March 2004 Setting up the security gateway for configuration 23
Chapter 3 Setting up the security gateway for
configuration
This chapter describes how to set up the security gateway addressing
and remote connectivity capabilities. This preliminary configuration is
performed using a browser on your workstation connected to the security
gateway’s private port. When the security gateway is initially installed and
connected to the local LAN, it is provisioned with a default IP address for
the DHCP server (serving the private port), allowing access to the device
through a Web browser on a workstation.
The following procedure assumes that the security gateway has been
physically installed on the network, according to the instructions provided
in Chapter 2, Installing SG203 and SG208 Security Gateway.
The security gateway quick setup consists of two basic steps:
1. Establishing connectivity between a workstation or IP device on your
local network with the security gateway’s private port
2. Setting up the security gateway’s public port to reach the Internet
Through the Web interface, you can assign a static IP address for the
public port, a password, server addresses, DHCP settings, and a default
gateway. Once this has been done, the security gateway can be
completely configured and incorporated into your Virtual private Network
either by using the Web interface locally, or using Avaya VPNmanager
from a central location.
