15. VIP
VIP (Virtual IP) takes advantage of the Lantronix ManageLinx technology that solves the
The VDN technology enables you to create dedicated TCP/IP connections between any two devices, using easily deployed hardware appliances. There is no client software to install. No changes are required to network software or applications at either end of the connection. ManageLinx is a secure and totally transparent remote access solution.
The VDN hardware consists of a publicly accessible Device Services Manager (DSM) and individual Device Services Controller (DSC) appliances in multiple locations. Together, these two components enable you to set up and manage individual Virtual IP (VIP) addresses and routes.
The XPort Pro, with VIP enabled, takes the place of a DSC and provides direct access to your equipment.
Tunneling with VIP Access
The XPort Pro supports both Accept and Connect Mode tunneling through VIPs. Configuring an XPort Pro to use VIP Access involves:
Obtaining a ManageLinx XML bootstrap file
Importing the ManageLinx XML bootstrap file
Enabling VIP access
Configuring your tunnels to use the VIPs
Once the XPort Pro is configured and enabled to use VIPs, it will immediately attempt to establish a conduit with the ManageLinx DSM. Once the conduit is up, tunneling via VIP Access is ready to go.
Obtaining a bootstrap file
The ManageLinx XML bootstrap file is an XML file that contains the information required to contact and authenticate to a DSM. This file must be generated and sent to you by the DSM administrator. See the ManageLinx documentation for more details.
