This is a newb question sorry but I'm on day three of this. I need to test my PPTP VPN

OK. I went through the steps to configure and set up a PPTP VPN on the BIGIP-LTM. Bosses want results! How do I go about testing if it works or not. Sorry if this is vague. I'll get any answers you need directly if you need extra information. THanks

  • Can you ping across it or use ncat or telnet if ping isn't permitted? Don't forget to ensure the source interface/address used is an appropriate one that's allowed across the VPN.

      Yes. I'm sorry you lost me on the gre part :( I'll check into it though! In the LSN pool list where it says MEMBER LIST and it says this: Specifies the set of translation IP addresses available in the pool. This is a collection of IP prefixes with their prefix lengths. All public-side addresses come from the addresses in this group of subnets. This is where I want to put the address that the server will hand out to the client yes?

  • I have used this doc but compared to the settings in the F5 it is sadly lacking: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/cgn-implementations-11-5-0/6.html?sr=36966790
