Scenario: IPsec Remote-Access VPN
Configuration
This chapter describes how to use the security appliance to accept remote-access
IPsec VPN connections. A remote-access VPN enables you to create secure
connections, or tunnels, across the Internet, thus providing secure access to
off-site users.
If you are implementing an Easy VPN solution, this chapter describes how to
configure the Easy VPN server (sometimes called a headend device).
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Example IPsec Remote-Access VPN Network Topology, page 3-1
• Implementing the IPsec Remote-Access VPN Scenario, page 3-2
• What to Do Next, page 3-18
