This section of the manual describes how to connect the IntraPort 2/2+ VPN Access Server to your Ethernet network. In summary, the steps for installation are:

1.Make sure the server is powered down and not connected to any power source.

2.Connect the server to the Ethernet network(s).

3.Connect a management console to the server (optional).

4.Plug in the power cable and power up the server.

Placing the Server

The IntraPort 2/2+ VPN Access Servers are meant to be left stand-alone on a desktop or equipment table.

ϖNote: When stacking other equipment on the IntraPort 2/2+, do not exceed 25 pounds of evenly distributed weight on top of the device. Additional weight may bend the case.

Connecting the Server to the Ethernet

Because Ethernet 1 is IPSec-only (meaning it will only handle IPSec packets and will drop all other traffic), you need to pay special attention to your Ethernet connection setup.

Ethernet 1 should only be used if you are planning to set the IntraPort 2/2+ to operate in parallel with your existing firewall. This is the recom- mended setup. In this scenario, Ethernet 1 should be connected to the same Ethernet segment as your Internet gateway router while Ethernet 0 will serve as an IP, IPX and AppleTalk router port for your internal networks.
