14-12 Configuring the Virtual Private Network
If you filter traffic with ACLs, you will need to write an ACL similar to this example: access-
list 101 permit udp any host 192.168.57.4 eq 4500. If you enable the XSR firewall,
refer to “Configuring Security on the XSR” on page 16-1 for more information. You can verify
traffic is passing the NAT device by entering the show crypto ipsec sa command. It displays
the following sample output, citing Port 4500 and UDP-encaps(ulation).
63.81.64.58/32, UDP, 1701 ==> 63.81.64.89/32, UDP, 1701 : 490 packets

Depending on the type of IP address management configured on the connecting site of this
application, site-to-central-site networks can be built two ways, as shown in Figure 14-6.
Figure 14-6 Site-to-Central-Site Topology
Client Mode and Network Extension Mode tunnels require the use of EZ-IPSec on the client XSR,
placing the majority of the configuration effort on the central site XSR.

Client Mode

When the XSR connects to the central site tunnel server, the tunnel server assigns the client XSR an
IP address, which can be chosen from an internal pool kept by the tunnel server. Hosts residing on
the private LAN obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server running in the XSR.
Each session between a host on the private LAN and a server on the corporate network is NAT-ed.
From the corporate perspective, the entire private LAN is represented as a single IP address. Since
hosts on the private LAN are not visible from the corporate network, traffic must be initiated from
