Study Notes
Introducing VPNs
- A VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows private networking via tunneling over public networks, primarily the Internet.
- Secure implementations often refer to IPsec VPNs, which provide encryption and enhanced security.
- VPN gateways, such as routers, firewalls, or Cisco ASAs (Adaptive Security Appliances), are essential for VPN functionality.
Benefits of VPNs
- Cost savings: VPNs enable organizations to utilize affordable, high-bandwidth technologies (e.g., DSL) for connecting remote locations.
- Scalability: Organizations can add considerable capacity without significant infrastructure investment.
- Compatibility with broadband technology: Facilitates mobile and telecommuting workers in accessing high-speed connectivity.
- Enhanced security: Employs advanced encryption and authentication protocols to protect data.
Types of VPNs
Site-to-Site VPNs
- Connects entire networks, such as linking a branch office to the main company network.
- End hosts communicate TCP/IP traffic through a VPN gateway.
- The gateway encapsulates and encrypts outbound traffic for added security.
Remote Access VPNs
- Designed for telecommuters, mobile users, and extranet traffic needs.
- Supports dynamic information changing and can be activated or deactivated as necessary.
- Connects individual devices securely to the company network over the Internet.
- VPN client software may need installation on the user's device for access.
DMVPN
- Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) is a Cisco solution for building multiple VPNs.
- Relies on several technologies:
- Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP): Creates a distributed mapping database for public IP addresses of tunnel spokes.
- Multipoint Generic Routing Encapsulation (mGRE) tunnels: Allows a single GRE interface to handle multiple IPsec tunnels.
- IP Security (IPsec) encryption: Ensures secure transport of private information across public networks.
