Set Up Virtual Private Networking With IPSec Connections

VPN Client supports IPv4 only; a future release of the VPN Client
might support IPv6.
IPSec VPN Wizard Overview
Configuring a VPN tunnel connection requires that you specify all settings on both sides of
the VPN tunnel to match or mirror each other precisely, which can be a daunting task. The
VPN Wizard efficiently guides you through the setup procedure with a series of questions that
determine the IPSec keys and VPN policies it sets up. The VPN Wizard also configures the
settings for the network connection: security association (SA), traffic selectors, authentication
algorithm, and encryption. The settings that the VPN Wizard uses are based on the
recommendations of the VPN Consortium (VPNC), an organization that promotes
multivendor VPN interoperability.
Tip: To ensure that VPN tunnels stay active, after completing the wizard,
manually change the VPN policy to enable keep-alives. The VPN
firewall periodically sends ping packets to the host on the peer side of
the network to keep the tunnel alive. For more information, see
Configure Keep-Alives on page 415.
Tip: For DHCP WAN configurations, first set up the tunnel with IP
addresses. After you validate the connection, you can use the wizard
to create new policies using the FQDN for the WAN addresses.
View the IPSec VPN Wizard Default Values
The IPSec VPN Wizard default values are the settings that the IPSec VPN Wizard uses when
you set up a VPN connection. Except for the local WAN ID and remote WAN ID, you cannot
change the default settings when you use the IPSec VPN Wizard. However, these values
work for most configurations.
If you must use other values, configure the IPSec VPN connection manually (see Manage
IPSec VPN Policies Manually on page 368).
In such a situation, you can also first configure the IPSec VPN connection with the IPSec
VPN Wizard and the default values. The IPSec VPN Wizard generates a VPN policy and an
IKE policy automatically. Then, you can adjust the VPN policy, IKE policy, or both with your
custom values.
To view the IPSec VPN Wizard default values:
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.
