PPTP configuration procedures

If the FortiGate unit will act as a PPTP server, perform the following tasks on the

FortiGate unit:

1Create a PPTP user group containing one user for each PPTP client. See “Users and authentication” on page 233.

2Enable PPTP on the FortiGate unit and specify the range of addresses that can be assigned to PPTP clients when they connect. See “PPTP range” on page 260.

3Configure the PPTP server.

4Configure the PPTP clients.

To perform Steps 3 and 4, see the FortiGate VPN Guide.

To arrange for PPTP packets to pass through the FortiGate unit to an external PPTP server instead, you must:

1Create a PPTP user group containing one user for each PPTP client. See “Users and authentication” on page 233.

2Enable PPTP on the FortiGate unit and specify the range of addresses that can be assigned to PPTP clients when they connect. See “PPTP range” on page 260.

3Configure PPTP pass through on the FortiGate unit.

4Configure the PPTP clients.

To perform Steps 3 and 4, see the FortiGate VPN Guide.

L2TP configuration procedures

To configure a FortiGate unit to act as an L2TP network server, perform the following tasks on the FortiGate unit:

1Create an L2TP user group containing one user for each remote client. See “Users and authentication” on page 233.

2Enable L2TP on the FortiGate unit and specify the range of addresses that can be assigned to remote clients when they connect. See “L2TP range” on page 261.

3Configure the L2TP server.

4Configure the remote clients.

To perform Steps 3 and 4, see the FortiGate VPN Guide.
