NETGEAR FVS318N manual Information required to configure the VPN client, 206

ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N

Figure 118.

Note: When you are using FQDNs, if the Dynamic DNS service is slow to update its servers when your DHCP WAN address changes, the VPN tunnel will fail because the FQDNs do not resolve to your new address. If you have the option to configure the update interval, set it to an appropriately short time.

4.Optional step: Collect the information that you need to configure the VPN client. You can print the following table to keep track of this information.

Table 45. Information required to configure the VPN client

Component	Enter the information that you collected	Example
Pre-shared key		I7!KL39dFG_8
Remote identifier information		remote.com
Local identifier information		local.com
Router’s LAN network IPv4 address		192.168.1.0
Router’s WAN IPv4 address		192.168.15.175

Use the NETGEAR VPN Client Wizard to Create a Secure Connection

The VPN client lets you set up the VPN connection manually (see Manually Create a Secure Connection Using the NETGEAR VPN Client on page 211) or with the integrated Configuration Wizard, which is the easier and preferred method. The Configuration Wizard configures the default settings and provides basic interoperability so that the VPN client can easily communicate with the wireless VPN firewall (or third-party VPN devices). The Configuration Wizard does not let you enter the local and remote IDs, so you need to manually enter this information.
