General
The DG834G VPN tunnel network connection fields are defined as follows:
•
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
—select the desired option (IP address or Fully Qualified 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.
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.
•
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.
