The IPsec Remote Access feature introduces server support for the Cisco VPN Client (Release 4.x and 5.x) software clients and the Cisco VPN hardware clients. This feature allows remote users to establish the VPN tunnels to securely access the corporate network resources. Centrally managed IPsec policies are “pushed” to remote VPN clients by the VPN server, minimizing configuration by end users.
