Vigor Router Setup
1. Go to VPN and Remote Access >> IPsec General Setup, enter Pre-shared Key and confirm it again, then click OK.
2. Go to VPN and Remote Access >> Remote Dial-in User, and click an available Index.
3. Set up IPsec profile for the remote dial-in user:
- Enable this account
- Make sure IPsec Tunnel is enabled at Allowed Dial-in Type
- Click OK to save.
4. (Optional) Use Specify Remote Node to increase security by letting allow the connection from only the specified IP address and using a customized IKE Pre-Shared Key for this account (instead of general pre-shared key)
VPN Client Setup
5. Open Smart VPN Client on the VPN client, and click Profiles >> Add
6. Set up VPN profile as follows
- Enter Profile Name
- Select IPSec Tunnel for Type
- Enter VPN Server’s IP (the router’s WAN IP) at Server Information
- At IP Property, input VPN server’s LAN subnet at Remote Subnet and Remote Subnet Mask
- Choose Pre-shared Key at Authentication Method and input the same Pre-shared key as step 1.
- Click OK to save
Active the IPsec connection
7. Select the profile we just created at Active Profile, and switch on Active.
8. Click OK to start dialing.
9. Due to IPSec’s settings, we need to initiate the IPsec connection by generating some traffic to the VPN side. Pinging the router’s LAN IP address is a simple way to do this.
Network Administrator may also check the online VPN clients by going to VPN and Remote Access >> Connection Management.
