VPN

A VPN is a connection between two endpoints in different networks that allows

private data to be sent securely over a shared or public network, such as the

Internet. This tunnel establishes a private network that can send data securely by

using industry-standard encryption and authentication techniques to secure the

data sent.

This feature displays general information about the VPN tunnel settings. The

device supports up to 100 tunnels. The Virtual IP Range is reserved for EasyVPN

users or VPN clients that connect to this device with the Mode Configuration

option (described in Advanced Settings for IKE with Preshared Key and IKE

with Certificate) enabled.

To set a range of IP addresses to be used for VPN tunnels, click Edit and enter the

following parameters:

•Range Start and Range End—Starting and ending range of IP addresses

used for VPN tunnels.

•DNS Server 1 and DNS Server 2—Optional IP address of a DNS server. If

you enter a second DNS server, the device uses the first DNS server to

respond. Specifying a DNS server can provide faster access than using a

DNS server that is dynamically assigned. Use the default setting of 0.0.0.0 to

use a dynamically assigned DNS server.

•WINS Server1 and WINS Server 2—Optional IP address of a WINS server.

Windows Internet Naming Service resolves NetBIOS names to IP

addresses. If you do not know the IP address of the WINS server, use the

default, 0.0.0.0.
