| 14.7 |  | The Cisco VPN Client |
| 14.7.5 |  | Configuring a VPN Client for a PIX-to-VPN Client tunnel |

| The VPN Client is a graphical user interface (GUI) that is easy to operate and has very few configuration options. Step 1 Create a new connection entry, such as vpnpeer1, as shown in Figure . The hostname or IP address of the peer should be that of the PIX Security Appliance outside interface.

Step 2 Authentication must be correctly configured on the VPN Client . If the method of authentication is pre-shared keys, then the group name, in this case student1, must match the VPN group name on the PIX. The password is the pre-shared key, which matches the VPN group password. Digital certificates may be used in place of pre-shared keys.
