Avaya SG5, SG5X, & SG200 Security Gateway Hardware Installation Guide
Plug-and-play installation
The security gateway can be placed anywhere in a 10/100BASE-T LAN
to provide VPN functionality. Native support for IP ensures that the
security gateway interoperates transparently with the broadest range of
intranet and other network applications.
Affording fast and easy installation into your new or existing local area
network, the security gateway functions as a DHCP server on its private
port, supporting VPNs and remote access users. This greatly minimizes
the necessary configuration of your workstations and IP devices. The
security gateway’s web-based user interface features a quick setup
wizard designed to capture essential configuration information for easy
initial setup. Provisions are also made to access the web-based interface
remotely over the Internet if desired.
Where central management of your VPN is required, the optional Avaya
VPNmanager network management application (available separately)
steps network managers through the setup process and allows them to
configure a VPN in minutes. The VPNmanager also supports extensive
facilities for VPN monitoring and troubleshooting, and for establishing
multi-company extranets.
