Set Up Virtual Private Networking With IPSec Connections

ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv3

• Auto. Some settings for the VPN tunnel are generated automatically through the use of

the IKE protocol to perform negotiations between the two VPN endpoints (the local ID

endpoint and the remote ID endpoint). You still must manually enter all settings on the

remote VPN endpoint (unless the remote VPN endpoint also has a VPN Wizard). Unlike a

manual VPN policy, an automatically generated VPN policy must use the IKE negotiation

protocol.

When you use the VPN Wizard to create a VPN policy, only the Auto method is available.

In addition, a certification authority (CA) can also be used to perform authentication (see

Manage Digital Certificates for VPN Connections on page 516). For gateways to use a CA to

perform authentication, each VPN gateway must have a certificate from the CA. Both a public

key and a private key exist for each certificate. The public key is freely distributed and is used

by any sender to encrypt data intended for the receiver (the key owner). The receiver then

uses its private key to decrypt the data (without the private key, decryption is impossible). The

use of certificates for authentication reduces the amount of data entry that is required on

each VPN endpoint.

These are the rules for VPN policy use:

• Traffic covered by a policy is automatically sent through a VPN tunnel.

• When traffic is covered by two or more policies, the first matching policy is used. (In this

situation, the order of the policies is important. However, if you have only one policy for

each remote VPN endpoint, the policy order is not important.)

• The VPN tunnel is created according to the settings in the security association (SA).

• The remote VPN endpoint must have a matching SA; otherwise, it refuses the

connection.

View the VPN Policies

The following procedure describes how to view the VPN policies that were automatically

added and that you manually added.

 To view the VPN policies:

1. On your computer, launch an Internet browser.

2. In the address field of your browser, enter the IP address that was assigned to the VPN

firewall during the installation process.

The VPN firewall factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1.

The NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen displays.

3. In the Username field, type your user name and in the Password / Passcode field, type

your password.

For the default administrative account, the default user name is admin and the default

password is password.

4. If you changed the default domain or were assigned a domain, from the Domain menu,

select the domain.
