Plan A Vpn - NETGEAR DGND3700 User Manual

N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3700
A VPN between two or more NETGEAR VPN-enabled routers is a good way to connect
branch or home offices and business partners over the Internet. VPN tunnels also enable
access to network resources across the Internet. In this case, use gateways on each end of
the tunnel to form the VPN tunnel endpoints. See
Configuration on page 101 for information about how to set up this configuration.

Plan a VPN

When you set up a VPN, it is helpful to plan the network configuration and record the
configuration parameters on a worksheet:

VPN Endpoint
To set up a VPN connection, you have to configure each endpoint with specific identification
and connection information describing the other endpoint. You have to configure the
outbound VPN settings on one end to match the inbound VPN settings on other end, and vice
versa.
This set of configuration information defines a security association (SA) between the two
VPN endpoints. When planning your VPN, you should make a few choices first:
• Will the local end be any device on the LAN, a portion of the local network (as defined by
a subnet or by a range of IP addresses), or a single PC?
• Will the remote end be any device on the remote LAN, a portion of the remote network (as
defined by a subnet or by a range of IP addresses), or a single PC?
