Configuring a Basic VPN
Use the Basic VPN Setup page to create a VPN. Entering information into this page
creates a VPN using a Pre-shared Key (PSK) and default values as proposed by
the VPN Consortium (VPNC).
If you need to change the default values, use the Advanced VPN Setup page.
For more information, see Configuring Advanced VPN Parameters, page 111.
To open this page: In the navigation tree, choose VPN > IPsec > Basic VPN
Setup.
STEP 1 Choose the type of peer that the VPN tunnel will connect:
• Gateway—Connects the Cisco RV180W to a gateway, such as another
Cisco RV180W at another site.
• VPN Client—Connects the Cisco RV180W to remote clients. The remote
clients must run VPN client software.
STEP 2 In the Connection Name and Remote IP Type section, enter the following
information:
• New Connection Name—Enter a name to identify this connection. The
connection name is used for management.
• Pre-Shared Key—Enter an alpha-numeric key to be used when setting up a
connection. Include 8 to 49 characters. The double-quote character is not
allowed. Ensure that the VPN client or remote gateway is configured with this
key.
STEP 3 In the
Endpoint Information
section, enter the following information:
• Remote Gateway Type—If the peer is a gateway, choose a method for
identifying the remote router. You can use either an IP address or a FQDN.
You must configure the same type for the remote gateway and the local
gateway.
• Remote WANs IP Address / FQDN—Enter one of the following options:
- For a gateway-to-gateway connection: If known, enter the remote
router’s IP address or its domain name (for example,
MyServer.MyDomain.com). If you do not have that information, keep the
default setting, remote.com.
