Table 6-1. VPN Manual and Auto Policy Configuration Fields (continued)

Field

Description

 

 

 

 

Policy Name

The descriptive name of the VPN policy. Each policy should have a

 

 

unique policy name. This name is not supplied to the remote VPN

 

 

endpoint. It is only used to help you identify VPN policies.

 

 

 

 

Policy Type:

A policy can be generated automatically or manually: To create an Auto

 

 

VPN Policy, you must first create an IKE policy and then add the

 

 

corresponding Auto Policy for that IKE Policy.

 

 

Manual: All settings (including the keys) for the VPN tunnel are

 

 

manually input for each end point. No 3rd party server or organization

 

 

is involved.

 

 

Auto: Some parameters for the VPN tunnel are generated

 

 

automatically. This requires using the IKE (Internet Key Exchange)

 

 

protocol to perform negotiations between the 2 VPN Endpoints.

 

 

 

 

Remote End Point:

The IP address or Internet name (FQDN) of the remote gateway or client

 

 

PC. Conversely, the remote VPN endpoint must have the FVG318 local

 

 

IP values entered as it’s Remote VPN Endpoint.

 

NetBIOS

If enabled, it will allow NetBIOS broadcast to travel over the VPN tunnel

 

 

 

Traffic Selection

The IP addresses on both the remote and local sides that will be part of

 

 

the tunnel. They can be either a single IP address, several IP addresses

 

 

in a range, or an entire subnet.

 

Local IP

The drop-down menu allows you to configure the source IP address of

 

 

the outbound network traffic for which this VPN policy will provide

 

 

security.

 

 

Usually, this address is from your network address space. The choices

 

 

are:

 

 

• ANY for all valid IP addresses in the Internet address space

 

 

• Single IP Address

 

 

• Range of IP Addresses

 

 

• Subnet Address

 

 

 

 

Remote IP

The drop-down menu allows you to configure the destination IP address

 

 

of the outbound network traffic for which this VPN policy will provide

 

 

security. Usually, this address is from the remote site's corporate network

 

 

address space. The choices are:

 

 

• ANY for all valid IP addresses in the Internet address space

 

 

• Single IP Address

 

 

• Range of IP Addresses

 

 

• Subnet Address
