Table 12-11 Easy VPN Settings Fields
Element Description
Name Enter a name for the Easy VPN remote configuration.
Mode
Client Choose Client mode if you want the PCs and other devices on the
router’s inside networks to form a private network with private IP
addresses. Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address
Translation (PAT) will be used. Devices outside the LAN will not be
able to ping devices on the LAN or to reach them directly.
Network Extension Choose Network Extension if you want the devices connected to
the inside interfaces to have IP addresses that are routable and
reachable by the destination network. The devices at both ends of
the connection will form one logical network. PAT will be
automatically disabled, allowing the PCs and hosts at both ends of
the connection to have direct access to one another.
Consult the administrator of the Easy VPN server or concentrator
before you choose this setting.
Tunnel Control
Auto Choose Auto if you want the VPN tunnel to be established
automatically when the Easy VPN configuration is delivered to the
router configuration file. However, you will not be able to control
the tunnel manually in the VPN Connections window. The Connect
and Disconnect buttons are disabled when this Easy VPN
connection is chosen.
Manual Choose Manual if you want to control when the VPN tunnel is
established and terminated. You must click the Connect button in
the Edit Easy VPN Remote window to establish the tunnel. The
Connect and Disconnect buttons are enabled whenever you choose
a VPN connection with the Manual tunnel control setting.
Servers
You can specify up to ten Easy VPN servers by IP address or hostname, and you can order the list to
specify which servers the router will attempt to connect to first.
