ProSafe Wireless-N VPN Firewall SRXN3205 Reference Manual
Virtual Private Networking Using IPsec
6-17
v1.0, October 2008
Manually Assigning IP Addresses to Remote Users
(ModeConfig)
To simply the process of connecting remote VPN clients to the SRXN3205, the ModeConfig
module can be used to assign IP addresses to remote users, including a network access IP address,
subnet mask, and name server addresses from the firewall. Remote users are given IP addresses
available in secured network space so that remote users appear as seamless extensions of the
network.
In the following example, we configured the firewall using ModeConfig, and then configured a PC
running ProSafe VPN Client software using these IP addresses.
NETGEAR SRXN3205 ProSafe Wireless-N VPN Firewall
WAN IP address: 172.21.4.1
LAN IP address/subnet: 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0
NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client software IP address: 192.168.1.2
Mode Config 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 Mode
Config 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 Mode
Config record.
Configuring the VPN Firewall
Two menus must be configured—the Mode Config menu and the IKE Policies menu.
To configure the Mode Config menu:
1.
Click
VPN
in the main menu.
2.
Click
IPsec VPN
in the submenu.
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.
