6.11 Configuring VPN Tunnels
The AP-5131 allows up to 25 VPN tunnels to either a VPN endpoint or to another AP-5131. VPN
tunnels allow all traffic on a local subnet to route securely through a IPSEC tunnel to a private
network. A VPN port is a virtual port which handles tunneled traffic.
When connecting to another site using a VPN, the traffic is encrypted so if anyone intercepts the
traffic, they cannot see what it is unless they can break the encryption. The traffic is encrypted from
your computer through the network to the VPN. At that point the traffic is un-encrypted.
Use the VPN screen to add and remove VPN tunnels. To configure an existing VPN tunnel, select it
from the list in the VPN Tunnels field. The selected tunnel’s configuration displays in a VPN Tunnel
Config field.
To configure a VPN tunnel on the AP-5131:
1. Select Network Configuration -> WAN -> VPN from the AP-5131 menu tree.

necessary, enter the same port in the start and end port fields.
Dst. Ports (Destination
Ports
The destination port range determines which ports the firewall rule
applies to on the destination IP address. Click on the field to
configure the source port range. A new window displays to enter
the starting and ending ports in the range. For rules where only a
single port is necessary, enter the same port in the start and end
port fields.
