Client Provisioning and Mode Config

Client Provisioning provides a means to receive configuration
parameters from the VPN gateway. This needs to be supported
by the VPN gateway and enabled for the connection.

There are many different vendor-specific implementations of
Client Provisioning. VPN Tracker supports Client Provisioning
for SonicWALL (DHCP over IPSec) and Cisco.

Mode Config is a similar, but vendor-independent mechanism
to Client Provisioning, which usually supports fewer
configuration parameters. VPN Tracker supports Mode Config
connections to Cisco (Cisco’s client provisioning is an extension
to Mode Config) and Juniper Netscreen devices.

Note

Other vendors using the same implementation of

Mode Config might also be supported, but this has
not been tested yet.

Gateways may provide one or more of the following paramters
using Client Provisioning or Mode Config:
‣ Local Address (virtual IP)
‣ DNS Settings
‣ Remote Networks
