Assign the Remote Port IP Address
The remote port IP address identifies the HA4000 to the untrusted network,
typically a WAN, campus LAN, or MAN. Changing the remote port IP address
directly affects the HA4000 gateway’s IPSec policies, including the default policies
that ship with the HA4000.
Previously configured policies will not recognize a new remote port IP address until
the HA4000 is rebooted or reloaded. After you finish configuring the HA4000, save
the configuration, and then reboot the unit to activate the new settings, as
described in “Reboot the HA4000” on page 38. Or, if the remote port IP address is
the only parameter that you changed, you can enter the
reload policies
command, as described on page 80.
1. Log on as Network Manager.
2. Enter configuration mode; enter this command:
configure terminal
3. At the
config
> prompt, enter this command:
interface remote
4. At the
config-ifRemote
> prompt, enter this command:
ip address <
ipAddress
> [<
subnet_mask
>]
For parameter descriptions, go to “ip address” on page 74.
Example
This example sets the remote port IP address during initial HA4000 configuration:
admin>
config terminal
config>
interface remote
config-ifRemote>
ip address 192.168.144.125 255.255.255.0
Set the Remote Port Auto-Negotiation and Flow
Control
Auto-negotiation and flow control is configured on a per port basis. If the device
that the HA4000 is connected to on the remote, untrusted network side does not
support auto-negotiation or flow control, disable one or both of these functions on
the HA4000 gateway’s remote port.
This command requires a reboot to take effect. Reboot the HA4000 after you
complete configuring the device; for instructions, go to “Reboot the HA4000” on
page 38.
z
At the
config-ifRemote>
prompt, enter this command:
autoNegotiateFlowControl enable | {disable {enable | disable}}
The first parameter specifies whether the HA4000 negotiates flow control
settings. To have the HA4000 negotiate flow control settings, specify
enable
.
When auto-negotiation is enabled, the second parameter is unnecessary.If you
disable auto-negotiation, however, specify whether to enable flow control. To
have the HA4000 use flow control, specify
enable
; otherwise, specify
disable
.
