Use a Wizard to Configure the Firebox for Mobile VPN with SSL

To use a wizard to configure the Mobile VPN with SSL settings, from Fireware Web UI:Closed
  1. Select VPN > Mobile VPN.
    The Mobile VPN selection page appears.

  1. Click Next.
    The server settings appear.
  2. In the Primary text box, type a public IP address or domain name.
    This is the IP address or domain name that Mobile VPN with SSL clients connect to by default. This can be an external IP address, secondary external IP address, or external VLAN. For a device in drop-in mode, use the IP address assigned to all interfaces.
  3. (Optional) If your Firebox has more than one external address, in the Backup text box, type a different public IP address.
    This is the IP address that the Mobile VPN with SSL client connects to if it is unable to establish a connection with the primary IP address. If you add a secondary IP address, make sure it is an IP address assigned to a Firebox external interface or VLAN. If you want the Mobile VPN with SSL client to use a secondary IP address, you must also select the Auto reconnect after a connection is lost check box in the Authentication settings, as described in the next section.
