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.

Bandwidth Bonding SpeedFusionTM / PepVPN
Pepwave bandwidth bonding SpeedFusionTM 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.

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.

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>6SHHG)XVLRQΠor 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

Detection Time
The bonded VPN can detect routing failures on the path between two sites over each WAN
connection. Failed WAN connections will not be used to route VPN traffic. Health check
packets are sent to the remote unit to detect any failure. The more frequently checks are
sent, the shorter the detection time, although more bandwidth will be consumed.
When Recommended (default) is selected, a health check packet is sent every five
seconds, and the expected detection time is 15 seconds.
When Fast is selected, a health check packet is sent every three seconds, and the
expected detection time is six seconds.
When Faster is selected, a health check packet is sent every second, and the expected
detection time is two seconds.
When Extreme is selected, a health check packet is sent every 0.1 second, and the
expected detection time is less than one second.

Important Note
Peplink proprietary 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.

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

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-1$7ÂśG 212.1.1.1). The rest of the
WANs connected to Router A and all WANs connected to Router %DUH1$7ÂśG,QWKLV
case, the Peer IP Addresses / Host Names field for Router B should be filled with all of
Router $ÂśVKRVtnames 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.

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.
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. NATTraversal 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.
