the second Sunday in March and ends at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November.
For more information about NTP support for Daylight Savings Time, see
“Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP)” on page 106.
Nortel VPN Router Configuration — Basic Features
24 New in this release
Systemlog lifetime or disk size limit usage option
VPN Router allows you to choose between setting a log file disk size limit or a log
file lifetime for the Systemlog. Previous versions of the VPN Router only allowed
the Systemlog to have a lifetime specified (default 60 days).
For more information about the Systemlog lifetime and disk size limit option, see
Step 5 in “Configuring system settings” on page 108.
FTP server passive mode parameter
There is a new check box called disk size limitfound in System > Settings in the
Router Settings section.
By enabling this parameter, you allow passive FTP connections to connect to the
unit, perform directory listings, and upload and download files. If this check box
is not enabled, you can still use passive FTP connections to connect to the unit, but
you cannot perform directory listings or upload and download files.
For more information about the FTP server passive mode parameter, see Step 7 in
“Configuring system settings” on page 108.
Source IPs access restriction to management
This release enables an administrator to have more control over management
services by restricting source IPs connections for management purposes through
Access Lists (ACL). For more information about Source IPs access restriction to
management, see “Restricting source IPs access to management” on page 44.
SSH server configurations
You can now enable an SSH server to allow secure CLI sessions, such as telnet, to
the NVR. You can enable the private and public interface filters, set the port for
the SSH server, and restart the server. You can use either the NVR GUI or CLI to
configure the SSH server. For more information about SSH server configurations,
see “Using the SSH server to allow secure sessions” on page 112.

Chapter 1
Overview
This chapter introduces the Nortel VPN Router. The Nortel VPN Router is a
family of products that deliver security and IP services in a single integrated
platform. With IP routing, Virtual Private Networking (VPN), stateful firewall,
policy management and QoS services, a single Nortel VPN Router device offers
the IP services that normally require multiple purpose devices. Designed for
enterprise networks, the Nortel VPN Router leverages the cost advantages of the
Internet while providing secure communications across the public IP
infrastructure.
As a highly scalable device, the Nortel VPN Router can address the security and
IP services needs of the smallest branch site or largest headquarters environment.
A Nortel VPN Router can be installed as an IP access router or stateful packet
firewall.
25
The Nortel VPN Router incorporates Nortel’s Secure Routing Technology (SRT).
SRT is a software framework that provides a security structure through all Nortel
VPN Router operational components, including IP routing, VPN, firewall, and
policy services. This allows for management consistency and scalable
performance even when running multiple IP services in the same device. SRT also
provides dynamic routing (RIP/OSPF) over secure IPsec tunnels, uniform security
policies across VPN, routing, and firewall services and a flexible software
licensing scheme.
Network deployment alternatives
With its combination of secure, manageable, and scalable features, you can shift
information technology resources from solving the current remote user access
problems to other, more proactive administrative and management areas. And you
can eliminate modem-management pool problems from your organization and
shift them to your Nortel VPN Router provider.
Nortel VPN Router Configuration — Basic Features
26 Chapter 1 Overview
Nortel VPN Router access allows remote users to dial in to an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) anywhere and reach corporate headquarters or branch offices. The
Nortel VPN Router provides remote users access to corporate databases, mail
servers, and file servers. Figure 1 shows a typical packet data network (PDN).
Figure 1 Ty p i c a l P D N
The Nortel VPN Router allows ISPs to take over the role of point-of-presence
(POP) providers of modem access. It improves performance while lowering
overhead, which translates to significant corporate savings.
Virtual private networking
A VPN is a private data communication channel that uses a public IP network as
the basic transport for connecting corporate data centers, remote offices, mobile
employees, telecommuters, customers, suppliers, and business partners.
Physically discontiguous networks are made to appear logically connected and
contiguous.
A remote access VPN service requires the creation and operation of a secure
tunnel between client software on a remote device, such as a PC, and host
software on a Nortel VPN Router.
Figure 2 on page 27 shows examples of VPN services.
NN46110-500
Chapter 1 Overview 27
Figure 2 VPN service models
The Nortel VPN Router uses a combination of authorization, authentication,
privacy, and access control for each user.
Licensing features
Licence keys can be obtained through Nortel’s customer support. The Nortel VPN
Router provides several license key options:
• Advanced Routing
• Nortel VPN Router Stateful Firewall
• VPN Tunnels
•Premium
•DSLw
•BGP only
The Advanced Routing License key must be installed to enable OSPF on the
Nortel VPN Router. (The Firewall License Key is required only when the
redistribution capabilities of RIP and OSPF are necessary).
Nortel VPN Router Configuration — Basic Features
28 Chapter 1 Overview
The Nortel VPN Router Stateful Firewall License key must be installed to enable
the Nortel VPN Router Stateful firewall.
Tunnel keys are specific to the Nortel VPN Router hardware model that you are
using. Nortel VPN Router switches are manufactured to allow either access to the
maximum number of tunnels (VPN bundle) or support for 5 tunnels (Base Unit).
This feature offers reduced cost for users who want fewer tunnels. The existing
VPN bundle does not add a cost increase nor a need for a tunnel license key.
Note: It is only necessary to install a key once on each Nortel VPN
Router. To enter the license key, go to the Admin > Install screen. You
must reboot the Nortel VPN Router to gain access to the new tunnel
limit.
Command line interface
The command line interface allows you to make configuration changes to the
Nortel VPN Router via Telnet. You can access the command line interface by
initiating a Telnet session to the Nortel VPN Router management IP address. For
further information, see Nortel VPN Router Using the Command Line Interface .
Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)
You must separately order, purchase, and implement a FIPS kit to be FIPS
compliant. This kit contains detailed documentation concerning setting up,
operating, and configuring the Nortel VPN Router to be FIPS compliant. The
FIPS kit also includes tamper-resistant labels to be put on the hardware as
instructed in the FIPS kit documentation.

Chapter 2
Getting started
This chapter describes methods for configuring and managing the Nortel VPN
Router .
Note: If you are setting up a Nortel VPN Router 1010, 1050 or 1100,
see Chapter 3, “Setting up the Nortel VPN Router 1010, 1050, and
1100.” These VPN Routers have unique set up and configuration
considerations.
Full details on hardware installation, including adding local area network (LAN)
or wide area network (WAN) cards, are in the Getting Started or installation guide
that came with the Nortel VPN Router. You should complete the hardware
installation before starting this chapter.
