P-793H v2 Support Notes

Most of the cases, static IP addresses are used for VPN tunneling endpoints.

But for SOHO users, generally, it is a dynamic case. In this case, this IP will

not be available to be predefined in the VPN box. There are some tips when

configure Prestige in any dynamic case.



Prestige static WAN IP v.s. peer side dynamic IP

We need to note:

(1) In VPN settings of Prestige, please specify the IP address of Secure

Gateway as 0.0.0.0

(2) The VPN connection can ONLY be initiated from dynamic side to static side

in order to update its dynamic IP to the static side.

(3) In peer side, are you using Win2K built-in IPSec? In this case, W2K won't

capture the dynamic IP address automatically for you. You have to obtain your

dynamic IP address and then go back to IPSec configuration to setup your

current IP address.

Prestige dynamic WAN IP v.s. peer side static IP

We need to note:

0.0.0.0. Prestige will automatically bind it's current WAN IP address to IPSec.

(2) IPSec tunnel in this case, can ONLY be initiated from Prestige.

(3) In peer side, are you using SonicWALL, NetScreen? SonicWALL requires

you to enter an ID (in FQDN format) to identify Prestige.
