Configuring Basic VPN Settings (Site-to-Site VPN)
The Cisco RV215W supports Site-to-Site VPN for a single gateway-to-gateway
VPN tunnel. In this configuration, the Cisco RV215W creates a secure connection
to another VPN-enabled router. For example, you can configure the Cisco RV215W
at a branch site to connect to the router at the corporate site, so that the branch
site can securely access the corporate network. You could have a router like the
Cisco RV220W that supports ten site-to-site VPN tunnels and have an
Cisco RV215W at each remote site to provide secure connectivity.
To configure basic VPN settings for a site-to-site connection:
STEP 1 Choose VPN > Basic VPN Setup.
STEP 2 In the Connection Name field, enter a name for the VPN tunnel.
STEP 3 In the Pre-Shared Key field, enter the pre-shared key, or password, that will be
exchanged between the two routers. It must be between 8 and 49 characters.
STEP 4 In the Endpoint Information fields, enter the following information:
Remote Endpoint—Choose the way the remote endpoint, or the router to
which the Cisco RV215W will connect, is identified (by IP address - for
example,
192.168.1.1
- or fully-qualified domain name - for example,
cisco.com
).
Remote WAN (Internet) IP Address—Enter the public IP address or domain
name of the remote endpoint.
Local WAN (Internet) IP Address—Enter the public IP address or domain
name of the local endpoint (Cisco RV215W).
STEP 5 In the Secure Connection Remote Accessibility fields, enter the following
information:
Remote LAN (Local Network) IP Address—Enter the private network
(LAN) address of the remote endpoint. This is the IP address of the internal
network at the remote site.
Remote LAN Subnet Mask—Enter the private network (LAN) subnet mask
of the remote endpoint.
Local LAN (Local Network) IP Address—Enter the private network (LAN)
address of the local network. This is the IP address of the internal network
on the Cisco RV215W.
