Chapter 7 - VPN Client Tunnels

117

>

Allow Connections To

This scrolling list displays the IP networks which the client will be told are
reachable via the tunnel.

Any communications with an address which is part of one of the networks in
the list will be tunneled. Communications with any other addresses will occur
normally, without tunneling.

Add

Clicking on this button will bring up a dialog box which allows an IP network
address and mask size to be entered.

Add IP Address Dialog Box

The part of this address which identifies the network segment is determined
by the size of the mask, specified in bits. For example, an entry of
192.168.32.0/19 would specify that traffic with all IP addresses from
192.168.32.1 through 192.168.63.255 will be tunneled. As a special case, the
entry, 0.0.0.0/0, specifies that all IP traffic should be tunneled. To tunnel to
only a single host, specify 32 in the bits portion.

v Note: Following convention, mask values in CompatiView are generally
entered as decimal numbers separated by periods (e.g. 255.255.255.0) where
both the network portion and the host portion of an address are significant.
Entry of mask size in bits is an alternative but equivalent way of specifying
the size of the network portion of the IP address when only that portion is
significant to the function being performed.

Edit

Clicking on this button brings up a dialog box which allows editing of a previ-
ously entered network and mask.

Remove

This button removes a network/mask entry from the list.
