Anybus Defender Configuration
Bridge configuration
First, you have to create a bridge interface that bridges the LAN network and the VPN Network.
Go to "Interfaces > Assignments > Interface Assignments" and click to declare the "ovpn1" interface as a system interface.
Then go to "Interfaces > OPT1 (ovpns1)"
and enable the interface :
Finally go to "Bridges" and click
Select both LAN and OPT1 for your Bridge and save.
VPN Server settings update
Go to "VPN > OpenVPN" and Edit your existing VPN Server settings :
- IPv4 Tunnel Network : Clear this field. the Network is defined by the LAN network settings (Here 192.168.200.x)
- Bridge DHCP: Select the option
- Server Bridge DHCP Start & Server Bridge DHCP End: Define a VPN IP range to assign to your VPN Clients.
Be careful that this range MUST be in the Anybus Defender LAN range and MUST not conflict with existing allocated IP addresses on the LAN network.
Now the Ewon device got the IP address "192.168.200.51"
and we can connect it using this IP address from the Anybus Defender LAN network :
