Configuring the system identity
Each Nortel VPN Router is uniquely identified by the system's address and
domain name system (DNS) name. The DNS name can be used instead of the IP
address to identify the Nortel VPN Router and launch its management interface
through a web browser.
The System Identity window allows you to optionally change your Nortel VPN
RouterManagement IP address, and provide the DNS Host Name and Domain
Name. Additionally, you can assign up to three DNS addresses to resolve IP
address name resolution requests. You can also reset the Nortel VPN Router
Management IP address values using the serial interface.
To configure the System Identity:
LAN interfaces
WAN interfaces
802.1q VLAN subinterfaces
MTU and TCP MSS
Circuitless IP
Asynchronous data over TCP
NTP
Safe mode configuration
Proxy ARP
