Configuring a Virtual Private Network
344 IOLAN SDS/SCS/STS/MDC User’s Guide, Version 4.0
2. The following window configures the Right IOLAN VPN Gateway:
%defaultroute is entered for the Local IP Address because the IP address is DHCP assigned
and is therefore subject to change.
%any is entered for the Remote IP Address to indicate that it will accept a VPN connection
from any host/network; this is necessary because the Left IOLAN VPN gateway is DHCP
assigned and cannot be known.
Also note that Boot Action on the Left IOLAN VPN gateway is set to Start, meaning that it will
try to initiate the VPN connection, while the
Boot Action on the Right IOLAN VPN gateway is
set to
Add, which will listen for a VPN connection request.
3. Enable the IPsec service found in Security, Services.
