To set up a VPN connection, you must configure each endpoint with specific identification and
connection information describing the other endpoint. You must configure the outbound VPN
settings on one end to match the inbound VPN settings on other end, and vice versa.
This set of configuration information defines a security association (SA) between the two VPN
endpoints. When planning your VPN, you must make a few choices first:
• Will the local end be any device on the LAN, a portion of the local network (as defined by a
subnet or by a range of IP addresses), or a single PC?
• Will the remote end be any device on the remote LAN, a portion of the remote network (as
defined by a subnet or by a range of IP addresses), or a single PC?
• Will either endpoint use Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs)? FQDNs supplied by
Dynamic DNS providers (see
“The Use of a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)” on page
E-7 ) can allow a VPN endpoint with a dynamic IP address to initiate or respond to a tunnel
request. Otherwise, the side using a dynamic IP address must always be the initiator.
