4.9.2 VPN > Gateway To Gateway (Site-to-Site)

A Gateway to Gateway connection is used to create a tunnel between two VPN devices such as
an IPn4G and another device (another IPn4G or Cisco VPN Router or another vendor…). The
local and remote group settings will need to be configured below to mirror those set on the other
VPN device.

Tunnel Name

Enter a name for the VPN Tunnel. Up to 16 different tunnels can be
created, each requiring a unique name.
