Connecting to Symantec Enterprise VPN Client
Figure 8-1: Symantec Enterprise VPN Client configurations
To ensure the safe transmission of data in the tunnels, Symantec Enterprise VPN Client uses a suite
of standardized security protocols including the Internet Security Association and Key
Management Protocol (ISAKMP), the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) policy, and the IP Security
(IPSec) protocol.
Access to Symantec Enterprise VPN Client is password protected to prevent others from creating
tunnels into the Symantec Firewall/VPN 200R, even if your computer is stolen. For added security,
Symantec Enterprise VPN Client includes a personal firewall which restricts the ports through
which data packets can be received.
Configuring Symantec Enterprise VPN Client with
Symantec Firewall/VPN 200R
Security gateways must be configured at both the Symantec Firewall/VPN and in Symantec
Enterprise VPN Client. Every gateway can accommodate multiple tunnels. Therefore, when you
add or remove a security gateway from the Symantec Enterprise VPN Client database, you are also
adding or removing all of the tunnels that are associated with the security gateway.
