CCSP Self-Study: Cisco Secure Virtual Private Networks (CSVPN) helps professionals and students sort out VPN options and applications by clearly presenting the information covered in the CSVPN course coupled with real-world examples. It will initially serve readers as a valuable study aid and continue to be an invaluable lab-based theory and configuration guide for years to come. This book covers the topic of establishing Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) using Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) protocols in conjunction with long-established encryption, authentication, and hashing protocols. It concentrates on the configuration of the VPN 3000 series of products, including concentrators, hardware clients, and software clients. How does this differ from the previous edition?This new book closely follows the topics that are required for the new CSVPN 642-511 exam, whereas the previous edition is related to the 2.0 CSVPN exam (9EO-570). New in the second edition is full, detailed coverage of the VPN 3000 Concentrator, a scalable remote access platform that offers encryption, high availability, and performance far superior to similar products.
