Host-to-Host

The following example shows how to configure two IOLANs to work as VPN gateways for a
host-to-host IPsec tunnel.

NAT Traversal (NAT_T)

is enabled in this example (on both sides) because

the VPN tunnel is going private network to public network to private network. In this example, both
of the IOLAN VPN gateways have a DHCP assigned IP address.

The following window configures the Left IOLAN VPN Gateway:

%defaultroute

is entered for the

Local IP Address

because the IP address is DHCP assigned

and is therefore subject to change.
