Contract # GS00T01AHD0002 

Proposal to Add Federal Telecommunications Service   Long Distance (FTS LD) 

Managed VPN

3

 service provides the consulting and implementation expertise to 

activate and configure the encryption module on the managed firewall hardware and 

assist with the setup of customer managed VPN end of the tunnel (premise equipment 

or remote VPN client). Managed VPN services are currently available for Managed 

Firewall and all HA Firewall Configurations.  

There are two VPN service options currently available: 

Firewall to Firewall (Point to Point) 

Client to Firewall; available in two versions: 

Remote VPN Client to Firewall (without Token Authentication) 

Token Authenticated VPN Client to Firewall. 

Firewall to Firewall and Client to Firewall configurations can be time consuming 

and complicated. Because of this, the Government is required to provide a 

knowledgeable technical engineering representative

 on the Government's end to 

assist with the implementation process.  

Firewall to Firewall option allows for an encrypted VPN link to be established 

between the Government's current Managed Firewall Services in an AT&T Internet 

Data Center and the Government's premise firewall unit, running a VPN encryption 

module. Specific access controls may also be placed on the traffic passing within the 

Firewall to Firewall VPN tunnel. Certified security experts will configure the VPN

 Managed VPN is an add on configuration to the Managed Security Service. A VPN cannot be configured before the 

managed firewall has successfully been deployed and is considered a stable implementation.

 AT&T Security support personnel will only work with the pre designated customer technical contact in resolving technical 

issues. At no time will the distribution, configuration, or technical support directly for client's users become the responsibility of 

the Managed VPN Option Support Resources.
