The local bridge is a function often used by the SoftEther VPN to make VPN
connections. Local bridging is used to connect a virtual network and a physical
network on the Ethernet level. This section will explain local bridge concepts,
methods for setting them and precautions.

 


3.6.1 WHAT IS A LOCAL BRIDGE?

The local bridge connection function (herein referred to as local bridge) can
connect a Virtual Hub operating on the VPN Server or VPN Bridge and the physical
network adapter connected to that server computer on a layer 2 connection,
thereby joining two segments which originally operated as separate Ethernet
segments into one.

Local bridging enables a computer connected to a Virtual Hub and a computer
connected to a physical LAN to communicate freely on an Ethernet level
connected, in theory, to the same Ethernet segment, regardless of whether each
of them is physically linked to a separate network.

Using a local bridge makes it possible to easily construct a remote-access VPN
and site-to-site VPN. For details, please refer to 10.4 Build a Generic Remote
Access VPN, 10.5 Build a LAN-to-LAN VPN (Using L2 Bridge) and 10.6 Build a
LAN-to-LAN VPN (Using L3 IP Routing).

3.6.2 LOCAL BRIDGE SETTINGS & OPERATION

AUTHORITY REQUIRED TO CREATE A LOCAL BRIDGE

A local bridge is defined by designating a combination of a network adapter
(Ethernet adapter) physically connected to a VPN Server or VPN Bridge and a
Virtual Hub. The creation of a new local bridge or the removal of an existing
local bridge can only be carried out by the entire VPN Server Administrator. A
Virtual Hub Administrator cannot arbitrarily create a local bridge even if it is
for their Virtual Hub.

LOCAL BRIDGE OPERATIONS

Once a local bridge is defined, it is possible to send and receive Ethernet
packets between the designated Virtual Hub and physical network adapter. The
local bridge function automatically terminates when the designated Virtual Hub
name does not exist or when the physical network adapter does not exist or has
been disabled by the operating system. However, it restarts automatically once
the cause of the termination is eliminated.

CREATING A NEW LOCAL BRIDGE

To define a new local bridge, click the [Local Bridge Settings] button in the
VPN Server Manager. This displays the [Local Bridge Settings] dialog box, so
select the Virtual Hub to be locally bridged from the [Virtual Hub] dropdown box
and the name of the network adapter to bridge to said hub from the [network
adapter] box, then click the [Add Local Bridge] button.

The same task can be carried out using the vpncmd utility's [BridgeDeviceList]
and [BridgeCreate] commands.

The Virtual Hub name should be designated when creating a new local bridge, but
even if a non-existent Virtual Hub name or an offline Virtual Hub is designated,
the local bridge is correctly registered without an error occurring. However,
the local bridge will remain in [Offline] status until the Virtual Hub with that
name starts running.

Multiple local bridges can be created, although it is not possible to register
the same Virtual Hub/ physical network adapter combination more than once.

LOCAL BRIDGE STATUS

There are three types of local bridge status as follows.

 * Operating
   The local bridge is functioning normally and Ethernet frames are being
   transceived between the Virtual Hub and the physical network adapter.
 * Error
   An error occurs as a result of the request to the operating system to access
   the physical network adapter, such as a "device does not exist" error.
 * Offline
   The Virtual Hub designated as the local bridge does not exist or is offline.

LOCAL BRIDGING WITH A VIRTUAL NETWORK ADAPTER

When a VPN Client is installed on the computer on which the VPN Server or VPN
Bridge is installed and a Virtual Network Adapter is registered on the system,
this Virtual Network Adapter should appear in the physical network adapter list.
In this case it is technically possible to configure a local bridge between the
Virtual Hub and the Virtual Network Adapter, although there are almost no
benefits to such a configuration from a practical perspective.

 


3.6.3 PREPARING THE LOCAL BRIDGE NETWORK ADAPTER

ADDING A NEW PHYSICAL NETWORK ADAPTER FOR USE IN A LOCAL BRIDGE

Establishing a local bridge connection between a Virtual Hub and a physical
network adapter enables the Virtual Hub, as well as VPN Clients and other
Virtual Hubs which are remotely connected to that hub, to communicate directly
with the locally bridged physical network as the same segment.

In this case, the physical LAN to be designated as the local bridging
destination is often the same one used for regular communication by that VPN
Server or VPN Bridge (i.e. for VPN communication with other VPN software). For
example, when wishing to set up a VPN Bridge internally such as on an in-house
LAN, and perform site-to-site connection via the Internet with a LAN in a
separate location, the LAN used by that VPN Bridge to access the Internet and
the LAN subject to the bridge connection would be one and the same.

While it is possible to designate the physically communicating network adapter
used by the VPN Server or VPN Bridge for VPN communication as the physical
network adapter to locally bridge to the physical LAN, the following problems
may arise.

 * The VPN Server or the VPN Bridge have to separate the frames used for VPN
   communication such as for cascade connection with another VPN Server, and the
   frames subject to local bridging, thereby consuming CPU time and slowing
   communication speed.
 * The Ethernet frames inserted into the physical network adapter have to be
   copied by both the frame buffer to the TCP/IP protocol stack in the OS and
   the frame buffer required when inserting for local bridging, thereby placing
   a burden on CPU time and memory and slowing communication speed.

Accordingly, when local bridging with a physical LAN, a physically new LAN
should be installed on the computer running the VPN Server or VPN Bridge and
used exclusively for local bridging if possible. However, this does not apply
when there are no available PCI slots on the computer or physical installation
of an Ethernet port is not possible due to embedded hardware.



Preparing the local bridge network adapter.

NO PROTOCOL STACK IS USED FOR THE LOCAL BRIDGE NETWORK ADAPTER

Where there is a network adapter prepared on the computer for use exclusively in
local bridging, it is recommended that the TCP/IP protocol and other protocol
stacks be disabled on that network adapter to enhance performance. The role of
the local bridge network adapter is to release Ethernet frames between the
Virtual Hub and the physical LAN, entirely without the need for intervention
from the protocol stack of the OS running the Virtual Hub.

In the case of Windows, it is possible to remove all protocols and services from
the local bridge network adapter including the TCP/IP protocol and other network
protocols, and the Microsoft Network Client file sharing service. To perform
this setting, open the network adapter property in the [Network connections]
property and deselect all of the protocol and service checkboxes.



Removing protocol stacks from local bridge network adapter.

Even when it is not possible to disable protocol stacks on the local bridge
network adapter for technical reasons, the TCP/IP protocol settings can be
changed so that the network adapter does not obtain IP addresses from the DHCP
Server. If this setting is not carried out, the local bridge network adapter
automatically receives the assignment of one IP address from the DHCP Server
and, as a result, problems arise such as VPN communication becoming unstable due
to the collapse of the routing table.



Setting a fixed IP address for the Local bridge network adapter.

For Linux and Solaris, it is possible to use the [ifconfig] command to obtain a
result equivalent to assigning an IP address of 0.0.0.0 to the local bridge
network adapter.


3.6.4 LOCAL BRIDGE SESSIONS

When a local bridge is associated with the Virtual Hub, displaying a list of
that Virtual Hub's sessions indicates the presence of the local bridge sessions
(sessions with the user name "Local Bridge"). Local bridge sessions are virtual
sessions created automatically for the Virtual Hub by the VPN Server in order to
connect the Virtual Hub and physical network adapter.

3.6.5 SUPPORTED NETWORK ADAPTER TYPES

REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL BRIDGE NETWORK ADAPTERS

The local bridge function is compatible with network adapters satisfying the
following criteria.

 * Network adapter with a device driver recognizable by the operating system as
   an Ethernet (IEEE802.3) device.
 * Able to send and receive MTU (excluding Ethernet header) of up to 1500 bytes
   without incident.
 * Able to operate in promiscuous mode.
 * Has sufficient hardware and device drive performance and FIFO buffer
   capacity, and able to withstand heavy loads without operating instability due
   to software or hardware crashes or overheating.

RECOMMENDED NETWORK ADAPTERS

In-house testing carried out at SoftEther VPN Project has shown the following
network adapters to possess very high performance worthy of recommendation.
Please note, however, that other network adapters generally pose no problems for
use with a local bridge. We recommend considering a change to one of the
following network adapters if the network adapter you are currently using lacks
sufficient performance and is unable to function as required during local
bridging.

3.6.6 USE OF NETWORK ADAPTERS NOT SUPPORTING PROMISCUOUS MODE

NETWORK ADAPTERS NOT SUPPORTING PROMISCUOUS MODE

Some network adapters and network adapter drivers may not support promiscuous
mode. network adapters which do not support promiscuous mode cannot, in
principle, be used for local bridging with the VPN Server / VPN Bridge.

Most network adapters, however, do support promiscuous mode and can be used
without any problems.

Below are some typical examples of network adapters which do not support
promiscuous mode.

 * Wireless LAN (IEEE802.11) network adapters.
 * All other network adapters with device drivers incapable of moving to
   promiscuous mode.

FORCED USE OF NETWORK ADAPTERS NOT SUPPORTING PROMISCUOUS MODE

It is possible to coercively use network adapters which do not support
promiscuous mode, although this method is not recommended as it gives rise to
numerous limitations. This method should only be used when compelled to use a
network adapter which does not support promiscuous mode for local bridging.

In order to perform this setting, it is necessary to open the [LocalBridgeList]
node in the VPN Server Configuration file after defining the local bridge, then
open the local bridge definition entry designating the intended network adapter
defined by the name [LocalBridge0] or so on, and overwrite [NoPromiscuousMode]
to true. The specific setting is described below.

declare LocalBridgeList
{
	declare LocalBridge0
	{
		string DeviceName Intel(R)$20PRO/1000$20MT
		bool FullBroadcastMode false
		string HubName SoftEther$20Network
		bool MonitorMode false
		bool NoPromiscuousMode true
	}
}

 


3.6.7 TAGGED VLAN FRAMES

SoftEther VPN supports the use of tagged VLAN frames. However, this support is
dependent upon the type of network adapter and the features of the device driver
used for the local bridge. In addition, SoftEther VPN Project does not guarantee
the correct handling of the VLAN frames. Bridging a network handling tagged VLAN
frames to a Virtual Hub involves the following.

WHEN THE LOCAL BRIDGE NETWORK ADAPTER SUPPORTS TAGGED VLAN FRAMES

Perform the network adapter's device driver settings followed by the relevant
tagged VLAN settings. Please refer to your network adapter hardware manual for
settings methods.

WHEN THE LOCAL BRIDGE NETWORK AADAPTER DOES NOT SUPPORT TAGGED VLAN FRAMES

When the network adapter hardware does not support tagged VLAN frames, the
tagged portion is able to be read by software as part of a normal Ethernet frame
even when the tagged VLAN frame is inserted from the network adapter. In this
case, the SoftEther VPN virtualizes and encapsulates the Ethernet frame in which
this frame is physically flowing as is and sends its over the VPN. However, all
frames including the tagged VLAN frames cannot exceed 1514 bytes including the
MAC header.

 


3.6.8 OUTPUTTING ALL COMMUNICATION DATA IN THE VIRTUAL HUB TO THE NETWORK
ADAPTER

SETTING THE LOCAL BRIDGE TO MONITOR MODE

Using a function like the one described in 3.4 Virtual Hub Functions enables
users making a VPN connection to a Virtual Hub to receive (intercept) all
virtual Ethernet frames flowing within that Virtual Hub. A similar operation can
be performed for locally bridged Virtual Network Adapters.

Enabling monitor mode with a local bridging definition results in all Ethernet
frames flowing within that Virtual Hub being output from the locally bridged
network adapter. Setting up local bridging in monitor mode is not a normal task
and may be hazardous from a security perspective and as such, it is not able to
be performed from the VPN Server Manager or vpncmd utility as a precaution. To
set up local bridging in monitor mode, open the [LocalBridgeList] node in the
VPN Server Configuration file after defining the local bridge, then open the
local bridge definition entry designating the intended network adapter defined
by the name [LocalBridge0] or so on, and overwrite [MonitorMode] to true. The
specific setting is described below.

declare LocalBridgeList
{
	declare LocalBridge0
	{
		string DeviceName Intel(R)$20PRO/1000$20MT
		bool FullBroadcastMode false
		string HubName SoftEther$20Network
		bool MonitorMode true
		bool NoPromiscuousMode false
	}
}

Connecting a separate device to the LAN port of a network adapter set up in
monitor mode enables that device to intercept all packets flowing over that the
Virtual Hub. As is the case in monitoring mode (see 3.4 Virtual Hub Functions),
packets cannot be transmitted within the virtual LAN.

USING A NETWORK ADAPTER IN MONITOR MODE

By connecting external hardware to capture and log all Ethernet frames flowing
over the network and a security device such as IDS or IDP to the network adapter
locally bridged to the Virtual Hub in monitor mode, it is possible to monitor
the contents of all communication flowing within a Virtual Hub.



This figure shows a normal VPN session in monitor mode, but network adapters in
this mode are able to physically receive all Ethernet frames within the Virtual
Hub in the same way as this System Administrator.

 

When the number of virtual Ethernet frames flowing through virtual Hub has
lacked a case and the space capacity of the frame buffer that are beyond the
processing capacity of a computer and neighboring devices, there is the case
that the SoftEther VPN software cancels the frame, and is going to keep
stability of the whole system. Therefore, depending on the situation, there is
the case that cannot receive all frames.


3.6.9 USING TAP DEVICES

Rather than designating an existing physical network adapter as the local bridge
destination network device, the Linux version VPN Server / VPN Bridge allow the
creation of a new tap device and bridging to that device. In this case the
Universal TUN/TAP device needs to be embedded in the kernel and accessible as a
/dev/net/tun file.

The tap device generated by this function acts as a Virtual Network Adapter
directly connected to the Virtual Hub. The tap device should only be used when
it has sufficiently advanced knowledge of the virtual network.

Use the [ifconfig] command to display a registered tap device and perform its IP
address and other settings. The tap device name is recognized as a network
interface in the Linux kernel starting with the name "tap_".

# ifconfig
tap_test Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:AC:11:9F:E2:8F 
inet6 addr: fe80::2ac:11ff:fe9f:e28f/64 Scope:Link

TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

3.6.10 POINTS TO NOTE WHEN LOCAL BRIDGING IN WINDOWS

The following precautions should be noted when using the local bridge function
on a Windows operating system.

 * To use the local bridge function it is necessary to launch the VPN Server /
   VPN Bridge in service mode (Administrators authority is required when
   launching in user mode).
 * The local bridge function is disabled when the VPN Server / VPN Bridge is
   launched with general user authority.
 * For users of old Windows versions (Windows 98 / Windows 98 Second Edition /
   Windows Millennium Edition / Windows NT 4.0 Workstation / Windows NT 4.0
   Server / Windows NT 4.0 Server, Enterprise Edition), WinPcap software must be
   installed when making a local bridge connection. Using the VPN Server Manager
   automatically launches the WinPcap installer and performs the installation.
 * WinPcap installation is not required for the Windows 2000 and later versions.
   Instead, the SoftEther VPN performs the necessary local bridge processing by
   running a local bridge program inside the kernel.
 * It is recommended that the computer be rebooted after configuring the local
   bridge connection when using a network adapter which supports hardware
   offloading to make the local bridge connection. Although the local bridge
   operates even without rebooting, communication may become unstable, in which
   case the computer should be rebooted. A setting to disable hardware
   offloading is applied upon rebooting, after which operation becomes stable.
 * The device name which can be designated in the local bridge destination
   network adapter list is displayed as the name reported by that device's
   hardware device driver. When two or more devices of the same type are
   connected, the second and subsequent device names are distinguished by
   attaching (2), (3) and so on to the end of their name. While it is generally
   not defined as to which network adapter name corresponds to which physical
   network adapter, once the settings have been correctly performed, the order
   of the devices is typically not altered even after re-launching.

 


3.6.11 POINTS TO NOTE WHEN LOCAL BRIDGING IN LINUX, FREEBSD, SOLARIS OR MAC OS X

The following precautions should be noted when using the local bridge function
on a Linux / UNIX operating system.

 * To use the local bridge function it is necessary to launch the VPN Server /
   VPN Bridge in Service Mode (root authority is required when launching in User
   Mode).
 * The local bridge function is disabled when the VPN Server / VPN Bridge is
   launched with general user authority.
 * It is necessary to embed a socket interface for low level access to the
   network adapter (also referred to as a packet socket) in the Linux kernel if
   one is not already present. This is not a problem for most of the recent
   Linux kernels.
 * When communication instability occurs as a result of using a network adapter
   which supports hardware floating to make the local bridge connection, disable
   said hardware floating. Please refer to your hardware manual for details.
 * Limitations within the Linux or UNIX operating system prevent communication
   with IP addresses assigned to the network adapter locally bridged from the
   VPN side (Virtual Hub side). The cause of this restriction lies with OS's
   internal kernel codes rather than with the SoftEther VPN. When wishing to
   communicate in any form with a UNIX computer used for local bridging from the
   VPN side (Virtual Hub side), (for instance, when running both the VPN Server
   / VPN Bridge service & the HTTP Server service and wishing to grant access to
   the server service from the VPN side as well), prepare and connect a local
   bridge network adapter and physically connect both it and the existing
   network adapter to the same segment (as explained in 3.6 Local Bridges, it is
   recommended to prepare a network adapter for exclusive use in local bridging
   for this and other situations).
 * While Windows enables device names to be designated for all network adapter
   names, in UNIX, network device names such as eth0, eth1 and so on are
   designated. These device names can be obtained using the [ifconfig -a]
   command.
