 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  33    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave   5 Advanced Feature Summary 5.1  Drop-in Mode and LAN Bypass: Transparent Deployment  As your organization grows, it needs more bandwidth. But modifying your network would require effort better spent elsewhere. In Drop-in Mode, you can conveniently install your Peplink router without making any changes to your network. And if the Peplink router loses power for any reason, LAN Bypass will safely and automatically bypass the Peplink router to resume your original network connection.  Compatible with: MAX 700, MAX HD2 (All variants), HD4 (All Variants)  5.2  QoS: Clearer VoIP  VoIP and videoconferencing are highly sensitive to latency. With QoS, Peplink routers can detect VoIP traffic and assign it the highest priority, giving you crystal-clear calls.
 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  34    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave   5.3  Per-User Bandwidth Control  With per-user bandwidth control, you can define bandwidth control policies for up to 3 groups of users to prevent network congestion. Define groups by IP address and subnet, and set bandwidth limits for every user in the group.  5.4  High Availability via VRRP   When your organization has a corporate requirement demanding the highest availability with no single point of failure, you can deploy two Peplink routers in High Availability mode. With High Availability mode, the second device will take over when needed.  Compatible with: MAX 700, MAX HD2 (All variants), HD4 (All Variants)

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.

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.
 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  89    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave     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. PepVPN Profile Settings Name 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 ( ). Active 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 Balance’s 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.
 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  90    Copyright @ 2016 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   icon next to the “Remote ID / Preshared Key” setting. Remote ID/Remote Certificate These optional fields become available when X.509 is selected as the Peplink Balance’s 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 peer’s 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. 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.

 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  92    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave        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 must be entered in the remote unit's Remote ID field. Click the   icon to edit Local ID.   PepVPN Settings Handshake PortA To designate a custom handshake port (TCP), click the custom radio button and enter the port number you wish to designate. 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.  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.

 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  94    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave   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.
 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  95    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave   13.3  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.
 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  96    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave   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.

 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  98    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave   will be disabled. Connect Upon Disconnection of Check this box and select a WAN to connect to this VPN automatically when the specified WAN is disconnected. 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 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.  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
 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  99    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave   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.  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.
