Multiple Network IPsec

Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 offers an enhancement to IPsec VPN tunnels allowing multiple network support. This feature enhances your Netopia Router’s Virtual Private Networking functionality.

This feature allows you to define many local and remote network ranges for a given IPsec VPN profile. Each of these ranges has its own IPsec tunnel. However, each tunnel has a common tunneling endpoint and encryption policy. This is useful, for example, for branch office management of multiple IP subnets over an encrypted VPN tunnel. The following diagram illustrates this feature:

Advantages of Multiple Network IPsec are:

■scalability

■flexibility, by adding any combination of remote/local network ranges
