10.5.6.0/24

 

 

 

172.23.9.0/24

Gateway A

Internet

Gateway B

10.5.6.1

14.15.16.17

 

22.23.24.25

172.23.9.1

Figure 6-5: VPN Consortium Scenario 1

Gateway A connects the internal LAN 10.5.6.0/24 to the Internet. Gateway A's LAN interface has the address 10.5.6.1, and its WAN (Internet) interface has the address 14.15.16.17.

Gateway B connects the internal LAN 172.23.9.0/24 to the Internet. Gateway B's WAN (Internet) interface has the address 22.23.24.25. Gateway B's LAN interface address, 172.23.9.1, can be used for testing IPsec but is not needed for configuring Gateway A.

The IKE Phase 1 parameters used in Scenario 1 are:

•Main mode

•TripleDES

•SHA-1

•MODP group 2 (1024 bits)

•pre-shared secret of “hr5xb84l6aa9r6”

In terms of performance, the FVS318v3 boasts a high-speed gigabit throughput, ensuring fast data transmission and minimal latency. This is particularly important for businesses that rely on cloud-based applications, video conferencing, and other bandwidth-intensive activities. Furthermore, the device is equipped with advanced QoS (Quality of Service) features that allow administrators to prioritize traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need during peak usage times.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the NETGEAR FVS318v3 is its user-friendly interface, which simplifies network management and configuration. Administrators can easily set up policies, monitor traffic, and manage connected devices through an intuitive web-based interface. It also offers support for 802.1Q VLAN tagging, allowing for network segmentation and improved security management.

In conclusion, the NETGEAR FVS318v3 is a versatile and feature-rich solution that delivers exceptional security and reliability for businesses.
