In this article, we will learn the steps to configure Failover on Ruijie SMB devices:

Introduction

VPN

Virtual Private Network (VPN): It is a technology used to interconnect two or more private networks located in different sites or to connect a remote client to a company's network.

  • PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol): Utilizes port 1723 in TCP.

Note: It is necessary to have a public or dynamic IP to perform port forwarding of the port.

Configuration

1.- Access our router and select the "Router or Gateway" tab.

*If it has the default IP, it is 192.168.110.1.

2.- Select the VPN -> PPTP section.

Enable the option
​

3.- Fill in the following parameters as follows:

  • PPTP Type: Choose whether to work as a VPN Server or Client. (Server)

  • Local Tunnel IP: The IP that this device will have within the VPN tunnel segment.

  • IP Range: DHCP range that will be assigned to clients connecting to the VPN.

  • DNS Server: You can use Google's DNS servers.

  • MPPE: Data encryption (only used with IPSec).

  • Flow Control: Prevent congestion and ensure efficient data transmission

  • Keep-Alive Interval: A short interval, such as 10 seconds.

Save changes.

4.- We are going to generate our clients, which can be "LAN to LAN" or "LAN to PC" Go to the VPN -> VPN Clients section and add a new user.

- Add a VPN user for PC:

  • Service Type: Enabled protocol (PPTP)

  • Username: Identify the user (Any desired username without spaces)

  • User Password: Enter the password for the VPN client

  • Network Mode: PC to router

  • Status: Enable

- Add a VPN user for LAN to LAN:

  • Service Type: Enabled protocol (PPTP)

  • Username: Identify the user (Any desired username without spaces)

  • User Password: *******

  • Network Mode: Router to router

  • Same Level Subnet: Network segment that the client router manages

  • Status: Enable

Verification

If you are going to configure the Router to Router with another Ruijie, you can follow the VPN Client manual.

If you are connecting a real PC client, perform the configuration according to the operating system used on the VPN client.
