Configuring a gateway

A gateway specifies endpoints for one or more tunnels. The standard specified for a gateway, such as isakmp automated key negotiation, becomes the standard for tunnels created with the gateway.

From the IPSec Configuration dialog box:

1Click Gateways.

2To add a gateway, click Add.

3Enter the gateway name.

This name identifies a gateway only within Policy Manager.

4Use the Key Negotiation Type drop list to select either isakmp (dynamic) or

Manual.

For more information, see “Configuring a tunnel with dynamic security” on page 127 and “Configuring a tunnel with manual security” on page 126.

5In the Remote Gateway IP field, enter the IP address of the Firebox (or other IPSec-compliant host) at the other end of the gateway.

6Enter the shared key.

The Shared Key field is available only for ISAKMP-negotiated gateways. The same key must be entered at the remote gateway.

7Click OK.

The Configure Gateways dialog box appears listing the newly configured gateway. Repeat the Add Gateway procedure to add additional gateways.

8When you finish adding gateways, click OK to return to the IPSec Configuration dialog box.
