In addition to being able to act as a PPTP or L2TP server, NetDefendOS also offers the ability to act as a PPTP or L2TP clients. This can be useful if PPTP or L2TP is preferred as the VPN protocol instead of IPsec. One NetDefend Firewall can act as a client and connect to another unit which acts as the server. Client Setup PPTP and L2TP shares a common approach to client setup which involves the following settings: General Parameters • Name - A symbolic name for the client. • Interface Type - Specifies if it is a PPTP or L2TP client. • Remote Endpoint - The IP address of the remote endpoint. Where this is specified as a URL, the prefix dns: must be precede it. Names of Assigned Addresses Both PPTP and L2TP utilizes dynamic IP configuration using the PPP LCP protocol. When NetDefendOS receives this information, it is stored in symbolic host/network names. The settings for this are: • Inner IP Address - The host name that is used for storing the assigned IP address. If this network object exists and has a value which is not 0.0.0.0 then the PPTP/L2TP client will try to get that one from the PPTP/L2TP server as the preferred IP. • Automatically pick name - If this option is enabled then NetDefendOS will create a host name based on the name of the PPTP/L2TP interface, for example ip_PPTPTunnel1. • Primary/Secondary DNS Name - This defines the DNS servers from a list of predefined network objects. Note: The default PPTP/L2TP route A PPTP/L2TP server will not provide information such as gateway or broadcast addresses, as this is not used with PPTP/L2TP tunnels. When using PPTP/L2TP, the default route is normally routed directly across the PPTP/L2TP tunnel without a 431
