How to configure VPN in Windows 2003
This article explains how to configure VPN in windows 2003. Basically there are two types of configuration of VPN in Windows 2003.
- Dynamic Configuration of VPN
- Manual VPN configuration

Dynamic configuration of VPN
Following steps involved in dynamic configuration of VPN.
Define “VPN security policies” for all of your dynamic connections. The “Internet Key Exchange policy” and “data policy” dictate how IKE protects its phase 1 and phase 2 negotiations.
Configure a secure connection. After describing the security policies for a connection, it is necessary to configure the secure connection. For dynamic connections, the secure connection object has got a “dynamic key group” and a “dynamic key connection”. The “dynamic key group” describes the common features of one or more VPN connections, while the “dynamic key connection” illustrates the features of individual data connections between pairs of endpoints. The “dynamic key connection” exists within the dynamic key group.
- Make and apply filter rules that allow data traffic to flow through the connection after completing your VPN configurations. The “VPN pre-IPSec” rules allows all “IKE traffic” on the particular interfaces so that “IKE” can communicate connections. The policy filter rule defines which protocols, addresses, and ports can use the associated new dynamic-key group.
- After finish configuring the packet rules and any other rules, which you need to make able your VPN connection, you have to define an interface to which to apply them.
- Now activate the packet after you define an interface for your packet rules. You have to enable them before you start the connection.
- Start the connection in order to complete this task.

2. Manual VPN configuration
Manual connections define the characteristics of a connection including security protocols and the connection and data endpoints. It is highly recommended that you always allow the VPN interface to make your policy filter rules for you. Do this by choosing the “Generate a policy filter” that exactly matches the data endpoints option on the Manual Connection page.
- Configure the “policy filter rule”. After you configure the attributes of the manual connection, you have to make and apply a policy filter rule which makes data traffic to flow through the connection. The policy filter rule defines which addresses, protocols, and ports can use the associated connection.
Define an interface for the rule after you successfully configure the packet rules and any other rules, which you need to enable your VPN connection. You have to define an interface to which to apply them.
- Now activate the packet rules after you declared an interface for your packet rules. It is necessary that you activate them before you start the connection.
End this task to start connections that are initiated locally
