Enable or disable the following settings, as needed:
• IPSec Passthrough: Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a suite of
protocols used to implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer.
IPSec Passthrough is enabled by default to allow IPSec tunnels to pass
through the router.
• PPTP Passthrough: Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows the
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP network. PPTP
Passthrough is enabled by default.
• L2TP Passthrough: Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is the method used to
enable Point-to-Point sessions via the Internet on the Layer 2 level. L2TP
Passthrough is enabled by default.
Setting Up PPTP Server
Use the VPN > PPTP Server page to enable up to five PPTP (Point-to-Point
Tunneling Protocol) VPN tunnels for users who are running PPTP client software on
Windows XP or 2000. PPTP clients are included by default in Microsoft Windows.
NOTE In Windows XP/2000, a user opens the Network Connections panel and creates a
new connection. In the wizard, the user selects the option to create a connection to
the workplace using a Virtual Private Network connection. The user will need to
know the host name or IP address for the router. This value needs to match the value
that you enter on the VPN > PPTP Server page. The wizard guides the user to
create a desktop shortcut, which can be used to launch the client. To connect, the
