Creating new IPsec VPN templates

Instead of creating a new template, you can clone the default template.

To create an IPsec VPN template:

1. Go to Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > IPsec Tunnel Templates.
2. Click Create New from the toolbar. The Create New IPsec Tunnel Template dialog appears.
3. Enter a Name for the template.
4. Click OK. The new template is created.
5. Click on the template name from the tree menu at the left. The IPsec settings for the template appear on screen:

   Setting	Value/Description
   Tunnel Name	Name of the IPsec tunnel.
   Routing	Automatic: Static routes to remote subnet will be created.
   Remote Device	IP Address
   Remote Gateway (IP Address)	This field accepts meta field variables and you will use the remote_site_id meta field variable here, for example, 101.71.$(remote_site_id).1, where the meta field variable value will be substituted at runtime.
   Outgoing Interface	port2
   Local Interface	We need to create and select a normalized interface with per-device mapping as different devices use different local interfaces. In this case, it is IPsecLAN.
   Local Network Address Object Name	Select Interface Local Address, and enter the meta field variable $(branch_local_network), where the meta field variable value will be substituted at runtime.
   Remote Subnet	Enter 200.71.$(remote_site_id).0/255.255.255.0, where the meta field variable value will be substituted at runtime.
   Authentication Method	Pre-shared Key: Alphanumeric key used for device authentication.
   Tunnel Interface Setup	Configure the IP and/or remote IP for the tunnel to use in the IPsec template.
   Advanced Options	Expand to access and set a number of advanced options.

6. Click Apply at the bottom to save the settings. The IPsec template is created and is ready to be assigned to devices.
