About VPN
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides a secure communication channel
(“tunnel”) between two gateway routers or between a remote PC and a gateway
router, as in the following scenarios:
•
Site-to-Site VPN:
The VPN Tunnel connects two routers to secure traffic
between two sites that are physically separated. See
Configuring a Site-
to-Site VPN Tunnel, page 154
.
•
Remote Access with IPSec VPN Client Software:
A remote worker uses a
secure VPN client software to access the corporate network. See
Configuring a Site-to-Site VPN Tunnel, page 154
.
•
Remote Access with a Web Browser:
A remote worker uses a web
browser to initiate a VPN tunnel to access the available services on the
corporate network. See
Configuring SSL VPN for Browser-Based
Remote Access, page 172
