EAGLE Getting Started and Configuration

Access

Preparation: There are 2 methods for entering the Eagle for the first time.

Static ARP entry HiDiscovery (self explanatory)

Static ARP entry is achieved by opening a command prompt on the configuration PC while attached to the secure port of the Eagle.

EX. Arp –s 1.1.1.1 00-11-22-33-44-55

The arp entry is transmitted in the direction of the Eagle and intercepted by the Eagle allowing WEB access @:

HTTPS://1.1.1.1

Because it is necessary to build/establish an L2TP/IPSec VPN from the "unsecured" port of the Eagle, it is necessary to establish some rules for access to the unit before we begin.

Incoming Firewall rules

HTTPS access from "outside"

SNMPv3 Access for encrypted login

L2TP/IPSec VPN

Goal: To establish an encrypted communication between VPN client

software and the Eagle TX/TX with VPN

Suggestions: IP address scheme Access list (IP or User) in other words how many devices(users) will

have access to how many other devices(users).

L2TP/IPSec VPN

The diagram illustrates the machines, connections and addresses involved in the configuration

L2TP/IPSec VPN (Certificates)

There are a total of 4 (x.509) certificates necessary to build the intended VPN tunnel.

There are 2 "Machine" certificates with (.p12) file extensions Windows-Certificate e.g. WinMaCert.p12 Eagle-Certificate e.g EagleMaCert.p12

There are 2 "Trusted" or "connection" certificates with (.cer or .crt) extensions

CA-Certificate (trusted) e.g TrustedCA.crt Windows-Connection e.g WinCoCert.crt

It is extremely important that these 4 certificates be allocated to the proper locations. Any discrepancy in the location of these certificates will result in a security negotiation failure.
