This procedure describes how to configure a Firebox with the Phase 1 and Phase 2 settings that match the default settings on a SonicWALL device.įor example, the IP address settings you collect could look like this:Įxternal interface IP address: 203.0.113.2Įxternal interface IP address: 198.51.100.2 You must also decide which Phase 1 and Phase 2 settings to use for the VPN. Collect IP Address and Tunnel Settingsīefore you can configure a branch office VPN, you must collect the public IP addresses of each device, and the IP addresses of the private networks you want to connect. For the VPN tunnel to build successfully, you must specify the same Phase 1 and 2 settings on your Firebox and SonicWALL devices.įor the strongest security, we recommend that you change the default settings on the Firebox and SonicWALL devices to specify an AES variant. WatchGuard and SonicWALL devices have different default settings for the Phase 1 IKE exchange mode and Phase 2 encryption. To determine whether those settings are compatible with your SonicWALL device, see the documentation for your SonicWALL device. In Fireware v12.0 and higher, the default BOVPN security settings are different.

VPN Configuration Summaryįor reference purposes, here is a summary of the VPN configuration defaults for the SonicWALL Network Security Appliance, with emphasis on any settings that do not match the default VPN configuration settings in Fireware v11.12.4. If you need more information or technical support about configuring a non-WatchGuard product, see the documentation and support resources for that product. WatchGuard provides interoperability instructions to help our customers configure WatchGuard products to work with products created by other organizations. If you want to know more about a particular setting, use these resources: This topic does not give detailed information on what the different BOVPN settings mean, or the effects those settings can have on the tunnel that is built.

Before you create a BOVPN tunnel, you must collect the IP addresses from each endpoint and decide which common tunnel settings to use. This topic tells you how to define a manual BOVPN tunnel between a Firebox and a SonicWALL Security Appliance (SonicOS Enhanced 6.2.4.0-14n). Set up a VPN from a Firebox to a SonicWALL DeviceĪ branch office virtual private network (BOVPN) tunnel is a secure way for networks, or for a host and a network, to exchange data across the Internet.
