You should use Cisco's VPN client software to establish a Cisco VPN connection via an AirPort Extreme base station. Note: In the Cisco VPN client preferences, make sure the "NAT-T" option is enabled.
Note: Some corporate firewall configurations may cause issues with the Cisco VPN software.
Please contact AppleCare support if you are unable to contact a Cisco VPN server via Cisco VPN client software and an AirPort Extreme base station.

Typically, when a USB disk is connected to an AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11n), it will automatically become available to users of the network. However, if that option is disabled in AirPort Disk Utility (Mac OS X) or AirPort Disks (Windows), or the network user declines, it can still be accessed using any of appropriate steps below. By default, a user can access the AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11n) over IP by entering the IP address 10.0.1.1.
If you are unsure of the IP address of your AirPort Extreme (802.11n), use AirPort Utility (Mac OS X)

An AirPort Extreme (802.11n) base station can be configured to forward multiple ports from the Internet to inside your NAT/network.
Enter the port XXX-YYY as shown below. Note that there are no spaces in the port range.
After you have installed and updated AirPort Utility, the application "AirPort Admin Utility" is renamed to "AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow".
AirPort Admin Utility for Graphic and Snow can be used to configure earlier AirPort base stations, but not to configure an AirPort Extreme (802.11n) base station. If you have one of these older base stations, you can still configure it using the AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow.

With AirPort Utility and Mac OS X, you can use an Access Control List (ACL) to restrict access to your AirPort base station network to specific computers that you specify. You can export an Access Control list as a text file with AirPort Admin Utility, then use AirPort Utility to upload the list to a new AirPort Extreme (802.11n) base station.
To import an existing Access Control list:
Open AirPort Utility in Mac OS X and select the base station you will be sending the list to.
Configure the base station manually by choosing Manual Setup from the Base Station menu or
