When presented with a remote office with multiple clients requiring connectivity to the central location's concentrator, it would be an administrative nightmare to install the Cisco Unity software client on every PC. In this type of scenario, it would benefit the office to utilize the Cisco VPN 3002 Hardware Client. This small appliance can actually initiate a single tunnel on behalf of up to 253 clients behind it, thus eliminating the need to install a client on individual workstations. What's more, it can be implemented in a remote office regardless how diverse the operating systems are on the workstations. Not to mention, the 3002 Hardware Client can also connect to other VPN-capable devices aside from VPN 3000 Concentrators, such as the Cisco PIX firewall and a Cisco router.

This chapter explores the diverse functionality that the VPN 3002 Hardware Client can provide and how it interacts with the central location's VPN 3000 Concentrator.
