Can VPN be enabled???!

[Glenhomes]

Hi Pros,

I have recently purchased a CISCO 827H ADSL ROUTER and in the description it stated that it had VPN access but after I installed the router and selected the VPN page it states that the router does not support this feature. Can you let me know how I can have the VPN access enabled.

I have tried to contact the resellers I purchased it from, and they said I would have to download an IOS image. As I am relatively new to Cisco products, I'd like to know if:

i) It can be done.

ii)The router supports VPN (if anybody knows)

Thanks,

Pierre

Cisco 827 router does support VPN with right IOS image. You need the IOS image of IP/ Firewall Plus IPSec 3DES. And the following link will give you more general information:

In case, you need to use Easy VPN remote feature and the following link will give you the introduction of Easy VPN remote:
