VPN Tunnel Configuration
There are two tunnel configurations and three ways to configure them:
• Use the VPN Wizard to configure a VPN tunnel (recommended for most situations):
— See “How to Set Up a Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration” on page 7-6 .
— See “How to Set Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Configuration” on page 7-20 .
• See “Using Auto Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels” on page 7-36 when the VPN Wizard and
its VPNC defaults (see Table 7-2 on page 7-5 ) are not appropriate for your special
circumstances, but you want to automate the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) setup.
• See “Using Manual Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels” on page 7-48 when the VPN Wizard
and its VPNC defaults (see Table 7-2 on page 7-5 ) are not appropriate for your special
circumstances and you must specify each phase of the connection. 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 DG834 and the corresponding VPN endpoint gateway or client
workstation.
How to Set Up a Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration
Setting up a VPN between a remote PC running the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client and a
network gateway (see
Figure 7-3 ) involves the following two steps:
• “Step 1: Configuring the Client-to-Gateway VPN Tunnel on the DG834” on page 7-7 uses the
VPN Wizard to configure the VPN tunnel between the remote PC and network gateway.
• “Step 2: Configuring the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client on the Remote PC” on page 7-12
configures the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client endpoint.
