Using Boot Modes; Managing Through A Web Browser - Nortel Contivity 1100 Configuration Manual

50 Chapter 2 Getting started

Using boot modes

The Nortel VPN Router can be booted in one of two system modes: Safe mode or
Normal mode. Each mode has its own software image, configuration files, and
LDAP database.
A system booted in Safe mode is only allowed to accept secured management
tunnel establishment. When the secured management tunnel is established, Telnet,
HTTP, and FTP traffic is allowed to come into the Nortel VPN Router; no other
VPN traffic is allowed through the secured management tunnel of the Nortel VPN
Router.
In Normal mode, the system operates with the normal software and configuration
and transports both VPN traffic and management traffic.
To save your configuration into the Safe Mode boot directory:
