Table, select the radio button for the VPN tunnel to be deleted, and then click Delete.

Setting Up VPN Tunnels in Special Circumstances

When the VPN Wizard and its VPNC defaults (see

Table 6-2

) are not appropriate for your

circumstances, use one of these alternatives:

Auto Policy. For a typical automated Internet Key Exchange (IKE) setup, see

“Using Auto

Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels” on page 6-32

. Auto Policy uses the IKE protocol to define

the authentication scheme and automatically generate the encryption keys.

Manual Policy. For a manual keying setup in which you must specify each phase of the
connection, see

“Using Manual Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels” on page 6-42

. Manual

policy does not use IKE. Rather, you manually enter all the authentication and key parameters.
You have more control over the process; however, the process is more complex, and there are
more opportunities for errors or configuration mismatches between your DG834Gv5 and the
corresponding VPN endpoint gateway or client workstation.

Using Auto Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels

You need to configure matching VPN settings on both VPN endpoints. The outbound VPN
settings on one end must match to the inbound VPN settings on other end, and vice versa.

See

“Example of Using Auto Policy” on page 6-37

for an example of using Auto Policy.
