VPN Tunnel Configuration

There are two tunnel configurations and three ways to configure them:
• Use the VPN Wizard to configure a VPN tunnel (recommended for most situations):
— See “How to Set Up a Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuratio n” on page 5-5.
— See “How to Set Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Configuration” on page 5-20 .
• See Chapter 6, “Advanced Virtual Private Networking” when the VPN Wizard and its VPNC
defaults (see Table 5-1 on page 5-4) are not appropriate for your special circumstances.

How to Set Up a Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration

Setting up a VPN between a remote PC running the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client and a
network gateway (see Figure 5-3) involves the following two steps:
•“Step 1: Configuring the Client-to-Gateway VPN T unnel on the FVS318v3” on page 5-6 uses
the VPN Wizard to configure the VPN tunnel between the remote PC and network gateway.
•“Step 2: Configuring the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client on the Remote PC” on page 5-9
