Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

Hi,

I have established a LAN-to-LAN IPsec VPN connection between my ER605 and a remote network.

This is working and from both networks I can access the other local network devices. 

 

I would now like that for one specific Ethernet port on the ER605, all traffic is to be routed through the VPN connection. I.e. for this specific port, a connected device would access internet not through the local WAN but through the VPN tunnel.

 

How would I do this?

 

I would have expected that I would need to

1) Create a new VLAN and assing it to the required port

2) Create IP_Group for VLAN

3) Create Policy Routing with created IP_Group as Source IP and VPN as WAN.

Unfortunately, the Selectable WAN is only the local WAN and the UBS-Modem, not the VPN connection.

 

Any hints what I would need to do?

you cannot route all traffic through IPsec site to site,

policy routing only works on PPTP L2TP and WAN interface.

Hi @coogee86 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

1. Figure out what IPsec site-to-site is made for. Your whole request will be explained.

2. Use the client-to-site and set up Policy Routing. L2TP is supported.

3. A VPN tunnel cannot be limited to a specific port. It is not on layer 1. And you cannot designate it to layer 1 anyway.
