Chapter 15 VPN Screens

Local Port End

Type a port number in this field to define a port range. This port number must

be greater than that specified in the previous field. If Local Port Start is left at

0, Local Port End will also remain at 0.

Remote Address Start

Remote IP addresses must be static and correspond to the remote IPSec

router's configured local IP addresses. The remote address fields do not

apply when the Secure Gateway IP Address field is configured to 0.0.0.0. In

this case only the remote IPSec router can initiate the VPN.
Two active SAs cannot have the local and remote IP address(es) both the

same. Two active SAs can have the same local or remote IP address, but not

both. You can configure multiple SAs between the same local and remote IP

addresses, as long as only one is active at any time.
Enter a (static) IP address on the network behind the remote IPSec router.

Remote Address End/

Mask

When the remote IP address is a single address, type it a second time here.
When the remote IP address is a range, enter the end (static) IP address, in a

range of computers on the network behind the remote IPSec router.
When the remote IP address is a subnet address, enter a subnet mask on the

network behind the remote IPSec router.

Remote Port Start

"0" is the default and signifies any port. Type a port number from 0 to 65535.

Some of the most common IP ports are: 21, FTP; 53, DNS; 23, Telnet; 80,

HTTP; 25, SMTP; 110, POP3.

Remote Port End

Enter a port number in this field to define a port range. This port number must

be greater than that specified in the previous field. If Remote Port Start is left

at 0, Remote Port End will also remain at 0.

DNS Server (for IPSec

VPN)

If there is a private DNS server that services the VPN, type its IP address

here. The Prestige assigns this additional DNS server to the Prestige’s DHCP

clients that have IP addresses in this IPSec rule's range of local addresses. A

DNS server allows clients on the VPN to find other computers and servers on

the VPN by their (private) domain names.

My IP Address

Enter the WAN IP address of your Prestige. The Prestige uses its current

WAN IP address (static or dynamic) in setting up the VPN tunnel if you leave

this field as 0.0.0.0. The VPN tunnel has to be rebuilt if this IP address

changes.

Secure Gateway IP

Address

Type the WAN IP address or the URL (up to 31 characters) of the IPSec

router with which you're making the VPN connection.

SPI

Type a number (base 10) from 1 to 999999 for the Security Parameter Index.

Encapsulation Mode

Select Tunnel mode or Transport mode from the drop-down list box.

Enable Replay

Detection

As a VPN setup is processing intensive, the system is vulnerable to Denial of

Service (DoS) attacks The IPSec receiver can detect and reject old or

duplicate packets to protect against replay attacks. Select YES from the drop-

down menu to enable replay detection, or select NO to disable it.

IPSec Protocol

Select ESP if you want to use ESP (Encapsulation Security Payload). The

ESP protocol (RFC 2406) provides encryption as well as some of the services

offered by AH. If you select ESP here, you must select options from the

Encryption Algorithm and Authentication Algorithm fields (described

next).
Select AH if you want to use AH (Authentication Header Protocol). The AH

protocol (RFC 2402) was designed for integrity, authentication, sequence

integrity (replay resistance), and non-repudiation but not for confidentiality, for

which the ESP was designed. If you select AH here, you must select options

from the Authentication Algorithm field (described later).
