Overview of implementation

Static Routes

Static routes are specified when more than one router exists on a network to which the security gateway must forward either VPN traffic or non-VPN traffic. You can build a static route table with up to 32 network address/mask pairs.

IP groups

Data Terminal Equipment (DTE); such as computers, printers, and network servers, are devices that can be members of a VPN. To make these devices members, you create IP Groups. An IP Group is composed of a set of hosts (workstations and servers) that are located behind a common security gateway. The hosts are defined by their IP address and mask. VPNs are made up of IP groups at multiple locations linked across a public IP network (Internet). Assigning workstations and servers to different IP groups offers a powerful way to limit VPN traffic to specifically designated users.

Remote users and user groups

VPNremote Client users who log in to the VPN through the security gateway must have their user authentication configured on that security gateway.

If RADIUS is not used, you must configure the user name and the password for each remote user. With RADIUS, you can configure a remote user as a default user. When a remote user is configured as a default user, the user password is not required to log in. The user is authenticated by a third-party authentication server, such as RADIUS.

You can also change the default Internet Key Exchange (IKE) identity, the split tunneling option and the security option.

You can configure User Groups to setup and maintain logical groups of users.

VPN

A VPN object is the method used to link security gateways, remote terminals, and LAN terminals in a fully configured virtual private network. Creating a VPN involves naming each VPN, adding users and user groups, and adjusting the IKE and IPSec security protocols for VPN traffic.
