Configure Virtual Private Networking (VPN) IPsec parameters
Digi TransPort WR Routers User Guide 421
Set up IPsec tunnels for multiple users
For small numbers of users it is usual to set up an individual eroute for each user. However, to ease
configuration where large numbers of users are required, you can use the * character as a wildcard
to match multiple user IDs. For example, setting the Peer ID parameter to Digi* would match all
remote units having an Our ID parameter starting with Digi, such as Digi01, Digi02, etc.
Example
To set up multiple users in this way, first set up the Our ID parameter on the host unit to a suitable
name, such as Host1. Then set the Peer ID parameter to Remote* for example. In addition, an entry
would be made in the user table with Remote* for the Username and a suitable Password value,
such as mysecret.
Each of the remote units that required access to the host would then have to be configured with an
Our ID parameter of Remote01, Remote02, etc., and each would have to have an entry in their user
table for User Host1 along with its password, such as the pre-shared key.
