This option is primarily used when defining subnet-subnet connections, so that the gateways can talk to each
other and the subnet at the other, without the need to build additional host-subnet, subnet-host and host-host
tunnels.
Local Gateway IP Address:
Specify the next-hop gateway, IP address for the left participant’s connection to
the public network.
Note:
If no value is provided, the tunnel uses the right participant as its next hop.
Local Private Subnet(s):
Specify the private subnet(s) behind the left participant, expressed in CIDR format
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nn) as network/netmask. More than one subnet can be specified by using a semi-colon to
separate each entry.
Remote Public IP Address:
Specify the IP address of Host name of the right participant’s public-network
interface. This field is required if Client is selected as Tunnel Type. If “Server” or “Dynamic” is selected as
Tunnel Type, and this field is blank, then the value of
%any
will be used in the configuration file.
Remote Gateway IP Address:
Specify the next hop gateway IP Address for the right participant’s connection
to the public network.
Note:
If no value is provided., the tunnel uses the left participant as it’s next hop.
Remote Private Subnet(s):
Specify the private subnet(s) behind the right participant, expressed in CIDR
format (xx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nn) as network/netmask. More than one subnet can be specified by using a semi-colon
to separate each entry.
