About ATMP Tunnels
To set up an ATMP tunnel, you create a Connection Profile including the IP address and other relevant
information for the remote ATMP par tner. ATMP uses the terminology of a
foreign agent
that initiates tunnels
and a
home agent
that terminates them. You use the same procedure to initiate or terminate an ATMP tunnel.
Used in this way, the terms
initiate
and
terminate
mean the beginning and end of the tunnel; they do not mean
activate
and
deactivate
.
ATMP is a tunneling protocol, with two basic aspects. Tunnels are created and torn down using a session
protocol that is UDP-based. User (or client) data is transferred across the tunnel by encapsulating the client
data within Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE). The GRE data is then routed using standard methods.
ATMP configuration
ATMP is a Datalink Encapsulation option in Connection Profiles. It is not an option in device or link configuration
screens, since ATMP is not a native encapsulation. The Easy Setup Profile does not offer ATMP datalink
encapsulation. See
"Creating a New Connection Profile" on page 2-8
for information on creating Connection
Profiles.
The WAN Event Histor y screens will repor t VPN tunnel events, such as connections and disconnections, as
Channel 4 (and higher) events.
To define an ATMP tunnel, navigate to the
Add Connection Profile
menu from the Main Menu.
