Enabling Group Vpn On The Sonicwall - SonicWALL TELE3 SP Administrator's Manual

Enabling Group VPN on the SonicWALL

Click VPN on the left side of the SonicWALL browser window, and then click Configure.
The SonicWALL VPN tab defaults to a Group VPN setting. This feature facilitates the set up
and deployment of multiple VPN clients by the administrator of the SonicWALL appliance.
Security settings can now be exported to the remote client and imported into the remote VPN
client settings. Group VPN allows for easy deployment of multiple VPN clients making it
unnecessary to individually configure remote VPN clients. Group VPN is only available for VPN
clients and it is recommended to use Authentication Service or XAUTH/RADIUS in
conjunction with the Group VPN for added security.
To enable Group VPN, follow the instructions below:
1. Click VPN on the left side of the Management Station interface.
2. Click on Group VPN. The Security Association default setting is Group VPN.
3. Configure the Group VPN to use either IKE using Pre-shared Secrets or IKE using
Certificates. To use certificates, an Authentication Service upgrade must be
purchased.
4. Select Group 2 from the Phase 1 DH Group menu.
5. Enter the SA Life Time value in minutes. A value of 28800 seconds (8 hours) is
recommended.
6. Select DES & MD5 from the Phase 1 Encryption/Authentication menu.
