Set Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Configuration

Two common scenarios for VPN tunnels are between a remote computer and a network
gateway, and between two or more network gateways. Gateway-to-gateway VPN tunnels
provide secure access between networks, such as a branch or home office and a main office.

A VPN between two or more VPN-enabled routers is a good way to connect branch or home

offices and business partners over the Internet. VPN tunnels also enable access to network
resources across the Internet. In this case, use gateways on each end of the tunnel to form
the VPN tunnel end points.

Set the LAN IPs on each modem router to a different subnet and configure each correctly for
the Internet. The following table shows an example.

The LAN IP address ranges of the VPN endpoints have to be different. The connection will
fail if both are using the default address range of 192.168.0.x.
