Cisco Easy VPN Remote Router Clients
To provide a comprehensive solution, Cisco Easy VPN also supports several router-based
clients. You can use the following router platforms as Cisco Easy VPN remote clients:
■ Cisco 800 Series routers (806, 826, 827,828)
■ Cisco 900 Series routers (uBR905, uBR925)
■ Cisco 1700 Series routers (1710, 1720, 1721, 1750, 1751, 1760)
Cable modems, xDSL routers, and other forms of broadband access provide Internet access,
but many situations require VPN connections to secure data that traverses the Internet.
Establishing a VPN connection between two VPN endpoints, however, can be complicated
because it usually requires coordination between administrators to perform the tedious tasks
necessary to define the connection parameters.
Cisco Easy VPN Remote eliminates most of the tedious work by implementing the Cisco
VPN Client protocol. This protocol allows many of the VPN parameters to be configured on
the access server. Once the access server is configured, the additional configuration on the
VPN Client is minimal. When the IPSec client initiates the VPN connection, the VPN remote
access server pushes the required IPSec policies to the IPSec client and creates the
corresponding IPSec tunnel.
