VPN tunnel from a remote Cisco IPSec VPN Server. This solution is ideal for remote offices with little IT support or for large customer premises equipment (CPE) deployments where it is impractical to configure multiple remote devices individually.
The Cisco IPSec VPN Client feature requires that the destination peer is a Cisco ISA500 Series Integrated Security Appliance that works as the Cisco IPSec VPN Server, or a Cisco IOS router (such as C871, C1801, C1812, C1841, and C2821) or a Cisco ASA5500 platform that supports the Cisco IPSec VPN Server feature.
VPN tunnel form a private network that does not use any IP addresses in the IP address space of the desination server. In Client mode, the outside interface of the Cisco VPN hardware client can be assigned an IP address by the remote server.
PAT is not used, which allows the client PCs and hosts to have direct access to the PCs and hosts at the destination network. In NEM mode, the Cisco VPN hardware client obtains a private IP address from a DHCP server over the VPN tunnel.
