How to configure the headquarters VPN access concentrator

Before you begin to configure your router, ensure that it is running the appropriate software release, patch and GUI files and has no configuration.

set inst=pref rel=<rel-file> pat=<patch-file> gui=<gui-file>

set conf=none

disable system security

restart reboot

Note: A software QoS extension to this configuration, to prioritise VoIP traffic over the VPNs, is available in "How to prioritise outgoing VoIP traffic from the headquarters router" on page 31.

1.Configure general system and user settings

Name the router

set system name=HQ

Define a security officer.

add user=secoff pass=<your-secoff-password> priv=securityofficer lo=yes telnet=yes

Do not forget your “secoff” password.

Enable security mode so that VPN keys are stored securely, and other security features are enabled.

enable system security

Once security mode is enabled, you need to log in as a security officer to enter most configuration-altering commands.

login secoff

password: <your-secoff-password>

It is important to keep this security officer username and password secure, and to consider proper handover of it in the event of IT staff changes.

Also, we recommend you leave a “manager” privilege user defined because this may provide backup access if the security officer password is lost. Do not leave the manager password at the factory default—change it to a password in keeping with your company's security policy.

set user=manager password=<your-company-policy-password>

When security mode is enabled, router configuration access times out after inactivity to prevent unauthorised access. The default timeout is 60 seconds, but you may temporarily raise it to 600 seconds if desired.

set user securedelay=600
