Connectivity

Made Easy

1.4.1

VLAN-enabled Networks

When incorporating the InnGate in a VLAN-enabled network, the LAN
interface must connect to an 802.1Q-enabled trunk port on the switch.

This trunk port should receive all tagged VLAN traffic from downstream clients
that are to be managed by the InnGate. The InnGate will then be able to
apply location specific policy settings based on the VLAN information for each
client.

In addition, the InnGate must be configured to recognize the VLAN setup and

this is covered in Section 1.3.8.

1.5

Testing the Configuration

The InnGate is now configured and ready to accept client connections on the
LAN interface. Follow the steps below to connect a client on the downstream

to the Internet via the InnGate.

1.

Connect a PC/Laptop on the downstream. One way to do this is to

connect directly to the LAN interface (you must use a cross-cable for a
direct client to InnGate connection) which may be useful for quick
demonstrations.

2.

Startup the Internet browser on the connected computer.

3.

Attempt to access the URL of a valid website with the browser. Up to

this point, you have basically simulated a typical user connecting to
your downstream LAN to connect to the Internet through the InnGate.

4.

If the configuration is done correctly, you will be able to access the
website and see the configured login page as shown in Figure 1-37.
