PepVPN Settings
Handshake
Port
A
To designate a custom handshake port (TCP), click the custom radio button and enter the
port number you wish to designate.
Backward
Compatibility
Determine the level of backward compatibility needed for PepVPN tunnels. The use of the
Latest setting is recommended as it will improve the performance and resilience of
SpeedFusion connections.
Link Failure
Detection Time
The bonded VPN can detect routing failures on the path between two sites over each WAN
connection. Failed WAN connections will not be used to route VPN traffic. Health check
packets are sent to the remote unit to detect any failure. The more frequently checks are
sent, the shorter the detection time, although more bandwidth will be consumed.
When Recommended (default) is selected, a health check packet is sent every five
seconds, and the expected detection time is 15 seconds.
When Fast is selected, a health check packet is sent every three seconds, and the
expected detection time is six seconds.
When Faster is selected, a health check packet is sent every second, and the expected
detection time is two seconds.
When Extreme is selected, a health check packet is sent every 0.1 second, and the
expected detection time is less than one second.

Important Note
Peplink proprietary SpeedFusion
TM
uses TCP port 32015 and UDP port 4500 for establishing VPN connections. If
you have a firewall in front of your Pepwave devices, you will need to add firewall rules for these ports and protocols
to allow inbound and outbound traffic to pass through the firewall.
