New to Connectra - please help

[robori]

Hello,

I'm starting to manage a pair of Connectra 6000 hardware but the previous administrator had installed Secure Platform Ngx R60 on it. It's attached/managed by an R60 Mgmt Station and it's configured in a Load Balance 50%-50% with Cluster XL. It's used for SSL VPN access but I'd like to know how did the guy do to make it available for SSL VPN access, do you think he had just installed the R60 SPLAT and then installed the SSL Network extender on it ? If so, do you guys have a procedure or document for such an installation ?

One of the gateways is having an intermitent issue, it just looses network connectivity, and the green status led turns to orange. If we open the rack and turn off and on again, connectivity comes back. Have you guys seen a problem like that ?


Thanks in advance!

Robori.

The SSL Network Extender is just a license enabled feature. Could it possibly be using SecureClient and then Visitor Mode or do the users have no client installed.

Installation is the same as anyother SPLAT system, Insert CD, reboot follow instructions.

Hi,

Just catching up this post right now. The hardware is Connectra 6000 but they have installed Secure Platform / NGX R60 over it, and installed the SSL VPN Network Extender to enable the SSL VPN feature. The users use no client just a web URL to connect to the SSL VPN and it's been working fine for 2 years. Now the hardware is defective and we need to replace this box, so I'd like to know where I can see the SSL VPN Network Extender version and where I can download it to install it, because I'll need to rebuild the on the new replace Connectra box that CP is sending us.

Could you guys please help !?

Thank you!
Robori.

Just found this:


/var/opt/CPsuite-R60/fw1/conf/extender/CSHELL/snx_install.sh

It must the Linux version of SSL VPN Network Extender, I guess....

When you say has installed SPLAT NGX R60 over the top then you are saying that is running VPN-1 NGX R60, as opposed to the Connectra Software.

If you install VPN-1 NGX R60 then the SSL Network extender is allowed as part of the standard install. You just need to install the license, and install the security policy. The policy should not need to be touched, just build the replacement box with the same hostname etc and resic the object to it.
