Configuring VPN Settings
When the use of IPSec or PPTP is desired, Alcatel switches provide full VPN
termination capabilities using hardware acceleration. All encryption protocols
are run in hardware, with encryption hardware being appropriately sized to
handle a full load of access points. Additionally, built into each switch is a
“VPN dialer” Windows application that pre-configures supported Windows
systems to work with Alcatel VPN services.
IPSec
AOS-W supports termination of IPSec tunnels using both L2TP/IPSec
(supported natively by Windows 2000, XP, and PocketPC 2003) and
IPSec/XAUTH (supported by most 3
rd
-party VPN clients). To configure IPSec,
navigate to Configuration > Security > VPN Settings > IPSec, as shown in the
figure below.
