Set up one of the following types of static routes to enable VPN connections:

•

A network route to the private subnet where the target device resides via the 
PPTP-assigned address for the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager.

•

If a virtual network is configured, a network route to the virtual network where the target 
device resides via the PPTP-assigned address for the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager.

•

A host route to each target device, using the real or virtual IP address assigned to the 
target device.

Enter the PPTP address either in a browser or with ssh on the command line to access the 
MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager.

Access the target device and enable native IP access.

See To access a native web application (Web Manager): or To access a native management

The following procedures describe how to access native features on an SP after either a PPTP, 
IPSec or SSH tunnel exists.
