Installation Preparation Checklist
Before you install the VPN device, complete the following tasks:
___Map out your current network topology, and determine IP
addresses and default gateways. Having the IP address scheme
already decided helps you configure the unit.
Refer to the Appendix, "Network Infrastructure Checklists,"
for checklists to complete on your network’s infrastructure.
The checklists can help you gather the network information
you need to complete the VPN device installation.
The VPN devices can be integrated into your existing
network in a variety of configurations. However, when these
devices are added to an existing network, 80 percent of
network administrators use one of the following
configurations:
•
One-Armed Router Configuration
•
In-Line Router Configuration
•
In-Parallel Configuration
For more complete information on these configurations, see
the
Network Layout Reference Guide.
___Before you perform the initial hardware setup, you must
have the following information and terminal emulation program
available:
•
Serial communication port number on your computer to
which the console cable is connected and the IP address of
the device
•
IP and subnet mask addresses for the two Ethernet
interfaces
•
Default gateway IP address for the device
•
Terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal to
communicate with a VPN device when the device is in a
factory-default state
___If the VPN device is behind your firewall, provide UDP 2233,
for IPSec, or protocol 99, for access to the device from the
Internet and, if you use certificate authentication, provide UDP
10027 for the X.509 certificate authority through your firewall.
For information on how to configure your firewall, please
contact the manufacturer.
