EnRoute500 User’s Guide

TR0149 Rev. C5

• A secure path between the mesh and a host, which can monitor and reconfigure the mesh,

is established. The control and status traffic passing between the mesh and the host is

protected if it passes over a public network at any point.

The state of the VPN client on the EnRoute500 is set with the ‘vpn.enable’ parameter in the

‘eth0’ interface. The address of the VPN server and port are specified with the ‘vpn.server’

and ‘vpn.port’ parameters in the ‘eth0’ interface. Note that the ‘vpn.server’ parameter can

either be an IP address or a resolvable host name. The example below shows how to

configure the VPN client to talk to a VPN server.

> use eth0

sys> set vpn.enable=yes

sys> set vpn.server=192.168.0.1

sys> set vpn.port=1194

These parameters can be set via the web interface on the “Wired/Backhaul Interface” page

when the node scheme is set to ‘gateway’.
