PPTP-based persistent branch office

The Chicago branch office is a PPTP-based branch office that uses a router running Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, to create a persistent, router-to-router VPN connection with the corporate office router in New York. The connection is never terminated even when idle.

To deploy a PPTP, two-way initiated, persistent, router-to-router VPN connection to the corporate office based on the settings configured in Common configuration for the VPN server and Persistent Branch Office, the following settings are configured on the corporate router and Chicago router.

VPN server configuration

The VPN server is configured with a demand-dial interface and a static route.
