Configuring IPSec with a Windows 2000 or XP Computer

How to Establish a Secure IPSec Tunnel

C

e.Enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the local VPN router in the Local Group Setup fields. To allow access to the entire IP subnet, enter 0 for the last set of IP Addresses (e.g. 192.168.1.0).

f.Enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the VPN device at the other end of the tunnel (the remote VPN router or device with which you wish to communicate) in the Remote Group Setup fields.

g.Select from two types of authentication: MD5 and SHA1 (SHA1 is recommended because it is more secure). As with encryption, either of these may be selected, provided that the VPN device at the other end of the tunnel is using the same type of authentication. Or, both ends of the tunnel may choose to Disable authentication.

h.From the Keying Mode list, choose IKE with Preshared Key. Then enter a series of numbers or letters in the Preshared Key field. Also enable Perfect Forward Secrecy to ensure that the initial key exchange and IKE proposals are secure.

i.Click Save to save these changes.

Your tunnel should now be established.
