Today’s network managers often need to incorporate other vendors’ equipment into their
networks, as companies change and grow. To support this challenge, Allied Telesis routers are
designed to inter-operate with a wide range of equipment.
This How To Note details one of the inter-operation solutions from Allied Telesis: creating
virtual private networks between Allied Telesis and SonicWALL routers. It shows you how to
configure a VPN between a local Allied Telesis router and a remote SonicWALL router, step-
by-step. On the Allied Telesis router, it uses the Site-To-Site VPN wizard for the VPN
configuration.
The wizard runs on selected AR400 Allied Telesis routers from the router’s web-based GUI
(graphical user interface). It asks you to enter a few details and from those it configures the
following settings:
zencryption to protect traffic over the VPN
zISAKMP with a pre-shared key to manage the VPN
zthe firewall, to protect the LANs and to allow traffic to use the VPN
zNetwork Address Translation (NAT), so that you can access the Internet from the private
LAN through a single public IP address. This Internet access does not interfere with the
VPN solution
z(in this example) NAT-Traversal because one end of the VPN tunnel is behind a separate
NAT device

Related How To Notes
Allied Telesis offers How To Notes with a wide range of VPN solutions, from quick and
simple solutions for connecting home and remote offices, to advanced multi-feature setups.
Notes also describe how to create a VPN between an Allied Telesis router and equipment
from a number of other vendors.
For a complete list of VPN How To Notes, see the Overview of VPN Solutions in How To Notes
in the How To Library at www.alliedtelesis.com/resources/literature/howto.aspx.
Which products and software version does it apply to?
The VPN wizard is available on the following Allied Telesis routers, running Software Version
2.9.
1 or later:
zAR4 1 5S
zAR440S, AR44 1 S, AR442S
You can use the command line to set up an equivalent configuration on AR700 and other
AR400 Series routers. See "How to use the CLI instead of the GUI" on page 30 for the
necessary commands.
We created this example with a SonicWALL TZ
1 70, running SonicOS Enhanced 2.5. 1 . 1 -65e.
SonicOS Standard does not support NAT-T draft 3, so this solution requires SonicOS
Enhanced.
The screenshots in this Note are from an Internet Explorer 6.0 browser running on
Windows XP.

The network
This example illustrates a NAT-T solution, which you need when one or both of the routers
are behind a NAT device such as some xDSL and cable modems. In this example, an Allied
Te l e s i s A R 4
1 5S router is behind a NAT device. The following diagram shows the LANs and
their interfaces and addresses.
Note: You can still use this example if you have no NAT device between the Allied Telesis
router and the Internet, or if you have a NAT device between the SonicWALL router and the
Internet, with slight alterations. See "Appendix: Using this example if you don’t have a NAT
device in the same position" on page 31 for details.
Initiating the
tunnel from
either end
In this example, you can only initiate the tunnel from the Allied Telesis end, not the
SonicWALL end. If you want to let the SonicWALL initiate the VPN too, you have to
configure your NAT device to allow it. To do this, set up pinholes (allow rules) on the NAT
device to allow through UDP traffic on ports 500 and 4500.

How to configure the Allied Telesis router
Before you
start
1. Install and configure the NAT device.
2. Access the router via its GUI.
3. Customise the router and set up vlan
1 as the LAN interface. The site-to-site VPN wizard
always uses vlan
1 as the local LAN for the VPN connection, so you must make sure an IP
interface is configured on vlan
1 before running the wizard.
4. Create a security officer. If you use the Basic Setup wizard to customise the router, this
creates one security officer, with a username of “secoff”.
5. Set up the WAN interface. This example uses a fixed IP address on the WAN interface—
modify it to use an appropriate interface for your network.
The router setup of steps 2-5 is described in How To Use the Allied Telesis GUI to Customise the
Router and Set Up An Internet Connection, which is available from www.alliedtelesis.com/
resources/literature/howto.aspx.
In this example, the Allied Telesis router has the following settings:
The NAT device has the following settings:
Interface Address Mask

Create the
VPN tunnel
Log in as either the manager or the security officer. If you log in as the manager, the router
changes to secure mode when you finish the VPN wizard and at that stage prompts you to
log in again as the security officer.
The Site-To-Site VPN wizard is one of the options on the Configuration Wizards page. Make
sure your browser’s pop-up blocker is disabled—the wizard needs to open pop-ups. If you
access the Internet through a proxy server, make sure your browser bypasses the proxy for
this address.
The GUI opens at this page the first time you configure your router. After initial configuration
it may open at the System Status page instead. If so, click on the Wizards button in the left-
hand menu to open the Configuration Wizards page.
1. Open the Configuration Wizards page

Page 6 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
Click on the Site-to-Site VPN button.
The wizard starts by displaying a
welcome message.
Click the Next button.
Enter an appropriate VPN connection
name.
Click the Next button. If you have
multiple possible WAN interfaces
configured on the router, the wizard
next lets you select the appropriate
interface. In this example there is only
one WAN interface, so the wizard
selects it automatically and moves
directly to the remote site settings.
2. Start the Site-to-Site VPN wizard
3. Name the VPN connection

Page 7 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
Enter the public IP address of the other
end of the tunnel. In this example, this
is 200.200.200.
1 , which is the IP
address of the SonicWALL WAN
interface.
Note that you can use the Tab key to
move between fields when entering the
address, but should not use the . key
(the period).
Click the Next button.
Enter the SonicWALL router’s LAN
subnet address and mask. In this
example, this is
1 92. 1 68.2.0 and a mask
of 255.255.255.0.
Click the Next button.
4. Enter the remote site’s WAN IP address
5. Enter the remote site’s LAN IP address

Page 8 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
Enter the secret key, which is an
alphanumeric string between 2 and 64
characters long. Both routers must use
the same secret key. On the
SonicWALL router, this is the Site-to-
Site Policy’s preshared key.
Click the Next button.
Check the summary. If necessary, use
the wizard’s Back button to return and
correct any settings you want to
change.
Once you are happy with the settings,
click the Advanced Settings button to
modify Peer ID settings.
6. Enter the shared secret key
7. Check the settings

Page 9 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
Peer IDs enable the routers to identify
each other when they exchange secret
key information. By default, the Peer
IDs are the router IP addresses. This
does not work when one (or both)
routers are behind a separate NAT
device, because the NAT device
changes the IP addresses.
Towards the bottom of the Advanced
Settings page, enter a local ID (to
identify this router) and a remote ID
(to identify the router at the other end
of the link). It does not matter what
text you use as the IDs, so long as each
ID is different.
Then click the OK button.
8. Specify Peer IDs

Page 10 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
Check the summary. It now includes
the Peer ID settings. If necessary,
correct any settings you want to
change.
When all the settings are correct, click
the Apply button.
Security
officer
If you are logged in as the security
officer, the GUI displays a completion
message. Click the Finish button to
finish the Wizard and save the VPN
settings.
9. Check the settings again
10. Finish the wizard

Page 11 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
Manager If you are logged in as manager, the
GUI displays a message to warn you
that you will need to close your
browser and re-login as a security
officer (see below) once you have
finished the wizard.
Click the Finish button to finish the
Wizard and save the VPN settings.
The browser now indicates that you no longer have permission to view the GUI.
The router configuration is now complete. If required, you
can log in to the router again for further configuration or
monitoring. To do this, close your browser, open it again,
and browse to the router’s IP address.
If you used the Basic Setup wizard to configure the LAN
settings, the router will have one security officer, with a
username of “secoff”.
Login as the security officer.

Page 12 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
How to configure the SonicWALL router
To configure the SonicWALL router, perform the steps in the following sections:
1. "Access the Router" on page 12
2. "Customise the router and set up the network" on page 15
3. "Define the LAN subnet of the peer" on page 20
4. "Create the VPN" on page 23
5. "Set the VPN IKE IDs and use Main Mode" on page 27
Access the Router
By default, SonicWALL TZ 1 70 routers start up with a LAN interface IP address of
1 92. 1 68. 1 68. 1 68 and mask of 255.255.255.0.
Resetting to
factory
defaults
If you have difficulty accessing your SonicWALL, you may need to reset it to its factory
defaults. To do this:
1. Give your PC an address in the subnet
1 92. 1 68. 1 68.0 (but not 1 92. 1 68. 1 68. 1 68).
2. Power up the SonicWALL.
3. Press the Reset button—the pinhole button beside the console port—until the “test” light
on the front flashes orange. This puts the router in SafeMode.
4. Connect the PC's NIC to any of the SonicWALL LAN ports and browse to
1 92. 1 68. 1 68. 1 68.
5. Make sure any pop-up blocker is disabled for that address.
6. Click on the button that allows you to boot up with “Current firmware with Factory
Default Settings”
7. Wait for the GUI to re-display the login screen. If it has not done so after about a minute,
refresh your browser to force the GUI to refresh.
8. Log in using the factory defaults of:
username: admin
password: password
Select a standalone PC to configure the router from—a PC that is not connected into any
existing LAN.
Connect a NIC card on the PC to any of the router’s LAN ports.
Give your PC an address in the 1 92. 1 68. 1 68.0 subnet.
1. Connect a PC to the router
2. Set the PC’s IP address

Page 13 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
Browse to
1 92. 1 68. 1 68. 1 68. If you are using a pop-up blocker, disable it for this address. If
you access the Internet through a proxy server, set your browser to bypass the proxy for this
address.
The login dialog box opens.
The defaults are
username: admin
password: password
3. Browse to the router’s management GUI
4. Log on

Page 14 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
The first time you
configure your router,
the GUI opens at the
Configuration Wizard
page.
After initial configuration, when you browse to the SonicWALL it may open at the System >
Status page instead of the Configuration Wizard page.
Click on the Wizards button in the left-hand menu to open the Configuration Wizard page.

Customise the router and set up the network
The following steps use the Setup wizard to begin configuring your router.
The first action in the
Setup wizard is to enter
a suitable password for
access to the GUI.
Click the Next button.
Select your time zone,
and set the router to
automatically adjust for
summer time.
Click the Next button.
1. Change the administrator password
2. Set the time zone

Page 16 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
In this example, the
SonicWALL router has a
permanent fixed IP
address, so select the
Static IP option.
Then click the Next
button.
Enter the WAN
interface’s IP address and
mask. For Gateway,
enter the ISP’s address
(see "The network" on
page 3). For DNS Server
Address, enter the
address of the DNS
server that your router
will access.
Then click the Next
button.
3. Choose the type of WAN address
4. Enter the WAN settings

Page 17 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
Enter the IP address and
mask of the
SonicWALL’s interface
to the LAN.
Then click the Next
button.
In this step, you can set
up the DHCP server on
this router to service
the office LAN you
intend to connect to.
Check that the wizard
has chosen an
appropriate range of
addresses.
Then click the Next
button.
5. Enter the LAN address
6. Set up the DHCP server

Page 18 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
Check the summary. If
necessary, use the Back
button to return and
correct any settings you
want to change.
When all the settings are
correct, click the Apply
button. The wizard
displays a message of
congratulations.
Click the Close button.
7. Check the settings

Page 19 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
If you changed the router’s LAN IP address, you need to change the PC’s address. If you
turned on the router’s DHCP server, set the PC to obtain its address automatically.
Otherwise, give the PC an address in the new subnet. You may need to restart the
SonicWALL router to force it to assign an IP address to the PC.
Browse to the router’s new address and log in. The GUI displays the System > Status page.
8. Log in again

Page 20 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: VPNs with SonicWALL routers
Define the LAN subnet of the peer
Before you can configure the VPN, you need to create an address “object”. The address
object defines the LAN subnet of the VPN peer router—in this example, the Allied Telesis
router. There is no wizard for creating the address object, so the following steps use the
Network pages instead.
In the left-hand menu of the System > Status page, select Network, then Address Objects.
The GUI displays a list of all the existing address objects.
1. Open the Address Objects summary
