Creating a VPN Connection: Between FVX538 and DGFV338

This section describes how to configure a VPN connection between a NETGEAR FVX538 VPN

Firewall and the ProSafe Wireless ADSL Modem VPN Firewall Router.

Using each firewall's VPN Wizard, we will create a set of policies (IKE and VPN) that will allow

the two firewalls to connect from locations with fixed IP addresses. Either firewall can initiate the

connection.

To graphically illustrate this process, we will assume the following:

• NETGEAR FVX538 VPN Firewall with:

– WAN IP address is 10.1.32.40

– LAN IP address subnet is 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0

• NETGEAR ProSafe DGFV338 with:

– WAN IP address is 10.1.1.150

– LAN IP address subnet is 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0

To configure the ProSafe DGFV338:

1. Select VPN from the main menu. The Policies submenu will display showing the IKE

Policies screen

2. Select VPN Wizard. The VPN Wizard screen will display.

3. Select the VPN Tunnel connection type; in this case, the Gateway radio box is selected.

4. Give the gateway connection a name, such as to_fvx.

5. Enter a value for the pre-shared key.

6. Select ADSL as the local WAN interface for your VPN tunnel connection.
