Configuration: ViPNet Network

This chapter explains how to configure your newly created ViPNet network structure. It shows you how to use ViPNet Manager to specify:

• IP addresses for coordinators
• DNS names for network nodes
• the IP addresses server for clients
• IP addresses for clients
• firewall settings
• the maximum number of tunneled connections and IP addresses for each coordinator
• aliases
• a period of validity for keys.

We recommend you make all the necessary settings in ViPNet Manager to avoid having to make additional manual settings on each network node.

This chapter also covers how to change your existing network structure.

While configuring or changing your ViPNet network, ViPNet Manager traces conflict situations that arise from these settings and takes note of any incomplete data. Insufficient data is identified with the icon. Conflicting data is identified with the icon.

Note: If you ever change your ViPNet network, you need to recreate key sets and send those key updates to network nodes affected by the change.
