settings in the following ways:
• Configuring your NetDefend firewall's OfficeMode network settings,
including:
• Hide Network Address Translation (NAT)
• The OfficeMode network's default gateway
• The OfficeMode network's internal network range
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) settings
• Displaying and exporting the above OfficeMode network settings
By default, VPN Clients connect to the VPN Server using an Internet IP address
locally assigned by an ISP. This may lead to the following problems:
• VPN Clients on the same network will be unable to communicate with
each other via the NetDefend Internal VPN Server. This is because their IP
addresses are on the same subnet, and they therefore attempt to
communicate directly over the local network, instead of through the secure
VPN link.
• Some networking protocols or resources may require the client's IP
address to be an internal one.
OfficeMode solves these problems by enabling the NetDefend DHCP Server to
automatically assign a unique local IP address to the VPN client, when the client
connects and authenticates. The IP addresses are allocated from a pool called the
OfficeMode network.
