Level 1

Hello,

I am new to Cisco technology and would like to set up VPN capability for remote users. We have an 871 router with 1 public IP address and an internal Windows network that uses PAT to access the internet. Could someone please provide a link or information on how to get started configuring VPN.

Thanks

You need easy vpn server feature get in the place

unfortunately 871 doesn't support EASY VPN server feature so you need at least cisco 1700/1800 series

Hello,

The document listed below has information on how to configure a VPN client to an ASA.

And it also provides you information on allowing the VPN client to access internet through the ASA while connected through VPN client.

Do I need to purchase an ASA or can I use the 870 series router as a VPN server. I need to allow outside users access to my server that is located inside my LAN. We will need up to 10 VPN tunnels for remote users, but no site to site lines. If I do need to purchase more equipment does anyone have a suggestion?

You do not need to purchase more equipments.

you can use the 870 series router to provide VPN client connections to your network.

All you need in the router is to make sure that you have right software running.

Send the output of "sh ver" please.

Let me take a look at it to see if you have the ability to configure crypto.

Thanks

Gilbert

Hi,

you should not have a problem with configuring "crypto" on this router.

Thanks

Gilbert

Do you know of a link to something that will show me how to set this up?

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,

Here is the link for that.

The only thing is, the VPN client is little bit different now. The version out on CCO is 4.8 version but the configuration pretty much is the same.

This document was created when cisco first supported VPN client to terminate on Cisco IOS routers.
