Does Vista VPN Server support IKE?

[Peter]

Hi,

My goal is to set up a VPN tunnel from our main office to our branch
office.

To accomplish this, I need a handshake between Vista VPN Server (main
office) and D-Link 804 router (branch office).

For this, I believe the VPN Server must support a protocol called IKE.

Does Vista VPN Server support this protocol?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Pete

Hi Pete,
You can use an L2TP/IPSec tunnel between the two sites. IPSec uses
IKE for the setup of Secure Associations. THis is supported. However, to use
this, you would need Windows Server on both sides. For setup of a tunnel
between a Windows server and a router you might have to use IPSec tunnel
mode which also uses IKE for the setup of Secure Associations.

thanks

You must be refering IPSec tunnel mode between two sites. THis is supported.
It is independent of VPNYou dont need VPN for that.
