Local Group Setup

Local Security Gateway Type

This has two settings, IP

Only and IP + Domain Name (FQDN) Authentication.

IP Only

If this is selected, the RVS4000’s WAN IP

address automatically appears in the IP Address field.

IP + Domain Name (FQDN) Authentication

This is

the same as IP Only, but includes a domain name for

greater security. Enter an arbitrary domain name in

the Domain Name field. The Router’s WAN IP address

automatically appears in the IP Address field.

Local Security Group Type

Select the local LAN user(s)

behind the router that can use this VPN tunnel. This may

be a single IP address or Sub-network. Notice that the

Local Security Group Type must match the other router’s

Remote Security Group Type.

IP Address

Enter the IP address on the local network.

Subnet Mask

If the Local Security Group Type is set to

Subnet, enter the mask to determine the IP addresses on

the local network.

Remote Group Setup

Remote Security Gateway Type

Select either IP Only or

IP + Domain Name (FQDN) Authentication. The setting

should match the Local Security Gateway Type for the VPN

device at the other end of the tunnel.

IP Only

Select this to specify the remote device that

will have access to the tunnel. Then either select IP

Address from the drop-down menu and enter the

remote gateway’s WAN IP address in the IP Address

field, or select IP by DNS Resolved from the drop-

down menu and enter the remote gateway’s domain

name in the Domain Name field.

IP + Domain Name (FQDN) Authentication

This is

the same as IP Only but includes a domain name for

greater security. Enter an arbitrary domain name in the

Domain Name field. Then select either IP Address or IP

by DNS Resolved from the drop-down menu, and fill

in the IP Address field or Domain Name field.
