Adding a New IPsec Connection Parent topic

Use Site-to-Site VPN to establish IPSec VPN tunnels between Deep Edges.
Note
Note
Make sure that Ethernet interfaces and routers are configured properly.

Procedure

  1. Go to NetworkSite-to-site VPNConnections.
  2. Click Add New Connections.
    The Add/Edit IPsec Connections dialog box appears.
  3. Specify the IPsec connection parameters.
    Enable IPSec connect
    Select the check box to enable the tunnel.
    Name
    Type a name to identify the IPsec tunnel.
    Gateway type
    Select Initiate (active) or Response (passive) role of the IPsec tunnel.
    Gateway
    Specify the gateway IP address.
    Interface name
    Select the interface name from the drop-down list box (eth0, eth1).
    Policy name
    Select the policy name from the drop-down list box, either Default or a specific policy, that applies to the IPsec tunnel.
    Note
    Note
    Configure non-default IPsec policies at NetworkSite-to-site VPNPolicies.
    Authentication type
    Select Pre-shared key or RSA key from the drop-down list box.
    For Pre-shared Key
    Specify the key and confirm it.
    If Pre-shared Key is selected, specify the pre-shared key that Deep Edge uses to authenticate itself to the remote peer or dial-up client. Make sure to define the same value at the remote peer or client. The key must contain at least six printable characters and should be known only by network administrators. For optimum protection against currently known attacks, the key should consist of a minimum of 16 randomly chosen alphanumeric characters.
    For RSA key
    Specify the public key.
    If RSA key is selected, select the name of the server certificate that Deep Edge uses to authenticate to the remote peer.
    VPN ID
    Input the local IP address if the IPsec gateway is behind a NAT device.
    Add Local Networks
    Select the local network, or add a new address object.
    Add Remote Networks
    Select the remote network, or add a new address object.
  4. Click Apply.
  5. Verify the new IPsec connection at NetworkSite-to-site VPNConnections.
