This section explains how to specify a range of IP addresses for PPTP clients or
configure the PPTP client-side IP address to be used in the tunnel setup.
Deep Edge supports Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) to tunnel PPTP traffic between two VPN peers. Windows or Linux PPTP clients
can establish
a PPTP tunnel with a
Deep Edge that has been
configured to act as a PPTP server. As an alternative, administrators can configure
Deep Edge to forward PPTP packets to a PPTP server on
the network behind the
Deep Edge. PPTP VPN is
available only in NAT/Route mode. The current maximum number of PPTP sessions is 254.
When using Deep Edge as a PPTP gateway,
administrators can select a PPTP client IP from a local address range or use the server
defined
in the PPTP user group. administrators select which method to use for IP address retrieval
and,
in the case of the user group server, provide the IP address and the user group.
Administrators must select the local user or LDAP for authentication at tab.
