2. Connect the OnSite VPN Router to the network
Depending whether you connect the OnSite VPN Router to a host directly or via a hub or switch either
straight-through wired or cross-over cables must be used (see
figure 11
).
Figure 11. Connecting the OnSite VPN Router to the network
You can check the connection with the ping command to another host on the local LAN.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#ping <IP Address of the host>
Respectively from the host:
ping 172.16.1.99
Note
To ping outside your local LAN, you will need to configure the
default gateway.
3. Load configuration
Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the CD-ROM that came with the OnSite device,
one of which may be similar enough to your application that you can use it to speed up configuring the OnSite
router. Simply download the configuration note that matches your application to your PC. Adapt the configu-
ration as described in the configuration note to your network (remember to modify the IP address) and copy
the modified configuration to a TFTP server. The OnSite VPN Router can now load its configuration from
this server.
In this example we assume the TFTP server on the host with the IP address 172.16.1.11 and the configuration
named
IPL.cfg
in the root directory of the TFTP server.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#copy tftp://172.16.1.11/IPL.cfg startup-config
