After clicking OK, CorePlus reconfiguration will take place and, after a short delay, the Web
Interface will try and connect again to the security gateway.
If no reconnection is detected by CorePlus within 30 seconds (this length of time is a setting that can
be changed) then CorePlus will revert back to the original configuration. This is to ensure that the
new configuration does not accidentally lock out the administrator. After reconfiguration and
successful reconnection, a success message is displayed indicating successful reconfiguration.
Reconfiguration is a process that the CorePlus administrator may initiate often. Normally,
reconfiguration takes a brief amount of time and causes only a slight delay in traffic throughput.
Active user connections through the Clavister Security Gateway should rarely be lost.
Tip: How frequently to commit changes
It is up to the administrator to decide how many changes to make before activating a
new configuration. Sometimes, activating configuration changes in small batches can
be appropriate in order to check that a small set of changes work as planned. It is,
however, not advisable to leave changes uncommited for long periods of time, such as
overnight, since any system outage will result in these edits being lost.
Automatic Logout
If there is no activity through the Web Interface for a period of time (the default is 15 minutes),
CorePlus will automatically log the user out. If they log back in through the same web browser
session then they will return to the point they were at before the logout occurred and no saved (but
not yet activated) changes are lost.
Setting Up Internet Access
Next, we shall look at how to set up public Internet access. The setup wizard described in the
previous chapter, provides the following four options:
A. Static - manual configuration.
B. DHCP - automatic configuration.
C. PPPoE setup
D. PPTP setup
The individual manual steps to configure these connection alternatives with the Web Interface are
discussed next.
