Green IT trying to setup vpn on a SRXN3205
As the title of the thread suggests. Our Network Engineer was let go a week ago for reasons I won't get into. I'm a senior repair tech that has been thrust into filling his position.
The owner recently bought an SRXN3205 and it was easy to install and setup. We are assigned a static IP from our ISP. I'll call it 20.90.100.60 for simplicity. The gateway is the same except ending in ...1 (obviously) and the netmask is 255.255.255.128. I have set our static IP in the WAN settings of our SRXN3205 and internal internet access is working fine.
The problem is the owner has asked me to set up a VPN via the SRXN3205 so our web and graphic designer can access the servers from home.
I have read the manual tried to follow the SRXN3205 manual on page 6-4 to page 6-11 to setup the VPN but I'm completely at a loss on how to successfully set up this VPN. This is my first hands-on experience with VPNs.
What should I be using for a Remote Identifier and Local Identifier during the VPN Wizard?
We are only using the 'lite' VPN client that came on the CD with the SRXN3205 on the web/graphic designer's laptop. What do I need to do to set this up correctly for the VPN?

- I forgot to add, our internal network IP is 10.0.1.0 with a submask of 255.255.255.0.
- see my site for case study.. fvx case study will work. or fvs336g for VPN client setup
- I appreciate the reply but your site requires a username and password to access the suggested 'case study'. I understand it is to control bandwidth costs but this would be the fifth email and registration I would have to go through today to solve what appears to be a simple configuration problem.
No offence intended but I also am leery about needing to give out my work or personal e-mail address to websites. - I have plenty people email and will never used for any but your decision so good luck
It will let you going in few minutes but keep read thread instead - Well, it is trust you or (possibly) lose my job so...I'm left to trust you. Email sent.
- Give some other side of view
What makes me if I reply to you and you will abuse my email
I get spam more and more... Think that... I trust when they send email to me but I have no idea who you are. :)
2cents.. You will email in min - That is true. Thank you for your reply. This could save my job.
- If you have an issue still you can email me directy :)
- I appreciate the suggestion. I looked over the casestudy120 document but the firmware on the SRXN3205 is so different I am having a hard time trying to follow the guide to setup our VPN.
Also, we do not have a FQDN for the company. Our internal domain is just domain.local
Externally, we just have a statically assigned IP address, so I'm confused as to how to configure the VPN with this information. - Copy the setting fqdn is part of ID.
Harder you look at you will loose it. Fvx538 has same Ike/VPN policy
If you are using VPN client them fvs336g will just fine
Email me directly with screenshot with what you have done so far
