Creating an extranet of Avaya VPN devices is a cooperative effort between system administrators running independent copies of VPNmanager and involves the same steps as creating any other VPN: create the device, then the groups and users, and finally the VPN.

The names chosen for VPN components must be unique and synchronized within each corporation’s VPNmanager. This requires close coordination between the system administrators during the VPN component creation process.
