You will need to configure this router with the specific IPsec policies required for
the IPsec client. You also will need to install and configure the IPsec client
software on the users’ computers.
NOTE Consider two other remote access options: Remote Access with Cisco
QuickVPN, page 125 and Remote Access with PPTP, page 125.
The following is an example of a client-to-gateway VPN. A business traveler
connects to the Internet from her hotel room. Her notebook computer has VPN
client software that is configured with her office’s VPN settings. She accesses the
VPN client software and connects to the VPN router at the central office. Using the
VPN, she now has a secure connection to the central office’s network, as if she
were physically connected.
Configuration tasks:
1. Use the VPN > Client to Gateway page to configure the VPN tunnel with the
settings required by the third-party client, such as TheGreenbow. For
instructions, see Setting Up a Remote Access Tunnel for VPN Clients (Client
To Gateway), page 139.
2. Install the client software on the users’ computers.
