METHOD AND DEVICE FOR NETWORK COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A method for managing one or more secure gateway virtual private network, VPN, devices in a secure VPN for cryptographically separated and tunnelled VPN communication, the method comprising:
- receiving (401) VPN configuration data provided by a management system; and
encapsulating the received VPN configuration data and a domain type forming one or more data packets, said domain type identifying an administrative network domain for cryptographically separated and tunnelled management communication with a hardware separated administrative controller of said one or more secure gateway VPN devices, exclusively for management of said one or more secure gateway VPN devices by means of said VPN configuration data.
