ProSafe 802.11g Wireless VPN Firewall FVG318 Reference Manual

The remote WAN and LAN IP addresses for one VPN tunnel endpoint will be the local WAN and LAN IP addresses for the other VPN tunnel endpoint.

The VPN Wizard ensures the other VPN parameters are the same at both VPN tunnel endpoints.

Initiating and Checking the VPN Connections

You can test connectivity and view VPN status information on the FVG318 according to the testing flowchart shown in Figure C-2. To test the VPN tunnel from the Gateway A LAN, do the following:

1.Test 1: Ping Remote LAN IP Address: To establish the connection between the FVG318 Gateway A and FVS318v2 Gateway B tunnel endpoints, perform these steps at Gateway A:

a.From a Windows PC attached to the FVG318 on LAN A, click the Start button on the task bar and then click Run.

b.Type ping -t 172.23.9.1, and then click OK (you would type ping -t 10.5.6.1 if testing from Gateway B).

c.This will cause a continuous ping to be sent to the LAN interface of Gateway B. Within two minutes, the ping response should change from timed out to reply.

At this point the VPN-tunnel-endpoint-to-VPN-tunnel-endpoint connection is established.

2.Test 2: Ping Remote WAN IP Address (if Test 1 fails): To test connectivity between the Gateway A and Gateway B WAN ports, follow these steps:

a.Log in to the router on LAN A, go to the main menu Maintenance section, and click the Diagnostics link.

b.To test connectivity to the WAN port of Gateway B, enter 22.23.24.25, and then click Ping (you would enter 14.15.16.17 if testing from Gateway B).

c.This causes a ping to be sent to the WAN interface of Gateway B. Within two minutes, the ping response should change from timed out to reply. You may have to run this test several times before you get the reply message back from the target FVS318v2.

d.At this point the gateway-to-gateway connection is verified.

3.Test 3: View VPN Tunnel Status: To view the FVG318 VPN event logs, go to Monitoring > VPN Logs; to view the status of Security Associations, go to the FVG318 VPN > Connection Status. For the FVS318v2, click Show VPN Status from the Router Status screen.
