! The WAN LED either blinks when active or remains ON. ! The VPN LED stays ON when a tunnel is connected. The ANG-1100 is now ready for configuration. Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed instructions. If the Power LED flashes at a twice per second interval, boot diagnostics have failed.
Configuring the ANG-1100 with Configuring the ANG-1100 with To configure the ANG-1100, use the Internet browser on your computer and connect to the server via the Web. During the Web session, you run the Aurorean Web Config utility and configure the system. Figure 10 illustrates the process.
Page 24
! If your computer was supplied a static IP address and Gateway by your service provider, you must now accept the address from a DHCP server and remove the gateway for the ANG-1100 to find and connect with the PC.
To log into Web Config, perform the steps below. Point your Web browser at the default trusted IP address of the ANG-1100. In the browser’s Location field at the top of the window, type: http://192.168.1.1 and click OK. The Login window appears as shown in Figure 11.
Setting Your Password Because the default password is readily available through all ANG-1100 documentation, we strongly recommend that you ensure security by configuring a new password to replace the default password netadmin. If you forget your password after changing it from the factory default, you can return to using netadmin by pressing the Reset button and reinstate all factory default values.
Chapter 3 Configuring the ANG-1100 with Aurorean Web Config Viewing VPN Status The VPN Status window is the first screen to appear after logging in. At this point, you have just begun configuration so the VPN Status window appears empty. Later, after you have configured a VPN connection to an ANG-3000/7000, the window will display information similar to the data shown in Figure 13.
Setting Up the VPN The VPN configuration created on the ANG-1100 completes a link with the ANG-3000/7000 on the remote end of this connection. If your network administrator has already set up the ANG-3000/7000 with appropriate User, Password and Group information, after setting up the VPN you will build the site-to-site tunnel connection and be up and running on the corporate LAN.

Downloading the Latest Firmware After logging in, download the latest firmware image to the ANG-1100’s flash memory (provided the MAC address is set for cable service users - refer to page 36) by accessing the FTP server where it is stored. As new firmware becomes available, you can update it again.
Page 36
After the firmware image is downloaded, the new image is “flashed” or stored on the ANG-1100. This step takes up to 5 minutes and the photo below shows the activity lights seen on the ANG-1100 when the device’s flash memory is being upgraded with the new firmware image.
Page 37
Chapter 3 Configuring the ANG-1100 with Aurorean Web Config After downloading and “flashing” are complete, a status page displays as shown in Figure 18 indicating the process was successful and displays the FTP server IP address and new build filepath.
Setting Up the LAN LAN configuration of the Trusted side of the ANG-1100 involves choosing either to manually set an IP address and subnet for the ANG-1100 or dynamically assign its IP address via your network’s DHCP server. The factory default LAN setting configures the ANG as a DHCP server on the trusted LAN and automatically assign IP addresses to local PCs.
Page 39
If you change the default LAN Setup and reboot the ANG-1100, you must release and renew the IP address for all adaptors bound to TCP/IP on your connected computer(s) in order to reconnect with the ANG-1100 and make future changes.

Appendix A Glossary Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) Tunneling protocol developed by Cisco that can encapsulate a wide variety of protocol packet types inside IP tunnels, creating a virtual point-to-point link over the Internet. For PPTP, GRE is used to encapsulate PPP data packets within an IP packet (IP packet headers contain address information necessary for routing, while PPP packets do not).
(such as servers and the applications running on them) are consistently available and performing well. In terms of Enterasys Networks products, this person physically installs Aurorean Policy Servers and Aurorean Network Gateways, distributes Aurorean Client Software to remote users, and runs RiverMaster software on his/her computer to manage the entire VPN.

Appendix A Glossary Point of Presence (POP) In Internet terms, the physical site that contains an ISP’s network equipment. Remote users dial into the POP, authenticate against the ISP’s customer database, and then gain access to the Internet. ISPs typically have POPs scattered throughout their service area, so that can customers can dial a local phone call and avoid paying long- distance charges when accessing the Internet.
Routers Devices which direct network traffic among LANs or WANs until the data reaches its destination. To do this, routers communicate with one another using dedicated protocols such as IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) to transfer information on network addressing, status, and configuration.
