Chapter 3 Setting up the security gateway for configuration
This chapter describes how to set up the security gateway addressing and remote connectivity capabilities. This preliminary configuration is performed using a browser on your workstation connected to the security gateway’s private port. When the security gateway is initially installed and connected to the local LAN, it is provisioned with a default IP address for the DHCP server (serving the private port), allowing access to the device through a Web browser on a workstation.
The following procedure assumes that the security gateway has been physically installed on the network, according to the instructions provided in Chapter 2, Installing SG203 and SG208 Security Gateway.
The security gateway quick setup consists of two basic steps:
1.Establishing connectivity between a workstation or IP device on your local network with the security gateway’s private port
2.Setting up the security gateway’s public port to reach the Internet
Through the Web interface, you can assign a static IP address for the public port, a password, server addresses, DHCP settings, and a default gateway. Once this has been done, the security gateway can be completely configured and incorporated into your Virtual private Network either by using the Web interface locally, or using Avaya VPNmanager from a central location.
