ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G Reference Manual
5-22 Virtual Private Networking Using IPsec
1.1 November, 2009
Mode Config Operation
After IKE Phase 1 is complete, the VPN connection initiator (remote user/client) asks for IP
configuration parameters such as IP address, subnet mask and name server addresses. The Mode
Config module will allocate an IP address from the configured IP address pool and will activate a
temporary IPsec policy using the template security proposal information configured in the Mode
Config record.
Configuring the VPN Firewall Router
Two menus must be configured—the Mode Config menu and the IKE Policies menu.
To configure the Mode Config menu:
1. Click VPN in the main menu.
2. Click Mode Config in the submenu. The Mode Config tab is displayed.
3. Click Add. The Add Mode Config Record screen is displayed
Note: After configuring a Mode Config record, you must go to the IKE Policies menu
and configure an IKE policy using the newly-created Mode Config record as the
Remote Host Configuration Record. The VPN Policies menu does not need to be
edited.
