The following table shows the current VPN requirements for connecting customer-side VPN GateWay with SwyxON Tenant

The following IPsec parameters have to be configured

WICHTIG: IKEv1 connections are not supported any more

Existing IKEv1 Offices can not be edited any more and must be reconfigured to IKEv2

 

General

These are the prerequisites for a VPN tunnel:

  • Internet connection with DNS
  • Firewall exceptions for the gateway
    • Port 500 UDP or/and Port 4500 UDP if NAT-T needs to be used
    • ESP packets
    • IPsec packets

Access lists and routes:

Please remind that the access lists need to be configured to suite the customer network infrastructure on the VPN gateway on customer side.

Also do not forget that the customer IT administrator defines a central route to the UC tenant and choose the VPN device as the gateway.
