Configuration of the VPN IPSec tunnel on the branch gateway

The GUI™ Assistant makes the VPN configuration on the branch gateway easier as well. For this, go to the following menu:

  1. Go to Assistants -> VPN -> VPN Connections -> New.

  2. For VPN Scenario select the IPSec-LAN-LAN Connection .

  3. Click on Next to set up a new VPN connection.

Enter the required data for the connection.

Assistants -> VPN -> VPN Connections -> Next

Proceed as follows to configure a new VPN connection:

  1. Under Description enter e.g. Head Office .

  2. The Local IPSec ID enter the ID of you branch gateway appropriately to the Remote IPSec ID of the head office gateway, e.g. branch1 .

  3. Under Remote IPSec ID enter the local IPSec ID of the remote gateway, e.g. 212.212.212.1 .

  4. For the authentification enter Preshared Key , e.g. supersecretgeheimkey .

  5. Under Local IP Address enter the IP address of the bintec RS120™ , e.g. 192.168.1.1 .

  6. For the IPSec Peer Address the WAN IP address of the bintec R3002™ must be provided, e.g. 212.212.212.1 .

  7. Under IP Address of Remote Network enter the network address of the branch, e.g. 192.168.1.0 and the Netmask 255.255.255.0 .

  8. Press OK to confirm your entries.

Due to the dynamic IP address of the bintec RS120™ the VPN IPSec tunnel can only be set up in one direction (i.e. branch -> head office). The tunnel must always be active so that the connection of both locations can be used. For this, go to the following menu:

  1. Go to VPN -> IPSec -> IPSec Peers -> -> Advanced Settings.

VPN -> IPSec -> IPSec Peers -> -> Advanced Settings

Proceed as follows to configure the VPN IPSec tunnel:

  1. Set Start Mode to Always active .

  2. Leave all other settings unchanged and confirm your entries with OK.
