This module primarily covers the Virtual Private Network (VPN) protocols
available in Cisco VPN capable devices. A VPN provides the same network
connectivity for remote users over a public infrastructure as they would have
over a private network. However, before allowing a user to access a network,
certain measures must be taken to ensure authenticity, data integrity, and
encryption. In this module, the student will learn about each of these measures
and also will be provided with an introduction to the two basic VPN types.
These are site-to-site and remote access VPNs.
Upon completion of this
module, the student will be able to discuss the protocols and devices used to
ensure authenticity, data integrity, and confidentiality with a VPN
connection.

NOTE:
It is required that the student study the commands covered in the
chapter using the labs and the Command Reference. Not all required commands are
covered in sufficient detail in the text alone. Successful completion of this
course requires a thorough knowledge of command syntax and application.
