Example Site-to-Site VPN Network Topology

Scenario: Site-to-Site VPN
Configuration
This chapter describes how to use the adaptive security appliance to create a
site-to-site VPN.
Site-to-site VPN features provided by the adaptive security appliance enable
businesses to extend their networks across low-cost public Internet connections
to business partners and remote offices worldwide while maintaining their
network security. A VPN connection enables you to send data from one location
to another over a secure connection, or tunnel, first by authenticating both ends of
the connection, and then by automatically encrypting all data sent between the
two sites.
