Before you set up the Novell IP Gateway, you must meet the following prerequisites:
Before setting up the Novell IP Gateway, verify that the following prerequisites have been met for the gateway server:
To enable IP packet forwarding from the server console, load INETCFG, select Protocols > TCP/IP, and change the status of IP Packet Forwarding from Disabled End Node to Enabled Router. To set up static routing from the server console, load INETCFG, select Protocols > TCP/IP enable LAN Static Routing > select LAN Static Routing Table to enter static routes.
To set up IPX from the server console, load INETCFG > select Protocols > IPX. To bind IPX to an interface on the server, load INETCFG and select Bindings.
If the Novell BorderManager 3.7 server does not provide the connection to the ISP, ensure that the server has a static route set up or that the router to the ISP is in the Novell BorderManager 3.7 server's routing path.
PKI and SAS are installed automatically during Novell BorderManager 3.7 installation if the services have not been previously installed. After SAS and PKI are installed, you must use the PKI snap-in to NetWare Administrator to perform following SSL-related administrative task:
More information about Novell PKI Services and certificate authorities is located in the NetWare online documentation. Refer to the Novell PKI online help in NetWare Administrator for the procedures to create and manage NDS or eDirectory tree CAs and KMOs. Default installation sets packet filtering to block all incoming and outgoing traffic. To modify the packet filtering setup, refer to Setting Up Packet Filters.
To set up the DNS Resolver, complete the following steps at the server console:
Enter LOAD NIASCFG, then select Configure NIAS > Protocols and Routing > Protocols > TCP/IP > DNS Resolver Configuration.
Enter the DNS domain name for your corporation or organization.
Your ISP typically supplies this name. Domain names usually take the form company_name.com or organization.org. For example, novell.com or acme.org.
Enter the IP addresses of up to three DNS name servers in the Name Server fields.
ISPs often provide access to multiple DNS name servers.
Press Esc to select Yes to update the TCP/IP configuration.
Pres Esc until you return to the Internetworking Configuration menu > select Reinitialize System and exit NIASCFG.
Client prerequisites are provided in the following sections:
The client used by an administrator to set up Novell IP Gateway services must have the following installed:
NOTE: The Novell BorderManager 3.7 and PKI snap-in modules can be installed on the server instead of the client. This is preferable if an administrator uses multiple client machines but has a login script to consistently map a drive to the directory from which NetWare Administrator is run (the same directory where the snap-in modules are installed).
A client accessing the Internet using the IPX/IP gateway service must have the following installed:
A client accessing the Internet using the IP/IP gateway service must have the following installed:
A SOCKS client accessing the Internet using the Novell IP Gateway SOCKS service does not need special configuration. However, to enable the Novell IP Gateway to verify or authenticate SOCKS users, the following is required:
A SOCKS user who also uses Novell Client software already has a User object. However, SOCKS users whose client machines are UNIX*, Macintosh*, or OS/2*, most likely require a new User object.
