You must configure the outbound VPN settings on one end to match the inbound VPN settings on other end, and vice versa. This set of configuration information defines a security association (SA) between the two VPN endpoints. When planning your VPN, you must make a few choices first: • Will the local end be any device on the LAN, a portion of the local network (as defined by a subnet or by a range of IP addresses), or a single PC? • Will the remote end be any device on the remote LAN, a portion of the remote network (as defined by a subnet or by a range of IP addresses), or a single PC? • Will either endpoint use Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs)? FQDNs supplied by Dynamic DNS providers (see "The Use of a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)" on page B-8) can allow a VPN endpoint with a dynamic IP address to initiate or respond to a tunnel request. Otherwise, the side using a dynamic IP address must always be the initiator. 8-4 Virtual Private Networking v3.0, September 2005
