Selecting the LAN to
LAN application
In Expert Mode, click VPN > LAN to LAN. As a result, the following page is shown
This page contains two main tab pages. Select one of the alternative pages,
according to which VPN context best describes your situation.
When you know the network address or domain name of the remote Security
Gateway, your SpeedTouch™ can either take the initiative to set up an IPSec
tunnel to that remote Gateway, or it can wait until the remote gateway
requests to set up a tunnel.
If this is the VPN context that best describes you situation, then select
Remote Gateway Address Known.
and proceed with section “3.1.1 Remote Gateway Address Known Page” on
page 27.
Alternatively, there may be no need to take the initiative to set up a VPN
tunnel. In your situation you rather wait until a remote Gateway requests you
to set up a tunnel. In this situation you may not even know the location of the
Remote Gateway. In this case, select
Remote Gateway Address Unknown.
and proceed with section “3.1.2 Remote Gateway Address Unknown Page” on
page 35.
In a simple LAN to LAN connection where two peers are connected, at least one of
the peers should be configured via Remote Gateway Address Known.
