3.
Click on the
Add A Connection
button. This will open the
Add A Connection
page to begin the VPN
configuration process.
4.
In the
Add A Connection
page the following information is required to setup the VPN:
a.
Connection Name
This will be the name of the VPN. i.e. Austin2UK.
b.
Location
There are two choices here,
Host
side (corporate network) and
Client
side (remote
site or device).
c.
Auto Start Connection at Boot
When this box is checked, the unit will automatically try to
bring up the VPN connection when the unit is rebooted.
(We recommend that the Client side
box be checked and the Host site box remains unchecked.)
d.
Perfect Forward Secrecy
The use of a short term key and a long term key, so that if one key is
compromised the data is still secure. If both keys are compromised only the data associated with
that set of keys is vulnerable until the next re-keying sequence. Default is yes ( recommended)
e.
Authentication Method
There are two choices for authentication,
RSA Key
and
Shared
Secret
.
Choose RSA Key.
RSA Key uses key pairs that are generated and exchanged between
VPN devices.
f.
Shared Secret This area is not used when using RSA Key.
This is where the ”secret pass
phrase” that will be shared by the VPN devices is entered.
g.
ID
This should be the same IP address that is entered for the External Address.
h.
External Address
This is the IP address associated with the external interface(the interface
connected to the router/internet) of each device.
i.
Subnet
This is the IP address range (the IL/TS default is 192.168.1.0) that is being used on the
internal side of the VPN device.
Note: The internal subnets must be unique in order for the
VPN traffic to be passed thru the InterLynx/TS units. i.e. Both units cannot have the same
internal IP address range of 192.168.1.0.
j.
Next Hop
This will most likely be the Internet router for the network.
