Gateway to Gateway VPN Configuration
(Also called a box-to-box configuration)
The purpose of a Gateway to Gateway VPN tunnel is to create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) network between LAN with no interaction necessary to the PCs on either side. No VPN client software is required on any of the PCs on either side of the LAN.
This type of VPN is often used for remote office connections to a main office.
The recommended procedure to quickly set up a VPN tunnel between the DG834 and the FVS318v3 is to use the VPN Wizard from each device’s web browser configuration window.

Overview
Before you start, you will need some basic network information.
IP LAN and WAN addresses on both sides.
The network pre-shared key that you will use to authenticate the VPN endpoints to each other. In the following example, netgear123 is used for the key.
Once you have this information, all you need to do is login to each router and enter the correct information into the appropriate fields of the VPN Wizard screens.
