FortiClient-to-FortiGate VPN configuration steps

Configuring dialup client capability for FortiClient dialup clients involves the following general configuration steps:

  1. If you will be using VIP addresses to identify dialup clients, determine which VIP addresses to use. As a precaution, consider using VIP addresses that are not commonly used.
  2. Configure the FortiGate unit to act as a dialup server. See FortiClient-to-FortiGate VPN configuration steps .
  3. If the dialup clients will be configured to obtain VIP addresses through DHCP over IPsec, configure the FortiGate unit to act as a DHCP server or to relay DHCP requests to an external DHCP server.
  4. Configure the dialup clients. See FortiClient-to-FortiGate VPN configuration steps .
When a FortiGate unit has been configured to accept connections from FortiClient dialup-clients, you can optionally arrange to have an IPsec VPN configuration downloaded to FortiClient dialup clients automatically. For more information, see FortiClient-to-FortiGate VPN configuration steps .
