About this book Avaya SG5, SG5X, and SG200 is the new name for Avaya VSU5, VSU5X, and VSU 500 Security Gateways. Our documentation reflects these new names as of June, 2003. This guide describes the Avaya SG5, the SG5X, and the SG200 Security Gateways and how to install and preconfigure these devices.
Avaya SG5, SG5X, & SG200 Security Gateway Hardware Installation Guide Documentation The security gateway documentation includes both the Hardware Installation Guide and the Security Gateway Configuration Guide for VPNos. You can down load these guides from http://support.avaya.com. Navigate to Product Documentation, VPN and Security.
Like other platforms in the Avaya VPN family, the security gateway adds encryption, authentication, and key management to public network data links to ensure privacy and integrity of corporate data, and to enable the efficient and secure operation of VPNs.
Avaya SG5, SG5X, & SG200 Security Gateway Hardware Installation Guide Figure 1 SG200 security gateway Security The VSU provides data stream privacy by employing cryptographic algorithms and keys powerful enough for the most sensitive business communications. It supports DES and 3DES encryption, as well as the IKE key management standards.
Provisions are also made to access the web-based interface remotely over the Internet if desired. Where central management of your VPN is required, the optional Avaya VPNmanager network management application (available separately) steps network managers through the setup process and allows them to configure a VPN in minutes.

Chapter 3 Setting up the security gateway for configuration This chapter describes how to set up the security gateway addressing and remote connectivity capabilities in preparation for remote configuration using the VPNmanager software. This preliminary configuration is performed using a browser on your workstation connected to the security gateway’s Private Port.
Avaya SG5, SG5X, & SG200 Security Gateway Hardware Installation Guide Service provider provisioning Your Connection Type Before you begin, you will need to determine if your existing installation uses static IP addresses, dynamic addressing (DHCP), or PPPoE from your service provider. Typically, DSL connections use PPPoE and cable modems use DHCP.
Avaya SG5, SG5X, & SG200 Security Gateway Hardware Installation Guide Connecting to the private port of the security gateway From the workstation’s control panel, select your TCP/IP network component for your Ethernet controller. In the IP Address window select “enable the setting” to “Obtain an IP address automatically” .
