Client Mode

Client Mode
Client mode enables you to deploy a VPN quickly and easily in a small office/home office
(SOHO) environment. In situations where there is no need to access the devices behind the
VPN client directly and ease of use and quick installation are important, the client mode is
the ideal solution.
In client mode, the Easy VPN Remote device uses PAT to isolate the private network from
the public network. PAT causes all of the traffic from the SOHO network to appear on the
private network as a single source IP address. Figure 14-3 illustrates the Easy VPN Remote
client mode of operation. The remote clients are on the 192.168.10.0 network. Traffic from
these clients is converted (by PAT) to a single address (10.20.10.2).
