Remote Access with Cisco QuickVPN
For quick setup with basic VPN security settings, distribute Cisco QuickVPN
software to your users, who can then securely access your network resources.
Use this option if you want to simplify the VPN setup process. You do not have to
configure VPN policies. Remote users can connect securely with the Cisco
QuickVPN client and an Internet connection.
Site-to-Site VPN
The device supports site-to-site VPN for a single gateway-to-gateway VPN tunnel.
For example, you can configure the device at a branch site to connect to the router
at the corporate site, so that the branch site can securely access the corporate
network. The site-to-site VPN is configured in the VPN > Basic VPN Setup page.
VPN Clients
VPN client software is required to establish a VPN tunnel between the router and
remote endpoint. Your device supports Cisco QuickVPN and PPTP VPN clients.
Configuring PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables the
secure transfer of data from a remote client to a business network by creating a
secure VPN connection across public networks, such as the Internet.
NOTE When enabling the VPN on the device, the LAN subnet on the device is
automatically changed to avoid IP address conflicts between the remote network
and the local network.
To configure the PPTP VPN service:
STEP 1 Choose VPN > VPN Clients.
STEP 2 Enter the following information:
PPTP Server Check to enable the PPTP server.
IP Address for PPTP
