Setup will guide you through the initial configuration of the iSD.

2Specify the port to be used for network connectivity.

Enter port number for the management interface [1-4]: 1

This port will automatically be assigned to Interface 1. As you are currently configuring a one-armed configuration, this interface will be used for both management traffic (coming from the private intranet) and client traffic (coming from the public Internet).

If you have configured port 1 as the management interface port for existing VPN Gateways, it is recommended (for consistency) that you configure port 1 for the NVG you are joining as well.

3 Enter the VPN Gateway ’s host IP address.

Enter IP address for this machine (on management

interface): <IP address>

This IP address should be within the same network address range as the cluster’s Management IP address.

4 Enter network mask and VLAN tag ID.

Enter network mask [255.255.255.0]: <Press ENTER if

correct>

Enter VLAN tag id (or zero for no VLAN) [0]: <VLAN tag

id or ENTER>

Specify the desired network mask or accept the suggested value by pressing ENTER. If a connected router or switch attaches VLAN tag IDs to incoming packets, specify the VLAN tag ID used.

5Press ENTER to continue with creating a one-armed configuration.
