Important Note
In order to use dynamic DNS services, appropriate hostname registration(s), as well as a valid account with a supported dynamic DNS service provider, are required.
A dynamic DNS update is performed whenever a WAN’s IP address is changed, such as when an IP is changed after a DHCP
IP refresh or reconnection.
Due to dynamic DNS service providers’ policies, a dynamic DNS host expires automatically when the host record has not been not updated for a long time. Therefore, the Peplink Balance performs an update every 23 days, even if a WAN’s IP address did
not change.

Automatic Public DNS Server Check on DNS Test Failure
When the health check method is set to DNS Lookup and health checks fail, the Pepwave router will automatically perform DNS lookups on public DNS servers. If the tests are successful, the WAN may not be down, but rather the target DNS server malfunctioned. You will see the following warning message on the main page:
10.5 Dynamic DNS Settings
Pepwave routers are capable of registering the domain name relationships to dynamic DNS service providers. Through registration with dynamic DNS service provider(s), the default public Internet IP address of each WAN connection can be associated with a host name. With dynamic DNS service enabled for a WAN connection, you can connect to your WAN's IP address from the external, even if its IP address is dynamic. You must register for an account from the listed dynamic DNS service providers before enabling this option.
If the WAN connection's IP address is a reserved private IP address (i.e., behind a NAT router), the public IP of each WAN will be automatically reported to the DNS service provider.
Either upon a change in IP addresses or every 23 days without link reconnection, the Pepwave router
will connect to the dynamic DNS service provider to perform an IP address update within the provider’s
records.
The settings for dynamic DNS service provider(s) and the association of hostname(s) are configured via Network>WAN>Details>Dynamic DNS Service Provider/Dynamic DNS Settings.

13 Bandwidth Bonding SpeedFusion
Pepwave bandwidth bonding SpeedFusionTM is our patented technology that enables our SD-WAN routers to bond multiple Internet connections to increase site-to-site bandwidth and reliability. SpeedFusion functionality securely connects your Pepwave router to another Pepwave or Peplink device (Peplink Balance 210/310/380/580/710/1350 only). Data, voice, or video communications between these locations are kept confidential across the public Internet.
Bandwidth bonding SpeedFusionTM is specifically designed for multi-WAN environments. In case of failures and network congestion at one or more WANs, other WANs can be used to continue carrying the network traffic.
Different models of our SD-WAN routers have different numbers of site-to-site connections allowed. End-users who need to have more site-to-site connections can purchase a SpeedFusion license to increase the number of site-to-site connections allowed.
Pepwave routers can aggregate all WAN connections’ bandwidth for routing SpeedFusion Unless all the WAN connections of one site are down, Pepwave routers can keep the VPN up and running.

traffic.
VPN bandwidth bonding is supported in Firmware 5.1 or above. All available bandwidth will be utilized to establish the VPN tunnel, and all traffic will be load balanced at packet level across all links. VPN bandwidth bonding is enabled by default.

The local LAN subnet and subnets behind the LAN (defined under Static Route on the LAN settings page) will be advertised to the VPN. All VPN members (branch offices and headquarters) will be able to route to local subnets. Note that all LAN subnets and the subnets behind them must be unique. Otherwise, VPN members will not be able to access each other.
All data can be routed over the VPN using the 256-bit AES encryption standard. To configure, navigate to Advanced>SpeedFusion™ or Advanced>PepVPN and click the New Profile button to create a new VPN profile (you may have to first save the displayed default profile in order to acesss the New Profile button). Each profile specifies the settings for making VPN connection with one remote Pepwave or Peplink device. Note that available settings vary by model.
A list of defined SpeedFusion connection profiles and a Link Failure Detection Time option will be shown. Click the New Profile button to create a new VPN connection profile for making a VPN connection to a remote Peplink Balance via the available WAN connections. Each profile is for making a VPN connection with one remote Peplink Balance.

PepVPN Profile Settings
Name
This field is for specifying a name to represent this profile. The name can be any combination of alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z, a-z), underscores (_), dashes (-), and/or non-leading/trailing spaces ( ).
Active
When this box is checked, this VPN connection profile will be enabled. Otherwise, it will be disabled.
Encryption
By default, VPN traffic is encrypted with 256-bit AES. If Off is selected on both sides of a VPN connection, no encryption will be applied.
Authentication
Select from By Remote ID Only, Preshared Key, or X.509 to specify the method the Peplink Balance will use to authenticate peers. When selecting By Remote ID Only, be sure to enter a unique peer ID number in the Remote ID field.
Remote ID /
Pre-shared Key
This optional field becomes available when Remote ID / Pre-shared Key is selected as the Peplink Balance’s VPN Authentication method, as explained above. Pre-shared Key defines the pre-shared key used for this particular VPN connection. The VPN connection's session key will be further protected by the pre-shared key. The connection will be up only if the pre-shared keys on each side match. When the peer is running firmware 5.0+, this setting will be ignored.
Enter Remote IDs either by typing out each Remote ID and Pre-shared Key, or by pasting a CSV. If

Remote ID
When this option is enabled, the router will allow multiple peers to run using the same remote ID.
NAT Mode
Check this box to allow the local DHCP server to assign an IP address to the remote peer. When NAT Mode is enabled, all remote traffic over the VPN will be tagged with the assigned IP address using network address translation.
Remote IP
Address / Host
Names
(Optional)
If NAT Mode is not enabled, you can enter a remote peer’s WAN IP address or hostname(s) here. If the remote uses more than one address, enter only one of them here. Multiple hostnames are allowed and can be separated by a space character or carriage return. Dynamic-DNS host names are also accepted.
This field is optional. With this field filled, the Peplink Balance will initiate connection to each of the remote IP addresses until it succeeds in making a connection. If the field is empty, the Peplink Balance will wait for connection from the remote peer. Therefore, at least one of the two VPN peers must specify this value. Otherwise, VPN connections cannot be established.
Cost
Define path cost for this profile. OSPF will determine the best route through the network using the assigned cost. Default: 10
Data Port
This field is used to specify a UDP port number for transporting outgoing VPN data. If Default is selected, UDP port 4500 will be used. Port 32015 will be used if the remote unit uses Firmware prior to version 5.4 or if port 4500 is unavailable. If Custom is selected, enter an outgoing port number from 1 to 65535.
Bandwidth Limit
Define maximum download and upload speed to each individual peer. This functionality requires the peer to use PepVPN version 4.0.0 or above.

Backward
Compatibility
Determine the level of backward compatibility needed for PepVPN tunnels. The use of the Latest setting is recommended as it will improve the performance and resilience of SpeedFusion connections.
Link Failure
Detection Time
The bonded VPN can detect routing failures on the path between two sites over each WAN connection. Failed WAN connections will not be used to route VPN traffic. Health check packets are sent to the remote unit to detect any failure. The more frequently checks are sent, the shorter the detection time, although more bandwidth will be consumed. When Recommended (default) is selected, a health check packet is sent every five seconds, and the expected detection time is 15 seconds. When Fast is selected, a health check packet is sent every three seconds, and the expected detection time is six seconds. When Faster is selected, a health check packet is sent every second, and the expected detection time is two seconds. When Extreme is selected, a health check packet is sent every 0.1 second, and the expected detection time is less than one second.
Important Note
Peplink proprietary SpeedFusionTM uses TCP port 32015 and UDP port 4500 for establishing VPN connections. If you have a firewall in front of your Pepwave devices, you will need to add firewall rules for these ports and protocols to allow inbound and outbound traffic to pass through the firewall.

13.2 The Pepwave Router Behind a NAT Router
Pepwave routers support establishing SpeedFusionTM over WAN connections which are behind a NAT (network address translation) router.
To enable a WAN connection behind a NAT router to accept VPN connections, you can configure the NAT router in front of the WAN connection to inbound port-forward TCP port 32015 to the Pepwave router.
If one or more WAN connections on Unit A can accept VPN connections (by means of port forwarding or not), while none of the WAN connections on the peer Unit B can do so, you should enter all of Unit A’s public IP addresses or hostnames into Unit B’s Remote IP Addresses / Host Names field. Leave the field in Unit A blank. With this setting, a SpeedFusion connections on both sides will be utilized.

One of the WANs connected to Router A is non-NAT’d (212.1.1.1). The rest of the WANs connected to
Router A and all WANs connected to Router B are NAT’d. In this case, the Peer IP Addresses / Host Names field for Router B should be filled with all of Router A’s hostnames or public IP addresses (i.e.,
212.1.1.1, 212.2.2.2, and 212.3.3.3), and the field in Router A can be left blank. The two NAT routers on WAN1 and WAN3 connected to Router A should inbound port-forward TCP port 32015 to Router A so that all WANs will be utilized in establishing the VPN.
