Section 7 - VPN
The DWC-1000 uses digital certificates for IPSec VPN authentication. You can obtain a digital certificate from
a well-known Certificate Authority (CA) such as VeriSign, or generate and sign your own certificate using
functionality available on this gateway.
The switch comes with a self-signed certificate, and this can be replaced by one signed by a CA as per your
networking requirements. A CA certificate provides strong assurance of the server's identity and is a requirement
for most corporate network VPN solutions.
The certificates menu allows you to view a list of certificates (both from a CA and self-signed) currently loaded on
the switch. The following certificate data is displayed in the list of Trusted (CA) certificates:
CA Identity (Subject Name): The certificate is issued to this person or organization
Issuer Name: This is the CA name that issued this certificate
Expiry Time: The date after which this Trusted certificate becomes invalid
To upload a certificate:
1. Click VPN > IPSec VPN > Certificate > Trusted Certificates tab.
2. Click the Browse button. Locate your certificate, and click Open.
3. Click Upload.
