Chapter 3: Accessing a Virtual Console Server via the Web Manager 27
Field Name
Remote (Right) Side - and - Local (Left) Side
Definition
Enter the required address or text for each of the four fields for both Remote Side and Local Side: ID: This is the hostname that a local system and a remote system use for IPSec negotiation and authentication. It can be a fully qualified domain name preceded by @. For example, hostname@xyz.comIP Address: The IP address of the host. NextHop: The router through which the virtual console server (on the left side) or the remote host (on the right side) sends packets to the host on the other side. SubNet: The netmask of the subnetwork where the host resides. Use CIDR notation. The IP number followed by a slash and the number of ‘one’ bits in the binary notation of the netmask. For example, 192.168.0.0/24 indicates an IP address where the first 24 bits are used as the network address. This is the same as 255.255.255.0.
RSA Key (If RSA Key is selected)
For IPSec(VPN) authentication, you need to generate a public key for the virtual console server and find out the key used on the remote gateway. Copy and paste for copying the RSA key from another source is supported.
