Secure Connection Remote Accessibility

What is the remote LAN IP	Enter the LAN IPv4 address of the remote gateway.
Address?	Note: The remote LAN IPv4 address needs to be in a different subnet from
	the local LAN IP address. For example, if the local subnet is 192.168.1.x,
	then the remote subnet could be 192.168.10.x but could not be
	192.168.1.x. If this information is incorrect, the tunnel fails to connect.
What is the remote LAN	Enter the LAN subnet mask for the remote gateway.
Subnet Mask?

a. Both local and remote endpoints should be defined as either FQDNs or IP addresses. A combination of an IP address and an FQDN is not supported.

Tip: To ensure that tunnels stay active, after completing the wizard, manually edit the VPN policy to enable keep-alives, which periodically sends ping packets to the host on the peer side of the network to keep the tunnel alive. For more information, see Configure Keep-Aliveson page 260.

Tip: For DHCP WAN configurations, first set up the tunnel with IP addresses. After you have validated the connection, you can use the wizard to create new policies using the FQDN for the WAN addresses.

3.Click Apply to save your settings. The IPSec VPN policy is now added to the List of VPN Policies table on the VPN Policies screen for IPv4. By default, the VPN policy is enabled.
