Objective

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a private network that is used to virtually connect devices of the remote user through the public network to provide security. VPN summary is used to display general information of the VPN tunnels like how many VPN tunnels are available, how many are enabled, how many are used. Also it displays the Gateway to Gateway, Client to Gateway and Group VPN status.

This article explains VPN summary on the RV32x VPN Router Series.

Applicable Devices

• RV320 Dual WAN VPN Router

VPN Summary

Step 1. Log in to the web configuration utility and choose VPN > Summary. The Summary page opens:

Virtual IP Range

Step 1. Virtual IP Range is the range of IP addresses which are used for VPN tunnels. Click Edit to edit the Virtual IP Range. The Virtual IP Range window opens:

Step 2. Enter the starting IP address for the VPN tunnel in the Range Start field.

Step 3. Enter the ending IP address for the VPN tunnel in the Range End field.

Step 4. (Optional) If you want to use a DNS server, enter the IP address of the DNS server in the DNS Server 1 field. The default is 0.0.0.0 which represents dynamically assigned DNS server.

Note: It is recommended to provide specific IP address of the DNS server if you know rather than dynamic DNS as it provides faster access than dynamic DNS.

Step 5. (Optional) If you want to use a secondary DNS server, enter the IP address of the second DNS server in the DNS Server 2 field. The default is 0.0.0.0 which is dynamically assigned DNS server.

Step 6. (Optional) If you want to use a WINS server, enter IP address of the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) Server in the WINS Server 1 field. WINS server  reduces the traffic to broadcast NETBIOS name query as the client can directly resolves the NETBIOS name to IP from the WINS server. The default is 0.0.0.0 which represents dynamically assigned WINS server.

Step 7. (Optional) If you want to use a secondary WINS server, enter IP address of the second Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) Server in the WINS Server 2 field. The default is 0.0.0.0 which represents dynamically assigned WINS server.

Step 8. Enter the domain name in the Domain Name 1 field if the router has a static IP address and a registered domain name.

Step 9. (Optional) If you want a second domain name, enter the second domain name in the Domain Name 2 field if the router has a static IP address and a registered domain name.

Step 10. (Optional) If you want a third domain name, enter the third domain name in the Domain Name 3 field if the router has a static IP address and a registered domain name.

Step 11. (Optional) If you want a fourth domain name, enter the fourth domain name in the Domain Name 4 field if the router has a static IP address and a registered domain name.

Step 12. Click Save to save the settings.
