When you set up your VPN, keep in mind that the VPN connection (the “tunnel”)
emulates an actual hardware wide area network port. After setting up your VPN
tunnel, you can create a connection profile to allow access to and from a remote site.
VPN connections are created automatically as a result of a reference by a LAN user to
a resource reachable through a VPN connection.
To Configure VPN Remote Office Access Profiles
In order to set up access to and from a remote site, be sure to configure both ends of
the VPN tunnel appropriately (the remote router
and
the local router). Wireless
