VPN Configuration of NETGEAR FVS318v3

This is a case study on how to configure a secure IPSec VPN tunnel on a NETGEAR FVS318v3.
This case study follows the VPN Consortium interoperability profile guidelines (found at
http://www.vpnc.org/InteropProfiles/Interop-01.html).
This study covers the following situations:
• FVS318v3 to FVS318v3 (see page E-6)
• FVS318v3 to FVS318v2 (see page E-13)
• FVS318v3 to FVL328 (see page E-20)
• FVS318v3 to VPN Client (see page E-27)

Case Study Overview

The procedure for configuring a VPN tunnel between two gateway endpoints is as follows:
1. Gather the network information
2. Configure gateway A
3. Configure gateway B
4. Activate the VPN tunnel

Gathering the Network Information

The configuration in this document follows the addressing and configuration mechanics defined
by the VPN Consortium. Gather all the necessary information before you begin the configuration
process. Verify whether the firmware is up to date, all of the addresses that will be necessary, and
all of the parameters that need to be set on both sides. Check that there are no firewall restrictions.
