You will need to configure this router with the specific IPsec policies required for the IPsec client. You also will need to install and configure the IPsec client software on the users’ computers.

NOTE Consider two other remote access options: Remote Access with Cisco

QuickVPN, page125 and Remote Access with PPTP, page125.

The following is an example of a client-to-gateway VPN. A business traveler connects to the Internet from her hotel room. Her notebook computer has VPN client software that is configured with her office’s VPN settings. She accesses the VPN client software and connects to the VPN router at the central office. Using the VPN, she now has a secure connection to the central office’s network, as if she were physically connected.
