Summary of VPN-related Requirements for Native IP Access
The following list summarizes the requirements for configuring a VPN connection:
Obtain from the OnBoard administrator the values used in creating the VPN connection profile on the OnBoard end and use these values to configure the connection profile on the user’s end. Obtain the PPTP password if PPTP is being used. If IPSec is being used, the user may obtain the relevant portion of the OnBoard’s ipsec.conf file and insert it into the ipsec.conf file on the user’s workstation.
Before attempting to access the “Native IP” feature on the OnBoard, the user must start the VPN connection from the user’s computer.
The OnBoard listens for the connection attempt from the IP addresses specified in its connection profiles and grants the access.
Note: The VPN connection must remain active for the duration of the native IP session.
The following table lists the tasks associated with gaining native IP access to a device using VPN and provides links to where the tasks are documented.
