Components of Easy VPNCisco Easy VPN consists of two components, the Easy VPN Server and the Easy VPN Remote. Basically, the Easy VPN Server pushes policies to the Easy VPN Remotes.
Easy VPN ServerEasy VPN Servers are headend devices such as PIX Firewalls, IOS routers, or VPN 3000 series concentrators . You can use the Easy VPN Server feature with remote-access VPN tunnels and site-to-site VPN tunnels. In either tunnel scenario, the Easy VPN Server pushes policies that you have configured on the Easy VPN Server to the Easy VPN Remote device.
Easy VPN RemoteThe Easy VPN Remote device receives security policies that are pushed from the Easy VPN Server. That is what really differentiates the server from the remote, pushing or receiving security policies. One of the reasons is that the Easy VPN Remote is not just a Cisco 3002 VPN Hardware Client or VPN Software Client; the Easy VPN Remote can also be a PIX Firewall, IOS router, or VPN 3000 series concentrator. |
