NETGEAR VPN Configuration
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200
Step 2: Configure Gateway B (the Modem Router at the
Regional Office)
This procedure assumes that the PC running the client has a dynamically assigned IP
address.
The PC needs to have a VPN client program installed that supports IPSec (in this case study,
the NETGEAR VPN ProSafe Client is used). Go to the NETGEAR website
(
www.netgear.com
) for information about how to purchase the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN
Client.
Note:
Before installing the software, be sure to turn off any virus protection
or firewall software you might be running on your PC.
1.
Install the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client on the remote PC, and then reboot.
a.
You might need to insert your Windows CD to complete the installation.
b.
If you do not have a modem or dial-up adapter installed in your PC, you might see
the warning message stating “The NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Component requires at
least one dial-up adapter be installed.” You can disregard this message.
c.
Install the IPSec component. You might have the option to install either the VPN
adapter or the IPSec component or both. The VPN adapter is not necessary.
d.
The system should show the ProSafe icon (
) in the system tray after rebooting.
e.
Double-click the system tray icon to open the Security Policy Editor.
2.
Add a new connection.
a.
Run the NETGEAR ProSafe Security Policy Editor program, and create a VPN
Connection.
b.
From the Edit menu of the Security Policy Editor, select Add > Connection. A New
Connection listing appears in the list of policies.
c.
Rename the new connection to
match the connection name you
entered in the VPN settings of
Gateway A. Choose connection
names that make sense to the
people using and administrating the
VPN.
Note:
In this example, the connection
name on the client side of the VPN
tunnel is
toGW_A
. It does not have to
match the VPN_client connection
name used on the gateway side of the
VPN tunnel because connection
names do not affect how the VPN tunnel functions.
