VPN Process Overview

Even though IPSec is standards-based, each vendor has its own set of terms and procedures for

implementing the standard. Because of these differences, it may be a good idea to review some of

the terms and the generic processes for connecting two gateways before diving into the specifics.

Network Interfaces and Addresses

The VPN gateway is aptly named because it functions as a “gatekeeper” for each of the computers

connected on the Local Area Network behind it.

In most cases, each Gateway will have a “public” facing address (WAN side) and a “private”

facing address (LAN side). These addresses are referred to as the “network interface” in

documentation regarding the construction of VPN communication. Please note that the addresses

used in the example do not use full TCP/IP notation.

Interface Addressing

This TechNote uses example addresses provided the VPN Consortium. It is important to

understand that you will be using addresses specific to the devices that you are attempting to

connect via IPSec VPN.

VPNC Example Network Interface Addressing

It is also important to make sure the addresses do not overlap or conflict. That is, each set of

addresses should be separate and distinct.
