The SSL VPN client requires the Avaya VPN Gateway (AVG) installed in a virtualized environment as the VPN Gateway server. The only supported virtual environments are ESX and ESXi servers. There are three models of the AVG: 3050–VM, 3070–VM, and 3090–VM. For the hardware specifications for each model, see VMware Getting Started Guide, Avaya VPN Gateway (NN46120-302). You can download the complete AVG document collection from http://support.avaya.com.
Additional information on VMware ESXi servers is available from http://www.vmware.com.
Two arm configuration
Install the Avaya VPN Gateway (AVG) in a two arm configuration. This means that the AVG server must be equipped with two network interface cards (NIC). Assign a static IP address to each NIC.
One interface handles private traffic and is used as a management interface.
The second interface handles internet access and SSL VPN tunneling.
AVG software
There are two options for deploying the AVG software.
Deploy AVG OVF virtual appliances
Auto-installation CDROM
For AVG installation information and procedures, see VMware Getting Started Guide, Avaya VPN Gateway (NN46120-302).
Service Agent PC
Install the Service Agent (SA) PC on the private network and set the default gateway to the Avaya VPN Gateway (AVG) host IP address.
From the service agent PC
The management interface IP (MIP) address is used to launch a Management Browser Based Interface (BBI) or a Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure and monitor the AVG.
The SSL VPN tunneling IP address is used to remotely manage and monitor IP Office systems.
