Configuring Vpn Clients - D-Link DWC-1000 User Manual

Configuring VPN Clients

The wireless controller supports the following types of tunnels:
• Gateway-to-gateway VPN. This setup connects two or more wireless controllers to secure
traffic between remote sites. Figure 6-1 shows an example of this configuration.
• Remote Client (client-to-gateway VPN tunnel). In this setup, the IP address of the remote
PC is not known. Therefore, the remote client initiates the VPN tunnel and the gateway
acts as a responder.
• Remote client behind a NAT controller: In this setup, the client has a dynamic IP address
and is located behind a NAT controller. The remote PC client at the NAT controller initiates
a VPN tunnel, as the IP address of the remote NAT controller is not known in advance.
The gateway Option port acts as a responder.
Note: VPN client software is required to establish a VPN tunnel between the wireless
controller and remote endpoint. Open source software, such as OpenVPN or Openswan, as
well as Microsoft IPsec VPN software can be configured with the required IKE policy
parameters to establish an IPsec VPN tunnel. For more information, refer to the
documentation for the VPN client software.
