Dynamic IPSEC VPN Server

Dynamic Server

Alternative remote VPN; can be used by phones with remote VPN capabilities, remote desktop, etc..

The main use of dynamic vpn server is to create a Spoke and Hub Type 1 tunnel that allow users to remotely access their network and devices through static/dynamic collaboration.

The main host site must have a Static IP address (Hub) and the rest of the sites that you want to access remotely (Spokes) can use Dynamic IP address. To change/know what is your current IP type, click "here:<link to Interfaces KB>

Limitations:

1) Requires 3rd party VPN only.

2) IKEv1 available so far.

3) Is not available with VMPLS active.

After clicking IPsec, you will then see the Dynamic VPN server tab.

Note: If you are trying to set Dynamic VPN server, make sure that the site/sites does not belong to any existing VMPLs group.

This feature tab will not show up on the dashboard if the site belongs to a VMPLs tier.

IPSEC Keys

This is where you will create the remote ID and Pre-Shared Key for the devices.

Ex: If the phone is asking for a username and password for you to be able to access it remotely, this is the right tab to check.

Note: Always include this to your troubleshooting steps if there's an Error doing remote access to the devices. Always check the username and the password.
