the management IP address of the local Nortel VPN Router. Or, you can
establish a Web connection to the local Nortel VPN Router and attempt to
configure it.
Sample branch office configuration
This section describes an example of the procedure used to create a branch office
VPN connection between two Nortel VPN Routers. In this example, the local
Nortel VPN Router is at the enterprise headquarters in Boston and the remote
Nortel VPN Router is at a sales office in Cleveland.
When you set up a branch office connection, you must perform the configuration
procedure twice, once for each of the two Nortel VPN Routers that make up the
connection. The branch office settings for the two Nortel VPN Routers mirror
each other. For example, the local address setting that you configure on the Boston
Nortel VPN Router would be considered the remote address setting when you
configure the Cleveland Nortel VPN Router.
Figure 26 on page 134 shows the configuration information and the addresses that
are used in this example. It lists the procedure for setting up a branch office
connection and the management windows that are used during the configuration
process.
Figure 25 on page 129 also shows where the information from the figure is
entered on the management windows.
