In this tutorial, Peter from West Networks explains how to Broadcast Layer2 VLAN over SpeedFusion Split tunnel!

Create the VLAN:
- First, make sure all devices are in InControl and online.
- Menu: "Network Settings" > "VLAN Networks"
- Click "Add VLAN Network" on the left:
- Setting applied in video: Note: DHCP server can be selected as "disable" or "Unmanaged" Do not "enable" this will auto push VLAN settings and you will lose some control
- Go back to the Dashboard check that it is pushing the configurations.
(In the Device list, the "Last Config Applied" section to the right) - Go to your devices to make sure the Layer2 VLAN is working properly
(Under the device > Network > Network settings > VLAN10) - Next you will want to change the LAN IP Settings for each device:
- Looking at Peter's example: He has three devices (SDX, 310, HD2)
- He changes the IP Address to be sequential.
- First is the SDX:
He leaves the IP Address "172.16.10.1" and leaves DHCP "enable" checked - Second is the 310:
Changes IP Address "172.16.10.2" and Disables DHCP by un-checking the "enable" box (to avoid DHCP conflicts) - Third is the HD2: Changes IP Address to "172.16.10.3" and Disables DHCP by un-checking the "enable" box (to avoid DHCP conflicts)
- Save and Apply
Creating SpeedFusion with a sub tunnel:
- In the Menu "PepVPN / SpeedFusion" > "Configuration"
- Check the "Enabled" box under "PepVPN / SpeedFusion Configuration title
- "Add Profile" bottom left of the screen, under the map.
- "Star" profile, because we will have a lot of connections
- In the new "Advanced Link Settings" window, find the "Tunnel Name" and rename it "VLAN10-L2". This will be your sub tunnel.
- Click "Save" then "OK"
- Edit the sub tunnel name for the next device: Find the next device on the list. in this case it is the "HD2 5G" device. Click "Edit" to the right.
- Click "Add" to add a new sub tunnel.
- Change the "Tunnel Name" to be the same as the first: "VLAN10-L2"
- Click "Save" then "Ok"
- Click "Save"
- Click "Next"
- Click "save Changes" this will be back in the "PepVPN / SpeedFusion" view
Setting up the Layer2:
-
SDX Device setup:
- Make sure you are back at main dashboard for your SDX. In the menu:
"Network" find "Network Settings" on the top left, click on "LLAN10-L2"
- Make sure you are back at main dashboard for your SDX. In the menu:
- Now we need to tell the Layer2 network to broadcast as a Layer2 over SpeedFusion. Under the "Network Settings" section, if you look to the right you will see a Question mark.
- Click the "Question Mark" then Click "here" in the pop-up.
- This will give you more options by adding a box titled "Layer2 PepVPN Bridging. in the first option select the 310 5G device.
- Click the "+"

- Select the HD2 device. It should look like this:
- Click "Save" at the bottom. This will close that pop-up
- Now Click "Apply Changes" at the top middle:
Setting up the 310 5G device:
- This will repeat a lot from the SDX, first go to the 310 Dashboard, then in the menu: "Network" find "Network Settings" to the left, then click "VLAN10-L2"
- Once there Click the "Question Mark" in the "Network Settings" section then click "here" link
- With the new options "Layer 2 PepVPN Bridging" available.
Add the SDX from the "Profile name" drop down. - Click "Save" this will close those options
- Click "Apply Changes" top bar middle
Setting up HD2 device:
- Make sure you are looking at the Dashboard of your HD2 5G device. Repeat steps above for "Setting up the 310 5g device"
- Click "Status" tab in the top menu to view the status of the tunnel
Checking Status:
- Going to the 310 device Dashboard, click "Status" to check the status of the tunnel.
- Moving to the SDX Dashboard, you should see four Tunnels, 2 Tunnels to each router.
