Configure Virtual Private Networking (VPN) IPsec parameters
Digi TransPort WR Routers User Guide 457
Source Port Normal/Variable
These radio buttons select the source port for the L2TP tunnel. Setting this setting to Normal
uses the default port number, 1701. If set to Variable, this setting uses a random source port
value.
Name
The name that identifies the router during the negotiation phase when establishing an L2TP
tunnel.
Authentication Off/Secret
The radio buttons select whether or not to use authentication. This is normally set to Off as most
host systems require using IPsec over L2TP tunnels. If Authentication is set to On,
authentication is enabled and the Secret parameter becomes relevant. The value in the text box
contains a passphrase shared with the host. The router uses this passphrase if the remote host
requests authentication and Authentication is set to Off here.
