7. Set up VPN Group Configurations.

This is where tunneling profiles for a group of one or more IntraPort 2/2+ users are defined.

Use configure VPN Group Name to create a VPN Group section and set the following keywords in the section you just created:

BindTo-Specifies which interface on the device will act as the local end point for the tunnels defined by this configuration.

MaxConnections-Used to limit the number of client connections for this VPN Group configuration.

StartIPAddress-Specifies the first IP address to be assigned to cli-

ent sessions under this configuration. This address will be incremented by one for each new client session, until the Max- Connections value is reached. Since the MaxConnections value is 30 for this VPN Group, then the StartIPAddress must be the first in a block of at least 30 unused IP addresses.

For this very basic setup, it is recommended that these addresses be on the internal TCP/IP network (i.e., on the same network as Ethernet 0 or a subinterface thereof). Also, they cannot conflict with those used for any other VPN Groups.

ϖNote: For large numbers of users (i.e., over 50), it’s recommended that the block of addresses be specified as a Local IP Net because address administration is easier. Using a Start IP Address is recommended for smaller numbers of users because the routing setup is simpler. See the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide for more information on the difference between the StartIPAddress and the LocalIPNet.

LocalIPXNet-Specifies the first IPX address assigned to an incom- ing Client tunnel session. The LocalIPXNet also works with the MaxConnections value, which means you must have at least 30 consecutive unused IPX addresses available. The IPX network number entered here must not be the same network number as any other IPX network on your network and you must choose a network number which will not overlap as Cli- ent sessions are established. In this example, the first client to connect will be assigned the IPX network CAFEB00. The next client which connects concurrently will be assigned the IPX network CAFEB01, and so on.

IPNet-Specifies a range of IP addresses which will be reachable by clients using this configuration. THIS IS A VERY IMPOR- TANT SETTING. If you enter the internal network (in the dual
