851 to 887 VPN

[grunger106]

Hi

I have a site with a 887, they use VOIP and one user wants a phone at home (as remote extensions, firewalls and NAT, and voip don't really mix very well)

They have a dynamic IP on a cable line at the moment...

I was thinking of using, a 851, plugging thier cable modem into that and creating a site to site VPN tunnel to the 887.

Will the 851 do this? I don't want to spend money I don't have too...

Will this work generally? and with the dyanamic client IP (could I set up the 887 as an EZVPN server and the 851 as an EZVPN remote?)

Thanks

Hi Grunger

yes that should be no problem (assuming the 887 has a static ip address).

In fact this is what the "cisco virtual office" or CVO solution is based on:
