Hi,
I'm new to VPN, but now my company wants to set up a VPN between branch offices. It is supposed to be a router to router VPN. But after reading a lot of articles and whitepapers things are still a bit blurry.
We have all cisco equipement, a 2600 series router and a PIX 515 firewall.
- With a router to router VPN, is there no other software required to use/set up the VPN? (like a Win2k/NT system?)
- I've read that the firewall is supposed to support VPN in order to create a VPN, but when the VPN router is behind the firewall, do I need to configure the firewall to support VPN? And why, won't just open up the port to the router suffice?
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
Regards,
TheSaint
