VSR-1200 Hardware Reference Module, Document 2
Note:
The VSRR-1200 is designed to support satellite networks as well as ground-based
networks. Any BANDIT VPN device can support both VPN with SLE (for use over satellite
networks) and VPN without SLE (for ground-based networks), depending on the software
installed in the device. Most VPN devices can also support legacy applications.
The VSR-1200 is a high-end, high-performance router, and functions especially well as a
hub for a large terrestrial (ground-based) or satellite network (or for a combined terrestrial–
satellite network).
In the BANDIT’s IPsec VPN software with SLE, all VPN tunnels use SLE, except in the
following instance:
• In SLE software, in the IP Policy Table, if you select a record, the record’s detail screen
appears. Look at the name for the Description. If the description name begins with the
letter “I” (upper case) or “i” (lower case), the configuration is IPsec VPN without SLE.
(See
Figure 2-10
.) If the Description name begins with any other initial character, the
configuration is IPsec VPN with SLE. (See
Figure 2-7
.)
You configure both types of IPsec the same way, except for this parameter. All other
items needed are configured automatically. (However, you need to supply the
appropriate IP addresses.)
Note:
In BANDIT software release 5.0 and above, the user does not configure FTP/HTTP
ports 20, 21, and 80 for SLE. In addition, Network Address Translation is no longer required
for SLE.
The user can modify the VPN configuration, if desired. We recommend consulting with
your Encore Networks sales representative before modifying an automatically generated
configuration.
Figure 2-6
shows part of the IP Policy Table for the BANDIT (A) in
Figure 2-5
. Note that
record 3 is a catch-all policy for VPN with SLE; because it is a catch-all, it must follow all
other records for VPN with SLE. Note that record 4 is a catch-all for VPN without SLE (and
must follow all other records for VPN without SLE).
Figure 2-7
through
Figure 2-10
show details of the records.
