Nortel Networks NORTEL 3050 - Manual (Page 4)

Agent Host Configuration
Important: “Agent Host” and “Authentication Agent” are synonymous.
“Agent Host” is a term used with the RSA Authentication Manager 6.x
servers and below. RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 uses the term
“Authentication Agent”.
Important: All “Authentication Agent” types for 7.1 should be set to
“Standard Agent”.
To facilitate communication between the Nortel VPN Gateway and the RSA Authentication Manager /
RSA SecurID Appliance, an Agent Host record must be added to the RSA Authentication Manager
database and the RADIUS server database if using RADIUS. The Agent Host record identifies the Nortel
VPN Gateway within its database and contains information about communication and encryption.
To create the Agent Host record, you will need the following information.
• Hostname
•
IP Addresses for all network interfaces
When adding the Agent Host Record, you should configure the Nortel VPN Gateway as Communication
Server. This setting is used by the RSA Authentication Manager to determine how communication with
the Nortel VPN Gateway will occur.
To create the RADIUS client record, you will need the following information.
• Hostname
•
IP Addresses for all network interfaces
• RADIUS
Secret
Note: Hostnames within the RSA Authentication Manager / RSA SecurID
Appliance must resolve to valid IP addresses on the local network.
Please refer to the appropriate RSA Security documentation for additional information about Creating,
Modifying and Managing Agent Host records.
