Setting up a Two-Armed Configuration 55

Specify the port you want to use for management traffic. This port will be assigned to an interface for management purposes only (Interface 1).

3Specify a host IP address on the management interface for the current VPN Gateway.

Enter IP address for this machine (on management

interface): <IP address>

This IP address must be unique on the network and be within the same network address range as the Management IP address (see Step 9). The management interface host IP address will be assigned to Interface 1.

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 for the host IP address on the management interface 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.

5Enter yes and press ENTER to continue with creating a two-armed configuration.

Setup a two armed configuration (yes/no) [no]: yes

6

Specify a new port number for the traffic interface.

Enter port number for the traffic interface [1-4]: 2

The traffic interface port number will automatically be assigned to Interface 2.

7Specify a host IP address and network mask on the traffic interface for the current VPN Gateway.

Enter IP address for this machine (on traffic

interface): <IP address>

Enter network mask [255.255.255.0]: <press ENTER to

accepts>

In a two-armed configuration, the traffic interface host IP address will be assigned to Interface 2.
