Can I VPN into my home Cisco 877?

Hi,

I have a Cisco 877 at home, is it possible to VPN into this as I travel to save my files etc. I have the Cisco VP client on my laptop.

Thanks

Just configure the VPN Client config - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_configuration_example09186a00801dddbb.shtml

Thanks for taking the time to look at my post.

I don't have a static IP from my ISP, but I have configure dynamic DNS (dyndns.com) so I can access my router via ssh anywhere.

I guess I have to have a static IP or no go?

Thanks

No you don't need a static IP, when you create a new VPN profile in the VPN client - you put your domain name in the "host" section, then DNS will do the rest.

Thanks,

There seems to be 2 configs, hub and spoke, which one would I need?

Hub config - this is where the VPN client config is.

Thanks, I guess the"crypto map mymap

" would be applied to the daialer 1 interface of my router?

Yes
