PIX to Cisco Secure VPN Client with a Preshared Key
Complete the tasks outlined in this Practical Exercise. Also
review the Practical Exercise solution to see how you did and to see what
concepts you might need to review.
In this Practical Exercise, you are the administrator of a PIX
firewall that will be the terminating endpoint for VPNs from a VPN client.
Background Information
You will configure a VPN client to connect to a PIX firewall
using wildcards, mode-config, and the sysopt
connection permit-ipsec command. This is used to implicitly permit any
packet that came from an IPSec tunnel. It bypasses the checking of an associated
access list, conduit, or access group command statement for IPSec connections.
The user will have access to everything on your network. You will use the
topology illustrated in Figure
14-10.

create the connection IPSec settings:
-
- Create the connection.
-
- Identify the remote peer.
-
- Identify the Phase 1 information.
