Configuring VPN tunnels

6

When connecting to another site using a VPN, the traffic is encrypted so if anyone intercepts the
traffic, they cannot see what it is unless they can break the encryption. The traffic is encrypted from
your computer through the network to the VPN. At that point the traffic is decrypted.

Use the VPN screen to add and remove VPN tunnels.

To configure an existing VPN tunnel, select it

from the list in the VPN Tunnels field. The selected tunnel’s configuration displays in a VPN Tunnel
Config
field.

To configure a VPN tunnel on the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point:

1. Select Network Configuration -> WAN -> VPN from the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access

Point menu tree.

2. Use the VPN Tunnels field to add or delete a tunnel to the list of available tunnels, list tunnel

network address information and display key exchange information for each tunnel.

Add

Click Add to add a VPN tunnel to the list. To configure a specific
tunnel, select it from the list and use the parameters within the
VPN Tunnel Config field to set its properties.

Del

Click Del to delete a highlighted VPN tunnel. There is no
confirmation before deleting the tunnel.

Tunnel Name

The Tunnel Name column lists the name of each VPN tunnel on
the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point.

Remote Subnet

The Remote Subnet column lists the remote subnet for each
tunnel. The remote subnet is the subnet the remote network uses
for connection.
