VPN

The video demonstrates various methods of EZVPN hardware client to initiate an IPSec connection. In this lab, the headend router is setup with Easy VPN (EZVPN) with Pre-shared key authentication, while the client is configured to run in Client Mode. We then explore different 'connect' and 'xauth' configuration options on the client side.

The video walks you through configuration of Easy VPN (EZVPN) with Pre-shared key and certificate authentication on a Cisco headend ASA firewall. The hardware client router is running Client Mode and configured to automatically connect using a locally stored credential. This video is a counterpart of SEC0015 and SEC0016 with the headend router. Here we introduce the concept of 'group-policy' and 'tunnel-group' that are unique to the ASA, while most crypto command syntax is very similar to those on a router.

The video walks you through configuration of Easy VPN (EZVPN) with Certificate authentication on a Cisco headend router. The hardware client router is running Client Mode and configured to automatically connect. Headend router already has a certificate installed through SCEP (See SEC0014 - Certificate Installation on Router and ASA), while we demonstrate a manual certificate import on the hardware client. XAuth can also be enabled concurrently, although we have XAuth disabled in this lab. 

The video walks you through configuration of Easy VPN (EZVPN) with Pre-shared key authentication on a Cisco headend router. The hardware client router is running Client Mode and configured to automatically connect using a locally stored credential. We demonstrate unique characteristics of Client mode where connections can only be initiated from the remote client as the client router performs PAT to the source IP. Any resources local to the client is inaccessible from the headend side.
