Scenario: Site-to-Site VPN
Configuration
This chapter describes how to use the security appliance to create a site-to-site
VPN.
Site-to-site VPN features provided by the 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.
