For an example of the commands used to create a Nortel SNA configuration, see “Configuration example” on page 779.

5Perform the initial setup on the Nortel SNAS 4050 (see “Initial setup” on page 52). Nortel recommends running the quick setup wizard during initial setup, in order to create and configure basic settings for a fully functional portal.

6Enable SSH and SRS Admin to allow communication with the SREM (see “Configuring administrative settings using the CLI” on page 483).

7Generate and activate the SSH key for communication between the Nortel SNAS 4050 and the network access devices (see “Managing SSH keys using the CLI” on page 84 or “Managing SSH keys using the SREM” on page 102).

8Specify the Software Requirement Set (SRS) rule for the default tunnelguard group (see “Configuring groups using the CLI” on page 198 or “Configuring groups using the SREM” on page 208).

9Add the network access devices and export the SSH key (see “Adding a network access device using the CLI” on page 75 or “Adding a network access device using the SREM” on page 91).

10Specify the VLAN mappings (see “Mapping the VLANs using the CLI” on page 82 or “Mapping the VLANs using the SREM” on page 96).

11Test NSNA connectivity by using the /maint/chkcfg command in the CLI (see “Performing maintenance using the CLI” on page 726) or checking the
