Configuring System Information
To configure basic information that identifies your VPN Concentrator on the network, follow these steps:
The system prompts you to assign a system name to the VPN Concentrator.
Step 1
-- : Assign a system name to this device.
> System Name
Quick -> _
At the cursor, enter a name such as VPN01. This name must uniquely identify this device on your
network.
Step 2 The system prompts you to specify a local DNS (Domain Name System) server, which lets you enter
Internet hostnames (for example, mail01) rather than IP addresses for servers as you configure and
manage the VPN Concentrator. While hostnames are easier to remember, using IP addresses avoids
problems that might arise with the DNS server offline, congested, or otherwise indisposed.
-- : Specify a local DNS server, ...
> DNS Server
Quick -> [ 0.0.0.0 ]
At the cursor, enter the IP address of your local DNS server in dotted decimal notation; for example,
10.10.0.11.
Step 3 The system prompts you to enter the registered Internet domain name in which the VPN Concentrator is
located (sometimes called the domain name suffix or subdomain).
-- : Enter your Internet domain name; ...
> Domain
Quick -> _
At the cursor, enter your domain name; for example, cisco.com.
The system prompts you to specify a default gateway, which is the system to which the VPN
Step 4
Concentrator routes packets that are not explicitly routed. In other words, if the VPN Concentrator has
no IP routing parameters (RIP, OSPF, static routes) that specify where to send packets, it will send them
to this gateway. (And when you first start the VPN Concentrator, it has no IP routing parameters.)
