Cisco Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
Cisco provides multiple options for configuring a VPN solution, so you can select the option that most closely fits your operational needs. You can set up both remote connectivity and office-to-office Virtual Private Networks with Cisco IOS Software, through utilities and Advanced Integrated Module (AIM) hardware encryption cards, or with hardware devices, such as a Virtual Private Network concentrator, router, Cisco ASA 5500-X firewalls with Firepower Services, or devoted VPN processor for dial-up functions. All Cisco VPN approaches are simple to deploy and manage and provide the versatility to grow along with your changing operational needs.
