Hi Vikrant,

Start by reading here:

Here are some examples and tips for GRE:

And here for DMVPN (probably interesting for you if you'll have multiple branch offices connecting to a same hub?)

So first you'll need to decide what type of VPN exactly it is you want, and then compare with the capabilities of your router.

Cheers,
