Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration
Guide
This chapter provides a step-by-step outline of the minimum required
parameters which must be configured into the device for proper opera-
tion. Detailed information on the meaning of the server’s parameters is
provided in the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide
and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management
Reference Guide. You should use this list as a starting point to look up
more specific information in the other documents.
There are a number of settings which are optional, in the sense that they
are not required for all installations. These settings are not covered in
this chapter.
v Note: This Basic Configuration Guide does not include information
on setting up packet filters. See the CompatiView Management
Software Reference Guide regarding IP, IPX and AppleTalk
packet filters for more information. Refer to the VPN Client Refer-
ence Guide for information on the installation and operation of the
VPN Client software
Setup Options
The IntraPort 2/2+ can be set up in two different ways. The recom-
mended setup is to use both Ethernet ports so that it operates in parallel
with your existing firewall or proxy server and serves as the IPSec
component of your security system. In this setup, Ethernet 0 serves as
an IP, IPX and AppleTalk router port, while Ethernet 1 receives and
sends only IPSec packets. The other option is to set up the server behind
your Internet access router/firewall using Ethernet 0 only. This guide
includes basic instructions for both setups.
