Scenario: Remote-Access VPN
Configuration
This chapter describes how to use the adaptive security appliance to accept
remote-access IPsec VPN connections. A remote-access VPN enables you to
create secure connections, or tunnels, across the Internet, thus providing secure
access to off-site users.
If you are implementing an Easy VPN solution, this chapter describes how to
configure the Easy VPN server (sometimes called a headend device).
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Example IPsec Remote-Access VPN Network Topology, page 7-1
• Implementing the IPsec Remote-Access VPN Scenario, page 7-2
• What to Do Next, page 7-18
