Product Description

Access VPDN Solutions Guide provides readers with a complete, concise, solutions-based book that shows you how to deploy Virtual Private Dial Networks (VPDNs). Using integrated solution documents (ISDs) as the organizing principle, this book includes IOS software command and configuration material to support the solutions. It begins with a technology description that defines VPDNs and summarizes VPDN services, tunneling technoloties, and encryption methods; it then progresses to describe three distinct solutions for deploying VPDNs that apply to a variety of service provider and enterprise networking environments.

• Command reference and configuration material serves as a valuable reference tool
• Readers learn from Cisco.-tested and proven solutions and configuration examples
• Solutions apply to a variety of service provider and enterprise networking professionals
• Concise design and application information details how to integrate specific IOS software feature functionality within an existing network environment

Cisco IOS(r) Documentation Solutions for access VPDN networks

• Learn from Cisco-tested and Cisco-proven solutions and configuration examples
• Concise design and application information details how to integrate specific Cisco IOS software feature functionality within an existing network environment
• Solutions apply to a variety of service provider and enterprise networking professionals
• Learn to configure two new access VPDN services: NAS-initiated L2TP dial-out and client-initiated PPTP dial-in with MPPE encryption
• Demonstrates VPDN features in the context of specific network environments
• Includes valuable command reference and configuration materials

An access virtual private dial-up network (VPDN) is a network that provides remote dial access to users over a shared infrastructure. Access VPDNs use Layer 2 tunneling technologies to create virtual point-to-point connections between remote users and a central network. These tunneling technologies use the Internet to provide the same direct connectivity as the expensive Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

Access VPDN Solutions Guide is a complete, concise, solutions-based book that shows how to deploy VPDNs. The book begins with a technology description that defines VPDNs and summarizes VPDN services, tunneling technologies, and encryption methods. From there, you learn about three distinct solutions for deploying VPDNs. Two of these solutions feature complete design and implementation guides, and the third demonstrates adding IPSec encryption to an existing L2TP network. Two new VPDN features are covered in the appendixes, which also include debug output and a command summary that describes all the Cisco(r) Internet Operating System (IOS) commands discussed in the book.

Cisco IOS(r) software is a feature-rich network operating system that runs on almost every platform and device Cisco offers. Cisco customers who use Cisco IOS documentation have requested more robust and more complete configuration examples to help in their day-to-day implementation of Cisco IOS. The Cisco Systems(r) IOS Documentation department has met that customer demand by creating a new documentation type called an integrated solutions document (ISD). ISDs provide concise design and application information, explaining how to integrate specific feature functionality within an existing network environment. By combining solutions-based ISDs with Cisco IOS configuration and command reference material, Access VPDN Solutions Guide provides you with a complete Cisco VDPN deployment guide.

This book is part of the Cisco Press Networking Technologies Series, which offers networking professionals valuable information for constructing efficient networks, understanding new technologies, and building successful careers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Outstanding, February 7, 2002

By	Carlo Ancilli (Pisa, Italy) - See all my reviews

The authors have done an excellent job of cramming a great deal of useful information into a concise guide to Cisco VPDN.
This book is pretty well written, is covered in a clear and easy to read manner and It's so excellent for the theoretical explanation of VPDN.
It explains as well how to configure the ios in so many different networking scenarios.
Finally, you get quality with this one.
