Step-By-Step Configuration

  1. Log in to the DG834 labeled Gateway A as in the illustration.

    2. Out of the box, the DG834 is set for its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password. For this example we will assume you have set the local LAN address as 10.5.6.1 for Gateway A and have set your own password.

  2. Click on the Dynamic DNS link on the left side of the Settings management GUI. This will take you to the Dynamic DNS Menu.
  3. On the DG834, configure the Dynamic DNS settings.
    1. Browse to the Dynamic DNS Setup Screen (see Figure B-6) in the Advanced menu.

      2. Figure B-6

    2. Configure this screen with appropriate account and hostname settings and then click Apply.
      • Check the box Use a Dynamic DNS Service.
      • Host Name = dg834.dyndns.org
      • User Name = <user's account username>
      • Password = <user's account password>
    3. Click Show Status. The resulting screen should show Update OK: good (see Figure B-7).

  4. On the FVL328, configure the Dynamic DNS settings. Assume a properly configured DynDNS account.
    1. Browse to the Dynamic DNS Setup Screen (see Figure B-8) in the Advanced menu.

      Figure B-8

    2. Select the DynDNS.org radio button (see Figure B-8), configure with appropriate account and hostname settings (see Figure B-9), and then click Apply.
      • Host and Domain Name = fvl328.dyndns.org
      • User Name = <user's account username>
      • Password = <user's account password>

        Figure B-9

    3. Click Show Status. The resulting screen should show Update OK: good (see Figure B-10).

  5. Configure the DG834 as in the Gateway-to-Gateway procedures using the VPN Wizard (see How to Set Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Configuration), being certain to use appropriate network addresses for the environment.

    6. The LAN Addresses used in this example are as follows:

    Device
    LAN IP Address
    LAN Subnet Address
    DG834
    10.5.6.1
    255.255.255.0
    FVL328
    172.23.9.1
    255.255.255.0

    1. In Step 1, enter toFVL328 for the Connection Name.
    2. In Step 2, enter fvl328.dyndns.org for the remote WAN's IP address.
    3. In Step 3, enter the following:
      • IP Address = 172.23.9.1
      • Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
  6. Configure the FVL328 as in the Gateway-to-Gateway procedures for the VPN Wizard (see How to Set Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Configuration), being certain to use appropriate network addresses for the environment.
    1. In Step 1, enter toDG834 for the Connection Name.
    2. In Step 2, enter dg834.dyndns.org for the remote WAN's IP address.
    3. In Step 3, enter the following:
      • IP Address = 10.5.6.1
      • Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
  7. Test the VPN tunnel by pinging the remote network from a PC attached to the DG834.
    1. Open the command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
    2. ping 172.23.9.1

      Figure B-11

      Note: The pings may fail the first time. If this happens, try the pings a second time.
