implementation
This chapter shows how the facilities provided by IPSec can be used in practice to create secure VPNs. The examples use Cisco® routers and Windows® 2000/XP workstations. These devices have been chosen because they are widely used and most readers will have access to hardware similar to that discussed in the examples. Two common requirements are discussed: providing a secure VPN tunnel between two private networks, for example a remote site or office and a main campus, and providing a secure remote access service for staff working at home.

However the purpose of a VPN is to allow a remote host or site to become part of the LAN, and so the security measures used to guard against intrusion from the Internet must be selectively circumvented to allow the VPN to work.
