Chapter 2 Installing and Powering Up the VPN Concentrator
Beginning Quick Configuration
Beginning Quick Configuration
You are now ready to begin quick configuration; that is, accepting default values when possible and
configuring minimal parameters to make the VPN 3000 Concentrator operational.
Note
You can go through the steps of quick configuration only once, unless you reboot the system with the
Reboot with Factory/Default configuration option. In that case, you can and must go through all the steps
again. See Administration | System Reboot in the
VPN 3000 Concentrator Series User Guide
.
Quick configuration consists of the following steps, which are explained in the remainder of this chapter
and the two chapters that follow:
Step 1
From the console, set the system time, date, and time zone.
Step 2
From the console, configure the VPN Concentrator Ethernet 1 interface to your private network.
At this point you can use a browser to complete Quick Configuration with the VPN Concentrator
Manager (see
Chapter 3, “Using the VPN Concentrator Manager for Quick Configuration”
). While you
can continue with the console instead (see
Chapter 4, “Using the Command-Line Interface for Quick
Configuration”
), we recommend using a browser.
Step 3
Configure the other Ethernet interfaces that are connected to a public network or an additional external
network.
Step 4
Enter system identification information: system name, date, time, DNS, domain name, and default
gateway.
Step 5
Specify tunneling protocols and encryption options.
Step 6
Specify methods for assigning IP addresses to clients as a tunnel is established.
Step 7
Choose and identify the user authentication server: the internal server, RADIUS, NT Domain, SDI, or
Kerberos/Active Directory.
Step 8
If using the internal authentication server, populate the internal user database.
Step 9
If using IPSec tunneling protocol, assign a name and password to the IPSec tunnel group.
Step 10
If using WebVPN tunneling, enable the basic WebVPN proxies for the public interface and configure the
default e-mail servers.
Step 11
If using browser WebVPN, configure the WebVPN home page.
Step 12
Change the admin password for security.
Step 13
Save the configuration file. When you complete this step, quick configuration is done.
