Network Setup

The SK-VPN supports multiple interfaces Roles: LAN, WAN, and MGMT. The SK-VPN allows administrators to assign IP Adressess and Routes to interfaces. The SK-VPN supports IPv4 addresses. IPv6 will be supported in the future.

Interface Address Setup

The Web UI Network page is used to manage Interface Addresses.

Modify Interface Addresses

Add or modify existing Network Interface Addresses on the Web UI Network -> Interfaces page. Select the Interface to modify and click on the Actions Menu -> Edit Interface Settings.

Route Setup

Routes are used to forward packets from one interface to another. The SK-VPN allows administrators to manage system routes for the LAN and WAN interfaces.

The Web UI Network page is used to manage Routes.

Interface Role Assignment

The SK-VPN supports multiple interfaces Roles: LAN, WAN, and MGMT. Upon initialization the SK-VPN attempts to assign interfaces a LAN or WAN role based on IP address assignments.

The SK-VPN allows users to re-assign the role of an interface to be either LAN or WAN. A Reboot is required to take effect.

The Web UI Network -> Interfaces -> Assign Interface Roles is used to manage Interface Roles.

FIB Table

The SK-VPN determines how network packets are routed based on multiple decision points including: the system routes, IPsec connections and filtering rules. The Forwarding Information Base (FIB) table is used to determine the routing path for a packet.

Direct manipulation of the FIB table is not allowed as it is a combination of routing and security settings. The FIB is useful to troubleshoot routing problems.

The Web UI Network -> FIB displays the current FIB Table.
