Overview/Description
An IP Security (IPSec) virtual private network (VPN) is a VPN that you deploy on a shared infrastructure using IPSec transmission protection technology. You can use site-to-site IPSec VPNs as an alternative to a WAN infrastructure to replace or augment existing private networks that interconnect enterprise sites and use leased-line or enterprise-owned Frame Relay and ATM networks. IPSec VPNs do not inherently change WAN requirements, such as support for multiple WAN Layer 2 protocols, high reliability, and extensive scalability, but instead meet these requirements more cost-effectively and with greater flexibility. This course provides you with configuration, verification, troubleshooting and general deployment guidelines for site-to-site IPSec VPN technologies available in Cisco IOS Software-based routers.
