VPN Quick Start Guide
SAMPLE USE CASE USING TWO MBR1200's
Alice and Bob both have an MBR1200. For Alice and Bob to configure a secure tunnel between them, they need
exchange the following information about their network configuration: a public IP address, private network
address range, and a secret password they both know.
Alice's Network Settings
Public IP: 1.1.1.1
Private Network: 10.0.1.0 - 255.255.255.0
Secret Password: wolfman8
First, Alice enters in the following information into her router on the Tools -> IPSec/VPN Administration page:
1) Name: She enters in "Tunnel-to-Bob"
2) Remote Gateway: She enters in Bob's IP Address of "2.2.2.2"
3) Remote Network: She enters in Bob's Network Address of "10.0.2.0"
4) Pre Shared Key: She enters in the secret password "wolfman8"
Next, Bob enters in the following information into her router on the Tools -> IPSec/VPN Administration page:
1) Name: She enters in "Tunnel-to-Alice"
2) Remote Gateway: She enters in Bob's IP Address of "1.1.1.1"
3) Remote Network: She enters in Bob's Network Address of "10.0.1.0"
4) Pre Shared Key: She enters in the secret password "wolfman8"
After Alice & Bob save each of their policies, the tunnel will automatically be established when they want to
connect to each other over the Internet.
Finally, apply the full set of defaults on the IPSEC VPN Administration page (on reverse side).
