Extended Authentication (Xauth), is an extension to the IKE protocol, for IPSec tunnelling. The Xauth
extension provides dual authentication for a remote user’s Motorola Netopia
®
Gateway to establish a VPN,
authorizing network access to the user’s central office.
•
From the
XAuth mode of operation
pop-up menu select:
Disabled
,
Remote VPN client
, or
VPN
concentrator
.
•
Disabled
– The default value, hides all other options.
•
Remote VPN client
– This allows Xauth to
send
authentication credentials, and to possibly acquire
VPN IP parameters. If you select
Remote VPN Client
,
Xauth Recipient Auth. Check
does not display.
When Xauth is set to
Remote VPN Client
, you can configure the IPSec profile with IP values that allow
the Router to
acquire
its IP parameters:
• The
NAT PAT IP address
can now be left at the default 0.0.0.0, indicating that the address is to be
requested from the remote address ser ver and dynamically applied to the profile.
•
Remote Members
can be set to a subnet of 0.0.0.0/255.255.255.255, indicating that the network
value is to be dynamically requested as well. The acquired value will be applied to all VPN remote
member ranges whose value is exactly 0.0.0.0/255.255.255.255 and whose type is “subnet.” This
configuration requires that
Idle Timeout
in the Advanced IP Profile Options menu be set to 0 (zero) sec-
onds, specifying that the tunnel should be automatically initiated and permanently connected (“nailed
up.”) See
“Multiple Network IPsec” on page 6-17
.
Note:
If there is an error with the IKE connection, it will attempt to connect repeatedly.
