Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide 37

Configuring the Server for LAN-to-LAN Tunnels

This section configures VPN tunnel parameters and defines a virtual port for LAN-to-LAN tunnel traffic. It assumes that you have already assigned IP addresses to the Ethernet interface(s), and set up static routes, as shown in VPN Client Tunnel Settings.

ϖNote: VPN Ports are only used for LAN-to-LAN tunnels. VPN Client tunnels do not use VPN Ports. LAN-to-LAN tunneling requires that you set parameters for a VPN port on each end of a tunnel, so you must repeat the following steps on the remote end.

1.Add a VPN Port

A.From the File menu, choose VPN Port> Add VPN Port. This will bring up the Add VPN Port dialog box and will allow you to select a number for the virtual port.

Add VPN Port

B.Click OK

2.Set up the Tunnel Partner

Once you have created a VPN port, you need to provide information about the remote Tunnel Partner and specify which interface on the local device will act as the endpoint for the tunnel.

A.In the Device View, click on the VPN port icon that was added in the previous step, and select Tunnel Partner. This will open the Tunnel Partner: VPN (#) dialog box.

Tunnel Partner: VPN (#)

B.Enter the Partner Address. This is the IP address of the remote Tunnel Partner with which this VPN port will commu- nicate via the tunnel. This will be an interface on the remote router which has been set to route IP and will also be the remote VPN port’s Bind To interface.
