How does one guarantee a remote client the same local IP address every time when connecting to a VPN?

  • 772

I need to configure a VPN for secure remote access to a PACS serving DICOM radiological images. The DICOM standard requires that any clients accessing the PACS must be using a fixed IP address that is pre-registered in PACS. I haven't implemented this solution before and would appreciate any guidance. I believe it should be possible to use RADIUS on the server to authenticate users connecting to the VPN and with it assign each user their own specific local subnet IP address, which would be registered with the PACS. The server runs Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2 and the VPN device is a FortiGate 60C. The What would be the best and/or simplest way to set this up?

  1. Does the FortiGate allow for the VPN client to specify it's own ip address? If so, turn that option on and manually configure each VPN client with the appropriate ip address.

    This is easily achievable with a Windows RRAS server as the VPN server.
