[Openswan Users] Roadwarrior configuration examples

[Jim Blake]

I'm looking at the configuration for roadwarriors in the OpenSWAN wiki:
The roadwarrior side ipec.conf has:

"conn road
    left=%defaultroute             # Picks up our dynamic IP
    leftid=@road.example.com       # Local information
    leftrsasigkey=0sAQPIPN9uI...   #
    right=192.0.2.10               # Remote information
    rightsubnet=10.0.0.0/24        #
    rightid=@xy.example.com        #
    rightrsasigkey=0sAQOnwiBPt...  #
    auto=add                       # authorizes but doesn't start this
                                   # connection at startup"

and the gateway side has:

"conn road
    left=192.0.2.2                 # Gateway's information
    leftid=@xy.example.com         #
    leftsubnet=176.16.0.0/24       #
    leftrsasigkey=0sAQOnwiBPt...   #
    rightnexthop=%defaultroute     # correct in many situations
    right=%any                     # Wildcard: we don't know the laptop's IP
    rightid=@road.example.com      #
    rightrsasigkey=0sAQPIPN9uI...  #
    auto=add                       # authorizes but doesn't start this
                                   # connection at startup"


The roadwarrior side says

"right=192.0.2.10  # Remote information"

which I assume to be the gateway address (it can't be the roadwarriors
address, that is declared as "right=%any" because we get it by DHCP and
can't know it in advance), but the gateway side says

"left=192.0.2.2  # Gateway's information"

which the comment says is the gateway. If my understanding is correct,
shouldn't they be the same address?

I thought they both represented the gateway end of the tunnel, so should
be the same addresses...am I wrong, and if so, how does this work, or if
I'm right, is this a typo?

Apologies for the low-grade questions, but I've got limited access to the
servers, and I'm trying to research and confirm my actions *before* I do
anything on live systems (A prepared sysop? Did hell just freeze over?)

Thanks

Jim
