Altitude 3500 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide

For the usage scenario described in this section, you will require the following:
● 1 Cisco VPN device
● 1 PC connected to the LAN side of the access point and the Cisco PIX.
NOTE
The Cisco PIX device configuration should match the access point VPN configuration in terms of Local
WAN IP (PIX WAN), Remote WAN Gateway (access point WAN IP), Remote Subnet (access point LAN Subnet),
and the Remote Subnet Mask. The Auto Key Settings and the IKE Settings on the Cisco PIX should match the
access point Key and
IKE settings.
Below is how the access point VPN Status screen should look if the entire configuration is setup
correctly once the VPN tunnel is active. The status field should display “ACTIVE”.
Frequently Asked VPN Questions
The following are common questions that arise when configuring a VPN tunnel.
● Question 1: Does the access point IPSec tunnel support multiple subnets on the other end of a
VPN concentrator?
Yes. The access point can access multiple subnets on the other end of the VPN Concentrator from the
access point's Local LAN Subnet by:
● Creating multiple VPN Tunnels. The AP supports a maximum of 25 tunnels.
● When using the Remote Subnet IP Address with an appropriate subnet mask, the AP can access
multiple subnets on the remote end.
For example: If creating a tunnel using 192.168.0.0/16 for the Remote Subnet IP address, the
following subnets could be accessed:
192.168.1.x
192.168.2.x
192.168.3.x, etc
