Preparing the VSU-10000 for Configuration
VSU-10000 User Guide
•
The SuperUser password.
This password authenticates the SuperUser name. The SuperUser password is
case sensitive. If the VPN administrator forgets the SuperUser password, the
VSU may still be reconfigured through the VSU console Quick Setup menu
as long the administrator has access to the VSU console and knows the VSU
console password.
•
Configuration of non-VPN traffic handling mode. This involves selecting one
of three filtering choices according to your organization’s security policy:
Permit all non-VPN traffic - When checked (default), all non VPN traffic is
allowed to pass through the VSU.
Deny all IP non-VPN traffic - When checked, all non-IP traffic is passed
through the VSU. All non-VPN IP traffic is dropped except for the following:
ICMP, IGMP, GGP, EGP, IGP, DGP, EIGRP, and OSPF.
NOTE: This mode should be used when the VSU dedicated to VPN traffic and
is the only device between the private and the public networks.
Deny all non-VPN traffic - When checked, all non-VPN traffic is prevented
from passing through the VSU. This mode blocks non-IP traffic and non-VPN
IP traffic including broadcast traffic (e.g. ARPs), IP-multicast traffic (e.g.
OSPF updates) and other traffic containing routing information.
NOTE: This mode should be used when the VSU is dedicated to VPN traffic
and is in parallel with another device (such as a router or firewall) that will
enforce the network’s non-VPN traffic policy. This mode should not be used
when the VSU is the only path between network devices and a router with
which those devices need to communicate.
•
Setting the unit to run in FIPs-compliant mode or not.
•
Selecting the Ethernet port speed as auto-negotiate, or a fixed speed.
•
The current time and date.
NOTE: Each of these items is preserved over firmware upgrades.
When the VSU-10000 is powered on for the first time, the terminal screen should
display the initial power on bootup screen shown in Figure 3-1.
