Branch office quick start

Network administrators and service providers can use the branch office quick start
for provisioning of IP-based VPN services on a large scale. It provides VPN
services using Contivity 1010, 1050, and 1100 devices as branch office VPN
switches and other Contivity VPN switches as central office switches.
In addition to connectivity, the central office switch must be able to accept newly
created secure connections from the Contivity 1010, 1050, and 1100. Therefore,
the BOQS must be used with the knowledge and approval of a network
administrator. It can only be initiated after IP addressing has been planned and the
central office switch has been configured. Then you can send the provisioning
parameters to the remote branch office locations.
The Contivity 1010, 1050, or 1100 must be connected to a public network and
have access to the Internet before local users can use BOQS. The unique Contivity
default configuration allows easy deployment of Contivity 1010, 1050, and 1100
in DHCP configurations (where a DHCP server is used on the public network).
However, if you use static IP addressing or PPPoE on the public side, the
Contivity 1010, 1050, and 1100 must be configured manually before local users
can use BOQS.
