ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) When implementing virtual private network (VPN) tunnels, a mechanism must be used for determining the IP addresses of the tunnel end points. The addressing of the firewall's dual WAN port depends on the configuration being implemented: Table C-2. IP addressing requirements for VPNs in dual WAN port systems Configuration and WAN IP address Single WAN Port (reference case) Dual WAN Port Cases Rollovera Load Balancing VPN Road Warrior (client-to-gateway) Fixed Dynamic Allowed (FQDN optional) FQDN required FQDN required FQDN required Allowed (FQDN optional) FQDN required VPN Gateway-to-Gateway Fixed Allowed (FQDN optional) FQDN required Allowed (FQDN optional) Dynamic VPN Telecommuter Fixed (client-to-gateway through a NAT router) Dynamic FQDN required Allowed (FQDN optional) FQDN required FQDN required FQDN required FQDN required FQDN required Allowed (FQDN optional) FQDN required a. All tunnels must be re-established after a rollover using the new WAN IP address. For the single gateway WAN port case, the mechanism is to use a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) when the IP address is dynamic and to use either an FQDN or the IP address itself when the IP address is fixed. The situation is different when dual gateway WAN ports are used in a rollover-based system. • Rollover Case for Dual Gateway WAN Ports Rollover (Figure C-7) for the dual gateway WAN port case is different from the single gateway WAN port case when specifying the IP address of the VPN tunnel end point. Only one WAN port is active at a time and when it rolls over, the IP address of the active WAN port always changes. Hence, the use of a fully-qualified domain name is always required, even when the IP address of each WAN port is fixed. Note: Once the gateway router WAN port rolls over, the VPN tunnel collapses and must be re-established using the new WAN IP address. C-10 Network Planning for Dual WAN Ports v1.2, June 2008
