Introduction to Cisco Easy VPN
Overview of the Easy VPN Server

The Cisco Easy VPN consists of two components. The two components are the Cisco Easy VPN Server and the Cisco Easy VPN Remote feature .

The Easy VPN Server
The Easy VPN Server enables Cisco IOS routers, PIX Security Appliances, and Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrators to act as VPN headend devices in site-to-site or remote-access VPNs, where the remote office devices are using the Easy VPN Remote feature. Using this feature, security policies defined at the headend are pushed to the remote VPN device, ensuring that those connections have up-to-date policies in place before the connection is established.

In addition, an Easy VPN Server-enabled device can terminate IPSec tunnels initiated by mobile remote workers running VPN Client software on PCs. This flexibility makes it possible for mobile and remote workers, such as salespeople on the road or telecommuters, to access their headquarters intranet where critical data and applications exist.
