Configuring Layer 3 Management over IPsec

In this example, the central IPsec gateway acts as the SonicPoint WLAN controller; see SonicPoint Layer 3 Management over IPsec Configuration. The SonicPoint is deployed under the VPN local LAN subnet of the remote IPsec gateway. SonicPoint clients receive a DHCP client lease for the SonicPoint from the DHCP scope on the central gateway. The DHCP over VPN feature must be configured on the remote IPsec gateway.
