7.3 Secure Networks Interconnection or Using VPN
Figure 91: Secure networks interconnection – sample topology
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a protocol used to create a secure connection between two
LANs, allowing them to function as a single network. The connection is secured (encrypted)
and authenticated (verified). It is used over public, untrusted networks. (See fig.
.) You may
use several different secure protocols.
•
OpenVPN
(it is a configuration item in the web interface of the router), see chapter
or
the "OpenVPN Tunnel" application note. You can download the PDF on the Internet at:
https://www.doc.hirschmann.com
•
IPsec
(it is also configuration item in the web interface of the router), see chapter
or the "IPsec Tunnel" application note. You can download the PDF on the Internet at:
https://www.doc.hirschmann.com
You can also create non-encrypted tunnels:
GRE
,
PPTP
and
L2TP
. You can use GRE or
L2TP tunnel in combination with IPsec to create VPNs.
There is an example of an OpenVPN tunnel in Fig.
. To establish this tunnel you will need
the opposite router’s IP address, the opposite router’s network IP address (not necessary) and
the pre-shared secret (key). Create the OpenVPN tunnel by configuring the
Mobile WAN
and
OpenVPN
items in the
Configuration
section.
