This preface describes the purpose, objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of the Cisco 7100 Series VPN Configuration Guide.
This software configuration guide explains the basic tasks necessary to configure IP-based, multiservice site-to-site and remote access Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) on your Cisco 7100 series router. VPNs integrate security and quality of service (QoS) through network technologies such as generic routing encapsulation (GRE) and IP Security Protocol (IPSec) tunneling, and high-speed encryption to ensure private transactions over public data networks. This guide does not cover every available feature; it is not intended to be a comprehensive VPN configuration guide. Instead, this guide simply explains the basic tasks necessary to configure site-to-site and remote access VPNs on your Cisco 7100 series router.
 |
Note For detailed information on configuring client-initiated and network access server (NAS)-initiated access VPNs using the L2F tunneling protocol, refer to the Access VPN Solutions Using Tunneling Technology publication. If you have an account on Cisco Connection Online (CCO), you can access the Access VPN Solutions Using Tunneling Technology publication from CCO by logging on and selecting Technical Documents: Documentation Home Page: Technology Information: Internetworking Solutions Guides: Access VPN Solutions Using Tunneling Technology. |
The intranet, extranet, and remote access business scenarios introduced in this guide include specific tasks and configuration examples. The examples are the recommended methods for configuring the specified tasks. Although they are typically the easiest or the most straightforward method, they are not the only methods of configuring the tasks. If you know of another configuration method not presented in this guide, you can use it.
|

For instructions on how to install, power up, and initially configure your Cisco 7100 series router, refer to the Cisco 7100 Series VPN Router Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your Cisco 7100 series router. |
