This section of the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager applies functions that are interface-specific, rather than system-wide.
You configure two network interfaces for the VPN 3002 to operate as a VPN device: the Private interface and the Public interface. If you used Quick Configuration as described in the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Getting Started manual, the system supplied many default parameters for the interfaces. Here you can configure them explicitly.
The VPN 3002 includes some IP routing functions: static routes, and DHCP. You configure static routes, the default gateway, and DHCP in the IP Routing section; see the Configuration | System | IP Routing screens.
This section lets you configure the Private and Public interfaces.
Configuring an Ethernet interface includes supplying an IP address and subnet mask, and setting speed and transmission mode.
 |
Note Interface settings take effect as soon as you apply them. If the system is in active use, changes may affect tunnel traffic. |
The table shows all installed interfaces and their status.
To configure a module, either click the appropriate link in the status table; or use the mouse pointer to select the module on the back-panel image, and click anywhere in the highlighted area.
The VPN3002 interface installed in the system. To configure an interface, click the appropriate link.
To configure Ethernet interface parameters, click the appropriate highlighted link in the table or click in a highlighted module on the back-panel image. See Configuration | Interfaces | Private/Public.
The operational status of this interface
PWR green = Configured, enabled, and operational; ready to pass data traffic.SYS flashing amber = Configured but disabled or disconnected.Testing = In test mode; no regular data traffic can pass.Dormant = (Red) Configured and enabled but waiting for an external action, such as an incoming connection.Not Present = (Red) Missing hardware components.Lower Layer Down = (Red) Not operational because a lower-layer interface is down.Unknown = (Red) Not configured or not able to determine status.Not Configured = Present but not configured.Waiting for DHCP = Waiting for DHCP to assign an IP address.The IP address configured on this interface.
The subnet mask configured on this interface.
This screen lets you configure parameters for the Private Interface. It displays the current parameters, if any.
 |
Caution If you modify any parameters of the Private interface that you are currently using to connect to the VPN 3002, you will break the connection, and you will have to restart the Manager from the login screen. |
To make the interface functional and online, check Enabled. If not enabled, the interface is offline; this state lets you retain or change its configuration parameters while it is offline.
If the interface is configured but disabled (offline), the appropriate Ethernet Link Status LED blinks green on the VPN 3002 front panel.
Enter the IP address for this interface, using dotted decimal notation (e.g., 192.168.12.34). Note that 0.0.0.0 is not allowed. Be sure no other device is using this address on the network.
Enter the subnet mask for this interface, using dotted decimal notation (e.g., 255.255.255.0). The Manager automatically supplies a standard subnet mask appropriate for the IP address you just entered. For example, the IP address 192.168.12.34 is a Class C address, and the standard subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can accept this entry or change it. Note that 0.0.0.0 is not allowed.
This is the unique hardware MAC (Medium Access Control) address for this interface, displayed in 6-byte hexadecimal notation. You cannot change this address.
Click the drop-down menu button and select the interface speed:
Click the drop-down menu button and select the interface transmission mode:
To apply your settings to the system and include them in the active configuration, click Apply. The Manager returns to the Configuration | Interfaces screen.
To save the active configuration and make it the boot configuration, click the Save Needed icon at the top of the Manager window.
To discard your settings, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the Configuration | Interfaces screen.
This screen lets you configure general interface parameters for the Public interface.
To make the interface functional and online, check Enabled. If not enabled, the interface is offline; this state lets you retain or change its configuration parameters while it is offline.
Check this box if you want to obtain the IP address and subnet mask for this interface via DHCP. If you check this box, you don't make entries in the IP address and subnet mask parameters that follow.
