Use your Cisco as a PPTP VPN Server
Hey,
If you're lazy like me and wish to set up a PPTP VPN Server instead of a Cisco IPSec one, you can with Virtual Private Dialup Networking (VPDN).
It's pretty easy.
In this example I will not be configuring any authentication other than local.
RouterA(config)# aaa authentication ppp default local
Enable Virtual Private Dialup Networking
RouterA(config)# vpdn enable
Define a VPDN Group, specify protocol and assign a Virtual Template interface. This will be used for incoming connections.
RouterA(config)# vpdn-group MyPPTPGroup
RouterA(config-vpdn)# accept-dialin
RouterA(config-vpdn-acc-in)# protocol pptp
RouterA(config-vpdn-acc-in)# virtual-template 1
Define some servers on your local network. These will be assigned to PPTP Clients.
RouterA(config)# async-bootp dns-server 192.168.0.32
RouterA(config)# async-bootp nbns-server 192.168.0.32
Set up the Virtual Template interface
RouterA(config)# interface Virtual-Template1
RouterA(config-if)# ip unnumbered Vlan1
RouterA(config-if)# peer default ip address pool PPTP-Pool
RouterA(config-if)# no keepalive
RouterA(config-if)# ppp encrypt mppe 128
RouterA(config-if)# ppp authentication ms-chap ms-chap-v2
Specify our local address pool
RouterA(config)# ip local pool PPTP-Pool 192.168.0.200 192.168.0.210 ! Same range as my Vlan 1
To see who's connected, do a show users
Nice and easy huh? At least we don't have to worry about pushing Cisco VPN Clients to everyone.
