IP Address
Use this IP address for the local LAN subnet. This is usually the IP address of the router’s
Ethernet interface or that of a specific device on the local subnet (such as a PC running a
client or host application).
Mask
Use this IP mask for the local LAN subnet. The mask sets the range of IP addresses that
will be allowed to use the IPsec tunnel.
Use interface x,y
Use the IP address and mask of the specified interface.
Use these settings for the remote LAN
These define the remote LAN subnet settings used on the IPsec tunnel.
IP Address
Use this IP address for the remote LAN subnet. This is usually the IP address of the
peer’s Ethernet interface or that of a specific device on the local subnet (such as a PC
running a client or host application).
Mask
Use this IP mask for the remote LAN subnet. The mask sets the range of IP addresses
that will be allowed to use the IPsec tunnel.
Remote Subnet ID
Normally used with L2TP/IPsec VPNs. When the router is in server mode and negotiating
IPsec from behind a NAT box, this parameter should be configured to the ID sent by the
remote Windows client (this is usually the computer name).
Use the following security on this tunnel
These define the security identities used on the IPsec tunnel.
Preshared Keys
Requires that both IPsec peers share a secret key, or
password, that can be matched by and verified by both
peers.
To configure the PSK, a user will need configuring that
matches the inbound ID of the remote peer and the PSK
is configured using the password parameter. This is done
via Configuration – Security > Users. The User
configuration serves a dual purpose in that it may contain
entries for normal login access (e.g. HTTP, FTP or Telnet)
and entries for IPsec tunnels.
XAUTH Init Preshared Keys
Used when the remote peer is a Cisco device using
XAUTH and PSK authentication.
RSA Signatures
Select this option when the IPsec authentication will use
X.509 certificates.
XAUTH Init RSA
Used when the remote peer is a Cisco device using
XAUTH and X.509 certificates for authentication.
Our ID
When Aggressive mode is On, this parameter is a string of up to 20 characters. It is sent
to the remote peer to identify the initiator (e.g. the router). The variable %s can be used
in this parameter which will cause the router’s serial number to be sent. It can be
prefixed with other text if required.
When certificates are being used, this parameter should be configured with the “Altname”
field in a valid certificate held on the router.
