SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
Not only does Route Based VPN make configuring and maintaining the VPN policy easier, a
major advantage of the Route Based VPN feature is that it provides flexibility on how traffic is
routed. With this feature, users can now define multiple paths for overlapping networks over a
clear or redundant VPN.
Using Route Based VPN
Route Based VPN configuration is a two step process. The first step involves creating a Tunnel
Interface. The crypto suites used to secure the traffic between two end-points are defined in the
Tunnel Interface. The second step involves creating a static or dynamic route using Tunnel
Interface.
The Tunnel Interface is created when a Policy of type “Tunnel Interface” is added for the remote
gateway. The Tunnel Interface must be bound to a physical interface and the IP address of that
physical interface is used as the source address of the tunneled packet.
Adding a Tunnel Interface
The following procedures explain how to add a Tunnel Interface:
Step 1 Navigate to VPN>Settings>VPN Policies. Click the Add button. This will open the VPN Policy
Configuration dialog box.
Step 2 On the General tab, select the policy type as “Tunnel Interface.”
