VPN
Use the VPN module to configure a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to allow secure
access to your site from other locations. Refer to these topics:
• Introduction to VPNs, page 122
• Viewing the Summary Information for VPN, page 126
• Setting Up a Gateway to Gateway (Site to Site) VPN, page 130
• Setting Up a Remote Access Tunnel for VPN Clients (Client To Gateway),
page 139
• Managing VPN Users and Certificates, page 147
• Setting Up VPN Passthrough, page 149
• Setting Up PPTP Server, page 150
Introduction to VPNs
A VPN is a connection between two endpoints in different networks to allow
private data to be sent securely over a shared or public network, such as the
Internet. This tunnel establishes a private network that can send data securely
between these two locations or networks. A VPN tunnel uses industry-standard
encryption and authentication techniques to secure the data sent between the
two networks. It can be used to create secure networks linking a central office
with remote offices, telecommuters, and/or professionals on the road.
There are several ways to create a VPN connection:
• Site to Site VPN (Gateway To Gateway), page 123
• Remote Access (Client To Gateway), page 123
• Remote Access with Cisco QuickVPN, page 125
• Remote Access with PPTP, page 125
