ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual 2. For additional status and troubleshooting information, right-click on the VPN client icon Logs and Connection Status screens in the FVS336G. Manually Assigning IP Addresses to Remote Users (ModeConfig) To simply the process of connecting remote VPN clients to the FVS336G, the ModeConfig module can be used to assign IP addresses to remote users, including a network access IP address, subnet mask, and name server addresses from the VPN firewall. Remote users are given IP addresses available in secured network space so that remote users appear as seamless extensions of the network. In the following example, we configured the VPN firewall using ModeConfig, and then configured a PC running ProSafe VPN Client software using these IP addresses. • NETGEAR FVS336G ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN - WAN IP address: 172.21.4.1 - LAN IP address/subnet: 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0 • NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client software IP address: 192.168.1.2 Mode Config Operation After IKE Phase 1 is complete, the VPN connection initiator (remote user/client) asks for IP configuration parameters such as IP address, subnet mask and name server addresses. The Mode Config module will allocate an IP address from the configured IP address pool and will activate a temporary IPsec policy using the template security proposal information configured in the Mode Config record. Note: After configuring a Mode Config record, you must go to the IKE Policies menu and configure an IKE policy using the newly-created Mode Config record as the Remote Host Configuration Record. The VPN Policies menu does not need to be edited. Configuring the VPN Firewall Two menus must be configured-the Mode Config menu and the IKE Policies menu.

For additional status and troubleshooting information, right-click on the VPN client icon Logs

and Connection Status screens in the FVS336G.

Manually Assigning IP Addresses to Remote Users

(ModeConfig)

To simply the process of connecting remote VPN clients to the FVS336G, the ModeConfig

module can be used to assign IP addresses to remote users, including a network access IP address,

subnet mask, and name server addresses from the VPN firewall. Remote users are given IP

addresses available in secured network space so that remote users appear as seamless extensions of

the network.

In the following example, we configured the VPN firewall using ModeConfig, and then

configured a PC running ProSafe VPN Client software using these IP addresses.

NETGEAR FVS336G ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN

–

WAN IP address: 172.21.4.1

–

LAN IP address/subnet: 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0

•

NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client software IP address: 192.168.1.2

Mode Config Operation

After IKE Phase 1 is complete, the VPN connection initiator (remote user/client) asks for IP

configuration parameters such as IP address, subnet mask and name server addresses. The Mode

Config module will allocate an IP address from the configured IP address pool and will activate a

temporary IPsec policy using the template security proposal information configured in the Mode

Config record.

Configuring the VPN Firewall

Two menus must be configured—the Mode Config menu and the IKE Policies menu.

To configure the Mode Config menu:

Note:

After configuring a Mode Config record, you must go to the IKE Policies menu

and configure an IKE policy using the newly-created Mode Config record as the

Remote Host Configuration Record. The VPN Policies menu does not need to be

edited.
