VPN router without firewall?

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.vpn (More info?)

You will not find anything that doesn't have some level of NAT functionality. It doesn't mean you need to use the NAT features. You would likely want to install the VPN hardware in parallel with the firewall. You would need to make sure that the only traffic being passed by the VPN hardware relates to VPN tunnels.

I have implemented this scenario with Nortel Contivity 1010 equipment to give one example.
