Site-to-Site IPsec VPN
Site-to-site VPNs are implemented based on the IPsec policies that are assigned
to the VPN topologies. An IPsec policy is a set of parameters that define the
characteristics of the site-to-site VPN, such as the security protocols and
algorithms that will be used to secure traffic in an IPsec tunnel.
Configuring Basic VPN Setup
Your device supports site-to-site IPsec VPN for a single gateway-to-gateway VPN
tunnel. After configuring these basic VPN settings, you can connect securely to
another VPN-enabled router. For example, you can configure your device at a
branch site to connect to a router that connects site-to-site VPN tunnels at the
corporate site, so that the branch site has secure access to the corporate network.
To configure basic VPN settings for a site-to-site IPsec connection:
STEP 1
Choose
VPN > Site-to-Site IPsec VPN > Basic VPN Setup
.
STEP 2
In the
New Connection Name
field, enter a name for the VPN tunnel.
STEP 3
In the
Pre-Shared Key
field, enter the pre-shared key, or password, which will be
exchanged between the two routers. It must be between 8 and 49 characters.
STEP 4
In the
Protocol
field select the protocol name from the drop-down menu
STEP 5
In the
Endpoint Information
fields, enter the following information:
•
Remote Endpoint
—Choose if the router to which your device will connect
will be identified by its IP address or by a fully qualified domain name. For
example, an IP address such as 192.168.1.1 or a fully qualified domain name
such as cisco.com.
•
Remote WAN (Internet) IP Address
—Enter the public IP address or domain
name of the remote endpoint.
