IP Addresses (for Coordinators)

IP addresses for coordinators set the links between ViPNet network nodes without having to do manual settings on those nodes. Instead of IP addresses (or in addition to them), you can specify DNS names.

If you don't specify IP addresses or DNS names in ViPNet Manager, you need to specify them manually after installing ViPNet software. That means you need to set IP addresses or DNS names for a coordinator on each client, (for which this coordinator is either an IP addresses server or firewall), and then on each coordinator connected with that coordinator.

You can get IP addresses for coordinators from your organization's network administrator.

1. To add an IP address for a coordinator:
   1. Select the coordinator and click the IP addresses tab.
   2. Click the Add button. The IP address window appears:

      

   3. Type an IP address and click OK. The specified IP address automatically appears in the IP addresses list for this coordinator.

      Note: You can add any number of IP addresses for a coordinator. IP addresses must be unique and must be the same as addresses of tunneled connections. If any IP address already exists, ViPNet Manager will ask you to choose another one.

2. To edit a coordinator's IP address:
   1. Click the IP address in the list and click Edit. The IP address window appears.
   2. Change the IP address and click OK.
3. To delete a coordinator's IP address:
   1. Click the IP address in the list and click Remove. A message will appear asking you to confirm that you want to delete this IP address. Click Yes.
