Virtual Private Networking Using IPsec

The VPN Policies screen allows you to add additional policies—either Auto or Manual—and to 
manage the VPN policies already created. You can edit policies, enable or disable policies, or 
delete them entirely. The rules for VPN policy use are:

1. Traffic covered by a policy will automatically be sent via a VPN tunnel. 

2. When traffic is covered by two or more policies, the first matching policy will be used. (In this 

situation, the order of the policies is important. However, if you have only one policy for each 
remote VPN Endpoint, then the policy order is not important.) 

3. The VPN tunnel is created according to the parameters in the SA (Security Association). 

4. The remote VPN Endpoint must have a matching SA, or it will refuse the connection. 

Only one Client Policy may configured at a time (noted by an “*” next to the policy name). The 
Policy Table contains the following fields: 

•

! (Status). Indicates whether the policy is enabled (green circle) or disabled (grey circle). To 
Enable or Disable a Policy, check the radio box adjacent to the circle and click Enable or 
Disable, as required. 

•

Name. Each policy is given a unique name (the Connection Name when using the VPN 
Wizard). 

•

Type. The Type is “Auto” or “Manual” as described previously (Auto is used during VPN 
Wizard configuration). 

•

Local. IP address (either a single address, range of address or subnet address) on your local 
LAN. Traffic must be from (or to) these addresses to be covered by this policy. (The Subnet 
address is supplied as the default IP address when using the VPN Wizard).

•

Remote. IP address or address range of the remote network. Traffic must be to (or from) these 
addresses to be covered by this policy. (The VPN Wizard default requires the remote LAN IP 
address and subnet mask).

•

Auth. Authentication Algorithm used for the VPN tunnel. The default setting using the VPN 
Wizard is SHA1. (This setting must match the Remote VPN.) 

•

Encr. Encryption algorithm used for the VPN tunnel. The default setting using the VPN 
Wizard is 3DES. (This setting must match the Remote VPN.) 

•

Action. Allows you to access individual policies to make any changes or modifications.
