Reference Manual for the Model FVM318 Cable/DSL ProSafe Wireless VPN Security Firewall
access to network resources when NAT is enabled and remote computers have been assigned
private IP addresses.
In this configuration, based on the remote LAN IP and subnet mask addresses specified in the
VPN settings of the remote system, some or all of the network resources connected to the
FVM318 are visible to the users connected via the tunnel from the remote network.
• Secure access from a remote workstation, such as a telecommuter connecting to an office
network.
VPN client access allows a remote workstation to connect to your network from any location
on the Internet. In this case, the remote workstation is one tunnel endpoint, running VPN client
software. The FVM318 firewall router on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. In this
configuration, all of the network resources connected to the FVM318 are visible to the user
connected via the tunnel from the remote PC.
• Secure wireless access from local workstations over 802.11b wireless links using IPSec VPN
tunnels.
Wireless VPN client access allows a local wireless workstation to securely connect to your
network. In this case, the local wireless workstation is one tunnel endpoint, running VPN
client software. The FVM318 firewall router on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. In
this configuration, all of the network resources connected to the FVM318 are visible to the
user connected via the tunnel from the local wireless workstation.
• 70 external VPN connections and 32 local wireless VPN connections. The FVM318 firewall
supports up to 70 WAN plus 32 wireless LAN (WLAN) concurrent tunnels.
These scenarios are described below.
Note: The FVM318 firewall uses industry standard VPN protocols. However, due to
variations in how manufacturers interpret these standards, many VPN products do not
interoperate. NETGEAR provides support for connections between FVS318, FVL328,
and FVM318 firewalls, and between an these firewalls and the SafeNet SoftRemote
VPN Client for Windows. Although the FVM318 can interoperate with many other
VPN products, it is not possible for NETGEAR to provide specific technical support for
every other interconnection. Please see
configuration information.
