unique peer ID number in the Remote ID field.

Pre-shared Key

This optional field becomes available when Pre-shared Key is selected as the VPN

Authentication method, as explained above. Pre-shared Key defines the pre-shared

key used for this particular VPN connection. The VPN connection's session key will be

further protected by the pre-shared key. The connection will be up only if the pre-shared

keys on each side match. Click Hide / Show Passphrase to toggle passphrase

visibility.

Remote IP

Address / Host

Names (Optional)

Optionally, you can enter a remote peer’s WAN IP address or hostname(s) here. If the

remote client uses more than one address, enter only one of them here. Multiple

hostnames are allowed and can be separated by a space character or carriage return.

Dynamic-DNS host names are also accepted.

With this field filled, your access point will initiate connection to each of the remote IP

addresses until it succeeds in making a connection. If the field is empty, your access

point will wait for connection from the remote peer. Therefore, at least one of the two

VPN peers must specify this value. Otherwise, VPN connections cannot be established.

Layer 2 Bridging

When this check box is unchecked, traffic between local and remote networks will be IP

forwarded. To bridge the Ethernet network of an Ethernet port on a local and remote

network, select Layer 2 Bridging. When this check box is selected, the two networks

will become a single LAN, and any broadcast (e.g., ARP requests) or multicast traffic

(e.g., Bonjour) will be sent over the VPN.

Management

VLAN ID

This field specifies the VLAN ID that will be tagged to management traffic, such as AP-

to-AP controller communication traffic. A value of 0 indicates that no VLAN tagging will

be applied.

IP Address Mode

Choose Automatic or Manual. In automatic mode, your access point acquires an IP

from a DHCP server on the Ethernet segment. In manual mode, your access point uses

a user-specified IP address.

Address/Subnet

Mask

When using manual IP addressing (above), enter an IP address and subnet mask in

these fields.

Data Port

This field specifies the outgoing UDP port number for transporting VPN data. If Default

is selected, port 4500 will be used by default. Port 32015 will be used if port 4500 is

unavailable. If Custom is selected, you can input a custom outgoing port number

between 1 and 65535.
