• Use the VPN Wizard to configure a VPN tunnel (recommended for most situations):

— See “How to Set Up a Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration” on page 8-6.

— See “How to Set Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Configuration” on page 8-20.

• See “Using Auto Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels” on page 8-36 when the VPN Wizard and

its VPNC defaults (see Table 8-2 on page 8-5) are not appropriate for your special

circumstances, but you want to automate the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) setup.

• See “Using Manual Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels” on page 8-48 when the VPN Wizard

and its VPNC defaults (see Table 8-2 on page 8-5) are not appropriate for your special

circumstances and you must specify each phase of the connection. You manually enter all the

authentication and key parameters. You have more control over the process, however the

process is more complex and there are more opportunities for errors or configuration

mismatches between your DG834G and the corresponding VPN endpoint gateway or client

workstation.
