Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS318

Jul 26, 2006 2 Replies

I'm trying to setup a VPN tunnel with a class A subnet (10.4.x.x) on one end and a Class C subnet (192.168.x..x) on the other end with 2 Netgear FVS318 boxes. I tried but was unable to make it work. I also tried to create a VPN tunnel with a Class A subnets on both endpoints but was unsuccessful. I was only able to create a VPN tunnel with two



192.168.x.x end points.

Is it even possible to create a VPN tunnel with a class A subnet on either end or on both ends??? Thanks in advance.



According to the documentation the router supports nat for up to 253 users, so class c is the largest subnet size it supports I guess. Could you not just subnet down the 10 network to a class c with a

255.255.255.0 mask ? simon

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately that was not the solution. I found out the answer after further testing.

A VPN tunnel can be created from a class A subnet (10.4.x.x) to a class C subnet (192.168.x.x) or Class A on both ends. What needs to be done first before a connection can be established was to initiate the connection with a ping request to the other remote private subnet using the local VPN router's diagnostic tool (ping).
