Configure the SOHO TZW for VPN Connections
5
SonicWALL IPSec VPN provides secure method for exchanging confidential data and network
resources with telecommuters, remote offices, suppliers and partners. You can configure the
SOHO TZW to support
•
Remote access to your network from SonicWALL Global VPN Clients through the SOHO
TZW VPN gateway.
•
Access another SonicWALL from the SOHO TZW for network to network VPN connections.
The SOHO TZW supports up to 50 Security Associations (SAs). An SA is one VPN connection,
which can be a Global VPN Client WLAN or WAN (Internet) connection or a SonicWALL to
SonicWALL (LAN to LAN) VPN connection.
Before You Start Configuring VPN
When designing VPN connections, be sure to document all pertinent IP Addressing information
and create a network diagram to use as a reference. A sample planning sheet is provided on
the next page.
•
The SonicWALL must have a routable WAN IP address whether it is dynamic or static.
•
Be sure that the networks behind the SonicWALLs are unique. The same subnets cannot
reside behind two different VPN gateways.
•
In a VPN network with dynamic and static IP addresses, the VPN gateway with the dynamic
address must initiate the VPN connection.
Enabling Remote Global VPN Client Access
When you established secure (WiFiSec) wireless networking with the SOHO TZW, you setup
GroupVPN and installed the SonicWALL Global VPN Clients. To use more than one of these
SonicWALL Global VPN Clients to remotely access your network through the SOHO TZW (from
the Internet), you must purchase a Global VPN Client license upgrade at mySonicWALL.com.
The SonicWALL Global VPN Client upgrade enables the SOHO TZW to support Global VPN
Client connections from the WAN port.
You can purchase Global VPN Client software from SonicWALL, your reseller, or online at
mysonicwall.com. For more information on purchasing the Global VPN Client
www.sonicwall.com/products/vpnglobal.html.
Tip! You only need the Global VPN Client upgrade if you plan to use more than one Global VPN
Client at a time for remote access to your network via the WAN port on the SOHO TZW.
SonicWALL Global VPN Client Licenses
Global VPN Client Licensing is based on the number of simultaneous Global VPN Client
connections to a SonicWALL. If the number of simultaneous Global VPN Client connections is
exceeded, the SonicWALL does not allow any additional Global VPN Client connections. Once
the number of simultaneous Global VPN Client drops below the license limit, new Global VPN
connections can be established.
