In firmware v7, there are several Service Passthrough checkboxes at Advanced ->Misc. Settings. The Surf SOHO manual from Jan. 2017 says "“Some Internet services need to be specially handled in a multi-WAN environment. Pepwave routers can handle these services such that Internet applications do not notice being behind a multi-WAN router.”
Does that mean that the five Service Passthrough options are not relevant for the Surf SOHO, since it only supports one WAN connection at a time? Thank you.
SIP and H.323 are relevant. The rest you may ignore since SOHO supports WAN failover only.
Thank you TK_Liew,
1a. When you say ignore, do you mean they can be disabled (I would imagine that would be the more secure and performant setting)?
1b. If they can/should be disabled, why isn’t that the default?
2. Can you please explain exactly what SIP and H.323 passthrough do and how they should be configured? I gather they have something to do with VoIP (allowing integration of different videoconferencing systems using a shared standard?) but I’m not sure why and when exactly I should enable them (or more precisely enable H.323 since SIP is always enabled apparently).
3. Are you certain IPsec NAT-T is only relevant to multi-WAN? From what I read, it is needed for IPSec VPNs (and possibly other uses of IPSec, not sure what those would be).
Thanks again!
1a. You can leave the settings there. The packets always going the active WAN since SOHO support WAN failover only.
1b. We do have our standardized configuration.
2 Please refer to the user manual.
3 You will have problem to establish IPSec VPN in multi WAN product if this feature is disabled. SOHO will be find since it only has 1 active WAN.
