Defining a network object that contains IP addresses assigned to mobile peers

The network assigned to clients must not already be known to the firewall. It must not be:

  • A directly connected network,
  • A network known through routing,
  • A network involved in the configuration of another IPsec tunnel.

In Configuration > Objects > Network:

  1. Click on Add.
  2. Select Network.
  3. Assign a Name to this object (IKEv2_EAP_CERT_Clients_Network in the example).
  4. Enter the Network IP address field in the form of a network/mask.
    This network must contain at least as many IP addresses as the number of users likely to connect simultaneously via an IPsec VPN tunnel.
    Examples:
    192.168.9.0/24 or 192.168.9.0/255.255.255.0 : 254 addresses, so 254 simultaneously in Phase 2.
    192.168.9.0/23 or 192.168.9.0/255.255.254.0 : 510 addresses, so 510 simultaneously in Phase 2.
  5. Click on Create.
