Avaya 3.7 User Manual

The VPNmanager software is designed specifically for securely defining, configuring, 
monitoring, and upgrading VPNs. The VPNmanager software is required to configure and 
modify VPNs. Secure traffic running between VSUs or between VSUs and VPNremote Clients 
does not require an active VPNmanager. After configuring the required VPNs, the VPNmanager 
can be shutdown if desired, or used to monitor security gateway activity. In addition, standard 
MIBs available with the VSUs enable monitoring from standard SNMP management stations.

The VPNmanager comes with a context-sensitive-Help system. Use the Help system for getting 
information about a specific command in the VPNmanager graphical user interface (GUI).

Be sure to read the VPNos Configuration Guide. It contains important information on the proper 
procedure for setting up your VSUs, which is a prerequisite to setting up a Virtual Private 
Network. 

VPNremote Client software installation and usage information is found in the VPNremote Client 
Administrator’s Guide. This software allows the network administrator to pre-configure the 
VPNremote client software for distribution to end users via the web, or on portable storage 
media such as a CD or floppy disk.

With this release of VPNmanager, the administrator’s guide was redesigned to present 
information in the order that you use VPNmanager to configure a secure network.

Note:

Depending on the VPNmanager version, some features described in this guide 
may not apply.
