Scenario 3: Site-to-Site VPN Configuration

Site-to-site VPN (Virtual Private Networking) features provided by the adaptive security appliance

enable businesses to extend their networks across low-cost public Internet connections to business

partners and remote offices worldwide while maintaining their network security. A VPN connection

enables you to send data from one location to another over a secure connection, or "tunnel," first by

authenticating both ends of the connection, and then by automatically encrypting all data sent between

the two sites.

Figure 6 shows an example VPN tunnel between two adaptive security appliances.

Creating a VPN site-to-site deployment such as the one in Figure 6 requires you to configure two

adaptive security appliances, one on each side of the connection.

ASDM provides a configuration wizard to guide you through the process of configuring a site-to-site

VPN.
