EDGE ROUTER

Is it possible to set up VPN on your edge router (cisco 2600 ?)

Yes, of course. You can update to an image that support IPSEC. This will give you a relatively slow throughput, so I suggest you purchase their AIM-VPM/BP encryption acceleration card that will bring your IPSEC throughput back up to respectible levels.

I'm just wondering how it works because we are using public ip-addreses between the edge router and firewall. What will happen when the packet is decrypted on the router and has a private ip-addres as destination ? Do you just have to route it to the firewall ? Can you tell me how exactly to set up LAN-to-LAN VPN between the two edge routers (cisco 2600 & 2514) ?
