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 1-34 in "Using the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager."
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.

Customers and partners can obtain online documentation, troubleshooting tips, and sample configurations from the Cisco TAC website. Cisco.com registered users have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC website, including TAC tools and utilities.
Cisco.com offers a suite of interactive, networked services that let you access Cisco information, networking solutions, services, programs, and resources at any time, from anywhere in the world.
Cisco.com provides a broad range of features and services to help you with these tasks:
To obtain customized information and service, you can self-register on Cisco.com at this URL:
The Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC website and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center. The avenue of support that you choose depends on the priority of the problem and the conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.
We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:
You can use the Cisco TAC Web Site to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to this URL:
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. Some services on the Cisco TAC Web Site require a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to register:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/index.html
If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC website so that you can describe the situation in your own words and attach any necessary files.
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.
