Select Advanced > Advanced - VPN > VPN Policies, and click the Add Auto Policy button
to display the VPN - Auto Policy screen:
The DGN2200v3 VPN tunnel network connection fields are defined in the following sections.
VPN Auto Policy General Settings
• Policy Name. Enter a unique name. This name is not supplied to the remote VPN
endpoint. It is used only to help you manage the policies.
• Remote VPN Endpoint. The remote VPN endpoint has to have this VPN gateway's
address entered as its remote VPN endpoint.
If the remote endpoint has a dynamic IP address, select Dynamic IP Address. No
address data input is required. You can set up multiple remote dynamic IP policies, but
only one such policy can be enabled at a time. Otherwise, select an option (IP address or
domain name) and enter the address of the remote VPN endpoint to which you want to
connect.
• IKE Keep Alive. If you want to ensure that a connection is kept open, or, if that is not
possible, that it is quickly re-established when a connection is lost select this check box.
The ping IP address has to be associated with the remote endpoint. You have to use the
remote LAN address. This IP address will be pinged periodically to generate traffic for the
VPN tunnel. The remote keep-alive IP address needs to be covered by the remote LAN
IP range and to correspond to a device that can respond to a ping. The range should be
made as narrow as possible to meet this objective.

The remote VPN endpoint needs to have these IP addresses entered as its remote
addresses.
