Cyclades-PR2000
Chapter 14 - Virtual Private Network Configuration 116
An example showing a local security network and two remote security networks is shown in Figure 14.2. The
PR2000 in the local security network will be configured step by step. (Which network is considered local and
which network is considered remote depends on the router being configured.)
STEP ONE
The Virtual Private Network Utility must be Enabled in the ADMIN =>ENABLE FEATURES =>VPN menu before
it can be used. Navigate to this menu and enter the password supplied by Cyclades to activate VPN.
STEP TWO
Link 1 of the PR3000 (RSG3) should be fully configured and operational before beginning the VPN
configuration. Each router has an IP address (with optional secondary IP addresses) for each numbered
interface. In addition, each router has a Router IP Address
which is one of the interface IP addresses. This
router IP address is used whenever a single IP address is needed to identify the router. It is critical that each
router being used as a remote security gateway have this parameter defined. It is NOT defined automatically.
Navigate to CONFIG =>IP =>ROUTER IP and confirm that this parameter has been defined and is set to the
value desired. An address that can be routed on the internet is generally used.
Important!! The Router IP Addresses for the other Remote Security Gateways (RSG1 and RSG2 in
the example) must also be known before beginning the configuration of RSG3.
