Remote Access with Cisco QuickVPN

Users with Cisco QuickVPN software can establish a VPN tunnel to your network. Use this option if you want to simplify the VPN setup process. You do not have to configure VPN policies. Remote users can connect securely with the Cisco QuickVPN client and an Internet connection. For information about the benefits and limitations, see “Easy and Secure Access with Cisco QuickVPN” at http:// www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/app_notes/QuickVPN_an_OL- 25680.pdf

Configuration Tasks:

1.Use the VPN Client Access page to add the usernames and passwords.

2.Optionally, use the VPN > VPN Client Access page to generate certificates to install on the users computers. For more information, see Certificate Management, page 148.

3.Install Cisco QuickVPN on the users’ computers. To get the software, go to www.cisco.com/go/software. Enter the router’s model number in the search box and then click Find. In the list of links, click Quick Virtual Private Network (QVPN) Utility. After downloading the software on the computer, double-click Setup.exe to start the installation.

4.If you generated certificates, copy the certificate to the directory where Cisco QuickVPN is installed, typically C:\Program Files\Cisco Small Business\QuickVPN client.

Remote Access with PPTP

A remote user with a Microsoft computer can establish a VPN tunnel by connecting to a PPTP server at your site. Use this option to simplify VPN setup. You do not have to configure VPN policies on the router, and there is no need to install a VPN client on the users’ computers. However, be aware that security vulnerabilities have been found in this protocol.

Configuration Tasks:

1.Use the VPN > PPTP Server page to enable PPTP server, set the IP address range for clients, and enter the usernames and passwords.

2.Distribute the user names and passwords to the users.
