Chapter 2 Installing and Powering Up the VPN Concentrator
Beginning Quick Configuration
Using the Console
You must use the console for the first part of quick configuration—setting the system time and date, and
configuring the private Ethernet interface, as described in the following steps. Then you can use the
HTML-based VPN Concentrator Manager from a browser to complete quick configuration. Refer to the
data you recorded in
Table 2-2
.
Step 1
You started the terminal emulator window on the console in the
“Powering Up” section on page 2-11
; if
not, start it now and press
Enter
on the console keyboard until you see the login prompt. (You may see
a password prompt and other messages as you press
Enter
. Ignore them and stop at the login prompt.)
Login: _
Step 2
At the cursor, enter the default login name:
admin
. At the password prompt, enter the default password:
admin
.
Login:

Password:

Step 3
The system displays the opening message and prompts you to set the time on the VPN Concentrator. The
correct time is very important, so that logging and accounting entries are accurate, and so that the system
can create a valid security certificate. The time in brackets is the current device time.
