This chapter introduces the hardware platforms for Cisco's VPN 3002 Hardware Client and the VPN 3000 Concentrator series. It is crucial that you understand the hardware aspect of the equipment before the actual configuration to provide a foundation for the components that you are configuring. Table 3.1 illustrates the Cisco VPN Concentrator and Client offerings and the locations in which you would implement these appliances.

SOHO Cisco VPN 3002 Hardware Client
The 3002 Hardware Client provides hardware stability for small offices in which remote access VPN tunnels to the main office are required. Instead of installing the software client on multiple end-devices, the Cisco VPN 3002 Hardware Client offloads that responsibility onto itself by initiating the VPN tunnel on behalf of the clients behind it. This functionality, known as Client mode, utilizes Port Address Translation (PAT) to hide the devices behind the hardware client. The 3002 can also support site-to-site connectivity in Network Extension mode. Configuration is simple because of its pushed-policy feature in which the 3002 inherits configuration parameters from the head-end VPN concentrator.
The VPN 3002 Hardware Client is capable of providing up to 10Mbps of throughput of unencrypted data and 2.2Mbps of software-based encrypted data over a single VPN tunnel. It comes standard with a public 10/100 Ethernet interface, which connects to an external Internet WAN router. The CVPN-3002 model has a single private 10/100 Ethernet interface, whereas the CVPN-3002-8E model has an embedded auto-MDIX 8-port switch. The fact that this appliance does not need to rely on unstable computer platforms and can maintain substantial throughput, means the VPN 3002 Hardware Client is a robust solution in comparison to software-based clients. Figure 3.1 illustrates the CVPN 3002-8E model.

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
Before you remove or install the AIP SSM or the CSC SSM in the Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliances, please read the Working in an ESD Environment section in this document and the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance document on Cisco.com or on the product CD that ships with the chassis.
Working in an ESD Environment
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when you remove and replace components. Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted ESD voltages. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Before You Begin
Save the current VPN 3005 or VPN 3002 configuration file and copy it to a remote system before you proceed. See the Administration | File Management | TFTP Transfer screen in the VPN Concentrator Manager.
Parts Cisco Supplies
The battery upgrade kit includes these parts:
•New battery—M4T28 part number prefix.
•Disposable wrist strap ESD protection kit.
•Documentation.
Tools You Need
No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Shutting Down and Powering Off
Shut down and power off the VPN 3005 Concentrator or VPN 3002 Hardware Client before you install the module.
Step 1 Using the VPN Concentrator Manager, shut down the VPN 3005/3002 (see the Administration | System Reboot screen).
Step 2 Turn power off: press O on the power switch on the rear of the chassis.
Step 3 Disconnect power cord from the system and the power outlet.
Step 4 Disconnect all network cables and the console cable.
Warning Hazardous voltages and the risk of electrical shock may be present inside the VPN Concentrator chassis. Always disconnect the power cord before removing the chassis cover. Never operate the VPN Concentrator with the cover removed.
Changing the Battery on the VPN 3005 Concentrator
After you shut down the VPN 3005/3002 and disconnect the power cord, you can change the battery.
Step 1 Remove the VPN 3005 Concentrator chassis cover. Four screws hold it in place. Pull the cover back and lift it off. Do not let screws fall into the unit.

Step 5 Remove the new battery from its ESD envelope.
Step 6 Orient and install the new battery as shown in Figure 4. The correct battery to use has a part number prefix of M4T28.
•The battery has five keying tabs that prevent incorrect insertion. If the battery will not insert, check to ensure the keying tabs match the corresponding slots in the socket. Be sure to install the battery with the lettering in the same direction as the battery you just removed.
•The connector is tight; you may need to wiggle the battery gently to seat it.

Step 7 Remove the wrist strap connector from chassis.
Step 8 Replace chassis cover with its four screws. Slide the cover toward the front of the chassis then insert the screws.
Testing the Battery
After you have installed the new battery, to test it follow these steps.
Step 1 Connect network cables and the console cable.
Step 2 Connect power cord to the power supply module, and plug the power cord into a power outlet that provides a reliable Earth ground.
Step 3 Turn power on: press | on the power switch. Confirm that the front-panel System LED is ON (green).
Step 4 If the System LED is not ON, ensure that the battery is seated fully.
Step 5 Reset the admin password and turn the unit off.
Step 6 Wait ten seconds and turn the power back on.
Step 7 Confirm that the VPN 3005 recognizes the new admin password after the power cycle.
