2Select Enable.

3In the Source IP 1 field, type the private IP address or subnet address from which traffic may originate locally (for example, 192.168.20.12 or 192.168.20.0 respectively).

4In the Destination IP 1 field, enter the IP address of a remote computer:

For a peer-to-peer configuration, the destination address is the private IP address of a server or host behind the remote VPN peer (for example, 172.16.5.1/32).

For a dialup-client or Internet-browsing configuration where the remote VPN client is configured to acquire a virtual IP address, the destination address must correspond to the virtual IP address that can be acquired.

5If you want to enable a second ping generator, repeat Steps 3 and 4 for the Source IP 2 and Destination IP 2 settings.

6Select Apply.
