The public interface can obtain an IP address in one of three ways: using DHCP, PPPoE, or by static
addressing. You configure one of these methods; depending on the method you choose, complete
Step 2, or Steps 3 and 4, or Steps 5–8.
Step 1
Assign a System Name, also known as a hostname. This is optional unless you use DHCP to obtain an
IP address and your ISP requires a hostname.
Step 2
To have the DHCP server assign the public interface IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway,
accept the default value, Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
Step 3
To have Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) establish the connection between the VPN 3002
and the central-site VPN Concentrator, select Use PPPoE to connect to a public network.
Step 4
For a PPPoE connection, enter the PPPoE username and password. Verify the password by reentering it.
The maximum number of characters for either username or password is 64.
Step 5
To assign a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway, select Specify an IP address.
Step 6
To specify an IP address, in the IP Address field, enter the IP address for this interface, using dotted
decimal notation (for example, 192.168.12.34). Be sure no other device is using this address on the
network.
Step 7
If you specify an IP address, in the Subnet Mask field, enter the subnet mask for this interface, using
dotted decimal notation (for example, 255.255.255.0). The Manager automatically supplies a standard
subnet mask appropriate for the IP address you just entered. For example, an IP address of 192.168.12.34
is a Class C address, and the standard subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can accept this entry or change
it.
