Network Considerations

Before you start setting up the minimum router and CWI client configurations, network information must be taken into consideration (see Table 12). Note that the specific setup is dependent on the session used from the “About CWI” section.

Table 12 Network Information

Type	Function
Network Security	The default configuration is not secure.
SSL Encryption Configuration	The secure configuration uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. If you use the SSL
	protocol on your network, use the SSL configuration.
IP Security	IP security (IPSec) does not require any special configuration for CWI on the router or client.
Firewall	If you have a firewall in your network, you can use the basic or SSL encryption configuration.
	See Table 13 for a list of firewall ports.
