Using VPNmanager

View menu

From the View menu, you can view the configured objects, and you can refresh the screen.

Tools menu

The Tools menu consists of functions used for normal VPN maintenance. These functions include the following.

●Update Devices. To update the selected security gateway configuration, click Update Devices. You select the security gateway to update. This will reconfigure all security gateway parameters for the selected gateway and can take several minutes to complete. This function is the same as the Update Devices button on the far right side of the toolbar on the VPNmanager main screen. See Update Devices on page 47.

●Upgrade Devices Firmware. This function is used to download new firmware to selected devices. See Upgrading a security gateway’s firmware on page 289.

●Import VPN. A secure, inter-company extranet can be created by exporting a VPN configuration to a file that is then imported by other VPNmanager installations. See the Importing and exporting VPN configurations to a device on page 284.

●Export VPN. Export VPN can be used to export the VPN configuration which in turn can be imported into other VPNmanager installations.

●Export RADIUS. This function is used to export VPN information to an existing RADIUS database. This is primarily for backwards compatibility, but also useful if you wish to convert your existing VPN (using local security gateway-based user authentication) into a dynamic VPN for future scalability. It is, however, expected that LDAP will be the preferred method of building dynamic VPNs.

●Policies Manager The Policies Manager displays a list from which specific policy services can be selected. Select a service and click GO to start the Policy Manager for the selected service.

The types of policies that can be configured depend on the firmware version of the security gateway. Only policies that can be configured are displayed.

Table 4 lists the policies that could be configured.
