Configuring Community VPN Settings

Satellite members in a star VPN can be configured to communicate with each other through the center gateway. The default setting is no communication between satellites.

When you use the Disable NAT feature, the VPN connections use the original IP address, even if Hide NAT is configured for the gateway.

To configure VPN settings for the community:

1. Go to Home > Communities.

2. Click the community name.

   The Edit page opens.

3. Click VPN Settings.

4. From VPN Type, select Star or Full Mesh.

5. For a star VPN, configure the Center Gateway.

   Use the Add Gateway wizard to assign a center gateway.

   Note - It is not supported to configure Quantum Spark Appliances with Gaia Embedded OS as a Center Gateway in a Star VPN community.

6. In Satellite Routing, configure communication:

   • No communication between satellites (default)

   • Route to other satellites through center

   • Route to other satellites and internet through center - Supported only for externally managed centers.

7. To make sure that VPN tunnels between gateways in the community are always open, click Permanent VPN.

8. To disable Hide NAT for connections between the gateways in this community, click Disable NAT.
