Destination Networks

In this section, enter the network settings for the remote VPN site (the “Destination Network”).
Include the subnet mask which determines broadcast addresses for NetBIOS support.

Use this SA as the default route for all Internet traffic (Security Associations using IKE with Pre-
shared Secret and Manual Key) - Enable this check box if all remote VPN connections access
the Internet through this SA. You can only configure one SA to use this setting.

Destination network obtains IP addresses using DHCP through this SA (Security Associations
using IKE and Pre-shared Secret but not Group VPN or Manual Key) - Enable this check box if
you are managing your IP address allocation from a central location.

Specify destination networks below - Configure the destination networks for your VPN Security
Association. Click Destination Networks to enter the IP address and subnet mask.

Adding Destination Networks

To add a second destination network, click Add New Network... and define the Network and Subnet
Mask fields of the second network segment. To modify a destination network, click the Notepad icon

a message confirming the update is displayed at the bottom of the Web browser window. Click
Update to enable the changes.

Accessing Remote Resources across a Virtual Private Network

SonicWALL VPN Clients, which cannot transmit NetBIOS broadcasts, can access resources across a
VPN by locating a remote computer by IP address. For example, if a remote office has a Microsoft

®

SQL server, users at the local office can access the SQL server by using the server private IP
address.
There are several ways to facilitate connecting to a computer across a SonicWALL VPN:

Use the Find Computer tool

Create a LMHOSTS file in a local computer registry

Configure a WINS Server to resolve a name to a remote IP address.
