Configuring a Virtual Private Network

3.If the signer of the remote X.509 certificate has not already been included in the CA list file that has already been downloaded to the IOLAN, you need to add (append) the signer of the X.509 certificate to the CA list file and then download the file to the IOLAN by selecting Tools,

Advanced, Keys and Certificates. In the Keys and Certificates window, select Download SSL/TLS CA and the file name and click OK. Note that this file must be a concatenation of all certificate signers required for any SSL/TLS, LDAP, SSH, and/or IPsec connections.

4.Enable the IPsec service found in Security, Services.

Host-to-Host

The following example shows how to configure two IOLANs to work as VPN gateways for a host-to-host IPsec tunnel. NAT Traversal (NAT_T) is enabled in this example (on both sides) because the VPN tunnel is going private network to public network to private network. In this example, both of the IOLAN VPN gateways have a DHCP assigned IP address.

1.The following window configures the Left IOLAN VPN Gateway:

%defaultroute is entered for the Local IP Address because the IP address is DHCP assigned and is therefore subject to change.
