Activating filter rules

The wizard automatically creates the packet rules that this connection requires to work properly. However, activate them on both systems before you can start the virtual private network (VPN) connection.

IP addresses used in this scenario are meant for example purposes only. They do not reflect an IP addressing scheme and should not be used in any actual configuration. You should use your own IP addresses when completing these tasks.

From iSeries™ Navigator, expand System A > Network > IP Policies.
Right-click Packet Rules and select Activate Rules.
On the Activate Packet Rules page, select activate only the VPN generated rules and select ETHLINE as the interface on which you would like to activate these filter rules. Click OK.

Before remote users can configure their Windows^® XP workstations, the administrator gives them the following information so they can set up their side of the connection. For each of your remote users, give them the following information:

Name of Pre-shared key: mycokey
IP address of System A: 192.168.1.2
User name and password for the connection

These were created when the administrator added the user name and passwords to a validation list during the configuration of Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) terminator profile.
