With the automatic setting, the VPN tunnel is established automatically when the
Easy VPN configuration is delivered to the router configuration file. However,
you will not be able to control the tunnel manually in the VPN Connections
window. The Connect or Disconnect button is disabled when this Easy VPN
connection is chosen.
With the traffic-based setting, the VPN tunnel is established whenever outbound
local (LAN side) traffic is detected.
Note The option for traffic-based activation appears only if supported by the Cisco IOS
image on your router.

Mode: Client
Outside Interface: BVI222

Clicking the Finish button writes the information to the router’s running

the changes in the Edit Easy VPN Remote window.

been configured to use XAuth, it challenges the router for a username and
password. When this happens, you must first supply a Secure Shell (SSH) login
