Configuring Virtual Private Networks

WatchGuard Firebox X Edge
The WatchGuard Management Server (previously known as the
DVCP Server) uses DVCP to keep the VPN tunnel configuration.
DVCP (Dynamic VPN Configuration Protocol) is the WatchGuard®
protocol that you can use to create IPSec tunnels easily. Watchguard
uses the name Managed VPN because the Management Server man-
ages the VPN tunnel and sends the VPN configuration to your
Edg
e.
An Edge administrator must type only a small quantity of info
rma-
t
i
on into
the Edg
e co
nfiguration pages.
You must have WatchGuard System Manager and a Firebox III, Fire-
box X Core, or Firebox X Peak to have a Management Server. When
your Firebox X Edge gets its VPN configuration from a Management
Server, your Edge is a client of the Management Server in a client-
server relationship. The Edge gets all of its VPN configuration from
the Management Server.
To configure a Firebox X Edge to allow WatchGuard System Man-
ager access for the creation of VPN tunnels, see “Setting up Watch-
Guard System Manager Access” on page 46.
Manual VPN: Setting Up Manual VPN Tunnels
To create a VPN tunnel manually to another Firebox® X Edge or to a
Firebox III or Firebox X, or to configure a VPN tunnel to a device
that is not a WatchGuard® device, you must use Manual VPN. Use
this section to configure Manual VPN on the Firebox X Edge.
What you need for Manual VPN
In addition to the VPN requirements at the start of this chapter, you
must have this information for a Manual VPN:
•
You must know if the IP address assigned to the other VPN
device is static or dynamic. If the other VPN device is dynamic,
your Edge must find the other device by domain name and the
other device must use Dynamic DNS.
•
You must know the shared key (passphrase) for the tunnel. The
same shared key must be used by the two devices.
•
You must know the encryption method used for the tunnel (DES
or 3DES). Each VPN device must use the same method.
