Configuring Routing Profiles for Instant AP VPN

Aruba Central can terminate a single VPNVirtual Private Network. VPN enables secure access to a corporate network when located remotely. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security, and management policies of the private network. This is done by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryption, or a combination of the two. connection on Aruba Mobility Controller. The routing profile defines the corporate subnetsSubnet is the logical division of an IP network. which need to be tunneled through IPsecInternet Protocol security. IPsec is a protocol suite for secure IP communications that authenticates and encrypts each IP packet in a communication session..

You can configure routing profiles to specify a policy based on routing into the VPN tunnel.
