setting up site to site VPN on cisco pix 501

you will start with collecting these information:

3 internet addresses and 3 LAN addresses that they will be using.

you would use the command:
UK PIX:
#crypto map outside_map 40 ipsec-isakmp
#crypto map outside_map 40 match address outside_cryptomap_40
#crypto map outside_map 40 set peer x.x.x.x
#crypto map outside_map 40 set transform-set ESP-DES-MD5

#isakmp key x.x.x.xaddress MEXASA netmask 255.255.255.255 no-xauth no-config-mode

#access-list outside_cryptomap_40 permit ip y.y.y.y 255.255.0.0 z.z.z.z 255.255.0.0

#sysopt connection permit-ipsec

Note
x.x.x.x is the new site internet IP
y.y.y.y is the UK LAN IP
z.z.z.z newsite LAN IP

hope this helps

thanks

were do i input the pre shared key?
once i have done that, is that the VPN connection setup or is there more to config. I persmue if that it once the remote site is configured the VPN will auto start.

and then i do excatly same for other sites just changing the new site internet ip and lan ip

thanks for your help, as i said i am very new to cisco. i have setup many vpn but using other GUI products.
