IPSec Engine Status - The IPSec Engine Status section shows the current state of the VSU-1200’s two packet processor engines (PPE). If either PPE fails, a FAILED status is displayed indicating which PPE failed. Both PPEs must be functional for the VSU-1200 to operate correcting. The PPEs and Ethernet cards are enclosed in a tamper-evident case and can only be serviced by an authorized technician. Contact your customer service representative for instructions on getting the VSU-1200 repaired.

Switching

To individually switch the active public or private ports, select which active ports to switch from and which passive ports to switch to, then click the Switch Ports button. Note that the active public and private ports can only be switched to passive ports of the same type. A public port cannot be switched to a private port or vice versa.

Importing and exporting VPN configurations to a device

A secure, inter-company extranet can be created by exporting a VPN configuration to a file that is then imported by other VPNmanager installations. Select Import VPN when you receive your exported VPN file and have it copied to a local directory. You will need the password from the exporting administrator.

Export VPN

Creating an extranet is a cooperative effort between system administrators running independent copies of VPNmanager and involves the same steps as creating any other VPN: create the VSUs, then the Groups and Clients, and finally the VPN.

The names chosen for VPN components must be synchronized within each corporation’s VPNmanager. This requires close coordination between the system administrators during the VPN component creation process and can be achieved by performing the following procedure:

The administrators at each corporation agree that all VPN components will be created by one of the administrators (the “exporting” administrator) and that the exporting administrator will create and deliver an export VPN configuration file to the other administrators (the “importing” administrators).

The exporting administrator then creates security gateways, groups, users, and VPNs required, with the exception of the security gateways under management control of importing administrators.

The VPN name must be unique to both the exporting and importing administrators’ VPNmanager databases.
