7.4.4Activating a gateway

Three points are important for activating a gateway:

–Activation of the local gateway itself. Only an active gateway can be used by local and remote users.

–Setting up a backward link from a partner gateway to the local gateway. A connection between two gateways requires such a backward link.

–Allowing a partner gateway access. Only if a partner gateway is granted access explicitly can users of the partner system access the local resources.
