6.10 VPN (IPSec)

VPN Setup

The VPN (Virtual Private Network) feature in the WN-300ARM-VPN allows you to create a VPN connection

between 2 WN-300ARM-VPN, or a remote PC to establish a VPN connection to the WN-300ARM-VPN.

To establish a VPN connection from a remote PC to the Wireless ADSL Router, you need suitable (IPSec)

VPN client software on your PC.

For more information about VPNs, please refer to Appendix C - About VPNs.

VPN Policies

A "VPN Policy" contains all the configuration data for a particular VPN connection. Generally, you will have to

create one policy for each site you wish to connect to. The remote VPN Gateway (or client) needs to have

matching configuration.

 Traffic covered by an enabled policy will automatically be sent via a VPN tunnel. If the VPN tunnel

does not exist, it will be created.

 The VPN tunnel is created according to the parameters in the SA (Security Association).

 The remote VPN Endpoint must have a matching SA, or it will refuse the connection.

The VPN Policies:

Auto - Some parameters for the VPN tunnel are generated automatically. This requires using the IKE

(Internet Key Exchange) protocol to perform negotiations between the 2 VPN Endpoints.

VPN Policies Screen

This screen is displayed when you select VPN on the Advanced menu. It allows you to create, modify and

manage your VPN Policies.

If you have not created any policies, the Policy Table will be empty.
