Basic VPN Configuration
This paper focuses on the integration of VPN services to HP thin clients and blade PCs. As such, we
are exploring only configuration settings that are pertinent to these clients. This does not exhaust all
possible VPN configurations, and in a production environment, you may wish to validate many more
OS configuration components than are discussed in this reference white paper. For full documentation
on the possible setup options for the Cisco VPN3000 appliance, please see

Instructions below step through a basic Virtual-IP VPN configuration from a public network to private
LAN. As previously mentioned, the public network is Class-C with scope 10.1.1.x/255. The Cisco
VPN3000 Concentrator, like other servers/services on the public interface, has a fixed IP address at
10.1.1.2 and bridges to the private Class C network with scope 10.2.2.x/255.
