Host Name or IP Address

Enter the host name or IP address for the VPN Client Gateway that will service this site. The use of a host name instead of static IP address is recommended when non-address Peer identifiers are used. This allows the the public gateway address to be modified without invalidating Client Site Configurations.

Address Method

Select the method used to address the private network traffic. At this time, the only method available is to use a virtual adapter and a private network address.

Client Address and Netmask

When a remote gateway is configured to support the Configuration Transaction Exchange, it can be configured to assign a valid client address and netmask automatically. If not, uncheck the Obtain Automatically option and enter a valid Client Address and Client Netmask for this site configuration.
