9.5 Dynamic DNS Settings Pepwave routers are capable of registering the domain name relationships to dynamic DNS https://www.peplink.com 64 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave service providers. Through registration with dynamic DNS service provider(s), the default public Internet IP address of each WAN connection can be associated with a host name. With dynamic DNS service enabled for a WAN connection, you can connect to your WAN's IP address from the external, even if its IP address is dynamic. You must register for an account from the listed dynamic DNS service providers before enabling this option. If the WAN connection's IP address is a reserved private IP address (i.e., behind a NAT router), the public IP of each WAN will be automatically reported to the DNS service provider. Either upon a change in IP addresses or every 23 days without link reconnection, the Pepwave router will connect to the dynamic DNS service provider to perform an IP address update within the providers records. The settings for dynamic DNS service provider(s) and the association of hostname(s) are configured via Network>WAN>Details>Dynamic DNS Service Provider/Dynamic DNS Settings. Dynamic DNS Settings This setting specifies the dynamic DNS service provider to be used for the WAN based on supported dynamic DNS service providers:

A dynamic DNS update is performed whenever a WANs IP address changes (e.g., the IP is changed after a DHCP IP refresh, reconnection, etc.). Due to dynamic DNS service providers policy, a dynamic DNS host will automatically expire if the host record has not been updated for a long time. Therefore the Pepwave router performs an update every 23 days, even if a WANs IP address has not changed. 10 Advanced Wi-Fi Settings Wi-Fi settings can be configured at Advanced>Wi-Fi Settings (or AP>Settings on some models).

WAN routers to bond multiple Internet connections to increase site-to-site bandwidth and reliability. SpeedFusion functionality securely connects your Pepwave router to another Pepwave or Peplink device (Peplink Balance 210/310/380/580/710/1350 only). Data, voice, or video communications between these locations are kept confidential across the public Internet. Bandwidth bonding SpeedFusionTM is specifically designed for multi-WAN environments. In case of failures and network congestion at one or more WANs, other WANs can be used to continue carrying the network traffic. Different models of our SD-WAN routers have different numbers of site-to-site connections allowed. End-users who need to have more site-to-site connections can purchase a SpeedFusion license to increase the number of site-to-site connections allowed. Pepwave routers can aggregate all WAN connections bandwidth for routing SpeedFusionTM traffic. Unless all the WAN connections of one site are down, Pepwave routers can keep the VPN up and running. VPN bandwidth bonding is supported in Firmware 5.1 or above. All available bandwidth will be utilized to establish the VPN tunnel, and all traffic will be load balanced at packet level across all links. VPN bandwidth bonding is enabled by default. 12.1 PepVPN To configure PepVPN and SpeedFusion, navigate to Advanced>SpeedFusion or Advanced>PepVPN. https://www.peplink.com 75 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave The local LAN subnet and subnets behind the LAN (defined under Static Route on the LAN settings page) will be advertised to the VPN. All VPN members (branch offices and headquarters) will be able to route to local subnets. Note that all LAN subnets and the subnets behind them must be unique. Otherwise, VPN members will not be able to access each other. All data can be routed over the VPN using the 256-bit AES encryption standard. To configure, navigate to Advanced>SpeedFusion or Advanced>PepVPN and click the New Profile button to create a new VPN profile (you may have to first save the displayed default profile in order to access the New Profile button). Each profile specifies the settings for making VPN connection with one remote Pepwave or Peplink device. Note that available settings vary by model. A list of defined SpeedFusion connection profiles and a Link Failure Detection Time option will be shown. Click the New Profile button to create a new VPN connection profile for making a VPN connection to a remote Peplink Balance via the available WAN connections. Each profile is for making a VPN connection with one remote Peplink Balance. https://www.peplink.com 76 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave PepVPN Profile Settings Name Active This field is for specifying a name to represent this profile. The name can be any combination of alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z, a-z), underscores (_), dashes
(-), and/or non-leading/trailing spaces ( ). When this box is checked, this VPN connection profile will be enabled. Otherwise, it will be disabled. Encryption By default, VPN traffic is encrypted with 256-bit AES. If Off is selected on both sides of a VPN connection, no encryption will be applied. Authentication Select from By Remote ID Only, Preshared Key, or X.509 to specify the method the Peplink Balance will use to authenticate peers. When selecting By Remote ID Only, be sure to enter a unique peer ID number in the Remote ID field. Remote ID /
Pre-shared Key This optional field becomes available when Remote ID / Pre-shared Key is selected as the Peplink Balances 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. When the peer is running firmware 5.0+, this setting will be ignored. https://www.peplink.com 77 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Enter Remote IDs either by typing out each Remote ID and Pre-shared Key, or by pasting a CSV. If you wish to paste a CSV, click the ID / Preshared Key setting. icon next to the Remote Remote ID/Remote Certificate These optional fields become available when X.509 is selected as the Peplink Balances VPN authentication method, as explained above. To authenticate VPN connections using X.509 certificates, copy and paste certificate details into these fields. To get more information on a listed X.509 certificate, click the Show Details link below the field. Allow Shared Remote ID When this option is enabled, the router will allow multiple peers to run using the same remote ID. NAT Mode Check this box to allow the local DHCP server to assign an IP address to the remote peer. When NAT Mode is enabled, all remote traffic over the VPN will be tagged with the assigned IP address using network address translation. Remote IP Address / Host Names
(Optional) If NAT Mode is not enabled, you can enter a remote peers WAN IP address or hostname(s) here. If the remote 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. This field is optional. With this field filled, the Peplink Balance will initiate connection to each of the remote IP addresses until it succeeds in making a connection. If the field is empty, the Peplink Balance 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. Cost Define path cost for this profile. OSPF will determine the best route through the network using the assigned cost. Default: 10 Data Port This field is used to specify a UDP port number for transporting outgoing VPN data. If Default is selected, UDP port 4500 will be used. Port 32015 will be used if the remote unit uses Firmware prior to version 5.4 or if port 4500 is unavailable. If Custom is selected, enter an outgoing port number from 1 to 65535. Bandwidth Limit Define maximum download and upload speed to each individual peer. This functionality requires the peer to use PepVPN version 4.0.0 or above. Cost Define path cost for this profile. OSPF will determine the best route through the network using the assigned cost. Default: 10 WAN SmoothingA Select the degree to which WAN Smoothing will be implemented across your WAN links. https://www.peplink.com 78 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Use IP ToS Checking this button enables the use of IP ToS header field. Latency Difference Cutoff Traffic will be stopped for links that exceed the specified millisecond value with respect to the lowest latency link.

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. A - Advanced feature, please click the button on the top right-hand corner to activate. Peplink proprietary SpeedFusionTM 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.

https://www.peplink.com 81 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave http://youtu.be/TLQgdpPSY88 12.2 The Pepwave Router Behind a NAT Router Pepwave routers support establishing SpeedFusionTM over WAN connections which are behind a NAT (network address translation) router. To enable a WAN connection behind a NAT router to accept VPN connections, you can configure the NAT router in front of the WAN connection to inbound port-forward TCP port 32015 to the Pepwave router. If one or more WAN connections on Unit A can accept VPN connections (by means of port forwarding or not), while none of the WAN connections on the peer Unit B can do so, you should enter all of Unit As public IP addresses or hostnames into Unit Bs Remote IP Addresses /
Host Names field. Leave the field in Unit A blank. With this setting, a SpeedFusionTM connection can be set up and all WAN connections on both sides will be utilized. See the following diagram for an example of this setup in use:
https://www.peplink.com 82 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave One of the WANs connected to Router A is non-NATd (212.1.1.1). The rest of the WANs connected to Router A and all WANs connected to Router B are NATd. In this case, the Peer IP Addresses / Host Names field for Router B should be filled with all of Router As hostnames or public IP addresses (i.e., 212.1.1.1, 212.2.2.2, and 212.3.3.3), and the field in Router A can be left blank. The two NAT routers on WAN1 and WAN3 connected to Router A should inbound port-forward TCP port 32015 to Router A so that all WANs will be utilized in establishing the VPN. 12.3 SpeedFusionTM Status SpeedFusionTM status is shown in the Dashboard. The connection status of each connection profile is shown as below. After clicking the Status button at the top right corner of the SpeedFusionTM table, you will be forwarded to Status>SpeedFusionTM, where you can view subnet and WAN connection information for each VPN peer. Please refer to Section 22.6 for details. IP Subnets Must Be Unique Among VPN Peers The entire interconnected SpeedFusionTM network is a single non-NAT IP network. Avoid duplicating subnets in your sites to prevent connectivity problems when accessing those subnets. 13 IPsec VPN IPsec VPN functionality securely connects one or more branch offices to your company's main headquarters or to other branches. Data, voice, and video communications between these locations are kept safe and confidential across the public Internet. IPsec VPN on Pepwave routers is specially designed for multi-WAN environments. For instance, if a user sets up multiple IPsec profiles for a multi-WAN environment and WAN1 is connected and healthy, IPsec traffic will go through this link. However, should unforeseen problems (e.g., unplugged cables or ISP problems) cause WAN1 to go down, our IPsec implementation will make use of WAN2 and WAN3 for failover. https://www.peplink.com 83 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave 13.1 IPsec VPN Settings Many Pepwave products can make multiple IPsec VPN connections with Peplink, Pepwave, Cisco, and Juniper routers. Note that all LAN subnets and the subnets behind them must be unique. Otherwise, VPN members will not be able to access each other. All data can be routed over the VPN with a selection of encryption standards, such as 3DES, AES-128, and AES-256. To configure IPsec VPN on Pepwave devices that support it, navigate to Advanced>IPsec VPN. A NAT-Traversal option and list of defined IPsec VPN profiles will be shown. NAT-Traversal should be enabled if your system is behind a NAT router. Click the New Profile button to create new IPsec VPN profiles that make VPN connections to remote Pepwave, Cisco, or Juniper routers via available WAN connections. To edit any of the profiles, click on its associated connection name in the leftmost column. https://www.peplink.com 84 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave https://www.peplink.com 85 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Name Active Connect Upon Disconnection of Remote Gateway IP Address / Host Name Local Networks IPsec VPN Settings This field is for specifying a local name to represent this connection profile. When this box is checked, this IPsec VPN connection profile will be enabled. Otherwise, it will be disabled. Check this box and select a WAN to connect to this VPN automatically when the specified WAN is disconnected. Enter the remote peers public IP address. For Aggressive Mode, this is optional. Enter the local LAN subnets here. If you have defined static routes, they will be shown here. Using NAT, you can map a specific local network / IP address to another, and the packets received by remote gateway will appear to be coming from the mapped network / IP address. This allow you to establish IPsec connection to a remote site that has one or more subnets overlapped with local site. Two types of NAT policies can be defined:
One-to-One NAT policy: if the defined subnet in Local Network and NAT Network has the same size, for example, policy "192.168.50.0/24 > 172.16.1.0/24" will translate the local IP address 192.168.50.10 to 172.16.1.10 and 192.168.50.20 to 172.16.1.20. This is a bidirectional mapping which means clients in remote site can initiate connection to the local clients using the mapped address too. Many-to-One NAT policy: if the defined NAT Network on the right hand side is an IP address (or having a network prefix /32), for example, policy "192.168.1.0/24
> 172.168.50.1/32" will translate all clients in 192.168.1.0/24 network to 172.168.50.1. This is a unidirectional mapping which means clients in remote site will not be able to initiate connection to the local clients. Remote Networks Enter the LAN and subnets that are located at the remote site here. Authentication To access your VPN, clients will need to authenticate by your choice of methods. Choose between the Preshared Key and X.509 Certificate methods of authentication. https://www.peplink.com 86 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Mode Choose Main Mode if both IPsec peers use static IP addresses. Choose Aggressive Mode if one of the IPsec peers uses dynamic IP addresses. Force UDP Encapsulation For forced UDP encapsulation regardless of NAT-traversal, tick this checkbox. Pre-shared Key This defines the peer authentication pre-shared key used to authenticate this VPN connection. The connection will be up only if the pre-shared keys on each side match. Remote Certificate (pem encoded) Available only when X.509 Certificate is chosen as the Authentication method, this field allows you to paste a valid X.509 certificate. Local ID In Main Mode, this field can be left blank. In Aggressive Mode, if Remote Gateway IP Address is filled on this end and the peer end, this field can be left blank. Otherwise, this field is typically a U-FQDN. Remote ID In Main Mode, this field can be left blank. In Aggressive Mode, if Remote Gateway IP Address is filled on this end and the peer end, this field can be left blank. Otherwise, this field is typically a U-FQDN. Phase 1 (IKE) Proposal In Main Mode, this allows setting up to six encryption standards, in descending order of priority, to be used in initial connection key negotiations. In Aggressive Mode, only one selection is permitted. Phase 1 DH Group This is the Diffie-Hellman group used within IKE. This allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an insecure communications channel. The larger the group number, the higher the security. Group 2: 1024-bit is the default value. Group 5: 1536-bit is the alternative option. Phase 1 SA Lifetime This setting specifies the lifetime limit of this Phase 1 Security Association. By default, it is set at 3600 seconds. Phase 2 (ESP) Proposal In Main Mode, this allows setting up to six encryption standards, in descending order of priority, to be used for the IP data that is being transferred. In Aggressive Mode, only one selection is permitted. Phase 2 PFS Group Perfect forward secrecy (PFS) ensures that if a key was compromised, the attacker will be able to access only the data protected by that key. None - Do not request for PFS when initiating connection. However, since there is no valid reason to refuse PFS, the system will allow the connection to use PFS if requested by the remote peer. This is the default value. Group 2: 1024-bit Diffie-Hellman group. The larger the group number, the higher the security. https://www.peplink.com 87 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Group 5: 1536-bit is the third option. Phase 2 SA Lifetime This setting specifies the lifetime limit of this Phase 2 Security Association. By default, it is set at 28800 seconds. WAN Connection Priority WAN Connection Select the appropriate WAN connection from the drop-down menu. 14 Outbound Policy Management Pepwave routers can flexibly manage and load balance outbound traffic among WAN connections. Outbound policy is applied only when more than one WAN connection is active. Important Note The settings for managing and load balancing outbound traffic are located at Advanced>Outbound Policy or Advanced>PepVPN, depending on the model. https://www.peplink.com 88 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave 14.1 Outbound Policy Outbound policies for managing and load balancing outbound traffic are located at Network>Outbound Policy>
or Advanced>PepVPN>Outbound Policy. There are three main selections for the outbound traffic policy:
High Application Compatibility Normal Application Compatibility Custom Note that some Pepwave routers provide only the Send All Traffic To setting here. See Section 12.1 for details. Outbound Policy Settings High Application Compatibility Outbound traffic from a source LAN device is routed through the same WAN connection regardless of the destination Internet IP address and protocol. This option provides the highest application compatibility. Normal Application Compatibility Outbound traffic from a source LAN device to the same destination Internet IP address will be routed through the same WAN connection persistently, regardless of protocol. This option provides high compatibility to most applications, and users still benefit from WAN link load balancing when multiple Internet servers are accessed. Custom Outbound traffic behavior can be managed by defining rules in a custom rule table. A default rule can be defined for connections that cannot be matched with any of the rules. The default policy is Normal Application Compatibility. Tip Want to know more about creating outbound rules? Visit our YouTube Channel for a video tutorial!

Choose Custom and press the Save button. 14.2.1 Algorithm: Weighted Balance This setting specifies the ratio of WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Weighted Balance. https://www.peplink.com 90 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave The amount of matching traffic that is distributed to a WAN connection is proportional to the weight of the WAN connection relative to the total weight. Use the sliders to change each WANs weight. For example, with the following weight settings:
Ethernet WAN1: 10 Ethernet WAN2: 10 Wi-Fi WAN: 10 Cellular 1: 10 Cellular 2: 10 USB: 10 Total weight is 60 = (10 +10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10). Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60 x 100%. Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%. Matching traffic distributed to Wi-Fi WAN is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%. Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%. Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%. Matching traffic distributed to USB is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%. 14.2.2 Algorithm: Persistence The configuration of persistent services is the solution to the few situations where link load https://www.peplink.com 91 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave distribution for Internet services is undesirable. For example, for security reasons, many e-
banking and other secure websites terminate the session when the client computers Internet IP address changes mid-session. In general, different Internet IP addresses represent different computers. The security concern is that an IP address change during a session may be the result of an unauthorized intrusion attempt. Therefore, to prevent damages from the potential intrusion, the session is terminated upon the detection of an IP address change. Pepwave routers can be configured to distribute data traffic across multiple WAN connections. Also, the Internet IP depends on the WAN connections over which communication actually takes place. As a result, a LAN client computer behind the Pepwave router may communicate using multiple Internet IP addresses. For example, a LAN client computer behind a Pepwave router with three WAN connections may communicate on the Internet using three different IP addresses. With the persistence feature, rules can be configured to enable client computers to persistently utilize the same WAN connections for e-banking and other secure websites. As a result, a client computer will communicate using one IP address, eliminating the issues mentioned above. There are two persistent modes: By Source and By Destination. By Source:
By Destination:
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule and originating from the same machine, regardless of its destination. This option will provide the highest level of application compatibility. The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule, originating from the same machine, and going to the same destination. This option can better distribute loads to WAN connections when there are only a few client machines. The default mode is By Source. When there are multiple client requests, they can be distributed
(persistently) to WAN connections with a weight. If you choose Auto in Load Distribution, the weights will be automatically adjusted according to each WANs Downstream Bandwidth https://www.peplink.com 92 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave which is specified in the WAN settings page). If you choose Custom, you can customize the weight of each WAN manually by using the sliders. 14.2.3 Algorithm: Enforced This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Enforced. Matching traffic will be routed through the specified WAN connection, regardless of the health check status of the WAN connection. Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be enforced to go through a specified SpeedFusionTM connection. 14.2.4 Algorithm: Priority This setting specifies the priority of the WAN connections used to route the specified network service. The highest priority WAN connection available will always be used for routing the specified type of traffic. A lower priority WAN connection will be used only when all higher priority connections have become unavailable. Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be prioritized to go through SpeedFusionTM connection(s). By default, VPN connections are not included in the priority list. https://www.peplink.com Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Tip 93 Configure multiple distribution rules to accommodate different kinds of services. 14.2.5 Algorithm: Overflow The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that has the highest priority and is not in full load. When this connection gets saturated, new sessions will be routed to the next healthy WAN connection that is not in full load. Drag and drop to specify the order of WAN connections to be used for routing traffic. Only the highest priority healthy connection that is not in full load will be used. 14.2.6 Algorithm: Least Used The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that is selected in Connection and has the most available download bandwidth. The available download bandwidth of a WAN connection is calculated from the total download bandwidth specified on the WAN settings page and the current download usage. The available bandwidth and WAN selection is determined every time an IP session is made. 14.2.7 Algorithm: Lowest Latency The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that is selected https://www.peplink.com 94 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave in Connection and has the lowest latency. Latency checking packets are issued periodically to a nearby router of each WAN connection to determine its latency value. The latency of a WAN is the packet round trip time of the WAN connection. Additional network usage may be incurred as a result. Tip The roundtrip time of a 6M down/640k uplink can be higher than that of a 2M down/2M up link because the overall round trip time is lengthened by its slower upload bandwidth, despite its higher downlink speed. Therefore, this algorithm is good for two scenarios:
All WAN connections are symmetric; or A latency sensitive application must be routed through the lowest latency WAN, regardless of the WANs available bandwidth. 14.2.8 Expert Mode Expert Mode is available on some Pepwave routers for use by advanced users. To enable the feature, click on the help icon and click turn on Expert Mode. In Expert Mode, a new special rule, SpeedFusionTM Routes, is displayed in the Custom Rules table. This rule represents all SpeedFusionTM routes learned from remote VPN peers. By default, this bar is on the top of all custom rules. This position means that traffic for remote VPN subnets will be routed to the corresponding VPN peer. You can create custom Priority or Enforced rules and move them above the bar to override the SpeedFusionTM routes. Upon disabling Expert Mode, all rules above the bar will be removed. 15 Inbound Access 15.1 Port Forwarding Service Pepwave routers can act as a firewall that blocks, by default, all inbound access from the Internet. By using port forwarding, Internet users can access servers behind the Pepwave https://www.peplink.com 95 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave router. Inbound port forwarding rules can be defined at Advanced>Port Forwarding. To define a new service, click Add Service. Port Forwarding Settings Enable This setting specifies whether the inbound service takes effect. When Enable is checked, the inbound service takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule. When this setting is disabled, the inbound service does not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards the other parameters of the rule. Service Name This setting identifies the service to the system administrator. Valid values for this setting consist of only alphanumeric and underscore _ characters. IP Protocol The IP Protocol setting, along with the Port setting, specifies the protocol of the service as TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP. Traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the specified port(s) is forwarded to the LAN hosts specified by the Servers setting. Please see below for details on the Port and Servers settings. Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically fill in the protocol and a single port number of common Internet services
(e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, etc.). After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the protocol and port number remain manually modifiable. https://www.peplink.com 96 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave The Port setting specifies the port(s) that correspond to the service, and can be configured to behave in one of the following manners:
Any Port, Single Port, Port Range, Port Map, and Range Mapping Any Port: all traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol is forwarded to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Any Port, all TCP traffic is forwarded to the configured servers. Single Port: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the specified port is forwarded via the same port to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Single Port and Service Port 80, TCP traffic received on port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via port 80. Port Port Range: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the specified port range is forwarded via the same respective ports to the LAN hosts specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Port Range and Service Ports 80-88, TCP traffic received on ports 80 through 88 is forwarded to the configured servers via the respective ports. Port Mapping: traffic that is received by Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the specified port is forwarded via a different port to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Port Mapping, Service Port 80, and Map to Port 88, TCP traffic on port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via port 88.
(Please see below for details on the Servers setting.) Range Mapping: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the specified port range is forwarded via a different port to the servers specified by the Servers setting. Inbound IP Address(es) This setting specifies the WAN connections and Internet IP address(es) from which the service can be accessed. Server IP Address This setting specifies the LAN IP address of the server that handles the requests for the service. https://www.peplink.com 97 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave 15.1.1 UPnP / NAT-PMP Settings UPnP and NAT-PMP are network protocols which allow a computer connected to the LAN port to automatically configure the router to allow parties on the WAN port to connect to itself. That way, the process of inbound port forwarding becomes automated. When a computer creates a rule using these protocols, the specified TCP/UDP port of all WAN connections' default IP address will be forwarded. Check the corresponding box(es) to enable UPnP and/or NAT-PMP. Enable these features only if you trust the computers connected to the LAN ports. When the options are enabled, a table listing all the forwarded ports under these two protocols can be found at Status>UPnP / NAT-PMP. 16 NAT Mappings NAT mappings allow IP address mapping of all inbound and outbound NATd traffic to and from an internal client IP address. Settings to configure NAT mappings are located at Advanced>NAT Mappings. To add a rule for NAT mappings, click Add NAT Rule. https://www.peplink.com 98 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave NAT Mapping Settings LAN Client(s) NAT mapping rules can be defined for a single LAN IP Address, an IP Range, or an IP Network. Address Range Network Inbound Mappings This refers to the LAN hosts private IP address. The system maps this address to a number of public IP addresses (specified below) in order to facilitate inbound and outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP Address is selected. The IP range is a contiguous group of private IP addresses used by the LAN host. The system maps these addresses to a number of public IP addresses
(specified below) to facilitate outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP Range is selected. The IP network refers to all private IP addresses and ranges managed by the LAN host. The system maps these addresses to a number of public IP addresses (specified below) to facilitate outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP Network is selected. This setting specifies the WAN connections and corresponding WAN-specific Internet IP addresses on which the system should bind. Any access to the specified WAN connection(s) and IP address(es) will be forwarded to the LAN host. This option is only available when IP Address is selected in the LAN Client(s) field. Note that inbound mapping is not needed for WAN connections in drop-in mode https://www.peplink.com 99 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave or IP forwarding mode. Also note that each WAN IP address can be associated to one NAT mapping only. This setting specifies the WAN IP addresses that should be used when an IP connection is made from a LAN host to the Internet. Each LAN host in an IP range or IP network will be evenly mapped to one of each selected WAN's IP addresses (for better IP address utilization) in a persistent manner (for better application compatibility). Note that if you do not want to use a specific WAN for outgoing accesses, you should still choose default here, then customize the outbound access rule in the Outbound Policy section. Also note that WAN connections in drop-in mode or IP forwarding mode are not shown here. Outbound Mappings Click Save to save the settings when configuration has been completed. Inbound firewall rules override the Inbound Mappings settings. Important Note 17 QoS 17.1 User Groups LAN and PPTP clients can be categorized into three user groups: Manager, Staff, and Guest. This menu allows you to define rules and assign client IP addresses or subnets to a user group. You can apply different bandwidth and traffic prioritization policies on each user group in the Bandwidth Control and Application sections (note that the options available here vary by model). The table is automatically sorted by rule precedence. The smaller and more specific subnets are put towards the top of the table and have higher precedence; larger and less specific subnets are placed towards the bottom. Click the Add button to define clients and their user group. Click the defined rule. Two default rules are pre-defined and put at the bottom. They are All DHCP reservation clients and Everyone, and they cannot be removed. The All DHCP reservation client represents the LAN clients defined in the DHCP Reservation table on the LAN settings page. Everyone represents all clients that are not defined in any rule above. Click on a rule to change its group. button to remove the https://www.peplink.com 100 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Add / Edit User Group Subnet / IP Address From the drop-down menu, choose whether you are going to define the client(s) by an IP Address or a Subnet. If IP Address is selected, enter a name defined in DHCP reservation table or a LAN client's IP address. If Subnet is selected, enter a subnet address and specify its subnet mask. Group This field is to define which User Group the specified subnet / IP address belongs to. Once users have been assigned to a user group, their internet traffic will be restricted by rules defined for that particular group. Please refer to the following two sections for details. 17.2 Bandwidth Control You can define a maximum download speed (over all WAN connections) and upload speed (for each WAN connection) that each individual Staff and Guest member can consume. No limit can be imposed on individual Manager members. By default, download and upload bandwidth limits are set to unlimited (set as 0). https://www.peplink.com 101 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave 17.3 Application 17.3.1 Application Prioritization On many Pepwave routers, you can choose whether to apply the same prioritization settings to all user groups or customize the settings for each group. Three application priority levels can be set: High, Normal, andLow. Pepwave routers can detect various application traffic types by inspecting the packet content. Select an application by choosing a supported application, or by defining a custom application manually. The priority preference of supported applications is placed at the top of the table. Custom applications are at the bottom. 17.3.2 Prioritization for Custom Applications Click the Add button to define a custom application. Click the button to delete the custom application in the corresponding row. in the Action column When Supported Applications is selected, the Pepwave router will inspect network traffic and prioritize the selected applications. Alternatively, you can select Custom Applications and define the application by providing the protocol, scope, port number, and DSCP value. https://www.peplink.com 102 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave 17.3.3 DSL/Cable Optimization DSL/cable-based WAN connections have lower upload bandwidth and higher download bandwidth. When a DSL/cable circuit's uplink is congested, the download bandwidth will be affected. Users will not be able to download data at full speed until the uplink becomes less congested. DSL/Cable Optimization can relieve such an issue. When it is enabled, the download speed will become less affected by the upload traffic. By default, this feature is enabled. 18 Firewall A firewall is a mechanism that selectively filters data traffic between the WAN side (the Internet) and the LAN side of the network. It can protect the local network from potential hacker attacks, access to offensive websites, and/or other inappropriate uses. The firewall functionality of Pepwave routers supports the selective filtering of data traffic in both directions:
Outbound (LAN to WAN) Inbound (WAN to LAN) The firewall also supports the following functionality:
Intrusion detection and DoS prevention Web blocking With SpeedFusionTM enabled, the firewall rules also apply to VPN tunneled traffic. https://www.peplink.com 103 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave 18.1 Outbound and Inbound Firewall Rules 18.1.1 Access Rules The outbound firewall settings are located at Advanced>Firewall>Access Rules>Outbound Firewall Rules.

TCP UDP ICMP IP Protocol Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically fill in the protocol and port number of common Internet services
(e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, etc.) After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the protocol and port number remains manually modifiable. This specifies the source IP address(es) and port number(s) to be matched for the firewall rule. A single address, or a network, can be specified as the Source IP &
Port setting, as indicated by the following screenshot:
In addition, a single port, or a range of ports, can be specified for the Source IP &
Port settings. This specifies the destination IP address(es) and port number(s) to be matched for the firewall rule. A single address, or a network, can be specified as the Destination IP & Port setting, as indicated by the following screenshot:
In addition, a single port, or a range of ports, can be specified for the Destination IP & Port settings. This setting specifies the action to be taken by the router upon encountering traffic that matches the both of the following:
Source IP & Port Destination IP &
Port Action Source IP & port Destination IP & port With the value of Allow for the Action setting, the matching traffic passes through the router (to be routed to the destination). If the value of the Action setting is set to Deny, the matching traffic does not pass through the router (and is discarded). This setting specifies whether or not to log matched firewall events. The logged messages are shown on the page Status>Event Log. A sample message is as follows:

Miscellaneous Settings The miscellaneous settings include configuration for high availability, PPTP server, service forwarding, and service passthrough. 21.1 High Availability Many Pepwave routers support high availability (HA) configurations via an open standard virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768). In an HA configuration, two Pepwave routers provide redundancy and failover in a master-slave arrangement. In the event that the master unit is down, the slave unit becomes active. High availability will be disabled automatically where there is a drop-in connection configured on a LAN bypass port. https://www.peplink.com 118 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave In the diagram, the WAN ports of each Pepwave router connect to the router and to the modem. Both Pepwave routers connect to the same LAN switch via a LAN port. An elaboration on the technical details of the implementation of the virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768) by Pepwave routers follows:
In an HA configuration, the two Pepwave routers communicate with each other using VRRP over the LAN. The two Pepwave routers broadcast heartbeat signals to the LAN at a frequency of one heartbeat signal per second. In the event that no heartbeat signal from the master Pepwave router is received in 3 seconds (or longer) since the last heartbeat signal, the slave Pepwave router becomes active. The slave Pepwave router initiates the WAN connections and binds to a previously At a subsequent point when the master Pepwave router recovers, it will once again configured LAN IP address. become active. You can configure high availability at Advanced>Misc. Settings>High Availability. https://www.peplink.com 119 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Interface for Master Router Interface for Slave Router High Availability Enable Checking this box specifies that the Pepwave router is part of a high availability configuration. Group Number This number identifies a pair of Pepwave routers operating in a high availability configuration. The two Pepwave routers in the pair must have the same Group Number value. Preferred Role This setting specifies whether the Pepwave router operates in master or slave mode. Click the corresponding radio button to set the role of the unit. One of the units in the pair must be configured as the master, and the other unit must be configured as the slave. Resume Master Role Upon Recovery This option is displayed when Master mode is selected in Preferred Role. If this option is enabled, once the device has recovered from an outage, it will take over and resume its Master role from the slave unit. Configuration Sync. This option is displayed when Slave mode is selected in Preferred Role. If this option is enabled and the Master Serial Number entered matches with the actual master unit's, the master unit will automatically transfer the configuration to this unit. Please make sure the LAN IP Address and the Subnet Mask fields are set correctly in the LAN settings page. You can refer to the Event Log for the configuration synchronization status. Master Serial Number If Configuration Sync. is checked, the serial number of the master unit is required here for the feature to work properly. Virtual IP The HA pair must share the same Virtual IP. The Virtual IP and the LAN Administration IP must be under the same network. LAN This setting specifies a LAN IP address to be used for accessing administration https://www.peplink.com 120 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Administration functionality. This address should be unique within the LAN. IP Subnet Mask This setting specifies the subnet mask of the LAN. Important Note For Pepwave routers in NAT mode, the virtual IP (VIP) should be set as the default gateway for all hosts on the LAN segment. For example, a firewall sitting behind the Pepwave router should set its default gateway as the virtual IP instead of the IP of the master router. In drop-in mode, no other configuration needs to be set. https://www.peplink.com 121 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Please note that the drop-in WAN cannot be configured as a LAN bypass port while it is configured for high availability. 21.2 PPTP Server Pepwave routers feature a built-in PPTP server, which enables remote computers to conveniently and securely access the local network. PPTP server settings are located at Advanced>Misc. Settings>PPTP Server. Check the box to enable PPTP server functionality. All connected PPTP sessions are displayed at Status>Client List. Please refer to Section 22.3 for details. Note that available options vary by model. https://www.peplink.com 122 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave PPTP Server Settings Listen On This setting is for specifying the WAN connection(s) and IP address(es) that the PPTP server should listen on. Authentication This setting is for specifying the user database source for PPTP authentication. Three sources can be selected: Local User Accounts, LDAP Server, or RADIUS Server. Local User Accounts - User accounts are stored in the Pepwave router locally. You can add/modify/delete accounts in the User Accounts table. LDAP Server - Authenticate with an external LDAP server. This has been tested with Open LDAP servers where passwords are NTLM hashed. Active Directory is not supported. (You can choose to use RADIUS to authenticate with a Windows https://www.peplink.com 123 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave server.) RADIUS Server - Authenticate with an external RADIUS server. This has been tested with Microsoft Windows Internet Authentication Service and FreeRADIUS servers where passwords are NTLM hashed or in plain text. User Accounts This setting allows you to define PPTP user accounts for authentication via local user accounts. Click Add to input username and password to create an account. After adding the user accounts, you can click on a username to edit the account password. Click to delete the account in its corresponding row. 21.3 Certificate Manager This section allows you to assign certificates for local VPN and web admin SSL. The local keys will not be transferred to another device by any means. 21.4 Service Forwarding Service forwarding settings are located at Advanced>Misc. Settings>Service Forwarding. Service Forwarding SMTP Forwarding When this option is enabled, all outgoing SMTP connections destined for any host at TCP port 25 will be intercepted. These connections will be redirected to a specified SMTP server and port number. SMTP server settings for each WAN can be specified after selecting Enable. Web Proxy Forwarding When this option is enabled, all outgoing connections destined for the proxy https://www.peplink.com 124 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave server specified in Web Proxy Interception Settings will be intercepted. These connections will be redirected to a specified web proxy server and port number. Web proxy interception settings and proxy server settings for each WAN can be specified after selecting Enable. When this option is enabled, all outgoing DNS lookups will be intercepted and redirected to the built-in DNS name server. If any LAN device is using the DNS name servers of a WAN connection, you may want to enable this option to enhance the DNS availability without modifying the DNS server setting of the clients. The built-in DNS name server will distribute DNS lookups to corresponding DNS servers of all available WAN connections. In this case, DNS service will not be interrupted, even if any WAN connection is down. DNS Forwarding Custom Service Forwarding When custom service forwarding is enabled, outgoing traffic with the specified TCP port will be forwarded to a local or remote server by defining its IP address and port number. 21.4.1 SMTP Forwarding Some ISPs require their users to send e-mails via the ISPs SMTP server. All outgoing SMTP connections are blocked except those connecting to the ISPs. Pepwave routers support intercepting and redirecting all outgoing SMTP connections (destined for TCP port 25) via a WAN connection to the WANs corresponding SMTP server. To enable the feature, select Enable under SMTP Forwarding Setup. Check Enable Forwarding for the WAN connection(s) that needs forwarding. Under SMTP Server, enter the ISPs e-mail server host name or IP address. Under SMTP Port, enter the TCP port number for each WAN. The Pepwave router will intercept SMTP connections. Choose a WAN port according to the outbound policy, and then forward the connection to the SMTP server if the chosen WAN has enabled forwarding. If the forwarding is disabled for a WAN connection, SMTP connections for the WAN will be simply be forwarded to the connections original destination. https://www.peplink.com 125 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave Note If you want to route all SMTP connections only to particular WAN connection(s), you should create a custom rule in outbound policy (see Section 14.2). 21.4.2 Web Proxy Forwarding When this feature is enabled, the Pepwave router will intercept all outgoing connections destined for the proxy server specified in Web Proxy Interception Settings, choose a WAN connection with reference to the outbound policy, and then forward them to the specified web proxy server and port number. Redirected server settings for each WAN can be set here. If forwarding is disabled for a WAN, web proxy connections for the WAN will be simply forwarded to the connections original destination. 21.4.3 DNS Forwarding When DNS forwarding is enabled, all clients outgoing DNS requests will also be intercepted and forwarded to the built-in DNS proxy server. 21.4.4 Custom Service Forwarding After clicking the enable checkbox, enter your TCP port for traffic heading to the router, and then https://www.peplink.com 126 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave specify the IP Address and Port of the server you wish to forward to the service to. 21.5 Service Passthrough Service passthrough settings can be found at Advanced>Misc. Settings>Service Passthrough. Some Internet services need to be specially handled in a multi-WAN environment. Pepwave routers can handle these services such that Internet applications do not notice being behind a multi-WAN router. Settings for service passthrough support are available here. Service Passthrough Support Session initiation protocol, aka SIP, is a voice-over-IP protocol. The Pepwave router can act as a SIP application layer gateway (ALG) which binds connections for the same SIP session to the same WAN connection and translate IP address in the SIP packets correctly in NAT mode. Such passthrough support is always enabled, and there are two modes for selection:
Standard Mode and Compatibility Mode. If your SIP servers signal port number is non-standard, you can check the box Define custom signal ports and input the port numbers to the text boxes. With this option enabled, protocols that provide audio-visual communication sessions will be defined on any packet network and pass through the Pepwave router. FTP sessions consist of two TCP connections; one for control and one for data. In a multi-WAN situation, they must be routed to the same WAN connection. Otherwise, problems will arise in transferring files. By default, the Pepwave router monitors TCP control connections on port 21 for any FTP connections and binds TCP connections of the same FTP session to the same WAN. If you SIP H.323 FTP https://www.peplink.com 127 Copyright @ 2019 Pepwave have an FTP server listening on a port number other than 21, you can check Define custom control ports and enter the port numbers in the text boxes. TFTP The Pepwave router monitors outgoing TFTP connections and routes any incoming TFTP data packets back to the client. Select Enable if you want to enable TFTP passthrough support. IPsec NAT-T This field is for enabling the support of IPsec NAT-T passthrough. UDP ports 500, 4500, and 10000 are monitored by default.
