The Switch
Chapter 1
Introducing the Contivity Extranet Switch
The Nortel Networks Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 Series provides scalable,
secure, manageable extranet access for up to 100 simultaneous users across the
Public Data Network (PDN). The Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 Series consists
of the 1500, 1510, 1520, and 1530 models.
The Switch includes the most popular tunneling protocols, IP Security (IPsec),
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), Layer 2 Forwarding Tunneling
Protocol (L2TP), and Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F). IPsec uses digital certificates,
password-based keys, and tokens for authentication; PPTP, L2TP, and L2F use
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) or Password
Authentication Protocol (PAP) for authentication. The PPTP implementation for
the Switch supports MS-CHAP aut henti cati on with 5 6- to 12 8-bit key encr ypti on.

The Switch provides more security than traditional remote access schemes due to
the combination of authorization, authentication, privacy, and access control on a
per user basis. Additionally, the IPsec protocol and related Internet Security
Association & Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) and the Oakley key
establishment protocol support further enhance the security offering.
1-2
For authentication and access control, the Switch supports an internal or external
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server and external Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers.
Introducing the Contivity Extranet Switch
To restrict access, the Switch uses packet filtering based on Protocol ID,
Direction, Source and Destin ation IP addresses , Source an d Destinatio n Ports,
and TCP connection establishment. Additionally, Nortel Networks provides
you with a set of predefined filters that you can use either directly or tailor to
your network needs.
The unique quali ty of s ervic e (QoS) me chanis ms inc lude cal l admi ssion
and packet forwar ding priori ties, a nd support for Reso urce ReSer Vation
Protocol (RSVP).
The HTML and Java Web management interface allows different Switch
administrators to have different access rights, including configuration, st atus, and
monitoring. The Switch offers RADIUS accounting support and extensive
logging, including events, system, configuration, and security logs.

Getting Started with the Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 Series
Serial Interface Cable (Optional)
Nortel Networks recommends that you use the IP Address Configuration Utility
diskette for easy initial IP address configuration (refer to pa ge 4-3 for details).
However, Nortel Networks ships a serial cable with the Switch. Optionally, you
can use the Serial Interfac e to provide t he Switch with a Manag ement IP Address ,
subnet mask, and default gateway address (refer to page 4-2 for details). Later,
you can use the serial interface configuration menu to perform management
functions that you might need if problems were to arise.
The serial cable provided with the Switch is a DB9/DB25-to-DB9/DB25. This
provides a crossover (transmit-to-receive and receive-to-transmit). The DB9
connector goes into t he Swit ch and the othe r DB9 or DB25 conn ector goes into
your workstation. You should ignore the extra DB25 connection that
is attached to the Switch. Table 3-3

Assigning a System Identity
This chapter describes how to assign a Management IP address, subnet
mask, and optional defaul t gateway address to your Switch. The
Management IP address is used for all system services, such as HTTP, FTP,
and SNMP. The Management IP address enables you to manage the Switch
from a Web browser.
Initial Configuration Options
Table 4-1 describes the choices you have when first
configuring the Switch’s required parameters. The IP Address Configuration
Utility diskette , which c omes wit h your Switch , sear ches f or the seri al nu mbers of
unconfigured Switches. It then displays a table for you to enter the Management
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (optional).
To configure the Switch from the serial in terface confi guration menu, you
must first connect the serial interface cable to the Switch. Then you can use a
terminal emulation application to enter the Management IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway (optional).

Getting Started with the Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 Series
Startup Configur ation Requirements
This section describes the fields that you must complete
with either the IP Addre ss Configuration Utility or the serial interface
configuration menu procedure.
Management IP Address
Enter a Management IP address for the system. You need this address to manage
all system services, such as HTTP, FTP, and SNMP. This address must be
accessible from one of the Switch's private physical interfaces. Therefore, the
Management IP address must map to the same network as one of the private
interfaces.
For example, if you plan to as sign IP address 10.2.3.3 with Subnet Mask
255.255.0.0 to the private physical interface, then the Management IP address
must reside in the 10.2 network.
Carefully record the Management IP address. Later, during the Quick Start or
the Guided Configuration, you need to supply IP addresses for the physical
interfaces.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask defines how many bits of the IP Address represent the network
the device is on and how many bits represent the host’s ID on the network.
The device uses the Subnet Mask to determine which IP Addresses are directly
reachable on the network and which must be routed through a gateway. A sample
IP Address is 10.2.3.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0. This indicates that all
hosts with addresses 10.2.n.n are directly reachable.
Default Gateway (Optional)
The Default Gateway is where pack ets are rout ed onto the pri vate networ k if there
is not a specific route in the routing table to the desired location.
4-2
IP Address Configuration Utility
Use this utility for the initial configuration of a Switch.
Requirements
To assign the Switch a Management IP address, you need:
• A PC running Windows 95® or Windows NT® with a functioning TCP/
IP stack
• The PC running on the same subnet as the Switch you are configuring
• The PC connected to an operational network connection
If your environment does not match these requirements, then you must use the
serial interface configuration.
To test the function of your TCP/IP stack, send a PING command to any host.
Running the IP Configuration Utility
Assigning a System Identity
The program ExtNetIP.exe is on a diskette labeled IP Address Configuration
Utility that acco mpanies th e Switch. You can copy the utility to your hard dis k and
execute it from there, or you can load it from the diskette drive. The ExtNetIP.exe
program launches the IP Address Configuration Utility, which allows you to
assign a Management IP address and subnet mask to the Switch. To run the
configuration utility:
1.
Insert the diskette into the A: drive and select Start→Run:
a:\ExtNetIP.exe
or, open the “My Computer” icon on the desktop and open the “3½
Floppy (A:)” drive, then double-click on the icon:

• An IP Address for the LAN port that is available on the system board.
• Any number of Publi c IP Address es; f or ex ample, o ne IP add ress for e ach
Public LAN/WAN Interface.
• A plan to distribute IP addresses to clients when connections are
requested; for example, us ing a DHCP server or an interna l clie nt addre ss
pool (with an address pool you need a range of IP addresses).
• An Authentication database. If you are not using internal authentication
with the LDAP database, be sure you have either the external LDAP or
the RADIUS server IP Address and password or Shared Secret
(password).
• An external accounting server, such as RADIUS, with its IP Address and
Shared Secret (password).
5-2
• Client dial-in. Prepare the clients for the type of tunneling protocol they
plan to use. The PPTP client application is available for Windows 95 on
the Nortel Networks CD, and it comes with the Windows 98 and

Required Environment
This section describes the environment that you need for the Quick Start
Configuration. If this does not describe your environment, use the Guided
Configuration.
Point-to-Point Tunnel Protocol (PPTP) tunnel access method
PPTP is a tunneling protocol supported by Nortel Networks, Microsoft, and other
vendors. The PPTP client is available for W indows 95 on the Norte l Networks CD
and comes with Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 and later operating systems.
Static IP addresses, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server address allocation, or an Internal Client Address Pool
A DHCP Server on the private LAN segment dyna mically as signs IP a ddresses on
behalf of remote users. The DHCP server is automatically discovered by
broadcasting on the private interface that is associated with the Management IP
Address. With an Internal Client Address Pool, you need a range of IP addresses.
Local Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) database authentication
5-8
LDAP is a standard protocol for Internet directory services that is based on
directory entries. A directory service is a central repository of user information.
The local database is internal to the Switch.
The Switch for the Quick Start procedure sets up an LDAP server and associated
database locally. Later, you can switch to a network-available external LDAP
server using the LDAP Intermediate File (LDIF) data format.
Prerequisites
You must meet the following prerequisites:
• IP configuration information (refer to Startup Configuration
Requirements on page 5-7 for additional information):
- Management IP Address for the Switch
- Subnet Mask for the local subnet
• User IDs and Passwords:
- PPTP Users (up to three)
- Administrator
Post Configuration Testing
To test your configuration, verify that a PPTP remote user can dial in from an
external system.
Refer to the Contivity Extranet Switch Administrator's Guide, th e Switch’s online
help, and the Microsoft PPTP documentation for additional information.

LAN/WAN Interfaces
Interfaces
Lists the Management IP Address, LAN/WAN port, and LAN card.
IP Address
Enter an IP address for each interface on the Switch, includi ng the LAN port. The
Switch uses these IP addresses for tunnel creation. The IP Address consists of 32
bits, which are written as four octets in dotted-decimal format as fo llows:
192.168.34.21
You must supply the interface IP Address configuration information, not the
Management IP Address that you already configured through the initial IP
Address configuration.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask defines how many bits of the IP Address represent the network
the device is on and how many bits represent the host’s ID on the network.
Managing the Switch
The device uses the Subnet Mask to determine which IP Addresses are directly
reachable on the network and which are only reachable through a gateway. A
sample IP Address is 10.2.3.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0. This indicates
that all hosts with addresses 10.2.n.n are directly reachable.
Default Gateway
If the routing table contains no specific route to the desired location, the Default
Gateway packets are routed onto the private network.
Type
The default configuration assigns the Management LAN interface as Private and
the LAN card interface as Public.
5-11
Getting Started with the Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 Series
Public
Indicates that this interface is attached to a Public data network like the
Internet. On a Public interface, the Switch rejects non-tunneled protocols and
accepts only tunneled protocols, such as IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, L2F and the
diagnostic protocol PING.
A host can send only enough packets to a Public interface to establish a tunnel
connection. If the tunnel i s not esta blish ed before the prese t maximum-numbe r-of
packets-allowed coun ter is reached, t hen the Switc h discar ds the packe ts from t hat
host.
Private
Indicates that this i nterfac e is attached to the Private netwo rk and that it can accept
non-tunneled networking protocols such as TCP/IP, FTP, and HTTP. The Private
interface also accepts tunneled protocols (such as IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, and L2F)
that can be used for secure management access to the Switch.
PPTP Users
5-12
User ID
Enter a User ID. The User ID works al ong with the pass word as the au thentica tion
mechanism when attempting to access your local LAN through the Switch.
Password
Enter a user Password. You should use a minimum of eight characters, including
upper and lowercase letters and numbers . Avoid using common names and words
found in the dictionary. For example, a password constructed as “AxSessPw4U”
is much better than “dog” or “Barne y.”
Note:
Do not use a password of 16 pound signs (#).
Confirm Password
Reenter the assigned password to verify that you have typed the intended
password correctly.
Remote User Static IP Address
Enter an IP Address to be assigned to this user when establishing a PPTP tunnel
session. This IP Address is unnecessary if you assign user IP addresses from
either a DHCP server or an internal address pool.
Administrator
The Administrator Settings allow you to change the Primary Administrator User
ID (UID) and Password. The Primary Administrator User ID and Password
combination always has access to all displays and controls. You can also use this
UID to access the serial port. There can be only one Primary Administrator.
User ID
Enter an app ropriate User ID for the Primary Administra tor. This UID has the
privileges to modify and view all controls in the Switch.
