Using the Command-Line Interface for
Quick Configuration
This chapter tells you how to complete quick configuration of the system using the VPN 3000 Series
command-line interface (CLI).
Quick configuration supplies the minimal parameters needed to make the VPN Concentrator operational.
For example, a configured remote user with a PC and modem can use Microsoft PPTP and a local ISP
to connect securely—in a VPN tunnel through the Internet—with resources on a private, internal
corporate network.
The CLI is a menu-based configuration, administration, and monitoring system built into the VPN
Concentrator. You can use it from the console or in a Telnet session. To use a Telnet session, connect to
the IP address of the private Ethernet interface.
Before beginning the procedures in this section, you should have completed Steps 1 through 11 in the
"Using the Console" section on page

These quick configuration menus appear only once—and you can go through the steps of quick
configuration only once—unless you reboot the system with the Reboot Ignoring the Configuration
File option.
Entries are case-sensitive; for example, admin and ADMIN are different passwords.
The system displays more tips and examples than appear in the dialogue here.
The system shows current or default entries in brackets; for example, [ 10.10.4.6 ].
After each entry, press the Enter key on the console keyboard.
Configuration entries take effect as soon as you enter them, and they constitute the active, or
running, configuration. Many quick configuration menus let you save the active configuration to the
config file, and thus make it the boot configuration. We suggest you do so.
If you make a mistake, the system displays an Error message and repeats the previous prompt. You
can often enter a correct value and proceed, but in some cases you may need to restart the section to
correct an earlier error. See
2-15. As you proceed, refer to the data you recorded in
