Layer 2 PepVPN Bridging

PepVPN

Profiles to

Bridge

The remote network of the selected PepVPN profiles will be bridged with this local LAN,

creating a Layer 2 PepVPN, they will be connected and operate like a single LAN, and any

broadcast or multicast packets will be sent over the VPN.

Spanning Tree

Protocol

Click the box will enable STP for this layer 2 profile bridge.

Override IP

Address when

bridge

connected

Select "Do not override" if the LAN IP address and local DHCP server should remain

unchanged after the Layer 2 PepVPN is up.

If you choose to override IP address when the VPN is connected, the device will not act as a

router, and most Layer 3 routing functions will cease to work.

DHCP Server Settings

DHCP Server

When this setting is enabled, the Pepwave router’s DHCP server automatically assigns an

IP address to each computer that is connected via LAN and configured to obtain an IP

address via DHCP. The Pepwave router’s DHCP server can prevent IP address collisions

on the LAN.

To enable DHCP bridge relay, please click the icon on this menu item.

IP Range &

Subnet Mask

These settings allocate a range of IP address that will be assigned to LAN computers by the

Pepwave router’s DHCP server.

Lease Time

This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a DHCP client

remains valid. Upon expiration of Lease Time, the assigned IP address will no longer be

valid and the IP address assignment must be renewed.

DNS Servers

This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to DHCP clients. If

Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Pepwave router’s built-in DNS server

address (i.e., LAN IP address) will be offered.
