Chapter 3 Setting up the Nortel VPN Router 1010, 1050, and 1100 61
Branch office quick start utility
The branch office quick start utility (BOQS) simplifies deployment of the Nortel
VPN Router in the branch office environment. BOQS converts the Nortel VPN
Router 1010, 1050, or 1100 device from an Internet access VPN Router into a
secure access VPN Router by provisioning a VPN connection to a central office or
optionally, to a network operation center (NOC). BOQS allows a NOC or central
office management to access the Nortel VPN Router 1010, 1050, or 1100 so that
network administrators can further configure the these units without going to the
remote site.
Network administrators and service providers can use the branch office quick start
for provisioning IP-based VPN services on a large scale. It provides VPN services
using Nortel VPN Router 1010, 1050, or 1100 devices as branch office VPN
switches and other Nortel VPN Routers as central office switches.
In addition to connectivity, the central office switch must be able to accept newly
created secure connections from the Nortel VPN Router 1010, 1050, or 1100.
Therefore, the BOQS must be used with the knowledge and approval of a network
administrator. It can only be initiated after IP addressing has been planned and the
central office switch has been configured. Then you can send the provisioning
parameters to the remote branch office locations.
The Nortel VPN Router 1010, 1050, and 1100 must be connected to a public
network and have access to the Internet before local users can use BOQS. The
unique default configuration allows easy deployment of Nortel VPN Router 1010,
1050, and 1100 switches in DHCP configurations (where a DHCP server is used
on the public network). However, if you use static IP addressing or PPPoE on the
public side, the Nortel VPN Router 1010, 1050, or 1100 must be configured
manually before local users can use BOQS.
All users on the private network must renew their IP addresses. For further
information, see your Microsoft documentation. When the branch office tunnels
are established, public access to the Internet is replaced with access to the central
oftice.
Note: The BOQS will remain accessible after the information is entered.
The network administrator must change the admin account (username/
password) to restrict access.
