Configuring System Information
To configure basic information that identifies your VPN Concentrator on the network, refer to the data
you recorded in
The system name you entered earlier appears in the System Name field. If no system name appears, enter
Step 1
a name (such as VPN01 ) for the VPN Concentrator. This name must uniquely identify this device on your
network.
You previously set the time and date on the VPN Concentrator under
Step 2
you can change them here if you want. The screen shows the current date and time on the device. The
values shown in the New Time fields are the time on the browser PC, but any entries you make apply to
the VPN Concentrator.
In the appropriate fields, make any changes. The fields are, in order: Hour : Minute : Second Month /
Day / Year Time Zone. Click the drop-down menu buttons to select Month and Time Zone. The time
zone selections are offsets relative to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is the basis for Internet time
synchronization. Enter the Year as a four-digit number.
To Enable DST Support, check the box. During DST (Daylight-Saving Time), clocks are set one hour
ahead of standard time. Enabling DST support means that the VPN Concentrator automatically adjusts
the time zone for DST or standard time. If your system is in a time zone that uses DST, you must enable
DST support.
In the DNS Server field, enter the IP address of your local DNS (Domain Name System) server, using
Step 3
dotted decimal notation (for example, 10.10.0.11).
Specifying a DNS server 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 similarly indisposed.
In the Domain field, enter the registered domain in which the VPN Concentrator is located (for example,
Step 4
cisco.com), sometimes called the domain name suffix or subdomain.
In the Default Gateway field, enter the IP address or hostname of the system to which the VPN
Step 5
Concentrator should route packets that are not explicitly routed. In other words, if the VPN Concentrator
has no IP routing parameters (such as RIP, OSPF, or static routes) that specify where to send packets, it
will send them to this gateway. (When you first start the VPN Concentrator, it has no IP routing
configuration parameters.) This address must not be the same as the IP address configured on any VPN
Concentrator interface. To specify no default gateway, leave the field at 0.0.0.0, which means the VPN
Concentrator drops unrouted packets.
You can configure IP routing with regular system configuration. For RIP and interface-specific OSPF,
see the Configuration | Interfaces screens. For global OSPF and static routes, see the Configuration |
System | IP Routing screens. See the VPN 3000 Series Concentrator Reference Volume I: Configuration
for more information.
