Using Cisco QuickVPN
Overview
This appendix explains how to install and use the Cisco QuickVPN software that
can be downloaded from
Cisco.com
. QuickVPN works with computers running
Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 2000. (Computers using
other operating systems will have to use third-party VPN software.)

Before You Begin
Users can use Cisco QuickVPN to connect to this router after Remote
Management and user records are enabled. Clients can connect to servers on the
RV220W default LAN, but no other subnets.
IMPORTANT:
The LANs that are connected by a VPN tunnel cannot use the same
LAN IP address range. As a best practice, configure this router with a different IP
address than the default LAN IP address (192.168.1.1), which is a common default
IP address for consumer and small business routers.
STEP 1
To support a VPN on this router, enable remote management to open the port used
for VPN. See
Remote Management, page 157
.
STEP 2
Create user accounts for your QuickVPN users. See
Configuring VPN Users,
page 122
. After a user account is created, the credentials can be used by the
Quick VPN client.
