Deleting a VPN Tunnel

To delete a VPN tunnel:

1.

Log in to the Router.

2.

Open the DG834G management interface and click VPN Policies to display the VPN Policies

screen (

Figure 8-40

). Select the radio button for the VPN tunnel to be deleted and click the

Delete button.

How to Set Up VPN Tunnels in Special Circumstances

When the VPN Wizard and its VPNC defaults (see

Table 8-2

) are not appropriate for your special

circumstances, use one of the following alternatives:

•

Auto Policy

—for a typical automated Internet Key Exchange (IKE) setup, see

“Using Auto

Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels” on page 8-36

. Auto Policy uses the IKE protocol to define

the authentication scheme and automatically generate the encryption keys.

Note:

When NETBIOS is enabled (which it is in the VPNC defaults implemented by

the VPN Wizard), automatic traffic will reactivate the tunnel. To prevent reactivation

from happening, either disable NETBIOS or disable the policy for the tunnel (see

“Using the Policy Table on the VPN Policies Page to Deactivate a VPN Tunnel” on page

8-32

).

Manual Policy

—for a Manual Keying setup in which you must specify each phase of the

connection, see

“Using Manual Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels” on page 8-48

. Manual

Policy does not use IKE. Rather, you manually enter all the authentication and key parameters.

You have more control over the process, however the process is more complex and there are

more opportunities for errors or configuration mismatches between your DG834G and the

corresponding VPN endpoint gateway or client workstation.

Using Auto Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels

You need to configure matching VPN settings on both VPN endpoints. The outbound VPN

settings on one end must match to the inbound VPN settings on other end, and vice versa.

See

“Example of Using Auto Policy” on page 8-41

for an example of using Auto Policy.

Configuring VPN Network Connection Parameters

All VPN tunnels on the DG834G wireless router require configuring several network parameters.

This section describes those parameters and how to access them.

The most common configuration scenarios will use IKE to manage the authentication and

encryption keys. The IKE protocol performs negotiations between the two VPN endpoints to

automatically generate and update the required encryption parameters.

Click the VPN Policies link of the main menu, and then click the Add Auto Policy button to

display the VPN - Auto Policy menu shown in

Figure 8-41

.

The DG834G VPN tunnel network connection fields are defined as follows:

General

These settings identify this policy and determine its major characteristics.

•

Policy Name

—Enter a unique name to identify this policy. This name is not supplied to the

remote VPN endpoint. It is used only to help you manage the policies.

•

Remote VPN Endpoint

—If the remote endpoint has a dynamic IP address, select "Dynamic

IP address". No "Address Data" input is required. You can set up multiple remote dynamic IP

policies, but only one such policy can be enabled at a time. Otherwise, select the desired

option (IP address or Domain Name) and enter the address of the remote VPN endpoint to

which you wish to connect.

Note:

The remote VPN endpoint must have this VPN Gateway's address entered as its

"Remote VPN Endpoint".

•

NETBIOS Enable

—check this if you wish NETBIOS traffic to be forwarded over the VPN

tunnel. The NETBIOS protocol is used by Microsoft Networking.

•

IKE Keep-alive

—Enable this if you wish to ensure that a connection is kept open, or, if that is

not possible, that it is quickly re-established when disconnected.

The Ping IP Address must be associated with the remote endpoint. The remote LAN address

must be used. This IP address will be "pinged" periodically to generate traffic for the VPN

tunnel. The remote keep-alive IP address must be covered by the remote LAN IP range and

must correspond to a device that can respond to ping. The range should be made as narrow as

possible to meet this objective.

Local LAN

This identifies which PCs on your LAN are covered by this policy. For each selection, data must

be provided as follows:

•

Single address

—enter an IP address in the "Single/Start IP address" field. Typically, this

setting is used when you wish to make a single Server on your LAN available to remote users.

•

Range address

—enter the starting IP address in the "Single/Start IP address" field, and the

finish IP address in the "Finish IP address" field. This must be an address range used on your

LAN.

•

Subnet address

—enter an IP address in the "Single/Start IP address" field, and the desired

network mask in the "Subnet Mask" field. The remote VPN endpoint must have these IP

addresses entered as its "Remote" addresses.

Remote LAN

This identifies which PCs on the remote LAN are covered by this policy. For each selection, data

must be provided as follows:

•

Single PC - no Subnet

—

select this option if there is no LAN (only a single PC) at the remote

endpoint. If this option is selected, no additional data is required. The typical application is a

PC running the VPN client at the remote end.

•

Single address

—

Enter an IP address in the "Single/Start IP address" field. This must be an

address on the remote LAN. Typically, this setting is used when you wish to access a server on

the remote LAN.

•

Range address

—

enter the starting IP address in the "Single/Start IP address" field, and the

finish IP address in the "Finish IP address" field. This must be an address range used on the

remote LAN.

•

Subnet address

—

enter an IP address in the "Single/Start IP address" field, and the desired

network mask in the "Subnet Mask" field.

The remote VPN endpoint must have these IP addresses entered as its "Local" addresses.

IKE

Direction/Type

—

this setting is used when determining if the IKE policy matches the current

traffic. Select the desired option.

•

Responder only

—incoming connections are allowed, but outgoing connections will be

blocked.

•

Initiator and Responder

—

both incoming and outgoing connections are allowed.

Exchange Mode

—

ensure the remote VPN endpoint is set to use "Main Mode".

Diffie-Hellman (DH) Group

—

the Diffie-Hellman algorithm is used when exchanging keys. The

DH Group setting determines the number of bit size used in the exchange. This value must match

the value used on the remote VPN Gateway.

Local Identity Type

—select the desired option to match the "Remote Identity Type" setting on the

remote VPN endpoint.

•

WAN IP Address

—

your Internet IP address.

•

Fully Qualified Domain Name

—

your domain name.

•

Fully Qualified User Name

—

your name, E-mail address, or other ID.
