The administrator for the branch sales office uses the VPN planning advisor to create dynamic planning work sheets to help them configure VPN on their servers and remote workstations. The VPN planning advisor is an interactive tool that asks specific questions regarding your VPN needs. Based on your answers, the advisor generates a customized planning work sheet for your environment that can be used when you configure your VPN connection. This work sheet can then be used when configuring a VPN on your iSeries™ server. Each of the following planning work sheets are generated with the VPN planning advisor and are used to configure a VPN using the VPN New Connection wizard in iSeries Navigator.
