Before You Begin
This chapter provides an overview of the business scenarios covered in this guide, items
you should consider before attempting to configure a Virtual Private Network (VPN) on
your Cisco 7100 series router, and the assumptions this guide makes.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Overview of Business Scenarios, page 2-1
• Considerations, page 2-3
• Assumptions, page 2-7
Overview of Business Scenarios
The business scenarios explained in this guide provide a remote office and a business
partner access to a corporate headquarters network through secure generic routing
encapsulation (GRE) and IP Security Protocol (IPSec) tunnels. (See Figure 2-1.)
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.
