VPN for Two SonicWALLs
VPN between two SonicWALLs allows users to securely access files and applications at
remote locations. The first step to set up a VPN between two SonicWALLs is creating
corresponding Security Associations (SAs). The instructions below describe how to
create an SA using Manual Keying and Internet Key Exchange (IKE). These
instructions are followed by an example illustrating a VPN tunnel between two SonicWALLs.
Either Manual Key or IKE using Preshared Secret can be used to configure a VPN
tunnel between two SonicWALLs.
Manual Key for Two SonicWALLs
Click VPN on the left side of the SonicWALL browser window, and then click the Configure
tab.
1. Select Manual Key from the IPSec Keying Mode menu.
2. Select -Add New SA- from the Security Association menu.
3. Enter a descriptive name for the Security Association, such as "Chicago Office" or
"Remote Management", in the Name field.
4. Enter the IP address of the remote VPN gateway, such as another SonicWALL VPN
gateway, in the IPSec Gateway Address field. This must be a valid IP address and
is the remote VPN gateway NAT Public Address if NAT is enabled. Enter "0.0.0.0" if the
remote VPN gateway has a dynamic IP address.
