The VPN 3000 Concentrator and the VPN 3002 Hardware Client
support both a specialized command-line interface (CLI) and a web-based
interface (Concentrator or Client Manager). You can do exactly the same tasks
with either interface. The choice ultimately boils down to personal preference
but, in general, the Manager web-based interface might be easier to learn and
navigate if you’re familiar with the Windows interface and browsers. The Help
feature on the Concentrator Manager is much better than the CLI.
To manage the device with something other than the console cable,
the CLI must be used to configure at least the private interface to be part of a
network accessible by one or more hosts with either a web browser or Telnet
capabilities.
Quick
Configuration
The Quick Configuration Wizard that appears at initial
startup allows configuring the minimal parameters needed to make the VPN
Concentrator functional. While optional, this wizard and a console connection
provide a relatively quick and easy way to add enough configuration to allow
access from a network PC. Quick Configuration can be performed entirely from the
CLI or switched to the Concentrator Manager any time after the first two steps.
The Quick Configuration options, as shown in the following output, appear only
once and can only be used once, unless the device is rebooted with the Reboot
with Factory/Default option.
