Getting Started
Thank you for choosing the Cisco RV32x router. This chapter includes information
to help you get started using your device.
Using the Getting Started Window
The default settings are sufficient for many small businesses. Network demands or
your Internet Service Provider (ISP) might require modification of the settings. To
use the web interface, you need a PC with Internet Explorer (version 6 and higher),
Firefox, or Safari (for Mac).
To launch the web interface:
STEP 1 Connect a PC to a numbered LAN port on the device. If the PC is configured to
become a DHCP client, an IP address in the 192.168.1.x range is assigned to the
PC.
STEP 2 Start a web browser.
STEP 3 In the address bar, enter the default IP address of the device, 192.168.1.1. The
browser might issue a warning that the web site is untrusted. Continue to the web
site.
STEP 4 When the login page appears, enter the default user name cisco and the default
password cisco (lowercase).
STEP 5 Click Login. The System Summary page appears. Check the Port Activity to see
if a WAN connection is enabled. If not, continue to the next step.
STEP 6 To use the setup wizard to configure your Internet connection, click Setup Wizard
on the System Summary page. Or click Wizard in the navigation tree and in the
Basic Setup section, click Launch Now. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If your web browser displays a warning message about the pop-up window, allow
the blocked content.
STEP 7 To configure other settings, use the links in the navigation tree.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you have trouble connecting to the Internet or the web-based web interface:
Verify that your web browser is not set to Work Offline.
Check the local area network connection settings for your Ethernet adapter.
The PC should obtain an IP address through DHCP. Alternatively, the PC can
have a static IP address in the 192.168.1.x range with the default gateway
set to 192.168.1.1 (the default IP address of the device).
Verify that you entered the correct settings in the Wizard to set up your
Internet connection.
Reset the modem and the device by powering off both devices. Next,
power on the modem and let it sit idle for about 2 minutes. Then power on
the device. You should now receive a WAN IP address.
If you have a DSL modem, ask your ISP to put the DSL modem into bridge
mode.
Features of the User Interface
The user interface is designed to make it easy for you to set up and manage your
device.
Navigation
The major modules of the web interface are represented by buttons in the left
navigation pane. Click a button to view more options. Click an option to open a

Setting Failover and Recovery
While both an Ethernet and mobile network link might be available, only one
connection at a time can be used to establish a WAN link. Whenever one WAN
connection fails, the device attempts to bring up another connection on another
interface. This feature is called Failover. When the primary WAN connection is
restored, it reverts to that path and drops the backup connection. This feature is
called Recovery.
STEP 1 To display the Failover & Recovery window, click Setup > Network.
STEP 2 Select a USB port and click Edit. The Network window appears.
STEP 3 Click the USB Failover tab, and enter the following:
Operational ModeWhen an Ethernet WAN link goes down, the device
attempts to bring up the mobile network link on the USB interface. Configure
failover behavior:
- (3G/4G) Failover Hot Standby—A lost Ethernet WAN port connection
redirects the WAN traffic over the 3G/4G USB link. The USB dongle is
powered on while on standby.
- (3G/4G) Failover Cold Standby—A lost Ethernet WAN port connection
redirects the WAN traffic over the 3G/4G USB link. The USB dongle is
powered off while on standby.
- Primary Mode—The 3G/4G link is used as the primary WAN connection.
Signal Quality—Indicates the signal strength between the 3G/4G USB
dongle and the access point. Click Refresh to update the reading.
STEP 4 To prevent data overages, select a Charge Count. Traffic (KB) tracks data volume
in kilobytes sent or received over the USB link. Time (min) counts the minutes 3G/
4G connection is active.
If you choose Traffic (KB), enter the following:
- Premium—Cost in dollars for a given volume of data.
- Extra Charge—Cost in dollars per kilobyte of data if a given volume is
exceeded.
- Stop connection...—Check to enable dropping the connection when the
volume exceeds the given volume.
If you choose Time (min), enter the following:
- Premium—Cost in dollars for a given period of time.

(Port) Forwarding
Port forwarding allows public access to services on network devices on the LAN
by opening a specific port or port range for a service, such as FTP. Port triggering
opens a port range for services such as Internet gaming that use alternate ports to
communicate between the server and the LAN host.
To open the port forwarding page, click Setup > Forwarding.
Configuring Port Forwarding
When users make requests for services on your network, the device forwards
those requests to your servers based on the port forwarding parameters. Any
services not specified are denied access. For example, when port number 80
(HTTP) is forwarded to the IP address 192.168.1.2, all HTTP requests on the
interface are forwarded to 192.168.1.2. All other traffic is denied, unless
specifically allowed by another entry.
Use this function to establish a web server or FTP server. Make sure that you enter
a valid IP address. (To run an Internet server, it might be necessary to use a static
IP address.) For added security, outside users are able to communicate with the
server, but they are not allowed to connect to network devices.

Port Address Translation
Port Address Translation (PAT) is an extension of Network Address Translation
(NAT) that permits multiple devices on a LAN to be mapped to a single public IP
address to conserve IP addresses.
PAT is similar to port forwarding except that an incoming packet with destination
port (external port) is translated to a packet different destination port (an internal
port). The Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns a single IP address to the edge
device. When a computer logs on to the Internet, this device assigns the client a
port number that is appended to the internal IP address, giving the computer a
unique IP address.
If another computer logs on the Internet, this device assigns it the same public IP
address, but a different port number. Although both computers are sharing the
same public IP address, this device knows which computer to send its packets,
because the device uses the port numbers to assign the packets the unique
internal IP address of the computers.

Setting Up One-to-One NAT
One-to-one NAT creates a relationship that maps a valid WAN IP address to LAN IP
addresses that are hidden from the WAN (Internet) by NAT. This protects the LAN
devices from discovery and attack.
For best results, reserve IP addresses for the internal resources that you want to
reach through one-to-one NAT.
You can map a single LAN IP address or a range of IP addresses to an external
range of WAN IP addresses of equal length (for example, three internal addresses
and three external addresses). The first internal address is mapped to the first
external address, the second IP internal IP address is mapped to the second
external address, and so on.

in avoiding network failures and blockages.
To configure IPv4 dynamic routing by using Routing Information Protocol (RIP), click
the IPv4 tab.
To configure IPv6 dynamic routing by using Routing Information Protocol next
generation (RIPng), click the IPv6 tab.
Configuring IPv4 Dynamic Routing
STEP 1 Choose the Working Mode:
Gateway—Choose this mode if this device is hosting the network
connection to the Internet. This is the default setting.
Router—Choose this mode if the device is on a network with other routers
and another device is the network gateway to the Internet or this network is
not connected to the Internet. In Router mode, Internet connectivity is
available to the network devices only if you have another router that
functions as the Gateway. Since firewall protection is provided by the
gateway, disable this device firewall.
STEP 2 Enable RIP to allow this device to exchange its routing information automatically
with other routers, and to dynamically adjust its routing tables as network changes
occur. The default setting is Disabled. If you enable this feature, also configure the
following settings:
Receive RIP versions—Select the RIP protocol for receiving network data:
None, RIPv1, RIPv2, or Both RIP v1 and v2.
RIPv1 is a class-based routing version. It does not include subnet
information and therefore does not support variable length subnet masks
(VLSM). RIPv1 also lacks support for router authentication, making it
vulnerable to attacks. RIPv2 carries a subnet mask and supports password
authentication security.
Transmit RIP versions—Select the RIP protocol for transmitting network
data: None, RIPv1, RIPv2 - Broadcast, or RIPv2 - Multicast.
RIPv2 - Broadcast (recommended) broadcasts data in the entire subnet.
Setup

DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that is used to
configure network devices to communicate on an IP network. A DHCP client uses
the DHCP protocol to acquire configuration information, such as an IP address, a
default route, and one or more DNS server addresses from a DHCP server. The
DHCP client then uses this information to configure its host. Once the configuration
process is complete, the host is able to communicate on the Internet.
The DHCP server maintains a database of available IP addresses and
configuration information. When it receives a request from a client, the DHCP
server determines the network to which the DHCP client is connected, and
allocates an IP address or prefix appropriate for the client, and sends configuration
information appropriate for that client.
The DHCP server and DHCP client must be connected to the same network link. In
larger networks, each network link contains one or more DHCP relay agents.
These DHCP relay agents receive messages from DHCP clients and forward them
to DHCP servers. DHCP servers send responses back to the relay agent, and the
relay agent then sends these responses to the DHCP client on the local network
link.
DHCP servers typically grant IP addresses to clients for a limited interval called a
lease. DHCP clients are responsible for renewing their IP address before that
interval has expired, and must stop using the address once the interval has
expired, if they have not been able to renew it.
DHCP is used for IPv4 and IPv6. While both versions serve the same purpose, the
details of the protocol for IPv4 and IPv6 are sufficiently different that they should
be considered separate protocols.

DHCP Setup
DHCP Setup configures DHCP for IPv4 or IPv6. It also allows some devices to
download their configuration from a TFTP server. When a device starts, if it does
not have both the IP address and TFTP server IP address pre-configured, it sends
a request with Option 66, 67, and 150 to the DHCP server to obtain this information.
DHCP Option 150 is Cisco proprietary. The IEEE standard that similar to this
requirement is Option 66. Like Option 150, Option 66 is used to specify the Name
of the TFTP server. Option 67 provides the boot file name.
Option 82 (DHCP relay agent information option) enables a DHCP relay agent to
include information about itself when forwarding client-originated DHCP packets
to a DHCP server. The DHCP server can use this information to implement IP
addressing or other parameter-assignment policies.
To open this page, select DHCP > DHCP Setup.
To set up DHCP IPv4, click the IPv4 tab. To set up DHCP IPv6, click the IPv6 tab.

Using the Static IP List to Block Devices
The Static IP list can be used to control access to your network.
To block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have the correct IP
address:
Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address—Check this box to
prevent a device from accessing your network if its IP address has been
changed. For example, if you assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.100
and someone configures the device to use 192.168.149, the device is not
allowed to connect to your network. This discourages users from changing
their device IP addresses without your permission. Uncheck the box to
allow access regardless of the current IP address assignment.
Block MAC address not on the list—Check this box to block access from
devices that are not included in the Static IP list. This prevents unknown
devices from accessing your network. Uncheck the box to allow access by
any device that is configured with an IP address in the correct range.
DNS Local Database
Domain Name Service (DNS) matches a domain name to its routable IP address.
You can set up a DNS Local Database that enables the device to act as a local DNS
server for commonly used domain names. Using a local database might be faster
than using an external DNS server. If a requested domain name is not found in the
local database, the request is forwarded to the DNS server that is specified on the
Setup Network >WAN Setting page.
If you enable this feature, you also must configure the client devices to use the
device as the DNS server. By default, Windows computers are set to obtain a DNS
server address automatically from the default gateway.
To change the TCP/IP connection settings, for example, on a PC running Windows,
go to the Local Area Connection Properties > Internet Protocol > TCP/IP
Properties window. Choose Use the following DNS server address, and enter
the LAN IP address of the router as the Preferred DNS Server. For more
information, refer to the documentation for the client that you are configuring.

Router Advertisement (IPv6)
The RADVD (Router Advertisement Daemon) is used for IPv6 auto-configuration
and routing. When enabled, messages are sent by the router periodically and in
response to solicitations. A host uses the information to learn the prefixes and
parameters for the local network. Disabling this feature effectively disables auto-
configuration, requiring manual configuration of the IPv6 address, subnet prefix,
and default gateway on each device.
This page is available if you enabled Dual-Stack IP on the Setup Network page. If
you did not do so, a message appears when you try to open this page.
To open this page, select DHCP > Router Advertisement in the navigation tree.
To Enable Router Advertisement, check the box and complete the other fields:
Advertise Mode—Choose one of the following options:
- Unsolicited Multicast—Send Router Advertisement messages to all
interfaces in the multicast group. This option is the default setting. Also
enter the Advertisement Interval; the interval at which Router
Advertisement messages are sent. Enter any value between 10 and
1800 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
- Unicast only—Send Router Advertisement messages only to well-
known IPv6 addresses.

RA Flags—Determines whether or not hosts can use DHCPv6 to obtain IP
addresses and related information. The options are:
- Managed—Hosts use an administered, stateful configuration protocol
(DHCPv6) to obtain stateful addresses and other information through
DHCPv6.
- Other—Uses an administered, stateful configuration protocol (DHCPv6)
to obtain other, non-address information, such as DNS server addresses.
Router Preference—High, Medium, or Low preference metric is used in a
network topology where multi-homed hosts have access to multiple
routers. This metric helps a host to choose an appropriate router. If two
routers are reachable, the one with the higher preference is chosen. These
values are ignored by hosts that do not implement router preference. The
default setting is High.
MTU—Size of the largest packet that can be sent over the network. The
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is used in Router Advertisement
messages to ensure that all nodes on the network use the same MTU value
when the LAN MTU is not well-known. The default setting is1500 bytes,
which is the standard value for Ethernet networks. For PPPoE connections,
the standard is 1492 bytes. Unless your ISP requires a different setting, this
setting should not be changed.
Router Lifetime—Time in seconds that the Router Advertisement
messages exist on the route. The default is 3600 seconds.
To add a new subnet, click Add and enter an IPv6 Address, Prefix Length, and
Lifetime.

Backup and Restore
Configuration files can be imported, exported, and copied. The router has two
managed configuration files, startup and mirror. The device loads the startup file
from memory when it boots up into the running configuration and copies the
startup file to the mirror file. Thus, the mirror file contains the last known valid
configuration.
If the Startup configuration file is corrupted or fails for any reason, the mirror
configuration file is used. The router automatically copies the startup configuration
to the mirror configuration after 24 hours of running in stable condition (no reboots
and no configuration changes within the 24-hour period).
Restoring the Settings from a Configuration File
To restore the startup configuration from a file previously saved to a PC or USB

Firewall
The primary objective of a firewall is to control the incoming and outgoing network
traffic by analyzing the data packets and determining whether it should be
allowed through or not, based on a predetermined rule set. A network firewall
builds a bridge between an internal network that is assumed to be secure and
trusted and another network, usually an external (inter)network such as the
Internet that is assumed not to be secure and untrusted.
General
General firewall controls manage the features typically used by Internet browsers
and applications.
To open this page, select Firewall > General in the navigation tree.
Enabling Firewall Features
To enable the Firewall, check Enable. The following firewall features can be
enabled or disabled as needed:
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection)—Monitors the state of network
connections (such as TCP streams, UDP communication) traveling across it.
The firewall distinguishes legitimate packets for different types of
connections. Only packets matching a known active connection are allowed
by the firewall; others are rejected.
DoS (Denial-of-service )—Detects attempts to cause a server overload. In
general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted
computer(s) to reset, or consuming its resources so that it can no longer
provide its intended service or obstructing the communication media
between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer
communicate adequately.
Block WAN Request—Drops TCP requests and ICMP packets.

Remote Management—Allows remote management of the device when
enabled. The port is 443 by default. It can be changed to any user-defined
port. The string will be https://<wan-ip>:<remote-management-port>
Multicast Pass ThroughAllows multicast messages to pass through the
device.
HTTPS—Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure is a communications protocol
for secure communication over a computer network, with especially wide
deployment on the Internet.
SIP ALG—Application layer gateway that augments a firewall or NAT. It
allows customized NAT traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to
support address and port translation for SIP control/data protocols.
UPnP—Universal Plug and Play is a set of networking protocols that
permits network devices, such as personal computers, printers, Internet
gateways, Wi-Fi access points, and mobile devices, to seamlessly discover
each other's presence on the network and establish functional network
services for data sharing and communications.
SSH—Secure Shell (SSH) is a network protocol that provides
administrators with a secure way to access a remote computer. SSH is
widely used by network administrators for managing systems and
applications remotely, allowing them to log in to another computer over a
network, execute commands and move files from one computer to another.
Remote SSH—Remote secure shell is a method for secure remote login
from one computer to another. It provides several alternative options for
strong authentication, and it protects the communications security and
integrity with strong encryption.

VPN
A VPN is a connection between two endpoints in different networks that allows
private data to be sent securely over a shared or public network, such as the
Internet. This tunnel establishes a private network that can send data securely by
using industry-standard encryption and authentication techniques to secure the
data sent.
Summary
This feature displays general information about the VPN tunnel settings. The
device supports up to 100 tunnels. The Virtual IP Range is reserved for EasyVPN
users or VPN clients that connect to this device with the Mode Configuration
option (described in Advanced Settings for IKE) enabled.
To open this page, select VPN > Summary in the navigation tree.
To set a range of virtual IP addresses to be used for VPN tunnels, click Edit and
enter the following parameters:
Range Start and Range End—Starting and ending range of IP addresses
used for VPN tunnels.
DNS Server 1 and DNS Server 2—Optional IP address of a DNS server. If
you enter a second DNS server, the device uses the first DNS server to
respond. Specifying a DNS server can provide faster access than using a
DNS server that is dynamically assigned. Use the default setting of 0.0.0.0 to
use a dynamically assigned DNS server.
WINS Server1 and WINS Server 2—Optional IP address of a WINS server.
Windows Internet Naming Service resolves NetBIOS names to IP
addresses. If you do not know the IP address of the WINS server, use the
default, 0.0.0.0.

Gateway to Gateway
In a site-to-site or gateway-to-gateway VPN, the local router at one office connects
to a remote router through a VPN tunnel. Client devices can access network
resources as if they were all at the same site. This model can be used for multiple
users at a remote office.
To open this page, select VPN > Gateway to Gateway in the navigation tree.
A successful connection requires that at least one of the routers to be identifiable
by a static IP address or a Dynamic DNS hostname. Alternatively, if one router has
only a dynamic IP address, you can use any email address as authentication to
establish the connection.
The two ends of the tunnel cannot be on the same subnet. For example, if the
Site A LAN uses the 192.168.1.x/24 subnet, Site B can use 192.168.2.x/24.

IPSec Setup
For encryption to be successful, the two ends of a VPN tunnel must agree on the
methods of encryption, decryption, and authentication. Enter exactly the same
settings on both routers.
Enter the settings for Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 establishes the preshared
keys to create a secure authenticated communication channel. In Phase 2, the IKE
peers use the secure channel to negotiate Security Associations on behalf of
other services such as IPSec. Be sure to enter the same settings when configuring
other router for this tunnel.
Phase 1 / Phase 2 DH Group—DH (Diffie-Hellman) is a key exchange
protocol. There are three groups of different prime key lengths: Group 1 -
768 bits, Group 2 - 1,024 bits, and Group 5 - 1,536 bits. For faster speed and
lower security, choose Group 1. For slower speed and higher security,
choose Group 5. Group 1 is selected by default.
Phase 1 / Phase 2 Encryption—Method of encryption for this phase: DES,
3DES, AES-128, AES-192, or AES-256. The method determines the length of
the key used to encrypt or decrypt ESP packets. AES-256 is recommended
because it is more secure.
Phase 1 / Phase 2 Authentication—Method of authentication for this
phase: MD5 or SHA1. The authentication method determines how the ESP
(Encapsulating Security Payload Protocol) header packets are validated.
MD5 is a one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit digest. SHA1 is
a one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160-bit digest. SHA1 is
recommended because it is more secure. Make sure that both ends of the
VPN tunnel use the same authentication method.
Phase 1 / Phase 2 SA Life Time—Length of time a VPN tunnel is active in
this phase. The default value for Phase 1 is 28800 seconds. The default
value for Phase 2 is 3600 seconds.

Perfect Forward SecrecyWhen Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) is
enabled, IKE Phase 2 negotiation generates new key material for IP traffic
encryption and authentication, so hackers using brute force to break
encryption keys will not be able to obtain future IPSec keys. Check the box
to enable this feature, or uncheck the box to disable this feature. This feature
is recommended.
Preshared Key—Preshared key to use to authenticate the remote IKE peer.
You can enter up to 30 keyboard characters or hexadecimal values, such as
My_@123 or 4d795f40313233 (' ' " \ are not supported). Both ends of the
VPN tunnel must use the same Preshared Key. It is strongly recommended
that you change the Preshared Key periodically to maximize VPN security.
Minimum Preshared Key Complexity—Check the Enable box to enable
the Preshared Key Strength Meter.
Preshared Key Strength Meter—When you enable Minimum Preshared
Key Complexity, this meter indicates the preshared key strength. As you
enter a preshared key, colored bars appear. The scale goes from red (weak)
to yellow (acceptable) to green (strong).
TIP Enter a complex preshared key that includes more than eight characters,
upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols such as -*^+=.
Advanced Settings for IKE with Preshared Key and IKE with
Certificate
For most users, the basic settings should suffice; advanced users can click
Advanced to display the advanced settings. If you change the Advanced settings
on one router, also enter the settings on the other router.
Aggressive Mode—Two modes of IKE SA negotiation are possible: Main
Mode and Aggressive Mode. If network security is preferred, Main Mode is
recommended. If network speed is preferred, Aggressive Mode is
recommended. Check this box to enable Aggressive Mode, or uncheck the
box to use Main Mode.
If the Remote Security Gateway Type is one of the Dynamic IP types,
Aggressive Mode is required. The box is checked automatically, and this
setting cannot be changed.

Compress (Support IP Payload Compression Protocol (IP Comp))—A
protocol that reduces the size of IP datagrams. Check the box to enable the
router to propose compression when it initiates a connection. If the
responder rejects this proposal, then the router does not implement
compression. When the router is the responder, it accepts compression,
even if compression is not enabled. If you enable this feature for this router,
also enable it on the router at the other end of the tunnel.
Keep-Alive—Attempts to reestablish the VPN connection if it is dropped.
AH Hash Algorithm—Authentication Header (AH) protocol describes the
packet format and default standards for packet structure. When AH is the
security protocol, protection is extended forward into the IP header to verify
the integrity of the entire packet. Check the box to use this feature and
select an authentication method: MD5 or SHA1. MD5 produces a 128-bit
digest to authenticate packet data. SHA1 produces a 160-bit digest to
authenticate packet data. Both sides of the tunnel should use the same
algorithm.
NetBIOS Broadcast—Broadcast messages used for name resolution in
Windows networking to identify resources such as computers, printers, and
file servers. These messages are used by some software applications and
Windows features such as Network Neighborhood. LAN broadcast traffic is
typically not forwarded over a VPN tunnel. However, you can check this box
to allow NetBIOS broadcasts from one end of the tunnel to be rebroadcast
to the other end.
NAT Traversal—Network Address Translation (NAT) enables users with
private LAN addresses to access Internet resources by using a publicly
routable IP address as the source address. However, for inbound traffic, the
NAT gateway has no automatic method of translating the public IP address
to a particular destination on the private LAN. This issue prevents
successful IPSec exchanges. If your VPN router is behind a NAT gateway,
check this box to enable NAT traversal. The same setting must be used on
both ends of the tunnel.
Dead Peer Detection (DPD)—Sends periodic HELLO/ACK messages to
check the status of the VPN tunnel. This feature must be enabled on both
ends of the VPN tunnel. Specify the interval between HELLO/ACK
messages in the Interval field.

IPSec Setup
For encryption to be successful, the two ends of a VPN tunnel must agree on the
methods of encryption, decryption, and authentication. Enter exactly the same
settings on both routers.
Enter the settings for Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 establishes the preshared
keys to create a secure authenticated communication channel. In Phase 2, the IKE
peers use the secure channel to negotiate Security Associations for other
services such as IPSec. Be sure to enter the same settings when configuring other
routers for this tunnel.
Phase 1 / Phase 2 DH Group—DH (Diffie-Hellman) is a key exchange
protocol. There are three groups of different prime key lengths: Group 1 -
768 bits, Group 2 - 1,024 bits, and Group 5 - 1,536 bits. For faster speed and
lower security, choose Group 1. For slower speed and higher security,
choose Group 5. Group 1 is selected by default.
Phase 1 / Phase 2 Encryption—Method of encryption for this phase: DES,
3DES, AES-128, AES-192, or AES-256. The method determines the length of
the key used to encrypt or decrypt ESP packets. AES-256 is recommended
because it is more secure.
Phase 1 / Phase 2 Authentication—Method of authentication for this
phase: MD5 or SHA1. The authentication method determines how the ESP
(Encapsulating Security Payload Protocol) header packets are validated.
MD5 is a one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit digest. SHA1 is
a one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160-bit digest. SHA1 is
recommended because it is more secure. Make sure that both ends of the
VPN tunnel use the same authentication method.
Phase 1 / Phase 2 SA Life Time—Length of time a VPN tunnel is active in
this phase. The default value for Phase 1 is 28800 seconds. The default
value for Phase 2 is 3600 seconds.
Perfect Forward Secrecy—When Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) is
enabled, IKE Phase 2 negotiation generates new key material for IP traffic
encryption and authentication, so hackers using brute force to break
encryption keys will not be able to obtain future IPSec keys. Check to
enable PFS, or uncheck to disable.
Minimum Preshared Key Complexity—Check Enable to enable the
Preshared Key Strength Meter.
VPN
Client to Gateway

Preshared Key—Preshared key to use to authenticate the remote IKE peer.
You can enter up to 30 keyboard characters or hexadecimal values, such as
My_@123 or 4d795f40313233. Both ends of the VPN tunnel must use the
same Preshared Key. We recommend that you change the Preshared Key
periodically to maximize VPN security.
Preshared Key Strength Meter—When you enable Minimum Preshared
Key Complexity, this meter indicates the preshared key strength. As you
enter a preshared key, colored bars appear. The scale goes from red (weak)
to yellow (acceptable) to green (strong).
TIP Enter a complex preshared key that includes more than eight characters,
upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols such as -*^+= (' ' " \ are
not supported).
Advanced Settings for IKE
For most users, the basic settings should suffice; advanced users can click
Advanced to display the advanced settings. If you change the Advanced settings
on one router, also enter the settings on the other router.
Aggressive Mode—Two modes of IKE SA negotiation are possible, Main
Mode and Aggressive Mode. If network security is preferred, Main Mode is
recommended. If network speed is preferred, Aggressive Mode is
recommended. Check this box to enable Aggressive Mode, or uncheck the
box to use Main Mode.
If the Remote Security Gateway Type is one of the Dynamic IP types,
Aggressive Mode is required. The box is checked automatically, and this
setting cannot be changed.
Compress (Support IP Payload Compression Protocol (IP Comp))—A
protocol that reduces the size of IP datagrams. Check the box to enable the
router to propose compression when it initiates a connection. If the
responder rejects this proposal, then the router does not implement
compression. When the router is the responder, it accepts compression,
even if compression is not enabled. If you enable this feature for this router,
also enable it on the router at the other end of the tunnel.
Keep-Alive—Attempts to reestablish the VPN connection if it is dropped.
VPN

AH Hash Algorithm—Authentication Header (AH) protocol describes the
packet format and default standards for packet structure. When AH is the
security protocol, protection is extended forward into the IP header to verify
the integrity of the entire packet. Check the box to use this feature and
select an authentication method: MD5 or SHA1. MD5 produces a 128-bit
digest to authenticate packet data. SHA1 produces a 160-bit digest to
authenticate packet data. Both sides of the tunnel should use the same
algorithm.
NetBIOS Broadcast—Broadcast messages used for name resolution in
Windows networking to identify resources such as computers, printers, and
file servers. These messages are used by some software applications and
Windows features such as Network Neighborhood. LAN broadcast traffic is
typically not forwarded over a VPN tunnel. However, you can check this box
to allow NetBIOS broadcasts from one end of the tunnel to be rebroadcast
to the other end.
NAT Traversal—Network Address Translation (NAT) enables users with
private LAN addresses to access Internet resources by using a publicly
routable IP address as the source address. However, for inbound traffic, the
NAT gateway has no automatic method of translating the public IP address
to a particular destination on the private LAN. This issue prevents
successful IPSec exchanges. If your VPN router is behind a NAT gateway,
check this box to enable NAT traversal. The same setting must be used on
both ends of the tunnel.
Dead Peer Detection Interval—
is a method of detecting a dead Internet
Key Exchange (IKE) peer. The method uses IPsec traffic patterns to
minimize the number of messages.The minimum check interval in VPN Dead
Peer Detection is 10 seconds.
Extended Authentication—Allows you to specify a username and
password for authenticating incoming IPSec tunnel requests on top of a
preshared key or certificate.
- IPSec Host—Indicates use of an IPSec Host for extended
authentication.
User Name—Authentication username.
Password—Authentication password.

Certificate Management
A digital certificate certifies the ownership of a public key by the named subject of
the certificate. This allows others (relying parties) to rely upon signatures or
assertions made by the private key that corresponds to the public key that is
certified. In this model of trust relationships, a CA is a trusted third party that is
trusted by both the subject (owner) of the certificate and the party relying upon
the certificate. CAs are characteristic of many public key infrastructure (PKI)
schemes.
Use Certificate Management to generate and install SSL certificates.
My Certificate
You can add up to 50 certificates by self-signing or third-party authorization. You
can also create certificates by using the Certificate Generator or import
certificates from a PC or USB device.
Self-signed SSL Certificates are not inherently trusted by browsers and while they
can be used for encryption they do cause browsers to display warning messages
informing the user that the certificate has not been issued by an entity the user has
chosen to trust.
A user can also connect without a certificate installed on the PC. The user sees a
security warning when connecting to the VPN tunnel, but can proceed without this
extra security protection.
