Using Cisco IPSec VPN to Establish the IPSec VPN Tunnels
The security appliance can function as a Cisco IPSec VPN server to allow the
remote users to establish the IPSec tunnels and securely access the corporate
network resources.
The Cisco IPSec VPN server pushes the security policies to remote clients so that
remote clients have up-to-date policies in place before establishing the
connections. This flexibility allows mobile and remote users to access critical data
and applications on the corporate Intranet. The remote client can be a Cisco
device that supports the Cisco VPN hardware client or a PC running the Cisco
VPN Client software (v4.x or v5.x).
