Avaya SG5, SG5X, & SG200 Security Gateway Hardware Installation Guide

Plug-and-play installation

The security gateway can be placed anywhere in a 10/100BASE-T LAN to provide VPN functionality. Native support for IP ensures that the security gateway interoperates transparently with the broadest range of intranet and other network applications.

Affording fast and easy installation into your new or existing local area network, the security gateway functions as a DHCP server on its private port, supporting VPNs and remote access users. This greatly minimizes the necessary configuration of your workstations and IP devices. The security gateway’s web-based user interface features a quick setup wizard designed to capture essential configuration information for easy initial setup. Provisions are also made to access the web-based interface remotely over the Internet if desired.

Where central management of your VPN is required, the optional Avaya VPNmanager network management application (available separately) steps network managers through the setup process and allows them to configure a VPN in minutes. The VPNmanager also supports extensive facilities for VPN monitoring and troubleshooting, and for establishing multi-company extranets.
