Preparing for Configuration

To properly prepare for Installation and Configuration of the Bay Networks Extranet Switch, you should have the following items available:

A Management IP Address for the system. You need this address to manage all system services, such as HTTP, FTP, and SNMP.

An IP Address for the LAN port that is available on the system board.

Any number of Public IP Addresses; e.g., one IP address for each Public LAN Interface and one IP address for each T1 WAN interface.

A plan to distribute IP addresses to clients when connections are requested; e.g., via a DHCP server or an internal client address

Ypool (with an address pool you will need a range of IP addresses).

An Authentication database: If you are not using internal authentication via the LDAP database then make sure you have either the external LDAP or the RADIUS server(s) IP Address and password or shared secret.

An external accounting server, such as RADIUS, with its IP

YAddress and shared secret (password).

Client dial-in: Prepare the clients for the type of tunneling protocol they will be using. The PPTP client application is available on the Bay Networks CD for Windows 95, and it comes with Windows NT. Bay

YNetworks also provides the IPsec client on the Bay Networks CD.

A complete network topology of the "environment" in which you are testing the Switch, including the Switch, the default router address, and any other IP addresses that you think might be required.

Quick Start

Click to begin the Quick Start Configuration. This option allows you to configure interfaces, set up PPTP tunnels for up to three users, and establish a connection to the Switch. If you prepare for the configuration (as recommended on page 24), the Quick Start can take as little as 15 minutes to complete.
