els also enable 
access to network resources across the Internet. In this case, use gatew\
ays on each end of 
the tunnel to form the VPN tunnel endpoints. See Set Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN 
Configuration on page  101 for information about how to set up this...

can allow a VPN endpoint with a dynamic IP address to initiate or respon\
d to a tunnel 
request. Otherwise, the side using a dynamic IP address has to always be\
 the initiator.
