Easy VPN Server

Configuring Easy VPN Server on Cisco IOS Routers with CCP

Part III

Connecting using the client

After this, you can use Cisco VPN Client to connect to the Server.

Features of Cisco VPN Client:

Establishes end-to-end, encrypted VPN tunnels for secure connectivity.
Compatible with all Cisco VPN products.
Supports the innovative Cisco Easy VPN capabilities.

In my GNS3 example (EASY_VPN_SERVER_ON_R2), I’ve created an authentication group named Marketing and a PSK key “juanma”. The IP addres of the Server’s interface is 192.168.0.1.

Launch VPN client and configure the connection to this Server. Finally click on the Connect buttom. The following window is showed:

In my case: username “juantron” and password “juantron” was configured. Click OK :

That’s all. Now, you can work at home with your laptop and download mail, access to server’s files, etc.

Verifying VPN connection

You have two options after the client has stablished a connection to the server:

Check “Test VPN connectivity after configuring”.
Usin monitoring feature on CCP. Click: Monitor > Security > VPN Status > Easy VPN Server

You also can disconnect the peer from here by clicking the Disconnect buttom.

Or you can see the IPSec tunnel:
