Site to site VPN, RV180W

[rob]

I am trying to create a site-to-site VPN connection using two RV180W routers.  Where can I find some detailed instructions?

Thanks

Hi

This is the guide provided by Cisco , go to page 115 of 187 top left

Site-to-Site Access with Gateway-to-Gateway VPN

Thanks for the reply Mark.  I just found out from my supplier the RV180 has been discontinued.  Since this is what I have at one site, is it ok to purchase any RV router like the RV320 DualWAN VPN Router for example and use that at the other site?

Thanks

Yes 320 is a newer model with more features such as load balancing, dual wan etc it will work fine

the 180 is end of sale with Cisco now thats probably why the wouldnt sell it to you

When configuring a site-to-site, in the advanced VPN Setup is a check box for auto initiate.  Should I check that off on the remote side?

Thanks

You should not need anything in the advanced tab to get it going there more extra options if required like some scenarios may require NAT traversal depending on the network , the vpn should still come up with just standard settings
