Additionally, the Nokia IP2255 appliances support an encryption accelerator
card to further enhance VPN performance.
Nokia IP2255 is a three-rack unit (3U) appliance that incorporates a
serviceable slide-out tray into the chassis design. Nokia IP2255 appliances are
designed to meet high-end availability requirements and they have port
density for connections to redundant internal, external, DMZ, and
management networks.
As network devices, Nokia IP2255 appliances support a comprehensive suite
of IP-routing functions and protocols, including RIPv1/RIPv2, IGRP, OSPF
and BGP4 for unicast traffic, and DVMRP for multicast traffic. The integrated
router functionality eliminates the need for separate intranet and access
routers in security applications.
Managing the Nokia IP2255 Appliance
You can manage the Nokia IP2255 appliance by using one of the following
interfaces:
„
Nokia Network Voyager— an SSL-secured, Web-based element
management interface to Nokia IP Security Platforms. Network Voyager
is preinstalled on the IP2255 appliance and enabled through the IPSO
operating system. With Network Voyager, you can manage, monitor, and
configure the appliances from any authorized location within the network
by using a standard Web browser.
For information about how to access Network Voyager and the related
reference materials, see
“Using Nokia Network Voyager” on page 53.
„
The Nokia IPSO command-line interface (CLI)— an SSHv2-secured
interface that enables you to easily configure Nokia IP Security Platforms
from the command line. Everything that you can accomplish with
Network Voyager—manage, monitor, and configure the your appliance—
you can also do with the CLI.
For information about how to access the CLI, see “Using the Command-
Line Interface” on page 55.
