Easy VPN Remote Wizard: Summary of Configuration
This window shows you the Easy VPN configuration that you have created, and it
allows you to save the configuration. A summary similar to the following appears:
Easy VPN tunnel name:test1
Easy VPN server: 222.28.54.7
Group: myCompany
Key: 1234
Save XAuth Credentials to this
router
The Easy VPN server may use XAuth to authenticate the router. If
the server allows the save password option, you can eliminate the
need to enter the username and password each time the Easy VPN
tunnel is established by this option. Enter the username and
password provided by the Easy VPN server administrator, and then
reenter the password to confirm its accuracy. The information is
saved in the router configuration file and used each time the tunnel
is established.
Caution Storing the XAuth username and password in router
memory creates a security risk, because anyone who has
access to the router configuration can obtain this
information. If you do not want this information stored
on the router, do not enter it here. The Easy VPN server
will simply challenge the router for the username and
password each time the connection is established.
Additionally, Cisco SDM cannot itself determine
whether the Easy VPN server allows the save password
option. You must determine whether the server allows
this option. If the server does not allow this option, you
should not create a security risk by entering the
information here.
Username Enter the username required for authentication.
Password Enter the password required for authentication.
Reenter password Reenter the password to confirm accuracy.
