  http://www.pepwave.com 30 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave   DHCP Server Settings DHCP Server When this setting is enabled, the DHCP server of thePepwave MAX automatically assigns an IP address to each computer that is connected via LAN and is configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP.  The Pepwave MAX’s DHCP server can prevent IP address collision on the LAN. IP Range & Subnet Mask Thesesettings allocate a range of IP address that will be assigned to LAN computers by the DHCP server of thePepwave MAX. Lease Time This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a DHCP client remains valid. Upon expiration of the Lease Time, the assigned IP address will no longer be valid and the renewal of the IP address assignment will be required. DNS Servers This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to the DHCP clients.  If Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Pepwave MAX’s built-in DNS server address (i.e. LAN IP address) will be offered. WINS Server This option allows you to specify the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server. You may choose to use the built-in WINS server or external WINS servers. When this unit is connected using SpeedFusionTM, other VPN peers can share this unit's built-in WINS server by entering this unit's LAN IP address in their DHCP WINS Servers setting.  Therefore, all PC clients in the VPN can resolve the NetBIOS names of other clients in remote peers. If you have enabled this option, a list of WINS clients will be displayed at Status > WINS Clients. Extended DHCP Option In addition to standard DHCP options (e.g. DNS server address, gateway address, subnet mask), you can specify the value of additional extended DHCP options, asdefined in RFC 2132. With these extended options enabled, you can pass additional configuration information to LAN hosts. To define an extended DHCP option, click the Add button, choose the option that you want to define and enter its value. For values that are in IP address list format, you can enter one IP address per line in the provided text area input control. Each option is allowed to be defined once only. DHCP Reservation This setting reserves the assignment of fixed IP addresses for a list of computers on the LAN.  The computers to be assigned fixed IP addresses on the LAN are identified by their MAC addresses.   The fixed IP address assignment is displayed as a cross-reference list between the computers’ names, MAC addresses and fixed IP addresses. Name (an optional field) allows you to specifya name to represent the device.  MAC addresses should be in the format of 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE Press   to create a new record.  Press   to remove a record Reserved clients information can be imported from the Client List, located at Status > Client List. For more details, please refer to section 21.3.

  http://www.pepwave.com 57 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave   9.6  Dynamic DNS Settings The Pepwave MAXis capable of registering the domain name relationships to dynamic DNS 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 have to 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 MAX will connect to the dynamic DNS service provider to perform an IP address update within the provider’s records.  Dynamic DNS Settings Dynamic DNS This setting specifies the dynamic DNS service provider to be used for the WAN based on supported dynamic DNS service providers:   changeip.com   dyndns.org  no-ip.org   tzo.com  DNS-O-Matic Select Disabled to disable this feature. Account Name / Email Address This setting specifies the registered user name for the dynamic DNS service. Password / TZO Key This setting specifies the password for the dynamic DNS service. Hosts / Domain This field allows you to specify a list of host names or domains to be associated with the public Internet IP address of the WAN connection. If you need to enter more than one host, you can use a carriage return to separate them.
  http://www.pepwave.com 58 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave    Important Note In order to use dynamic DNS services, appropriate host name registration(s) as well as a valid account with a supported dynamic DNS service provider are required. A dynamic DNS update is performed whenever a WAN’s IP address changes. E.g. 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 MAX performs an update every 23 days even if a WAN’s IP address has not changed.

The Bandwidth Bonding SpeedFusionTM of the Pepwave MAX is specifically designed for multi-WAN environment. The Pepwave MAX can aggregate all WAN connections’ bandwidth for routing SpeedFusionTMtraffic. Unless all the WAN connections of one site are down, the Pepwave MAX can still maintain 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.  11.1  PepVPN  The local LAN subnet and subnets behind the LAN (defined under Static Route in the LAN settings page) will be advertised to the VPN.All VPN members (branch offices and headquarters) will be able to route to the  local  subnets.Note  that  all  LAN  subnet  and  subnets  behind  it  have  to  be  unique.Otherwise,  VPN members will not be able to access each other. All data can be routed over the VPN with 256-bit AES encryption standard. To configure, navigate to Advanced>PepVPN, click the New Profile button
  http://www.pepwave.com 63 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave    to create a new VPN profile.Each profile is for making VPN connection with one remote Peplink Balance/Pepwave MAX.  Once you click on New Profile button this will open a window:   PepVPN Profile Active Check this box to enable VPN functionality. Encryption By default, VPN traffic is encrypted with 256-bit AES standard. If the option Off is selected on both sides of a VPN connection, no encryption will be applied. Remote ID The Pepwave MAX establishes VPN connection with a remote peer that has a serial numberor a remote ID here. Authentication Select from By Remote ID Only, Preshared Key, or X.509 to specify the method the Pepwave MAX 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:  To allow the Pepwave MAXto establisha VPN connection with a specific remote peer using a unique identifying number. Preshared Key:  Pre-shared Key defines the pre-shared key used for this particular VPN connection. 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. If you would like to prevent the display of the pre-shared key, check Hide Characters.
  http://www.pepwave.com 64 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave   X.509  To authenticate VPN connections using X.509 certificates, copy and paste certificate details into this field. To get more information on a listed X.509 certificate, click the Show Details link below the field. NAT Mode By selecting this option, the remote unit VPN will be assigned with an IP address from the local DHCP server. All the remote side traffic via this VPN will go through Network Address Translation (NAT) using the assigned IP address. RemoteIP Addresses / Host Names Enter the remote peer’s WAN IP address(es) or host name(s) here. Dynamic-DNS host names are accepted. This field is optional. With this field filled, the Pepwave MAX will initiate connection to each of the remote IP addresses until success. If the field is empty, the Pepwave MAX will wait for connection from the remote peer. Therefore, at least one side of the two VPN peers has to have the field filled. Otherwise, VPN connection cannot be established. Enter one IP address or host name per line. Data Port If Default is selected, VPN data will go through UDP port 4500. SelectCustom and enter a port number if a specific outgoing port is desired.
  http://www.pepwave.com 65 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave    ALayer 2 Bridging is an advanced feature, click the   icon next to PepVPN profile to activate it, then click the box next to Layer 2 Bridging to see all configuration options. Layer 2 Bridging Layer 2 BridgingA 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 this check box. 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. The L2 bridging feature is hidden from the user interface by default. To enable this feature, user has to click the hidden link at the upper right corner of the SpeedFusionTM Profile table. Bridge portA This field specifies the port to be bridged to the remote site.  If you choose WAN X (internal: replace the X by the WAN port number) that WAN will be disabled for WAN purposes. Instead, the WAN port will be dedicated to bridging with the remote site. The LAN port will remain unchanged. VLAN TaggingA This field specifies the VLAN ID with which the VPN's traffic should be tagged before sending the traffic to the bridge port. If no VLAN tagging is needed, select No VLAN. To define a new VLAN ID, click New... and input the VLAN ID. VLAN IDs that are not referenced by any VPN profiles will be removed from the list automatically. Default: No VLAN STPA Checking this box enables Spanning Tree Protocol.   Default: Unchecked. Preserve LAN Settings Upon ConnectedA The LAN port is chosen as the bridge port. Selecting this option preserves LAN settings (e.g., LAN port IP address, DHCP server, etc.) when the Layer 2 VPN is connected. Uncheck this option if the LAN IP address and gateway will use remote LAN settings. Check this option if the LAN IP address and local DHCP server should remain unchanged after the VPN is up.  If you choose not to preserve LAN settings when the VPN is connected, the device will not act as a router, and most Layer 3 routing functions will cease to work. ConfigureA Use this setting to specify how a management IP address is acquired for the bridge port in the specified VLAN (if defined) when the Layer 2 bridge is connected. If you choose As None, no IP address will be assigned to the bridge port for the Layer 2 connection.
  http://www.pepwave.com 66 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave    Send All Traffic To This feature allows you to redirect all traffic to a specified PepVPN connection. Click the   button to select your connection and the following menu will appear:    You could also specify a DNS server to resolve incoming DNS requests   PepVPN Local ID The Local ID is a text string to identify this local unit when establishing a VPN connection. When creating a profile on a remote unit, this Local ID has to be inputted in the remote unit's "Remote ID" field. Click the   icon to edit your Local ID.   WAN Connection Priority WAN Connection Priority You can specify the priority of the WAN connections to be used for making VPN connections. WAN connections set to OFF will never be used. Only available WAN connections with the highest priority will be utilized.To enable connection mapping to remote WAN, click the  button.
  http://www.pepwave.com 67 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave    Link Failure Detection Link Failure Detection Time The bonded SpeedFusionTMcan 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 frequent checks it sends, the shorter detection time, but the higher bandwidth overhead will be consumed. When Recommended is selected, a health check packet is sent out every 5 seconds, and the expected detection time is 15 seconds. When Fast is selected, a health check packet is sent out every 3 seconds, and the expected detection time is 6 seconds. When Faster is selected, a health check packet is sent out every 1 second, and the expected detection time is 2 seconds. When Extreme is selected, a health check packet is sent out every 0.1 second, and the expected detection time is under 1 second. By default, Recommended is selected.  Important Note Pepwave’s proprietary SpeedFusionTM used TCP port 32015 and UDP port 4500 for establishing VPN connections. If you have a firewall in front of the devices, you will need to add firewall rules for these port and protocols which will allow inbound and outbound traffic pass-through the firewall.

  http://www.pepwave.com 68 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave   11.2  Pepwave MAX Behind NAT Router The Pepwave MAX supports establishing SpeedFusionTMover WAN connections which are behind a NAT (Network Address Translation) router. To be able for a WAN connection behind a NAT router to accept VPN connections, you can configure the NAT router in front of the WAN connection to forward TCP port 32015 to it. 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  put  all  public  IP addresses or host names of the Unit A to the Unit B’s RemoteIP Addresses / Host Namesfield. Leave the  field  in  Unit  A  blank.With  such  setting,  SpeedFusionTM  connection  can  be  set  up  and  all  WAN connections on both sides will be utilized. For example, see the following diagram:   One of the WANs of RouterA is non-NAT’d (212.1.1.1).The rest of the WANs on RouterA and all WANs on RouterB are NAT’d.  In such case, the RemoteIP Addresses / Host Names field in RouterB should be  filled  with  all  of  the  RouterA’s  host  names  or  public  IP  addresses  (i.e.  212.1.1.1,  212.2.2.2 and 212.3.3.3),  and  the field in  RouterA  can  be left  blank.  The  two  NAT  routers  on WAN1  and WAN3  of Router A should inbound port forward TCP port 32015 to the Router A so that all WANs would be utilized to establish VPN.

The connection status of each connection profile is shown as below:   By clicking the Details button at the top-right hand corner of SpeedFusionTMtable, you will be forwarded to Status >SpeedFusionTM. You can view the subnet and WAN connection information of each VPN peer. Please refer to Section21.5 for details.  IP subnets must be unique among VPN peers The entire inter-connected SpeedFusionTM network is one single non-NAT IP network. No two subnets in two sites shall be duplicated. Otherwise, connectivity problems will be experienced in accessing those subnets.
  http://www.pepwave.com 70 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave   12  IPsec VPN The  Pepwave  MAX’s  IPsec  VPN  functionality  securely  connects  one  or  more  branch  offices  to  your company's main headquarters or to other branches.The data, voice, or video communications between these locations are thus kept safe and confidential across the public Internet.  The IPsec VPN of the Pepwave MAX is especially designed for a multi-WAN environment. For instance, a user sets up multiple IPsec profiles for his multi- WAN1 ~ WAN3 environment, if WAN1 is connected and its health  check turns  up good, the  IPsec traffic  will go  through this link. However, should  unforeseen problems  (e.g.  physically  unplugged  or  ISP  problems)  arise and  cause  WAN1  to  go down,  our IPsec implementation will make use of WAN2 and WAN3 accordingly, as failover purposes.  12.1  IPsec VPN Settings All of our Pepwaveproducts can makemultiple IPsec VPN connections with Peplink, Pepwave as well as Cisco or Juniper Routers. Note that all LAN subnet and subnets behind it have to 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, navigate to Advanced>IPsec VPN:   A NAT-Traversal option and list of definedIPsec VPN profiles will be shown.   The NAT-Traversal option should be enabled if your system is behind a NAT router. Click the New Profilebutton to create new IPsec VPN profiles that make VPN connections to remote Peplink Balance, Pepwave MAX, Cisco or Juniper Routers via the available WAN connections. To edit any of the profiles, click on its associated connection name in the leftmost column.
  http://www.pepwave.com 71 Copyright @ 2014 Pepwave     IPsec VPN Settings Name This field is for specifying a local name to represent this connection profile.  Active When this box is checked, this IPsec VPN connection profile will be enabled. Otherwise, it will be disabled. Remote Gateway IP Address Enter the remote peer’s public IP address.For Aggressive Mode, this is optional.. Local Networks Enter the local LAN subnets here. If you have defined “static routes”, they will be shown here too. Remote Networks  Enter the LAN and subnets that are located at the remote site here. Main Mode Choose this Main Mode if both IPsec peers use static IP addresses. Aggressive Mode Choose this Aggressive Mode if one of the IPsec peers use dynamic IP addresses. Force UDP Encapsulation For UDP encapsulation to be forced regardless of the NAT-Traversal, tick this checkbox. Pre-shared Key This defines the peer authentication pre-shared key to be used to authenticate this VPN

Under Aggressive Mode, if Remote Gateway IP Address field 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 Under Main Mode, this field can be left blank.  Under Aggressive Mode, if Remote Gateway IP Address field 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 Under Main Mode, this allows the setting of up to 6 encryption standards, in descending order of priority, to be used in the initial connection key negotiations. For 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 Under Main Mode, this allows the setting of up to 6 encryption standards, in descending order of priority, to be used for the IP data that is being transferred. For Aggressive Mode, only one selection is permitted. Phase 2 PFS Group The 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 but not any other data.  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.  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.
