Chapter 3: Wall-Mount Placement
Installation The Router has two wall-mount slots on its bottom

panel. The distance between the two slots is 94 mm
(3.70 inches).
Physical Installation Two screws are needed to mount the Router.
There are three ways to place the Router. The first way is Suggested Mounting Hardware

Follow these instructions:
1. Determine where you want to mount the Router. Make
sure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry, and
sturdy. Also make sure the location is within reach of
an electrical outlet.
2. Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are
94 mm (3.07 inches) apart.
3. Insert a screw into each hole and leave 2 mm
(0.8 inches) below the head exposed.
4. Maneuver the Router so two of the wall-mount slots
line up with the two screws.

System Management > SNMP

SNMP, or Simple Network Management Protocol, is a
network protocol that provides network administrators
with the ability to monitor the status of the Router and
receive notification of any critical events as they occur on
the network. The Router supports SNMP v1/v2c and all
relevant Management Information Base II (MIBII) groups.

Appendix D IPSec NAT Traversal
Appendix D: Configuration of Scenario 1

IPSec NAT Traversal In this scenario, Router A is the RVL200 Initiator, while
Router B is the RVL200 Responder.
Overview
Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal is a technique
developed so that data protected by IPSec can pass
through a NAT. (See NAT 1 and NAT 2 in the diagram.)
Since IPSec provides integrity for the entire IP datagram, WAN: 192.168.99.11
NAT 2 - RV016 WAN: 192.168.99.22
any changes to the IP addressing will invalidate the data. Router B - RVL200
LAN: 192.168.111.1
To resolve this issue, NAT traversal appends a new IP and Responder
UDP header to the incoming datagram, ensuring that no LAN: 192.168.2.0/24
changes are made to the incoming datagram stream.
This chapter discusses two scenarios. In the first scenario,
Router A initiates IKE negotiation, while in the second WAN: 192.168.111.101
scenario, Router B initiates IKE negotiation. In the second NAT 1 - RV016
scenario, since the IKE responder is behind a NAT device, a LAN: 192.168.11.1
one-to-one NAT rule is required on the NAT device.
