ProSafe VPN Firewall 200 FVX538 Reference Manual VPN Road Warrior: Single Gateway WAN Port (Reference Case) In the case of the single WAN port on the gateway VPN firewall, the remote PC client initiates the VPN tunnel because the IP address of the remote PC client is not known in advance. The gateway WAN port must act as the responder. Figure B-9 The IP address of the gateway WAN port can be either fixed or dynamic. If the IP address is dynamic, a fully-qualified domain name must be used. If the IP address is fixed, a fully-qualified domain name is optional. VPN Road Warrior: Dual Gateway WAN Ports for Improved Reliability In the case of the dual WAN ports on the gateway VPN firewall, the remote PC client initiates the VPN tunnel with the active gateway WAN port (port WAN1 in this example) because the IP address of the remote PC client is not known in advance. The gateway WAN port must act as a responder. Figure B-10 B-12 Network Planning for Dual WAN Ports v1.0, March 2009
