Configuration Tasks to Establish a Site-to-Site VPN Tunnel
To establish a site-to-site VPN tunnel, complete the following configuration tasks:
•
Add the subnet IP address objects for your local network and remote
network. See
•
(Optional) Import the certificates for authentication between two peers.
Skip this step if you want to use the pre-shared key for authentication. See
Managing Certificates for Authentication, page 368
•
Enable the site-to-site VPN feature on the security appliance. See
Site-to-Site VPN Settings, page 292
.
•
Configure IKE policies. See
Configuring IKE Policies, page 299
.
•
Configure transform policies. See
Configuring Transform Sets, page 301
•
Configure IPsec VPN policies. See
Configuring IPsec VPN Policies,
•
(Optional) Check an enabled IPsec VPN policy and click the
Connect
icon
to initiate the VPN connection.
When a site-to-site IPsec VPN policy is in place and enabled, a connection
will be triggered by any traffic that matches the policy. In this case, the VPN
tunnel will be set up automatically. However, for an IPsec VPN policy in which
this router’s Remote Network is set to Any (a “site-to-any” tunnel), a
connection cannot be set up automatically. Instead you must manually
establish the VPN connection by clicking the
Connect
icon.
