DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server
When this setting is enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each computer
that is connected via LAN and configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP. The Pepwave router’s
DHCP server can prevent IP address collision on the LAN.
IP Range &
Subnet Mask
These settings allocate a range of IP addresses that will be assigned to LAN computers by the
Pepwave router’s DHCP server.
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 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 DHCP clients. If Assign
DNS server automatically is selected, the Pepwave router’s built-in DNS server address (i.e., LAN
IP address) will be offered.
WINS Server
This option allows you to optionally specify a 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 Server setting.
Afterward, 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.
BOOTP
Check this box to enable BOOTP on older networks that still require it.
Extended
DHCP Option

Important Note
In order to use dynamic DNS services, appropriate hostname 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 is changed, such as when an IP is changed after a DHCP
IP refresh or reconnection.
Due to dynamic DNS service providers’ policies, a dynamic DNS host expires automatically when the host record has not been
not updated for a long time. Therefore, the Peplink Balance performs an update every 23 days, even if a WAN’s IP address did
not change.

Automatic Public DNS Server Check on DNS Test Failure
When the health check method is set to DNS Lookup and health checks fail, the Pepwave router will automatically perform
DNS lookups on public DNS servers. If the tests are successful, the WAN may not be down, but rather the target DNS server
malfunctioned. You will see the following warning message on the main page:
10.5 Dynamic DNS Settings
Pepwave routers are 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 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 provider’s
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.

Important Note
In order to use dynamic DNS services, appropriate host name registration(s) and 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., 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 WAN’s IP address has not changed.

13 Bandwidth Bonding SpeedFusionTM / PepVPN
Pepwave bandwidth bonding SpeedFusionTM is our patented technology that enables our SD-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.
13.1 PepVPN
To configure PepVPN and SpeedFusion, navigate to Advanced>SpeedFusion™ or
Advanced>PepVPN.

Copyright @ 2017 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 acesss 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

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.
Important Note
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.

13.2 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
A’s public IP addresses or hostnames into Unit B’s 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:
One of the WANs connected to Router A is non-NAT’d (212.1.1.1). The rest of the WANs connected to
Router A and all WANs connected to Router B are NAT’d. In this case, the Peer IP Addresses / Host
Names field for Router B should be filled with all of Router A’s 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.

14 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.
14.1 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.

Remote
Gateway IP
Address / Host
Name
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.
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

Important Note
Outbound policy is applied only when more than one WAN connection is active.
The settings for managing and load balancing outbound traffic are located at
Advanced>Outbound Policy or Advanced>PepVPN, depending on the model.
15.1 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
http://www.peplink.com
107
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
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.

15.2.1 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.
http://www.peplink.com
109
Copyright @ 2017 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 WAN’s 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%.
15.2.2 Algorithm: Persistence
The configuration of persistent services is the solution to the few situations where link load distribution
for Internet services is undesirable. For example, for security reasons, many e-banking and other secure
websites terminate the session when the client computer’s 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.
http://www.peplink.com
110
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
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:
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.
By Destination:
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 WAN’s Downstream Bandwidth 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.
15.2.3 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.
http://www.peplink.com
111
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
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.
15.2.4 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.
Tip
Configure multiple distribution rules to accommodate different kinds of services.
15.2.5 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.
http://www.peplink.com
112
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
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.
15.2.6 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.
15.2.7 Algorithm: Lowest Latency
The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that is selected 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.

Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
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 WAN’s available
bandwidth.
15.2.8 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.

16 Inbound Access
16.1 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 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.
http://www.peplink.com
115
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
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.
Port
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 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.

16.1.1 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.

17 NAT Mappings
NAT mappings allow IP address mapping of all inbound and outbound NAT’d 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.
http://www.peplink.com
118
Copyright @ 2017 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
This refers to the LAN host’s 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.
Range
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.
Network
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.
Inbound
Mappings
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 or IP forwarding
mode. Also note that each WAN IP address can be associated to one NAT mapping only.
Outbound
Mappings
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.
Click Save to save the settings when configuration has been completed.
Important Note
Inbound firewall rules override the Inbound Mappings settings.

18 QoS
18.1 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 button to remove 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.
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.
http://www.peplink.com
120
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
18.2 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).
18.3 Application
18.3.1 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, and↓Low. 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.
http://www.peplink.com
121
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
18.3.2 Prioritization for Custom Applications
Click the Add button to define a custom application. Click the button in the Action column to
delete the custom application in the corresponding row.
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.
18.3.3 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.
19 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:

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.
http://www.peplink.com
134
Copyright @ 2017 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 configured
LAN IP address.
● At a subsequent point when the master Pepwave router recovers, it will once again become
active.
You can configure high availability at Advanced>Misc. Settings>High Availability.

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
Administration
IP
This setting specifies a LAN IP address to be used for accessing administration functionality. This
address should be unique within the LAN.
Subnet Mask
This setting specifies the subnet mask of the LAN.
http://www.peplink.com
136
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
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.
http://www.peplink.com
137
Copyright @ 2017 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.

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 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
http://www.peplink.com
139
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
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 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.
http://www.peplink.com
140
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
DNS Forwarding
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.
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 ISP’s SMTP server. All outgoing SMTP
connections are blocked except those connecting to the ISP’s. Pepwave routers support intercepting and
redirecting all outgoing SMTP connections (destined for TCP port 25) via a WAN connection to the
WAN’s 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 ISP’s 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 connection’s original destination.
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).
http://www.peplink.com
141
Copyright @ 2017 Pepwave
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.

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
SIP
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 server’s signal port number is non-standard, you can check
the box Define custom signal ports and input the port numbers to the text boxes.
H.323
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
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 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. You may add more custom data ports that your IPsec system uses
by checking Define custom ports. If the VPN contains IPsec site-to-site VPN traffic,
check Route IPsec Site-to-Site VPN and choose the WAN connection to route the traffic to.

25.2 Firmware
Pepwave router firmware is upgradeable through the web admin interface. Firmware upgrade
functionality is located at System>Firmware.
There are two ways to upgrade the unit. The first method is through an online download. The second
method is to upload a firmware file manually.
To perform an online download, click on the Check for Firmware button. The Pepwave router will
check online for new firmware. If new firmware is available, the Pepwave router will automatically
download the firmware. The rest of the upgrade process will be automatically initiated.
You may also download a firmware image from the Peplink website and update the unit manually. To
update using a firmware image, click Choose File to select the firmware file from the local computer,
and then click Manual Upgrade to send the firmware to the Pepwave router. It will then automatically
initiate the firmware upgrade process.
Please note that all Peplink devices can store two different firmware versions in two different partitions.
A firmware upgrade will always replace the inactive partition. If you want to keep the inactive firmware,
you can simply reboot your device with the inactive firmware and then perform the firmware upgrade.
Important Note
The firmware upgrade process may not necessarily preserve the previous configuration, and the behavior varies on a case-by-
case basis. Consult the release notes for the particular firmware version before installing. Do not disconnect the power during
firmware upgrade process. Do not attempt to upload a non-firmware file or a firmware file that is not supported by Peplink.
