Preparing the VSU-2000 for Configuration 3-1
Chapter 3 Preparing the VSU-2000 for
Configuration
Preparation
Before the VSU-2000 can be incorporated into a Virtual Private Network (VPN),
it must be configured through the VPNmanager. However, to enable
communication between the VPNmanager and the VSU-2000, you must first
assign an IP address, subnet mask, and default route to the VSU-2000.
This chapter describes how to set up the VSU-2000 addressing and remote
connectivity capabilities in preparation for remote configuration using the
VPNmanager software. This preliminary configuration is performed using a
terminal (or a PC running terminal emulation software) connected to the RS-232
console port.
The following procedure assumes that the VSU-2000 has been physically
installed on the network, according to the instructions provided in Chapter 2
Configuration
Beginning with VPNware 3.1, the following information is configured through
the VSU console Quick Setup:
• The VSU’s IP address and mask.
• The VSU’s secondary IP address and mask (Optional).
• The VSU’s default route.
• The VSU console password. Beginning with VPNware 3.1, if you forget this
password and need console access, it can be changed through the
VPNmanager’s Configuration console. Select the VSU Advanced Action tab,
then the Reset Password dialog box.
