How to Create a Site-To-Site VPN Topology

In this video, Knox Hutchinson covers how to configure Site-to-Site VPNs. This is one of the most complicated configurations in all of security appliance configurations. Between IPSec protocols, Phase 1 and Phase 2 tunneling, encryption, hashing, and authentication options, it can be overwhelming. What you’ll learn here will simplify the process substantially.

Site-to-site VPNs are incredibly flexible because there are so many ways to customize what you’re doing. Unfortunately, for the same reason, they can be incredibly confusing. Knox begins by identifying his subnets and the branch site he’s targeting for the other side of the VPN.

He’ll discuss the theory behind secure tunneling, explain how difficult establishing these secure tunnels is when it’s done manually, and then demonstrate how easy it is to do with Meraki. You’ll watch as he initiates a site-to-site VPN connection, then walks through each step of the process and explains what he is doing in this short video.

What if I want Remote Access instead of Site-to-Site? I have a few Meraki Z3C and an employee going on a trip to Europe, he needs access to our network over here.

I have created site-to-site VPN. But I cannot access the devices which has no gateway settings. How can I get access to these remote devices? Thank You
