Using the VPN Setup Wizard
If the VPN uses certificated-based authentication, then the certificates must be installed prior to running
the VPN Setup Wizard. (See section 3.9.1 Certificate Management and 802.1X Authentication.)
Furthermore, the date and time must be set correctly on the unit or authentication will fail (See section
3.7.1—Date, Time and NTP on Page 162).
In this example, we assume that the pre-shared key based authentication is used.
The VPN Setup Wizard is the simplest way to configure a VPN connection on the unit. First navigate to
Wizards and click on VPN Setup from the navigation side-bar.
