Introduction to VPNs

Site to Site VPN (Gateway To Gateway)

In a site-to-site or gateway-to-gateway VPN, a VPN router at one office connects to a VPN router at a remotely located office. Client devices can access network resources as if they were all at the same site. This model can be used for multiple users at a remote office.

In the following example, the main office (Site A) and a remote office (Site B) are connected by a VPN tunnel. Users at both sites have access to the network resources at both sites.

Configuration tasks:

Use the VPN > Gateway to Gateway page to configure the VPN tunnel. For instructions, see Setting Up a Gateway to Gateway (Site to Site) VPN, page 130. For more details and examples, see Appendix D, “Configuring a

Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Tunnel Between RV0xx Series Routers.”

Remote Access (Client To Gateway)

In a remote access or client-to-gateway VPN, a computer with VPN client software connects to a VPN router. For this scenario, you can install third-party VPN client software on the users’ computers. Alternatively, a VPN tunnel can be accessed from any computer with the built-in IPSec Security Manager (Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 7).
