Scenario: Site-to-Site VPN

Configuration

This chapter describes how to use the adaptive security appliance to create a site-to-site VPN.

Site-to-site VPN features provided by the adaptive security appliance enable businesses to extend their networks across low-cost public Internet connections to business partners and remote offices worldwide while maintaining their network security. A VPN connection enables you to send data from one location to another over a secure connection, or tunnel, first by authenticating both ends of the connection, and then by automatically encrypting all data sent between the two sites.

This chapter includes the following sections:
