Appendix C: Configuring IPSec between a Windows 2000 or XP Computer and the Gateway
How to Establish a Secure IPSec Tunnel
Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with 2 Phone Ports
Step 5: Create a Tunnel Through the Web-Based Utility
1. Open your web browser, and enter
192.168.1.1
in the Address field. Press the
Ente
r key.
2. When the User name and Password field appears, enter the default user name and password
admin
. Press
the
Enter
key.
3. From the
Setup
tab, click the
VPN
tab.
4. From the
VPN
tab, select the tunnel you wish to create in the
Select Tunnel Entry
drop-down box. Then click
Enabled
. Enter the name of the tunnel in the
Tunnel Name
field. This is to allow you to identify multiple
tunnels and does not have to match the name used at the other end of the tunnel.
5. Enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the local VPN Router in the
Local Secure Group
fields. To allow
access to the entire IP subnet, enter 0 for the last set of IP Addresses. (e.g. 192.168.1.0).
6. Enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the VPN device at the other end of the tunnel (the remote VPN Router
or device with which you wish to communicate) in the
Remote Security Router
fields.
7. Select fromtwo different types of encryption:
DES
or
3DES
(3DES is recommended because it is more secure).
You may choose either of these, but it must be the same type of encryption that is being used by the VPN
device at the other end of the tunnel. Or, you may choose not to encrypt by selecting Disable.
8. Select from two types of authentication:
MD5
and
SHA
(SHA is recommended because it is more secure). As
with encryption, either of these may be selected, provided that the VPN device at the other end of the tunnel
is using the same type of authentication. Or, both ends of the tunnel may choose to
Disable
authentication.
9. Select the Key Management. Select
Auto (IKE)
and enter a series of numbers or letters in the
Pre-shared Key
field. Check the box next to
PFS
(Perfect Forward Secrecy) to ensure that the initial key exchange and IKE
proposals are secure. You may use any combination of up to 24 numbers or letters in this field. No special
characters or spaces are allowed. In the
Key Lifetime
field, you may optionally select to have the key expire at
the end of a time period of your choosing. Enter the number of seconds you’d like the key to be useful, or
leave it blank for the key to last indefinitely.
10. Click the
Save Settings
button to save these changes.
Your tunnel should now be established.
