Step 2. Configure IPsec VPN settings on Router A

(1) Choose the menu VPN > IPSec > IPSec Policy > IPsec Policy List and click Add to load the following page on the VPN router. Configure the basic parameters for the IPsec policy.

·Specify the Mode as LAN-to-LAN.

When one router is behind a NAT, you can use IP Address instead of NAME as the Local/Remote ID Type in the following scenarios:

If router (A) is behind a NAT, enter the public IP address of the other router (B) in the Remote Gateway field.

If the other router (B) is on the public network, enter 0.0.0.0 in the Remote Gateway field.

Otherwise, select NAME as the Local/Remote ID Type.

·Specify the Local/Remote ID as you like. Here we specify the Local ID as 321 and the Remote ID as 123.

Once the router is behind a NAT device, the proposal cannot be specified as ah-md5/sha1/sha256/sha384/sha512, otherwise, the VPN tunnel can’t be established.

Display the Phase-2 Settings for router A.

Step 3. Configure IPsec VPN settings on Router B

Due to a system upgrade, there are some differences in the web UI. However, the configuration process remains similar.
