    Multiple Virtual Hubs can be created for SoftEther VPN Server and Ethernet frames which can be exchanged within Virtual Hub. For more information on Virtual Hub, see 1.4 VPN Processing Principle and Communication Method.

    ...

    If multiple Virtual Hubs are created within SoftEther VPN Server, a virtual layer 3 switch function is provided to conduct IP routing among Virtual Hubs. A detailed description of a virtualvirtual the layer 3 switch function is provided in 3.8 Virtual Layer 3 Switches.

    ...

    VPN among hubs can be easily realized by cascade connection of from Virtual Hub connected by local bridge to a hub at a remote location to Virtual Hub connected by local bridge on SoftEther VPN Server side. For specific configuration method, see 10.5 Build a LAN-to-LAN VPN (Using L2 Bridge).

    ...

    Virtual Hub which is operated by SoftEther VPN Server can be connected with Virtual Hub operated by SoftEther VPN Server on same or separate computer by cascade connection. Cascade connection can also be a accepted from SoftEther VPN Bridge operating on a separate computer. By connecting two or more different Ethernet segments using cascade connection, you can use the two LANs, which were originally separate fromof each other as LAN of a single segment. A detailed description of cascade connection is provided in 3.4 Virtual Hub Functions.

    ...

    If constructing VPN by SoftEther VPN, in most cases VPN can be designed/constructed by establishing connection from a hub other that the one the with the SoftEther VPN Server by SoftEther VPN Bridge or SoftEther VPN Client. BecauseThus, because it is a single organization, thus it is basic to set up a SoftEther VPN Server for constructing VPN. For specific location, see 10.2 Common Concepts and Knowledge.

    ...

    SoftEther VPN Client is VPN client software that functions as a Virtual Network Adapter which can be connectedthat can connect to Virtual Hub of SoftEther VPN Server. With a computer installed with SoftEther VPN Client, the user can access via the Internet with only simple settings, and can carry out random communication by connecting to Virtual Hub of SoftEther VPN Server via Virtual Network Adapter.

    ...

    Because Virtual Network Adapter is implemented as a device driver recognized by the operating system as a single network adapter, if. If there is a bridge function between the operating system and network adapter, it makes bridge connection between Virtual Network Adapter and physical network adapter possible. For details see 4.3 Virtual Network Adapter. AsBecause cascade connection and local bridge are supported for SoftEther VPN Server and SoftEther VPN Bridge, this method is not used so much onvery much for SoftEther VPN.

    ...

    SoftEther VPN Bridge is software that enables cascade connection to Virtual Hub of SoftEther VPN Server operating at a remote location, and also enables VPN connection to be the layer 2 bridge connection between a physical network adapter and computer running SoftEther VPN Bridge. SoftEther VPN Bridge will be theis optimal software for introducing to computer connected by LAN of the hub if you want to bridge connect hub LAN at a remote location to VPN configured by SoftEther VPN Server (in other words Virtual Hub operating on SoftEther VPN Server).

    ...

    SoftEther VPN Bridge is technically software optimized for bridge hub by removing the function for creating multiple Virtual Hubs and function for accepting connection from SoftEther VPN Server and SoftEther VPN Client of other computer from the software program of SoftEther VPN Server. When SoftEther VPN Bridge is installed, a single Virtual Hubs named "BRIDGE" will beis created. The network administrator makes a local bridge with the LAN of the hub to bridge the Virtual Hubs and connects to the Virtual Hubs of the SoftEther VPN Server of the connection destination.

    ...

    A Virtual Hub named "BRIDGE" exists in SoftEther VPN Bridge, but you can connect from "BRIDGE" Virtual Hub to Virtual Hub of SoftEther VPN Server which is operating at a remote location and the physical network adapter of the computer such as runningon which "BRIDGE" Virtual Hub and SoftEther VPN Bridge are running can be connected by local bridge function.

    The cascade connection function and local bridge function are therefore the same as those with which SoftEther VPN Server is equippingequipped.

    ...

    SoftEther VPN Server Manager is an administration utility equipped with graphical user interface (GUI) for administrating by connecting to SoftEther VPN Server and SoftEther VPN Bridge in the administration mode. Only the Windows version SoftEther VPN Server Manager  is now currently provided.

    ...

    Currently on the Windows version of SoftEther VPN Server Manager is offered. Although, but vpncmd programs are offered for all platforms on which SoftEther VPN Server operates. Thus, thus enabling administration by same method, no matter which platform is used.

    ...

    With vpncmd, all operations are accomplished by command input. Although, but because the program contains detailed command to help with usage methods and explanations, you can refer to the manual each time inputting commands. In that case, so you don't have to memorize the commands and the number of times key input which is required andisrequiredis reduced by an automatic input complement function. When calling out vpncmd commands, batch command line script can be passed as a command line argument, automatic processing can be executed, and processing results can be written in a file.
