6.4.3 PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of
data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using
TCP/IP-based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public
networks, such as the Internet.
The screen shown next is for PPTP encapsulation.
Use fixed IP
address
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
My WAN IP
Address
Enter your WAN IP address in this field if you selected Use Fixed IP Address.
Remote IP
Address

Remote IP
Subnet Mask
Enter the Rmote IP subnet Mask in this field.
Metric (PPPoE
and PPTP only)
This field sets this route's priority among the routes the Prestige uses.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route
for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses hop
count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly connected
networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number greater than "15"
means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the "cost".
Private (PPPoE
and PPTP only)
This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote node
in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in RIP
broadcast. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts
through RIP broadcasts.
WAN MAC
Address
Spoof WAN MAC
Address
The MAC address section allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address
by either using the factory default or cloning the MAC address from a computer on
your LAN. Clear the check box to use the factory assigned default MAC Address.
Clone the
computer’s MAC
address
Click Clone the computer's MAC address - IP Address and enter the IP address
of the computer on the LAN whose MAC you are cloning. Once it is successfully
configured, the address will be copied to the rom file (ZyNOS configuration file). It
will not change unless you change the setting or upload a different ROM file.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the Prestige.
