Router and VPN Client for Public Internet on a Stick Configuration Example

Introduction

This document describes how to set up a central site router to perform IPsec traffic on a stick. This setup applies to a specific case where the router, without enabling split tunneling, and Mobile users (Cisco VPN Client) can access the Internet via the central site router. In order to achieve this, configure the policy map in the router to point all the VPN traffic (Cisco VPN Client) to a loopback interface. This allows the Internet traffic to be port address translated (PATed) to the outside world.

Refer to PIX/ASA 7.x and VPN Client for Public Internet VPN on a Stick Configuration Example in order to complete a similar configuration on a central site PIX Firewall.

Note: In order to avoid the overlapping of IP addresses in the network, assign the entirely different pool of IP addresses to the VPN Client (for example, 10.x.x.x , 172.16.x.x, 192.168.x.x). This IP addressing scheme helps you to troubleshoot your network.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

• Cisco Router 3640 with Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.4

• Cisco VPN Client 4.8

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

VPN Client 4.8 Configuration

Complete these steps in order to configure the VPN Client 4.8.

1. Choose Start > Programs > Cisco Systems VPN Client > VPN Client.

2. Click New in order to launch the Create New VPN Connection Entry window.

   

3. Enter the name of the Connection Entry along with a description, enter the outside IP address of the router in the Host box, and enter the VPN Group name and password. Click Save.

   

4. Click on the connection you would like to use and click Connect from the VPN Client main window.

   

5. When prompted, enter the Username and Password information for Xauth and click OK in order to connect to the remote network.

   

6. The VPN Client gets connected with the router at the central site.

   

7. Choose Status > Statistics in order to check the tunnel statistics of the VPN Client.
