Synopsis
This book provides network managers, LAN administrators and small business operators with all they need to know to "interconnect" multiple locations or travelling employees that need to access a single location. The operation and utilization of virtual private networks is discussed both in theory and practicality, covering the technical aspects associated with encryption and digital certificates as well as the manner by which readers can create VPNs using readily available products from Microsoft, Cisco, Checkpoint and possibly other vendors.
The author was among the first to write about the concept of virtual private networking in a series of articles published over five years ago, and in the intervening years this has become a very hot topic - with the technology being increasing deployed by companies.
Virtual Private Networking, by Gilbert Held, covers the technology and the theory, but also shows readers, through numerous examples, 'how to use ' the technology.

From the Back Cover
A guide to delivering secure remote access to private enterprise networks.
Using the public communications infrastructure to connect remoteusers to an organization's network is a cost-effective and efficient way to provide communication and collaboration opportunities across large distances. But how is private information kept private in a public network? And how may access be restricted to authorized individuals? Virtual Private networks (VPNs) hold the answer.
In Virtual Private Networking, Gil Held gives a detailed overview of the various VPN solutions available, how they are constructed, the rationale for their use, and which solutions satisfy which operational requirements. Detailed information on specific products available from vendors such as Cisco® and Checkpoint® together with hands-on examples on how to configure client and server in a Microsoft® Windows® operating environment, make this a supremely practical tutorial for practicing network managers and administrators
Read on for:
- Information on appropria te authenication and encryption techniques
- A tutorial on TCP/IP focused specifically at creating and operating VPNs
- In-depth discussion on tunneling protocols PPTP and L2TP
- A comparison of commonly used security protocols IPSec and SSL
- The rationale for service provider-based VPNs and advice on service level agreement parameters to consider when using a VPN service provider
