Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS318v3 Initiating and Checking the VPN Connections You can test connectivity and view VPN status information on the FVS318v3 and VPN Client according to the testing flowchart shown in Figure E-4. 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 E-27). 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 taskbar 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.
