11 Configuring Remote Access

11.1 Remote Access

The Internet Security Router firewall allows telecommuters to securely access their corporate network using

the Remote Access mechanism based on the notions of groups, users and access policies. Each group is

associated with a set of access policies that are activated when a user belonging to that group logs in. The

Internet Security Router maintains details about the access policies defined for the remote access groups.

These access lists define the resources the remote users are allowed to access and the inactivity time-out

applicable to all the users in the group.

When a user belonging to a group logs in via the Internet or through the local network, the Internet Security

Router Firewall activates the policies associated with the group and creates dynamic policies associated with

the user. These dynamic policies are referred to for every connection from the user. They are deleted once the

user logs out of the Internet Security Router or in case of inactivity time-out.

A typical configuration for remote access involves the following actions:

„ Add/modify/delete a new user group and user information (including user name, password and etc) to

the group.

„ For VPN remote access, virtual IP address assignment is required for each remote access user.

„ Add/modify/delete group access policies.

11.2 Manage User Groups and Users

The Remote Access option allows you to configure users and groups.
