The settings for managing and load balancing outbound traffic are located at Advanced>Outbound Policy or Advanced>PepVPN, depending on the model. 15.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual Application Compatibility highest application compatibility. Normal Application Compatibility Outbound traffic from a source LAN device to the same destination Internet IP address will be routed through the same WAN connection persistently, regardless of protocol. This option provides high compatibility to most applications, and users still benefit from WAN link load balancing when multiple Internet servers are accessed.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual The bottom-most rule is Default. Edit this rule to change the device’s default manner of controlling outbound traffic for all connections that do not match any of the rules above it. Under the Service heading, click Default to change these settings. To rearrange the priority of outbound rules, drag and drop them into the desired sequence. By default, Auto is selected as the Default Rule. You can select Custom to change the algorithm to be used.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual New Custom Rule Settings Service Name Enable This setting specifies the name of the outbound traffic rule. This setting specifies whether the outbound traffic rule takes effect. When Enable is checked, the rule takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule. When Enable is unchecked, the rule does not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards the other parameters of the rule.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual Protocol and Port This setting specifies the IP protocol and port of traffic that matches this rule. This setting specifies the behavior of the Pepwave router for the custom rule. One of the following values can be selected (note that some Pepwave routers provide only some of these options): Algorithm Weighted Balance Persistence Enforced Priority Overflow Least Used Lowest Latency The upcoming sections detail the listed algorithms.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual 15.2.1 Algorithm: Weighted Balance This setting specifies the ratio of WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Weighted Balance. The amount of matching traffic that is distributed to a WAN connection is proportional to the weight of the WAN connection relative to the total weight. Use the sliders to change each WAN’s weight.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual 15.2.2 Algorithm: Persistence The configuration of persistent services is the solution to the few situations where link load distribution for Internet services is undesirable. For example, for security reasons, many e-banking and other secure websites terminate the session when the client computer’s Internet IP address changes mid-session. In general, different Internet IP addresses represent different computers.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual 15.2.3 Algorithm: Enforced This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Enforced. Matching traffic will be routed through the specified WAN connection, regardless of the health check status of the WAN connection. Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be enforced to go through a specified SpeedFusionTM connection. 15.2.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual Drag and drop to specify the order of WAN connections to be used for routing traffic. Only the highest priority healthy connection that is not in full load will be used. 15.2.6 Algorithm: Least Used The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that is selected in Connection and has the most available download bandwidth.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual A latency sensitive application must be routed through the lowest latency WAN, regardless of the WAN’s available bandwidth. 15.2.8 Expert Mode Expert Mode is available on some Pepwave routers for use by advanced users. To enable the feature, click on the help icon and click turn on Expert Mode. In Expert Mode, a new special rule, SpeedFusionTM Routes, is displayed in the Custom Rules table. This rule represents all SpeedFusionTM routes learned from remote VPN peers.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual 16 Inbound Access 16.1 Port Forwarding Service Pepwave routers can act as a firewall that blocks, by default, all inbound access from the Internet. By using port forwarding, Internet users can access servers behind the Pepwave router. Inbound port forwarding rules can be defined at Advanced>Port Forwarding. To define a new service, click Add Service. Port Forwarding Settings Enable This setting specifies whether the inbound service takes effect.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual The Port setting specifies the port(s) that correspond to the service, and can be configured to behave in one of the following manners: Any Port, Single Port, Port Range, Port Map, and Range Mapping Any Port: all traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol is forwarded to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Any Port, all TCP traffic is forwarded to the configured servers.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual 16.1.1 UPnP / NAT-PMP Settings UPnP and NAT-PMP are network protocols which allow a computer connected to the LAN port to automatically configure the router to allow parties on the WAN port to connect to itself. That way, the process of inbound port forwarding becomes automated. When a computer creates a rule using these protocols, the specified TCP/UDP port of all WAN connections' default IP address will be forwarded.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual 17 NAT Mappings NAT mappings allow IP address mapping of all inbound and outbound NAT’dt raffic to and from an internal client IP address. Settings to configure NAT mappings are located at Advanced>NAT Mappings. To add a rule for NAT mappings, click Add NAT Rule. NAT Mapping Settings LAN Client(s) NAT mapping rules can be defined for a single LAN IP Address, an IP Range, or an IP Network. Address This refers to the LAN host’s private IP address.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual Inbound Mappings Outbound Mappings This setting specifies the WAN connections and corresponding WAN-specific Internet IP addresses on which the system should bind. Any access to the specified WAN connection(s) and IP address(es) will be forwarded to the LAN host. This option is only available when IP Address is selected in the LAN Client(s) field. Note that inbound mapping is not needed for WAN connections in drop-in mode or IP forwarding mode.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual 18 QoS 18.1 User Groups LAN and PPTP clients can be categorized into three user groups: Manager, Staff, and Guest. This menu allows you to define rules and assign client IP addresses or subnets to a user group. You can apply different bandwidth and traffic prioritization policies on each user group in the Bandwidth Control and Application sections (note that the options available here vary by model). The table is automatically sorted by rule precedence.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual 18.2 Bandwidth Control You can define a maximum download speed (over all WAN connections) and upload speed (for each WAN connection) that each individual Staff and Guest member can consume. No limit can be imposed on individual Manager members. By default, download and upload bandwidth limits are set to unlimited (set as 0). 18.3 Application 18.3.

Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual Inbound / Outbound Firewall Settings Rule Name Enable This setting specifies a name for the firewall rule. This setting specifies whether the firewall rule should take effect. If the box is checked, the firewall rule takes effect. If the traffic matches the specified protocol/IP/port, actions will be taken by the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule. If the box is not checked, the firewall rule does not take effect.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual This setting specifies whether or not to log matched firewall events. The logged messages are shown on the page Status>Event Log. A sample message is as follows: Aug 13 23:47:44 Denied CONN=Ethernet WAN SRC=20.3.2.1 DST=192.168.1.

Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual Important Note For Pepwave routers in NAT mode, the virtual IP (VIP) should be set as the default gateway for all hosts on the LAN segment. For example, a firewall sitting behind the Pepwave router should set its default gateway as the virtual IP instead of the IP of the master router. In drop-in mode, no other configuration needs to be set. Please note that the drop-in WAN cannot be configured as a LAN bypass port while it is configured for high availability. http://www.
