Nokias need Check Point installed for them to work.<br />
<br />
If you know cisco, then chances are you can configure a check point firewall, but if you know nothing about it, I would google quite a bit more on it.<br />

If someone has given you a nokia, then I would ask that person for the Check Point software to put on it too,<br />

Good Morning,<br />
<br />
Well, I come into work this morning and there is a Nokia IP40 sitting on my desk, I ask what it is about, and apparently I am supposed to create a VPN for a private network. Now I was just hoping there was perhaps a guide on this or something, I have my CCNP so I am quite familiar with Cisco devices, but have never played with Nokias. Any help would be appreciated!<br />
<br />
Thanks

Nokia IP40 Firewall - Ipsec VPN

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPsec can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). IPsec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite.

Internet Protocol Security

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
