Introduction
The Cisco RV0xx Series VPN routers support IPSec VPN client software, including
the Cisco QuickVPN software. For the latest features, install QuickVPN Client
1.4.0.5 or later, which supports Windows 7.
The router supports up to 50 Cisco QuickVPN clients free of charge. If the router
you have only supports up to ten clients, then upgrade its firmware.
You can create a VPN tunnel between a computer using VPN client software and a
VPN router. The following is an example of a computer-to-VPN router VPN. In her
hotel room, a traveling businesswoman connects to her Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Her notebook computer has VPN client software that is configured with her
office’s VPN settings. She accesses the VPN client software and connects to the
VPN router at the central office. As VPNs use the Internet, distance is not a factor.
Using the VPN, the businesswoman now has a secure connection to the central
office’s network, as if she were physically connected.
