Manually Assigning IP Addresses to Remote Users (ModeConfig)

To simply the process of connecting remote VPN clients to the FVS338, the ModeConfig module can be used to assign IP addresses to remote users, including a network access IP address, subnet mask, and name server addresses from the router. Remote users are given IP addresses available in secured network space so that remote users appear as seamless extensions of the network.

In the following example, we configured the VPN firewall using ModeConfig, and then configured a PC running ProSafe VPN Client software using these IP addresses.
