© 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. CSVPN Summary Auto-initiation enables a Cisco VPN Software Client to establish an IPSec tunnel automatically. Auto-initiation is initiated after system restart, standby or hibernation mode, IP address change, auto-initiation configuration change, or IPSec tunnel disconnect. Auto-initiation parameters are added to the vpnclient.ini file via a text editor. A.pcf filename, network address, and subnet mask are needed for each site.
