Valid tunnel address

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 29 Dec 2005

Q:
I am setting up the VPN Client to a site component of Bordermanager 3.8 SP3. Should the "Tunnel address" be a valid address in my network?

A:
No, actually it should be an address in a subnet that does NOT exist anywhere in your network, as if it were an additional physical segment. For instance, you can use 192.168.123.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
