VPN Setup
The VPN (Virtual Private Network) feature in the Wireless ADSL Router allows you to
create a VPN connection between 2 Wireless ADSL Routers, or a remote PC to
establish a VPN connection to the Wireless ADSL Router.
To establish a VPN connection from a remote PC to the Wireless ADSL Router, you
need suitable (IPSec) VPN client software on your PC.
For more information about VPNs, please refer to Appendix C - About VPNs.
VPN Policies
A "VPN Policy" contains all the configuration data for a particular VPN connection.
Generally, you will have to create one policy for each site you wish to connect to. The
remote VPN Gateway (or client) needs to have matching configuration.
•
Traffic covered by an enabled policy will automatically be sent via a VPN tunnel. If
the VPN tunnel does not exist, it will be created.
•
The VPN tunnel is created according to the parameters in the SA (Security
Association).
•
The remote VPN Endpoint must have a matching SA, or it will refuse the
connection.
There are 2 types of VPN Policies:
•
Manual - All settings (including the keys) for the VPN tunnel are manually input at
each end (both VPN Endpoints).
•
Auto - Some parameters for the VPN tunnel are generated automatically. This
requires using the IKE (Internet Key Exchange) protocol to perform negotiations
between the 2 VPN Endpoints.
