Interface Configuration

ETEPs running software version 1.6 and later include support for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the management port.

IPv4 Addressing

The ETEP requires an IPv4 address for proper operation, even when it is deployed in an IPv6 network. Enter the IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway that is configured on the ETEP’s management port.

IPv4 management port addressing

 

 

 

Parameter

 

Description

IP Address and Subnet

Enter the IPv4 address and subnet mask that has been assigned to

Mask

 

the ETEP management port, in dotted decimal notation.

Default Gateway

Specifies how to route traffic between the ETEP management port and

 

 

the management station and/or EncrypTight ETKMS.

 

 

When the management port is on a different subnet than the

 

 

management station or ETKMS, specify the IP address of the router’s

 

 

local port that is on the same subnet as the ETEP management port.

 

 

In Figure 104, the default gateway is 192.168.10.1 and the

 

 

management port IP address is 192.168.10.10.

 

 

If the other devices are on the same subnet as the management port,

 

 

you do not need to enter a default gateway.

NAT IP Address

If your network requires the use of allocated IP addresses when

 

 

communicating over a public network, enter the Network Address

 

 

Translation (NAT) IP address for ETEMS to use when communicating

 

 

with the ETEP. If you use a NAT address, you must still configure the

 

 

management port IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

 

 

The NAT IP address is used only by ETEMS. It is not pushed to the

 

 

ETEP, therefore it does not appear when comparing the ETEMS and

 

 

appliance configurations.
