NETGEAR VPN Configuration
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200
Modem Router with FQDN to Gateway B
This section is a case study on how to configure a VPN tunnel from a NETGEAR modem
router to a gateway using a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to resolve the public address
of one or both routers. This case study follows the VPN Consortium interoperability profile
guidelines (found at
).
Configuration Profile
The configuration in this section follows the addressing and configuration mechanics defined
by the VPN Consortium. Gather the necessary information before you begin configuration.
Verify that the firmware is up to date, and that you have all the addresses and parameters to
be set on both sides. Check that there are no firewall restrictions.

IP addressing:

Using a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)
Many ISPs provide connectivity to their customers using dynamic instead of static IP
addressing. This means that a user’s IP address does not remain constant over time, which
presents a challenge for gateways attempting to establish VPN connectivity.
A Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service allows a user whose public IP address is dynamically
assigned to be located by a host or domain name. It provides a central public database where
information (such as e-mail addresses, host names, and IP addresses) can be stored and

retrieved. Now, a gateway can be configured to use a third-party service instead of a
permanent and unchanging IP address to establish bi-directional VPN connectivity.
To use DDNS, you need to register with a DDNS service provider. Some DDNS service
providers include:
DynDNS: www.dyndns.org
TZO.com: netgear.tzo.com
ngDDNS: ngddns.iego.net
In this example, Gateway A is configured using a sample FQDN provided by a DDNS service
provider. In this case we established the hostname
dg834g.dyndns.org
for Gateway A using
the DynDNS service. Gateway B uses the DDNS service provider when establishing a VPN
tunnel.
To establish VPN connectivity, Gateway A has to be configured to use Dynamic DNS, and
Gateway B has to be configured to use a DNS host name provided by a DDNS service
provider to find Gateway A. Again, the following step-by-step procedures assume that you
have already registered with a DDNS service provider and have the configuration information
necessary to set up the gateways.
Step-by-Step Configuration
1.
Log in to Gateway A (your modem router).
This example assumes that you have set the local LAN address as 10.5.6.1 for Gateway
A and have set your own password.
2.
On Gateway A, configure the Dynamic DNS settings.
a.
Under the Advanced heading, select Dynamic
DNS.
b.
Fill in the fields with account and host name
settings.
Select the
Use a Dynamic DNS Service
check box.
In the
Host Name
field, type
gw_a.dyndns.org
.
In the
User Name
field, enter the account
user name.
In the
Password
field, enter the account
password.
c.
Click
Apply

4.
Configure the DGN2200 as in the gateway-to-gateway procedures using the VPN Wizard
(see

on page
108), being certain to use
appropriate network addresses for the environment.

b.
Enter
fvl328.dyndns.org
for the remote WAN's IP address.
c.
Enter the following:
IP Address:
172.23.9.1
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
5.
Configure the FVL328 as in the gateway-to-gateway procedures for the VPN Wizard (see
Set Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Configuration
on page
108), being certain to use
appropriate network addresses for the environment.
a.
Enter
toDG834
for the connection name.
b.
Enter
dg834g.dyndns.org
for the remote WAN's IP address.
c.
Enter the following:
IP Address:

6.
Test the VPN tunnel by pinging the remote network from a PC attached to the DGN2200.
a.
Open the command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
b.
Type
ping 172.23.9.1
If the pings fail the first time, try the pings a second time.
