Assumptions
Assumptions
This guide assumes the following:
• You have successfully installed, powered on, and initially configured your Cisco 7100
series router for network connectivity based on the procedures explained in the
Cisco 7100 Series VPN Router Installation and Configuration Guide.
• You are configuring a service provider transparent VPN, whereby the tunnel endpoints
are outside of the service provider network (on the headquarters and remote site
routers).
• You are configuring your VPN based on IP and the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
routing protocol, and cryptography and tunneling technologies such as IPSec and GRE.
• You have Certification Authority (CA) interoperability configured on your Cisco 7100
series router. CA interoperability is provided by the ISM in support of the IPSec
standard. It permits Cisco IOS devices and CAs to communicate sothat yourCisco IOS
device can obtain and use digital certificates from the CA. Although IPSec can be
implemented in your network without the use of a CA, using a CA provides
manageability and scalability for IPSec.
Note The scenarios in this guide do not explain how to configure CA interoperability
on your Cisco 7100 series router. For detailed configuration information on CA
interoperability, refer to the “Configuring Certification Authority Interoperability”
chapter in the Security Configuration Guide.
• You have a network management solution, such as CiscoWorks 2000, CiscoView,
CiscoWorks 2000 Access Control List Manager, Cisco QoS Policy Manager, or Cisco
Internetwork Performance Monitor 2.0, configured on your Cisco 7100 series router.
For information on network management applications, refer to the network
management product documentation on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) and the
Documentation CD-ROM.
