Description:

In scenarios with a WLAN point-to-point connection between two sites, the failure of the P2P link could cause production downtime.

In this case it is worthwhile for the P2P link to have a backup over a VPN connection. This requires both locations to have an Internet connection.

This article describes how to set up a P2P link and create a VPN connection as a backup for the P2P link.


Requirements:
  • Both sites already have a configured and functional Internet connection
  • Both sites have separate IP address ranges




Scenario:

1) The P2P link is implemented with separate access points
  • There are two sites: Each site has an access point and a router.
  • The access points support the P2P link
  • The routers use the P2P link between the access points to establish a plain Ethernet connection (IPoE).
  • If the P2P link fails, a VPN connection is established between the two sites.

2) The P2P link is established using the WLAN module integrated in the router
  • There are two sites: Each site has a WLAN router.
  • The WLAN routers implement the P2P link
  • The routers use the P2P link between them to establish a plain Ethernet connection (IPoE).
  • If the P2P link fails, a VPN connection is established between the two sites.

Configuration at site A:

1) Configuring router A:

1.1) Set up a VPN connection to router B using the Setup Wizard. This is described in the following article:

    • 1.2.1) Under the
IP parameters
    • , enter a
transfer network
    • used for
communications between routers A and B
    • .

      • IP address: Give router A an IP address from the transfer network.
      • Netmask: Enter the netmask of the transfer network.
      • Default gateway: Enter the IP address of router B in the transfer network (see step 3.2.1).
Important:
The IP address range of the transfer network must not be in use at site A or site B, otherwise problems with routing will occur!
