authorized for that user. The user’s subsequent requests for network services are decrypted by the
SSL VPN Concentrator and relayed to the appropriate network servers on the corporate network.
Routing mode has the advantage of unloading SSL traffic from your firewall. However, your
network may not be as well protected since the firewall can not inspect this traffic.
In later steps, you will use the following settings when configuring for routing operation.
•
Assign Ethernet Port 1 a public IP address.
•
Assign Ethernet Port 2 an IP address on your local network.
•
Enable Routing Mode.
Initial Connection to the SSL VPN Concentrator
In its factory default state, the SSL VPN Concentrator Ethernet Port 1 IP address is
192.168.1.1
and the Ethernet Port 2 IP address is
10.0.0.1
. Unless these default IP
addresses are compatible with your network, you must configure and connect a computer directly
to Ethernet Port 1 for initial configuration including reassignment of the Ethernet Port IP
addresses. This procedure is described in the following steps:
1.
Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter. If this PC is already part of your network, record its
TCP/IP configuration settings so that you can restore them later.
Figure 2-1
Note:
The SSL VPN Concentrator does not perform Network Address Translation
(NAT). Also, the SSL VPN Concentrator only enforces access policies on SSL
VPN traffic, not on other TCP/IP protocols. Therefore, the SSL VPN
Concentrator should always be used in conjunction with a network firewall.

Configure your PC with a static IP address of
192.168.1.10
and
255.255.255.0
as the
subnet mask.
3.
Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to Ethernet Port 1 on the front of the SSL VPN
Concentrator.
4.
Connect the power cord to the SSL312, turn on the concentrator and verify the following:
•
The PWR (power) light goes on immediately.
•
The TEST light goes off after about one minute, indicating that the system has initialized.
•
One of the Ethernet lights is lit: either the 10 Mbps or the 100 Mbps LED should light
showing that a connectivity link as been established
Accessing the Management Interface
Using the PC with the static IP address configured, you can log into the SSL VPN Concentrator
web management interface. The initial administrative setup of the concentrator must be performed
using a supported browser listed in
“Web Browser Requirements” on page 1-2
. The machine used
for management is referred to as the “Management Station”.
To log into the management interface:
1.
Connect to the SSL312 by opening your browser and entering
(for the
Ethernet Port 1 IP) in the address field. Be sure to type
https
, not
http
..
If you are connected to Ethernet Port 2 IP, the default address is
