Instant Broadband® Series

Under Remote Secure Group, you have two additional options: Host and Any.

Host - If you select Host for the Remote Secure Group, then the Remote Secure Group will be the same as the Remote Security Gateway setting: IP Address, FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name), or Any. (Remote Security Gateway settings are explained on the following page.) In the example shown in Figure 7-15, the Remote Secure Group is the same as the Remote Security Gateway, set to a specific IP Address.

Figure 7-15

Any - If you select Any for the Remote Security Group, as shown in Figure 7-16, the local Firewall Router will accept a request from any IP address. This setting should be chosen when the other endpoint is using DHCP or PPPoE on the WAN side.

Remote Security Gateway

The Remote Security Gateway is the VPN device, such as a second Firewall Router, on the remote end of the VPN tunnel. Under Remote Security Gateway, you have three options: IP Address, FQDN, and Any.

IP Address - If you select IP Address, as shown in Figure 7-17, enter the IP Address of the VPN device at the other end of the tunnel. The remote VPN device can be another Firewall Router, a VPN Server, or a comput- er with VPN client software that supports IPSec. The IP Address may either be static (permanent) or dynamic (changing), depending on the set- tings of the remote VPN device. Make sure that you have entered the IP Address correctly, or the connection cannot be made. Remember, this is NOT the IP Address of the local Firewall Router, but the IP Address of the remote Firewall Router or device with which you wish to communicate.

Figure 7-17

FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) - If you select FQDN, as shown in Figure 7-18, enter the FQDN of the VPN device at the other end of the tunnel. The remote VPN device can be another Firewall Router, a VPN Server, or a computer with VPN client software that supports IPSec. The FQDN is the host name and domain name for a specific computer on the Internet, for example, vpn.myvpnserver.com.
