Virtual Private Networking
6.
Using IPv4 IPSec and L2TP Connections
This chapter describes how to use the IP security (IPSec) virtual private networking (VPN)
features of the wireless VPN firewall to provide secure, encrypted communications between your
local network and a remote network or computer. This chapter contains the following sections:
•
Use the IPSec VPN Wizard for Client and Gateway Configurations
•
Test the Connection and View Connection and Status Information
•
Manage IPSec VPN Policies
•
Configure Extended Authentication (XAUTH)
•
Assign IP Addresses to Remote Users (Mode Config)
•
Configure Keep-Alives and Dead Peer Detection
•
Configure NetBIOS Bridging with IPSec VPN
•
Configure the L2TP Server
Note:
In this release, the wireless VPN firewall supports IPSec VPN
connections for IPv4 traffic only. By themselves IPv6 addresses
provide a much higher level of security than IPv4 addresses, and
future releases will support IPSec VPN connections for IPv6 traffic.
