Introduction to the IntraPort Enterprise-8

Congratulations on your purchase of the IntraPort Enterprise-8 VPN Access Server. The IntraPort Enterprise-8 supports up to 512 LAN-to-LAN tunnels and up to 40,000 simultaneous remote client connections.

In addition, it offers DES and 3DES encryption using built-in hardware coprocessors.

A Note About Remote Client Connections

In order to create a tunnel to a network over the Internet, remote users must run VPN Client software on a Windows95/98 PC, Windows NT PC, Mac OS, Linux, or Sun Solaris computer which is connected to the Internet via PPP or Ethernet.

The IntraPort VPN Clients are applications which set up the remote access VPN tunnels to the IntraPort Enterprise-8 VPN Access Server and make sure that appropriate data gets sent.

The clients work in conjunction with your communications software. Connections can be made to the Internet via PPP software or over a local intranet via a workstation’s LAN adapter. Together, these components provide cost-effective on-demand connections to your corporate network.
