Assign IPv4 Addresses to Remote Users

To simplify the process of connecting remote VPN clients to the VPN firewall, use the Mode
Config feature to automatically assign IPv4 addresses to remote users, including a network
access IP address, subnet mask, WINS server, and DNS address. Remote users are given
IP addresses available in a secured network space so that remote users appear as seamless
extensions of the network.
You can use the Mode Config feature in combination with an IPv6 IKE policy to assign IPv4
addresses to clients, but you cannot assign IPv6 addresses to clients.
