Virtual Private Networking
v1.0, March 2009
ModeConfig 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
ModeConfig 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 ModeConfig record.
Setting Up ModeConfig
Two menus must be configured—the ModeConfig menu and the IKE Policies menu.
To configure the ModeConfig menu:
1.
Select
VPN
from the main menu and
Mode Config
from the submenu. The
Mode Config
screen will display.
2.
Click
Add.
The
Add Mode Config Record
screen will display.
3.
Enter a descriptive
Record Name
such as “Remote Users”.
4.
Assign at least one range of IP Pool addresses in the First IP Pool field to give to remote VPN
clients.
5.
If you have a WINS Server on your local network, enter its IP address.
6.
Enter one or two DNS Server IP addresses to be used by remote VPN clients.
7.
If you enable Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), select DH Group 1 or 2. This setting must match
exactly the configuration of the remote VPN client,
8.
Specify the Local IP Subnet to which the remote client will have access. Typically, this is your
router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0. (If not specified, it will default to the
LAN subnet of the device.)
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.
Note:
The IP Pool should not be within your local network IP addresses. Use a
different range of private IP addresses such as 172.20.xx.xx.
