I'm a newbie to the NS products, and would like to have help from someone.
We have a NS5 at our office and I'm trying to get into the office LAN from Windows2000 native VPN client at home, which has an ASDL connection, via L2TP/IPSec, not using
Netscreen-Remote.
First, I found out the PDF on Netscreen support page,
which mentions how to get into the office's LAN only using
L2TP, without IPSec, and I succeeded. However, when I captured the packet going through, "clear-text" payload could be seen, because that was only L2TP without encryption.
Second, I also found out the PDF,
which describes how to set up IPSec using windows2000
native VPN client only, without Netscreen Remote, with
Netscreen5. I followed the steps described and succeeded
to get into the office LAN from outside.
The question is that the second attempt I succeeded
is really what is called "L2TP/IPSec" or not. At my first
attempt, I made a pure L2TP connection and thought that
I should encrypt that to make L2TP/IPSec, but the
PDF file (second one) gives me the totally different
procedure, creating IPSec Local Policy on Windows2000,
assigning it, etc.., so I'm not sure that is really
a L2TP/IPSec.
If anyone could tell me the fact, it would be really
appreciated.
Thank you.
