You can configure a Services Router to participate in several types of virtual private networks (VPNs). A VPN allows remote sites and users to use a public communication infrastructure to create secure access to an organization's network. VPNs are a cost-effective alternative to expensive dedicated lines.
There are many ways to set up a VPN and direct traffic through it. This chapter describes the most common tasks involved in setting up a basic Layer 2 VPN, Layer 2 circuit, or Layer 3 VPN configuration.
