Phase 2 SA Life Time
: This field allows you to configure the length of time a VPN tunnel is active. The default
value is 3,600 seconds.
Preshared Key
: Character and hexadecimal values are acceptable in this field, e.g. “My_@123” or
“4d795f40313233.” The max entry of this field is 30-digit. Both sides must use the same Pre-shared Key. It’s
recommended to change Preshared keys regularly to maximize VPN security.

Advanced
For most users, the settings on the VPN page should be satisfactory. This device provides an advanced IPSec
setting page for some special users such as reviewers. Click the
Advanced
button to link you to that page.
Advanced settings are only for IKE with Preshared Key mode of IPSec.
Aggressive Mode
: There are two types of Phase 1 exchanges: Main mode and Aggressive mode.
Aggressive Mode requires half of the main mode messages to be exchanged in Phase 1 of the SA exchange. If
network security is preferred, select Main mode. If network speed is preferred, select Aggressive mode. When
Group VPN is enabled, it will be limited as Aggressive Mode. If you select Dynamic IP in Remote Client Type in
tunnel mode, it will also be limited as Aggressive Mode.
Compress (Support IP Payload compression Protocol (IP Comp)
The Router supports IP Payload Compression Protocol. IP Payload Compression is a protocol to reduce the size of
IP datagrams. If Compress is enabled, the Router will propose compression when initiating a connection. If the
responders reject this propose, the Router will not implement the compression. When the Router works as a
responder, the Router will always accept compression even without enabling compression.
Keep-Alive
: This mechanism helps to keep up the connection of IPSec tunnels. Whenever a connection is
dropped and detected, it will be re-established immediately.
AH Hash Algorithm
: AH (Authentication Header) protocol describes the packet format and the default standards
for packet structure. With the use of AH as the security protocol, protected is extended forward into IP header to
verify the integrity of the entire packet by use of portions of the original IP header in the hashing process. There
are two algorithms, MD5 and SHA1. MD5 produces a 128-bit digest to authenticate packet data and SHA1
produces a 160-bit digest to authenticate packet data.
NetBIOS broadcast:
Check the box to enable NetBIOS traffic to pass through the VPN tunnel. By default, RV082
blocks these broadcasts.

Dead Peer Detection (DPD):
When DPD is enabled, the RV082 will send the periodic HELLO/ACK messages to
prove the tunnel liveliness when both peers of VPN tunnel provide DPD mechanism. Once a dead peer has
detected, the RV082 will disconnect the tunnel so the connection can be re-established.
The Interval is the number of seconds between DPD messages. The default is DPD enabled, and default Interval is
10 seconds.

VPN Tab - PPTP Server
The PPTP Server is intended for users logging in remotely with Windows XP or 2000, using PPTP to create VPN
connections.
Enable PPTP Server
: Checking this box enables the PPTP Server.
IP Address Range
Enter the internal IP Address Range for remote users connecting to your Local Network. The Router supports up

Log Tab - System Log
The System Log screen allows to configure the Router’s log, keeping track of the Router’s performance.
Syslog
Enable Syslog
: Checking this box enables the Logging feature, called Syslog.
Syslog Server
: In addition to the standard event log, the Router can send a detailed log to an external Syslog
server. Syslog is an industry-standard protocol used to capture information about network activity. The Router’s
Syslog captures all log activity and includes every connection source and destination IP address, IP service, and
number of bytes transferred. Enter the Syslog server name or IP address in the Syslog Server field. Click the
Save Settings
button and then restart the Router for the change to take effect.
E-mail
Enable E-Mail Alert
: Checking this box enables E-Mail Alert, which are emailed log entries and alerts.
Mail Server
: If you wish to have any log or alert information E-mailed to you, then you must enter the name or
numerical IP address of your SMTP server. Your Internet Service Provider can provide you with this information.
Send E-mail To
: This is the E-mail address where the log files will be sent.
Log Queue Length (entries)
: This instructs the Router how often to email log entries by quantity of entries.
When the number of queues is reached (i.e. the queue length), the log is sent. The default length is 50 entries.
Log Time Threshold (minutes)
: This instructs the Router how frequently to email log entries by amount of time.
When the time threshold is reached, the log is sent. The default time is 10 minutes.
E-mail Log Now
: Clicking the
E-mail Log Now
button immediately sends the log to the address in the Send
E-mail to field.
Log Setting
Alert Log
You can receive alert logs for any of these events when you check its box on the screen: Syn Flooding, IP
Spoofing, Win Nuke, Ping of Death and Unauthorized Login Attempt.
