Let me preface this by saying I do not know what is on the lab with respect
to VPNs. Having said that, an IPSec VPN is actually surprisingly simple to
configure if you're using pre-shared keys. Others on this have posted
their configs recently and have made excellent recommendations about what
to read on Cisco's web site, so I will not duplicate this. I'll just add
that this is something that is worth debugging and watching on both the
sides until you're really familiar with the sequence of events involved in
setting up and establishing the VPN.

Use:
 deb cry ipsec
 deb cry isak
 deb cry engin

  show cry ipsec sa (quick way to see if you're really encrypting: encaps
and decaps should increment as traffic flows over the VPN)
  show cry isak
  show cry map

HTH,
Mike
