ANG-3000/7000 Preconfiguration Stored on a Floppy Disk

This appendix describes how to preconfigure the Aurorean Network Gateway (ANG-3000/7000) using a floppy disk to store the configuration. This procedure is similar to configuring the ANG using the RiverMaster application. But this method allows an administrator to centrally configure one or more gateways and conveniently distribute that configuration data on floppy disks to remote sites.

When the floppy disk is inserted in the Remote ANG and the ANG rebooted, configuration information stored in the config.irx file is copied and the ANG is ready to initiate tunnels. To enable the ANG to terminate tunnels. please use the Aurorean Policy Manager as described in Chapter 3 of the Aurorean Installation & Service Guide.

Also, any initiating ANG User configured here must later be added to the User and Group database of the Local ANG. Refer to Chapter 6, “Managing Users and Groups,” of this manual for instructions. ANG configuration with a floppy disk is organized sequentially by the following categories:

HAdding Remote Gateways

HConfiguring ANG IP Address

HConfiguring Tunnel Protocols

HConfiguring Virtual Subnets

HConfiguring Routing Protocols

HConfiguring Routing Interfaces

HConfiguring Remote Connections

HLoading the Floppy Disk

Refer to Chapter 3 in the RiverMaster Administrator’s Guide for more detailed information about the concepts underlying ANG configuration.
