For the active establishment of a connection from one LANCOM VPN device to another VPN remote by using VPN Pathfinder technology, activate the option in the VPN name-list entry that corresponds to the remote site.
- LANconfig: VPN / General / Connection list
- WEBconfig: LCOS menu tree / Setup / VPN / VPN remote sites
- SSL-IPsec (Pathfinder)
With this option you activate VPN Pathfinder technology when actively
establishing a connection to this remote site.
Possible values:
- On, off
- Off
Note: Note that when the VPN Pathfinder option is activated, the VPN connection can only be established when the remote site also supports this technology, and when the remote site is set up to receive passive VPN connections that use VPN Pathfinder.
Activate the option in the general VPN settings to enable passive connection establishment to a LANCOM VPN device from another VPN remote that works with VPN Pathfinder technology (LANCOM VPN device or LANCOM Advanced VPN client).
- LANconfig: VPN / General
- WEBconfig: LCOS menu tree / Setup / VPN
- Accept SSL-IPsec (VPN Pathfinder)
With this option your system accepts passive attempts to connect when
the remote site supports VPN Pathfinder technology.
Possible values:
- On, off
- Off
Note: The LANCOM Advanced VPN Client supports automatic fallback to VPN Pathfinder. With this setting, the VPN client initially attempts to establish a connection without using the additional SSL encapsulation. If the connection cannot be made, the device then tries to connect with the additional SSL encapsulation.
