5.7.1 LAN to LAN
Remote Gateway
Address Known
Select Remote Gateway Address Known as the starting page when the
SpeedTouch™ must be able to initiate a VPN connection. As an initiator, you are
capable of starting a secure connection from your SpeedTouch™. In addition, the
SpeedTouch™ can act as a responder, which means that a connection is started
when the remote Security Gateway initiates the negotiations.
Remote Gateway
Address Unknown
Select Remote Gateway Address Unknown as the starting page when the
SpeedTouch™ only needs to have responder capability. This may be the case in a
central facility to which (multiple) remote sites may want to set up a VPN
connection. By not specifying the Remote Gateway Address, you allow additional
sites to join the VPN without requiring any modification to the configuration of your
SpeedTouch™.
Configuration
procedure
Perform the following steps to configure your LAN to LAN application:
1 On the LAN to LAN web page, select either Remote Gateway Address Known
or Remote Gateway Address Unknown.
2 Configure the Remote Gateway parameters.
3 Define the Connection parameters.
4 Save the configuration.
Remote Gateway
parameters
The Remote Gateway address parameters identify the peer Security Gateway in the
IP network.
 Address or FQDN
:
Fill out the publicly known network location of the remote Gateway. Specify
the public IP address, if it is invariable and known. More often, the publicly
known FQDN (such as vpn.corporate.com) will be used.
 Backup Address or FQDN
:
Optionally specify a backup remote Security Gateway. If no backup gateway is
available, you leave this field open.
