Software Features 21

Client Security

•Tunnel Guard. Feature for checking the security aspects of the remote PC client, that is, installed antivirus software, DLLs, executables and so on.

•WholeSecurity support. Lets you enable a scan of the client PC before the remote user is allowed to log in to the VPN.

•User session auto-logoff.

•Cache and browser history automatically cleared (only for Internet Explorer).

Accounting and Auditing

•Support for logging user session start and stop messages to a syslog or RADIUS accounting server. The messages can include VPN ID, user name, gateway address, session ID, session time and cause of termination.

•Support for logging CLI and Web User Interface operations (for example, login, logout and executed operation) to a syslog or RADIUS accounting server.

Networking

•Supports creating multiple interfaces within a cluster, for example, to separate client traffic and management traffic. (Not supported on the Nortel Application Switch 2424-SSL).

•Support for clustering over multiple subnets.

•Supports assigning two physical network ports to one interface, to create a port failover (high availability) solution where one VPN Gateway is attached to two Nortel Application Switches.

Secure Service Partitioning

The NVG software provides the ability to partition a cluster of VPN Gateways into separate VPNs. This gives service providers (ISPs) the possibility to host multiple VPN end-customers on a shared Remote Access Services (RAS) platform. Requires a license.

•Supports hosting of up to 250 public termination points for end-customer SSL and IPsec VPNs.

•Secure VPN binding. Each VPN is bound to a private IP interface. VLAN tagging can be used when private IP address spaces overlap.
