This page looked at configuring the VPN 3002 client and
the VPN 3000 concentrators to support the VPN client features.
The VPN 3002 Hardware Client is a dedicated VPN device that can be
used to connect one or more devices, including workstations, servers, hubs, cash
registers, printers, and IP telephones to a company’s central network. The 3002
unit eliminates the need to install and configure VPN client software on the
local workstation(s), plus it supports workstations running any TCP/IP
supporting OS.
Configuring the VPN 3002 can be accomplished using a menu-driven
version of the CLI or the more user-friendly Client Manager web-based
application. The two systems have virtually identical steps and menu options
making it easier to use both as needed.
The Quick Configuration option is used to provide the basic
parameters required for connecting to a VPN Concentrator, which will “push” the
basic IPSec configuration and security policy features down to the client. A
wide variety of features can be configured on the VPN Concentrator to be pushed
out to either VPN 3002 or VPN software clients. An auto-update feature
facilitates configuration, software, and firmware upgrades.
