VPN Configuration of NETGEAR FVG318
v1.0, September 2007
You are new ready to activate the tunnel, but you must do it from the client endpoint (see
“Initiating and Checking the VPN Connections” on page C-18
). In the client-to-gateway scenario,
the gateway router will not know the client’s IP address until the client initiates the traffic.
Initiating and Checking the VPN Connections
You can test connectivity and view VPN status information on the FVG318 and VPN Client
according to the testing flowchart shown in
Figure C-2
. To test the VPN tunnel from the Gateway
A LAN, do the following:
1.
Test 1: Launch Scenario_1 Connection from Client PC: To check the VPN Connection, you
can initiate a request from the remote PC to the VPN router’s network by using the Connect
option in the VPN Client’s menu bar (see
Figure C-12
). Since the remote PC has a
dynamically assigned WAN IP address, it must initiate the request.
a.
Open the popup menu by right-clicking on the system tray icon.
b.
Select
Connect
to open the
My Connections
list.
c.
Choose
Scenario_1
.
The VPN Client reports the results of the attempt to connect. Once the connection is
established, you can access resources of the network connected to the VPN router.
Alternative Ping Test
: To perform a ping test as an alternative, start from the remote PC:
a.
From a Windows Client PC, click the
Start
button on the task bar and then click
Run
.
b.
Type
ping -t 10.5.6.1
, and then click
OK
.
c.
This will cause a continuous ping to be sent to the LAN interface of Gateway A. Within
two minutes, the ping response should change from timed out to reply.
At this point the VPN-tunnel-endpoint-to-VPN-tunnel-endpoint connection is established.
