Protect the exported VPN Configuration. The VPN configuration file requires a 
password before it can be opened, do the following:

b.  Enter a password in the Password field. 

c.  Enter the same password in the Confirm field. 

Click the OK button.

Navigate to the location where you want to save the VPN configuration file.

Type a name for the VPN configuration file.

An exported VPN configuration file name ends with a .tgb extension. Do not change this 

extension.

Click the Save button.

The VPN configuration file is saved. A shortcut displays on the desktop.

You can forward the VPN configuration or navigate to the location of the VPN configuration 
and double-click the VPN configuration shortcut icon to start the VPN Client.

You can import one or several tunnels into an existing VPN configuration. A network 
administrator typically uses this capability to merge a new VPN configuration with new 
gateways into an existing VPN configuration and deliver it to end users. You can use several 
methods to merge VPN configurations.

Regardless of how you import a VPN configuration, the following rules apply:

If at least one tunnel is already configured before you import and add the VPN 
configuration, VPN parameters are not imported.

If you import 

and replace the VPN configuration, 

or if no tunnel is configured when you 

import and 

add the VPN configuration, VPN parameters ar

e imported.

If there is a tunnel name conflict between an existing and an imported VPN configuration, 
the VPN Client automatically resolves this conflict by adding an increment between 
parentheses—for example, tunnel_office(1)—to the imported tunnel name.
