Preface
This preface describes the purpose, objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of
the Cisco 7100 Series VPN Configuration Guide.
Purpose
This software configurationguide explains the basic tasksnecessary to configureIP-based,
multiservice intranet and extranet Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) on your Cisco 7100
series router that integrate security and quality of service (QoS) through network
technologies such as generic routing encapsulation (GRE) and IP Security Protocol (IPSec)
tunneling, and high-speed encryption to ensure private transactions over public data
networks. This guide does not cover every available feature; it is not intended to be a
comprehensive VPN configuration guide. Instead, this guide simply explains the basic
tasks necessary to configure an intranet and extranet VPN on your Cisco 7100 series router
based on the GRE and IPSec tunneling protocols.
Note Although supported by Cisco 7100 series routers, this guide does not explainhow to
configure access VPNs using the Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F) or Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol
(L2TP) tunneling protocols. Configuring access VPNs using the L2TP tunneling protocol
will be covered in a later release of this guide. For detailed information on configuring
client-initiated and network access server (NAS)-initiated access VPNs using the L2F
tunneling protocol, refer to the Access VPN Solutions Using Tunneling Technology
publication.
