Configuring VPNs to Integrate into an SRC Network

The administrator of a retailer can add and modify VPNs with an LDAP client, a data integrator, or SDX Admin. IT managers with the appropriate privileges can modify VPN properties through Enterprise Manager Portal.

For information about managing VPNs through Enterprise Manager Portal, see Chapter 29, Managing Services with Enterprise Manager Portal.

For information about managing VPNs from the SRC CLI, see Chapter 23, Adding VPNs from JUNOS Routing Platforms with the SRC CLI.

Adding VPNs with a Data Integrator

You can develop a data integrator that reads data from a storage medium, such as a database or a directory that does not use the SRC LDAP schema and that writes the data to the directory in a format that complies with the LDAP schema.

We provide a sample data integrator, VPN Directory Updater, which reads data about VPNs from a database and writes the data to a directory. If you want to use this data integrator, you need to understand how it works, and customize it for your specific application.

For information about data integrators and VPN Directory Updater, see SRC-PE Integration Guide, Chapter 9, Integrating Data with the LDAP Directory.

Adding VPNs with SDX Admin

To use SDX Admin add a VPN:

  1. In the navigation pane, right-click the retailer or enterprise to which you want to add the new VPN, and select New > VPN.

The New VPN dialog box appears.

  1. Enter the names of the routing instances, as defined on the JUNOS routing platform, that implement the VPN in the network, and click OK.

For more information about routing instances and JUNOS routing platforms, see the JUNOS Internet Software documentation.

An object for the new VPN appears in the navigation pane, and the Main tab of the VPN pane appears.
