Introduction

The SSL VPN Client (SVC) provides a full tunnel for secure communications to the corporate internal network. You can configure access on a user by user basis, or you can create different WebVPN contexts into which you place one or more users.

SSL VPN or WebVPN technology is supported on these IOS router platforms:

870, 1811, 1841, 2801, 2811, 2821, 2851
3725, 3745, 3825, 3845, 7200, and 7301

You can configure SSL VPN technology in these modes:

Clientless SSL VPN (WebVPN)—Provides a remote client that requires an SSL-enabled Web browser to access HTTP or HTTPS Web servers on a corporate local-area network (LAN). In addition, clientless SSL VPN provides access for Windows file browsing through the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. Outlook Web Access (OWA) is an example of HTTP access.
Refer to Clientless SSL VPN (WebVPN) on Cisco IOS with SDM Configuration Example in order to learn more about the Clientless SSL VPN.
Thin-Client SSL VPN (Port Forwarding)—Provides a remote client that downloads a small Java-based applet and allows secure access for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) applications that use static port numbers. Point of presence (POP3), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), secure shell (ssh), and Telnet are examples of secure access. Because files on the local machine change, users must have local administrative privileges to use this method. This method of SSL VPN does not work with applications that use dynamic port assignments, such as some file transfer protocol (FTP) applications.
Refer to Thin-Client SSL VPN (WebVPN) IOS Configuration Example with SDM in order to learn more about the Thin-Client SSL VPN.
Note: User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is not supported.
SSL VPN Client (SVC Full Tunnel Mode)—Downloads a small client to the remote workstation and allows full secure access to resources on an internal corporate network. You can download the SVC to a remote workstation permanently, or you can remove the client once the secure session is closed.

This document demonstrates the configuration of a Cisco IOS router for use by an SSL VPN Client.

Background Information

The SVC is initially loaded onto the WebVPN gateway router. Every time the client connects, a copy of the SVC is dynamically downloaded onto the PC. In order to change this behavior, configure the router to enable the software to remain permanently on the client computer.

Configure SVC on IOS

In this section, you are presented with the steps necessary to configure the features described in this document. This example configuration uses the SDM Wizard to enable the operation of the SVC on the IOS router.

Complete these steps in order to configure SVC on the IOS router:

Step 1. Install and Enable the SVC Software on the IOS Router

Complete these steps in order to install and enable the SVC software on the IOS router:
