Configuring the IPSec VPN Software

If you have two Magnia SG20’s in different locations, and
you wish to connect them, both need to be configured using
the IPSec software configuration. Each server needs to know
the IP address information concerning the remote server in
order to complete the connection.

between two predefined IP addresses, both Magnia SG20
Internet connections must be assigned static IPs from your
ISP. If you are not sure if this is the case, contact your ISP for
more information.

In order to connect two Magnia SG20s using an IPSec VPN
connection, the private networks of both systems must have
different subnet ranges. The default private address range
shipped with the Magnia SG20 starts with 192.168.1.1
through 192.168.1.255. To change the private subnet range,
go to the Administrative Web interface, select the Network
tab, and click on the Local menu item. Use the Advanced
button to change the private network IP range (for more
