VPN Telecommuter: Dual Gateway WAN Ports for Improved Reliability
In the case of the dual WAN ports on the gateway VPN firewall (Figure 3-17), the remote PC
client initiates the VPN tunnel with the active gateway WAN port (port WAN1 in this example)
because the IP address of the remote NAT router is not known in advance. The gateway WAN port
must act as the responder.
Figure 3-17: Dual gateway WAN ports, before rollover, for VPN telecommuter
The IP addresses of the gateway WAN ports can be either fixed or dynamic, but a fully-qualified
domain name must always be used because the active WAN port could be either WAN1 or WAN2
(i.e., the IP address of the active WAN port is not known in advance).
After a rollover of the gateway WAN port (Figure 3-18), the previously inactive gateway WAN
port becomes the active port (port WAN2 in this example) and the remote PC must re-establish the
VPN tunnel. The gateway WAN port must act as the responder.
