Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a static external address?

To make a VPN connection, each of the appliances must know the
IP address of the other appliance. If the addresses are dynamic,
these addresses can change. A changing address prevents a
connection between the two appliances. However, this issue can be
resolved by using Dynamic DNS. For information on configuring
the Dynamic DNS feature, see "Configuring the Dynamic DNS
Service" on page 42.
