Configuring the VPN on the Sidewinder
Field | Setting |
|
|
Local Network/IP | Specify the network names or IP addresses to use as |
| the destination for the client(s) in the VPN. Click the |
| New button to specify the IP Address / Hostname |
| and Number of bits in Netmask. The value specified |
| identifies the network portion of the IP address. For |
| example, if you specify 24 with an IP address of |
| 10.10.10.0, all IP addresses that begin with 10.10.10 are |
| accepted. |
| Note: If you are using Client Address Pools, the local |
| (destination for clients) is configured using different |
| windows. |
|
|
Enabled | Select Yes. |
|
|
Burb | Click the dropdown list to assign this VPN to a burb. |
| Sidewinder terminates each VPN in a burb so that |
| access rules may or may not be applied to the VPN. |
|
|
If you selected Dynamic IP Restricted Client in the Mode field, you will need to define one of the following mutually exclusive options.
Client Address | Determine if you want remote clients to be assigned |
Pool | only the IP addresses contained within one of the |
| available client address pools. If so, use the dropdown |
| list to select the client address pool you want to use. |
| With this option, Sidewinder selects an IP address from |
| the available pool and assigns it to the client for use |
| during the VPN connection. |
| Note: For information on creating Client Address Pools, |
| see Chapter 11 in the Sidewinder Administration Guide. |
|
|
Dynamic Virtual | Define the range of addresses a client can use when |
Address Range | initiating a VPN connection. The addresses specified |
| here do not represent a real network but are virtual |
| addresses. With this option the client assigns their own |
| IP address, although the address must be within the |
| approved address range. |
