About VPN
A VPN provides a secure communication channel (“tunnel”) between two gateway
routers or between a remote PC and a gateway router, as in the following
scenarios:
• Site-to-Site VPN: The VPN tunnel connects two routers to secure traffic
between two sites that are physically separated. See Configuring a Site-
to-Site VPN Tunnel, page 137.
• Remote Access with IPsec VPN Client Software: A remote worker uses a
secure VPN client software to access the corporate network. See
Configuring a Site-to-Site VPN Tunnel, page 137.
• Remote Access with a Web Browser: A remote worker uses a web
browser to initiate a VPN tunnel to access the available services on the
corporate network. See Configuring SSL VPN for Browser-Based Remote
Access, page 154.
