USER MANUAL
Peplink Balance Series
Preserve LAN
Settings Upon
Connected
The LAN port is chosen as the bridge port. Selecting this option preserves LAN settings
(e.g., LAN port IP address, DHCP server, etc.) when the Layer 2 VPN is connected.
Uncheck this option if the LAN IP address and gateway will use remote LAN settings.
Check this option if the LAN IP address and local DHCP server should remain unchanged
after the VPN is up.
If you choose not to preserve LAN settings when the VPN is connected, the device will not
act as a router, and most Layer 3 routing functions will cease to work.
WAN Connection Priority
WAN Connection
Priority
You can specify the priority of the WAN connections to be used in making VPN bonding
connections. A Wan connection will never be used when OFF is selected. Only available
WAN connections with the highest priority will be utilized.
Link Failure Detection
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 frequent checks it sends,
the shorter detection time, but the higher bandwidth overhead will be consumed.
When Recommended is selected, a health check packet is sent out every 5 seconds, and
the expected detection time is 15 seconds.
When Fast is selected, a health check packet is sent out every 3 seconds, and the
expected detection time is 6 seconds.
When Faster is selected, a health check packet is sent out every 1 second, and the
expected detection time is 2 seconds.
When Extreme is selected, a health check packet is sent out every 0.1 second, and the
expected detection time is under 1 second.
By default, Recommended is selected.
Important Note to Users Upgrading to Firmware 5.4
The Bandwidth Bonding SpeedFusion
TM
in firmware 5.4recommendsthe same firmware version for all devices in the
VPN network. The feature is backwards compatible with firmware version 5.3&5.2.
Important Note
Peplink proprietary SpeedFusion
TM
used TCP port 32015 and UDP port 4500 for establishing VPN connections. If
you have a firewall in front of the Peplink Balance devices, you will need to add firewall rules for these port and
protocols which will allow inbound and outbound traffic pass-through the firewall.
