The VPN 3002 Hardware Client Reference provides guidelines for configuring the Cisco VPN 3002, details on all the functions available in the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager, and instructions for using the VPN 3002 Command Line Interface.
We assume you have read the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Getting Started manual and have followed the minimal configuration steps in Quick Configuration. That section of the VPN Hardware Client Manager is not described here.
We also assume you are an experienced system administrator or network administrator with appropriate education and training, who knows how to install, configure, and manage internetworking systems. However, virtual private networks and VPN devices might be new to you. You should be familiar with Windows system configuration and management, and you should be familiar with Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator or Communicator browsers.
This manual is organized by the order in which sections appear in the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager table of contents (the left frame of the Manager browser window; see Figure 1-35 in "Using the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager."
| Chapter | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
Chapter 1 | Using the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager | Explains how to log in, navigate, and use the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager with a browser. It explains both HTTP and HTTPS browser connections, and how to install the SSL certificate for a secure (HTTPS) connection. |
Chapter 2 | Configuration | Describes the main VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager configuration screen. |
Chapter 3 | Interfaces | Explains how to configure the VPN 3002 private and public interfaces. |
Chapter 4 | System Configuration | Describes the system configuration screen of the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager. |
Chapter 5 | Servers | Explains how to configure the VPN 3002 to communicate with DNS servers to convert hostnames to IP addresses. |
Chapter 6 | Tunneling | Explains how to configure IPSec. |
Chapter 7 | IP Routing | Explains how to configure static routes, default gateways, and DHCP parameters and options. |
Chapter 8 | Management Protocols | Explains how to configure built-in VPN 3002 servers that provide management functions:, HTTP and HTTPS, Telnet, SNMP, SNMP Community Strings, SSL and SSH. |

Appendix B | Troubleshooting and System Errors | Describes common errors that may occur while configuring the system, and how to correct them. It also describes all system and module LED indicators. |
Refer to the following documents for further information about Cisco VPN 3000 Series applications and products.
The VPN 3002 Hardware Client Getting Started manual provides information to take you from unpacking and installing the VPN 3002, through configuring the minimal parameters to make it operational (called Quick Configuration). This manual is online only.
The VPN 3002 Hardware Client Quick Start Card summarizes the information for quick configuration. This quick reference card is provided with the VPN 3002 and is also available online.
The VPN 3002 Hardware Client Basic Information sticky label summarizes information for quick configuration. It is provided with the VPN 3002 and you can also print it from the online version; you can affix the label to the VPN 3002.
The HTML interface, called the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager, includes online help that you can access by clicking the Help icon on the toolbar in the Manager window.
The VPN 3000 Series Concentrator Reference Volume I: Configuration explains how to start and use the VPN Concentrator Manager. It details the Configuration screens and explains how to configure your device beyond the minimal parameters you set during quick configuration.
The VPN 3000 Series Concentrator Reference Volume II: Administration and Monitoring provides guidelines for administering and monitoring the VPN Concentrator. It explains and defines all functions available in the Administration and Monitoring screens of the VPN Concentrator Manager. Appendixes to this manual provide troubleshooting guidance and explain how to access and use the alternate command-line interface.
The VPN Concentrator Manager also includes online help that you can access by clicking the Help icon on the toolbar in the Manager window.
The VPN Client User Guide explains how to install, configure, and use the VPN Client, which lets a remote client use the IPSec tunneling protocol for secure connection to a private network through the VPN Concentrator.
The VPN Client Administrator Guide tells how to configure a VPN Concentrator for remote user connections using the VPN Client, how to automate remote user profiles, how to use the VPN Client command-line interface, and how to get troubleshooting information.
The VPN 3000 Series Concentrator and VPN 3002 Hardware Client documentation are provided on the VPN 3000 Concentrator software distribution CD-ROM in PDF format. The VPN Client documentation is included on the VPN Client software distribution CD-ROM, also in PDF format. To view the latest versions on the Cisco web site, click the Support icon on the toolbar at the top of the VPN Concentrator Manager, Hardware Client Manager, or Client window. To open the documentation, you need Acrobat® Reader 3.0 or later; version 4.5 is included on the Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator software distribution CD-ROM and on the VPN Client software distribution CD-ROM.
