Creating a VPN Tunnel Connection to a VPN Client

You can set up multiple Gateway VPN tunnel policies through the VPN Wizard. Multiple remote VPN Client policies can also be set up through the VPN Wizard by changing the default End Point Information settings. A remote client policy can support up to 25 clients. The remote clients must configure the "Local Identity" field in their policy as "PolicyName<X>.fvs_remote.com", where X stands for a number from 1 to 25.

As an example, if the client-type policy on the router is configured with "home" as the policy name, and if two users are required to connect using this policy, then the "Local Identity" in their policy should be configured as "home1.fvs_remote.com" and "home2.fvs_remote.com", respectively.

Select VPN from the main menu and VPN Wizard from the submenu. The VPN Wizard screen will display.

Select VPN Client as your VPN tunnel connection. The wizard needs to know if you are planning to connect to a remote Gateway or setting up the connection for a remote client/PC to establish a secure connection to this device.

Select a Connection Name. Enter an appropriate name for the connection. This name is not supplied to the remote VPN Endpoint. It is used to help you manage the VPN settings.

Enter a Pre-shared Key. The key must be entered both here and on the remote VPN Gateway, or the remote VPN Client. This key length should be minimum 8 characters and should not exceed 49 characters. This method does not require using a CA (Certificate Authority).

The Remote Identifier Information and the Local Identifier Information will display with the default IKE Client Policy values: fvs_remote.com for the remote end point and fvs_local.com for the local end point.

Click Apply. The VPN Client screen will display showing that the VPN Client has been enabled. Click the IKE Policies tab to view the corresponding IKE Client Policy.
