Figure 112: Editing A VPN Connection, Part 2

The Public IP address fields determine the IP address of the side of the connection being edited. Check the Address or hostname.. field and provide a fixed IP address or hostname. If this side reflects a remote client whose IP address changes, select Automatic (%any). Use From default route if the host's IP is dynamically assigned.

The System identifier fields provide IPsec with a way to determine which section of the connection applies to which host. Left to Default the parameter will use the public IP address from above. Set to None, the router will use an empty id. You can override these with an IP address or hostname.

The Private subnet behind system fields determine if this system has an internal network connected to it that the other host should be granted access to. Enter a network address and prefix length into this field. If you enter a subnet of 0.0.0.0/0 in this field, this connection will serve as a default route for all traffic.

The System's public key fields provide an RSA key if RSA keying is to be used. If you want to use secret keying, select None. When you first create a connection, this field is filled in for you with the local system's RSA key. If you are filling in this field for the remote system, the key can be obtained from the Show Public Key page on that system. Select Certificate File and provide a certificate if using X.509 certificates.

The Next hop to other system fields determine the address to forward traffic to in order to reach the other system. Unless you have an unusual network setup, this field should be set to Default route.

Note: If you set Next hop to other system to “default”, you must configure a default route. You can check for the existence of a default route with the Network Configuration menu, Current Routing & Interface Table icon . A default route will be indicated by a “default” in the Destination column.

Export Configuration

Selecting the “Export Configuration” button provides a means to capture the connection specification in such a way as to be importable at the remote router.
