Connection Type Properties dialog box

Use this dialog box to create and edit Connection Type elements that define which endpoints can communicate with each other, and how endpoints are used in a Multi-Link configuration.

Option	Definition
Name	The name of the element.
Link Type	Identifies the type of ISP connection.
Mode	Defines how the endpoint is used in a Multi-Link configuration. Active — The link is always used. If there are multiple links in Active mode between the Gateways, the VPN traffic is load-balanced between the links based on the load of the links. VPN traffic is directed to the link that has the lowest load. Aggregate — The link is always used, and each VPN connection is load-balanced in round-robin fashion between all the links that are in Aggregate mode. For example, if there are two links in Aggregate mode, a new VPN connection is directed to both links. Standby — The link is used only when all Active or Aggregate mode links are unusable.
Connectivity Group	The connectivity group to which the endpoint belongs. Tunnels are created only between endpoints that belong to the same connectivity group.
Category (Optional)	Includes the element in predefined categories. Click Select to select a category.
Comment (Optional)	A comment for your own reference.
