Cisco QuickVPN for Windows

Cisco QuickVPN can be used for client access to a Client to Gateway tunnel that

you configured on this router. Refer to these topics:

•

Introduction, page167

•

Cisco QuickVPN Client Installation and Configuration, page 168

•

Using the Cisco QuickVPN Software, page 168

NOTE

For more information about the configuration process, see

Managing VPN Users

and Certificates, page 147

.

Introduction

The Cisco RV0xx Series VPN routers support IPSec VPN client software, including

the Cisco QuickVPN software. For the latest features, install QuickVPN Client

1.4.0.5 or later, which supports Windows 7.

The router supports up to 50 Cisco QuickVPN clients free of charge. If the router

you have only supports up to ten clients, then upgrade its firmware.

You can create a VPN tunnel between a computer using VPN client software and a

VPN router. The following is an example of a computer-to-VPN router VPN. In her

hotel room, a traveling businesswoman connects to her Internet Service Provider

(ISP). 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. As VPNs use the Internet, distance is not a factor.

Using the VPN, the businesswoman now has a secure connection to the central

office’s network, as if she were physically connected.

Configuring a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN

Tunnel Between RV0xx Series Routers

This appendix explains how to set up a VPN between two RV0xx Series routers.

You can then repeat the procedures to add tunnels to your other sites. A Cisco

RV0xx Series router supports up to 100 VPN tunnels.

NOTE

Even if you have an RV0xx Series router on one end of the tunnel, and a different

model on the other end, you can use this information to set up your RV0xx Series

router. Note the shared settings that you need to configure on your other router. Both

devices must use a common key or certificate and must have the same security

policies set up.

Refer to these topics:

Overview, page 1

Topology Options, page 170

Other Design Considerations, page173

Configuring a VPN Tunnel on a Cisco RV0xx Series Router, page 175

Topology Options

Before you configure the VPN settings on your routers, consider the topology

options. A VPN topology specifies the peers and the networks that are part of the

VPN and how they connect to one another. Depending on the number of sites and

the nature of traffic, you can choose a hub-and-spoke topology or a mesh

topology.
