Configuring the VPN Concentrator means setting all the parameters that govern its use and functionality as a VPN device.
Cisco supplies default parameters that cover typical installations and uses; once you supply minimal parameters in Quick Configuration, the system is operational. To modify the system to meet your needs and to provide an appropriate level of system security, you should configure the system in detail.
Configuration
Step 1 In the Concentrator Manager table of contents, click Configuration. The Configuration screen opens.
Figure 2-1 Configuration Screen
The Configuration section of the Manager lets you configure all VPN Concentrator features and functions. For each section of the Manager, see the applicable chapter in this manual.
Interfaces: Parameters specific to the Ethernet interfaces: public, private, and external. Power supply and voltage sensor alarms.
System: Parameters for system-wide functions: server access, address assignment, tunneling protocols, IP routing, built-in management servers, system events, and system identification.
User Management: Attributes for groups and users that determine their access to and use of the VPN.
Policy Management: Policies that control data traffic through the VPN via filters, rules, and IPSec Security Associations; network lists; access times; and NAT.
