Avaya 3.7 User Manual

The New Object>Device function is used to create security gateways and VPN Service Units 
(VSU) in a VPN environment. The security gateway acts as the end-points of VPN tunnels. 

Note:

Beginning with VPNmanager 3.4, this configuration guide uses the term “security 
gateway” to refer to both the security gateway and the VSU. The VPNmanager 
application uses the term “Device” to refer to both of these components.

In order to configure a security gateway, the security gateway must have an IP address and can 
be reached over the network. When you select New Object for the device, a setup wizard is 
launched that allows you to configure the following security gateway functions:

●

Name for the security gateway.

●

IP address that is used to identify the security gateway to the VPNmanager console.

●

SNMP community string. VPNmanager uses the SNMP protocol to monitor the security 
gateways. See 

.

●

Whether the security gateway dynamically builds a routing table using RIP updates. See 

●

Static routes, if more than one router exists on a network to which the security gateway 
forwards traffic.

Before you create and configure the security gateway, make sure that you understand how the 
features work. Review the information in this chapter and in 

1. From the VPNmanager Console main window menu, select New Object>Device. The 

Device Setup Wizard dialog is displayed. 

2. In the Public IP Configuration section, enter the following information.

●

The name of the new device.

●

The IP address of the new device. Select one of the following:

●

Unknown, if the address is not known. The General tab can be used to configure this 
address at a later time.

●

IP Address, to enter the primary IP address of the new security gateway. Optional, 
add a secondary address if VPNmanager is located on the public network. If 
VPNmanager is located on the private network the secondary address is required.
