Initial Setup
Joining a VPN Gateway to an Existing Cluster
After having installed the first VPN Gateway in a cluster, additional NVGs
may be added to the same cluster by specifying the Management IP
address (MIP) that identifies the cluster. When you are installing the VPN
Gateway to join an existing cluster, less information is needed because
the new VPN Gateway will fetch most of the configuration from the other
NVG(s) in the cluster.
The following applies when joining a new VPN Gateway to an existing
cluster:
•
If the VPN Gateway you are about to join is installed on a different
subnet than existing NVGs, this new device must be configured as a
slave. Master NVGs cannot exist on different subnets.
•
If the Access list consists of entries (for example, IP addresses for
control of Telnet and SSH access), also add the cluster’s MIP, the
existing VPN Gateway’s host IP address on Interface 1, and the
host IP address you have in mind for the new NVG to the Access
list. This must be done before joining the new VPN Gateway,
otherwise the devices will not be able to communicate. Use the
/cfg/sys/accesslist
command. If the Access list is empty, this
step is not required.
•
If the VPN Gateway you are about to join has a different software
version than existing NVGs, install the preferred software version on
the new VPN Gateway before joining it (see
) or upgrade the whole cluster to the same software version
as the new VPN Gateway (see
“Performing Minor/Major Release
). Use the
/boot/software/cur
command to
check the currently installed software version.
Setting up a One-Armed Configuration
If the currently installed VPN Gateway(s) in the cluster are set up for a
one-armed configuration you probably want the new VPN Gateway to be
set up similarly.
When you log in after having started the VPN Gateway the first time, you
will enter the Setup menu.
