NETGEAR FVS124G User Manual

VPN Settings Explained
This section explains the various settings found on your NETGEAR, and how they relate to VPN
Tracker’s settings. We will first go through the IKE policy settings from top to bottom, then
through the VPN policy settings. In the end, a few selected VPN Tracker settings that have no
matching setting on the NETGEAR, or are found elsewhere, are explained.
IKE Policy
The IKE Policy contains the settings for the first phase in the process of establishing a VPN connection. Many of the
settings here correspond to settings located in VPN Tracker on the Basic tab, or under Advanced > Phase 1.

Policy Name: The policy name is used only for naming connections on the
device. Use a name that you will recognize later.
Direction / Type: Must be “Responder” for VPN clients to be able to
connect.
Exchange Mode: Always use “Aggressive” Mode if VPN clients connect
from dynamic IP addresses. The Exchange Mode configured here must
match the Advanced > Exchange Mode setting in VPN Tracker. If you must
for some reason use Main Mode here, please refer to your device’s
documentation for any prerequisites for using Main Mode.
