Site-to-Site VPN Configuration
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an encrypted network connection between devices on a network and provides the same network connectivity for remote users over a public infrastructure as they would have over a private network. Site-to-site VPNs securely connect multiple fixed sites over a public network using IPSec technology.
CVDM-VPNSM allows you to manage and configure site-to-site VPNs on your device, which includes configuring crypto connections and GRE tunnels.
This chapter contains the following topics:
•
Configuring Site-to-Site VPNs
•
Configuring Site-to-Site VPNs
To view information about the site-to-site VPNs configured on the device, click Setup at the top of the window and click Site-to-Site from the left-most pane to display the main Site-to-Site VPN page (see Figure 3-1). This page displays all site-to-site crypto connections with and without crypto maps.

Configuring Crypto Connections
Click Setup at the top of the window, click Site-to-Site from the left-most pane, and select Crypto Connections from the selector to display the main Crypto Connections page.
Note
The upper portion of the Crypto Connections page contains a graphical display of the crypto connection configured on the device. The lower portion of the page shows the following information.
From this page, you can access functions to do the following:
•
•
•
Adding Crypto Connections
You can create crypto connections between the inside VLAN and the outside port on this site-to-site VPN.
Note
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Interface VLAN field
Specify the interface VLAN, which is the Layer 3 VLAN that contains only the VPN module inside port.
Before a router can forward the packets using the correct routing table entries, the router needs to know which interface that a packet was received on. For each port VLAN, you need to create another VLAN so that the packets from every switch outside port are presented to the router with the corresponding VLAN number.
Note
You can create a VLAN or select from an available VLAN.
Click
and do one of the following:
•
•
You can select Clear VLAN to clear the VLAN that is specified in this field.
IP Address field
Enter the IP address of the interface VLAN.
Mask list
Select the subnet mask of the interface VLAN from the list or enter it in the field.
Crypto Map field
Specify the crypto map attached to the interface VLAN. Click
You can also clear the crypto map entry by clicking
Note
Connection Mode radio button
Specify the connection mode; you can select the Access/Trunk radio button to specify an access port or trunk port as the outside port, or you can select the Routed Port radio button to specify a routed port as the outside port.
If you select the Access/Trunk radio button, do the following:
•
–
–
You can select Clear VLAN to clear the VLAN that is specified in this field.
•
to open the Port Selector dialog box. For more information, see Port Selector.
•
If you select the Routed Port radio button, you must select a routed port. From the Routed Port field, click
Standby Group Name field
Specify the Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) standby group name. Click
An HSRP group is a set of routers that work together as a single virtual router to the hosts on the network. The group name should be unique for all VLANs.
Standby IP Address field
Specify the IP address (instead of the VLAN IP address) that is used for the VPN connection.
Priority field
Enter the HSRP priority value. The default value is 100. The range of values you can use is 0 to 255.
The router with the highest priority immediately becomes the active router. Priority is determined first by the configured priority value, and then by the IP address. In each case, a higher value is of greater priority.
Preempt check box
Select this check box to enable HSRP preemption; this allows the device with highest priority to immediately become the active router. Priority is determined first by the HSRP priority value, then by IP address.
Next, do the following:
•
•
Minimum (Sec) field
Enter the time, in seconds, to postpone the local router from taking over the active role.
The default value is 1. The range of values you can use is 0 to 10000.
Reload (Sec) field
Enter the time, in seconds, to postpone the local router from taking over the active role after the router has reloaded. This delay value applies to the first interface-up event after the router has reloaded.
The default value is 5. The range of values you can use is 0 to 10000.
Hello Interval (Sec) field
Enter the time, in seconds, between hello packets before other devices declare the active router to be down.
The default value is 3. The range of values you can use is 1 to 254.
You can select the Millisecond check box to enter the hello interval in milliseconds. The range of values you can use is 15 to 254000.
Hold Time (Sec) field
Enter the hold time, in seconds, before other devices declare the active router to be down.
The default value is 10. The range of values you can use is 1 to 256.
You can select the Millisecond check box to enter the hold time in milliseconds. The range of values you can use is 50 to 256000.
Track Interfaces table
You can add interfaces and VLANs to track. Interface tracking allows you to specify another interface on the device for the HSRP process to monitor and to alter the HSRP priority for a given group. If the line protocol of the specified interface goes down, the HSRP priority of this device is reduced, allowing another HSRP device with higher priority to become active.
You can do the following:

Clear All button
Click to remove all ports listed in the Selected Port(s) table and put them back in the Available Ports table.
Selected Port(s) column
Displays all selected ports. With either Access or Trunk port mode selected, the ports listed here are assigned to the VLAN specified in the VLAN field.
The Name field indicates the name of a selected port.
Note
