Cisco 831 vpn configuration

[suderman]

Hello All !

Does anyone know if cisco 831 router can act as a VPN server ?

What I mean is to configure Cisco 831 router as vpn server that will accept vpn connections from remote pc's.
These Pc's will use a standard windows vpn client that uses pptp or l2tp.

I have already did it using vpdn but it's not working ...

Ay idea or examples of configurations appreciated
Thanks in advance.

I would suggest a different method. Configure the router as a VPN server and use the Cisco VPN client software on the remote PC's. See the following page for information on this:

Here is a better link:

http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/products/ps6659/c1650/cdccont_0900aecd80313bf8.pdf

The first one uses radius....this one does not and also shows split tunneling.

Make sure you have the following in your setup:

username any_vpnusername password 7 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

vpdn enable
!
vpdn-group 1
! Default PPTP VPDN group
accept-dialin
protocol pptp
virtual-template 1

interface Virtual-Template1
ip unnumbered FastEthernet0/0 (lan interface)
no ip redirects
ip route-cache flow
peer default ip address pool vpnuser
no keepalive
ppp encrypt mppe auto
ppp authentication pap chap ms-chap
!
ip local pool vpnuser 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.50

Might also need to build an access list for your outside interface as to allow VPN traffic in.
