Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide

This chapter provides a step-by-step outline of the minimum required parameters which must be configured into the device for proper opera- tion. Detailed information on the meaning of the server’s parameters is provided in the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide. You should use this list as a starting point to look up more specific information in the other documents.

There are a number of settings which are optional, in the sense that they are not required for all installations. These settings are not covered in this chapter.

ϖNote: This Basic Configuration Guide does not include information on setting up packet filters. See the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide regarding IP, IPX and AppleTalk packet filters for more information. Refer to the VPN Client Refer- ence Guide for information on the installation and operation of the VPN Client software

Setup Options

The IntraPort 2/2+ can be set up in two different ways. The recom- mended setup is to use both Ethernet ports so that it operates in parallel with your existing firewall or proxy server and serves as the IPSec component of your security system. In this setup, Ethernet 0 serves as an IP, IPX and AppleTalk router port, while Ethernet 1 receives and sends only IPSec packets. The other option is to set up the server behind your Internet access router/firewall using Ethernet 0 only. This guide includes basic instructions for both setups.
