Use the Add button to add a VPN connection or click on an existing connection name to edit one already in the list. Click the Delete button to delete an existing connection. If NAT settings need to be changed, click the Configure NAT button.
When you click the Add button, the IPSec(VPN) - Add screen is displayed.
NOTE: To run IPSec (VPN), you must enable IPSec under the custom Security Profile.
The remote gateway is referred to as the remote or right host and the virtual console server is referred to as the local or left host. If left and right are not directly connected, then you must also specify a NextHop IP address.
The next hop for the remote or right host is the IP address of the router to which the remote host or gateway running IPSec sends packets when delivering them to the left host. The next hop for the left host is the IP address of the router to which the virtual console server sends packets to for delivery to the right host.
A Fully Qualified Domain Name should be indicated in the ID fields for both the Local (Left) host and the Remote (Right) host where the IPSec negotiation takes place.
The following table describes the fields and options on the IPSec(VPN) - Add screen. The information must match exactly on both ends for local and remote.
