I am just starting to work on a VPN and I was trying to find out which protocol of AH and ESP is recommended for authentication and encryption. What is the standard on this?

Thanks
 
Use ESP, it is more secure than AH. Also, make sure you have 3DES rather than DES.
Check out Cisco's website for technical docs on how to setup VPN.
