Remote Access Networks And Services

Expert Oliver C. Ibe provides you with the technical background you need to confidently select and implement the best remote access technologies for your company's network. He fills you in on everything you should know about how remote traffic is processed from source to network, and the technologies, services, and protocols it is likely to encounter along the way. He also acquaints you with all the remote access devices currently on the market, and describes, in detail, how each will perform with legacy networking services and technologies. With the help of numerous illustrations and time flow diagrams, and a complete glossary of technical terms, he provides clear, detailed coverage of: * xDSL, HFC, FTTC, FTTH, and other broadband access technologies. * Remote access performance with legacy and emerging technologies and services. * Remote access network security including basic security services, cryptographic systems, IP security protocols, and Web security. * Firewalls and firewall architectures. * Virtual Private Network (VPN) architectures and implementations. * VPN applications including intranets, extranets, and voice over IP. * Wireless remote access services. * Mobile data networking including CDPD, mobile IP, and short message services.

As technology advances, the demand and necessity for seamless connectivity and stable access to servers and networks is increasing exponentially. Unfortunately the few books out there on remote access focus on Cisco certification preparation, one aspect of network connectivity or security. This text covers both-the enabling technology and how to ma

An increasing number of companies are designing and implementing Remote Access Networks, which allow users who are not physically connected to a Wide Area Network (WAN) or Local Area Network (LAN) to access the network's servers, applications and databases or to participate in video conferencing and conference calls. The ability for a remote user to function as if they were in the next office dramatically improves overall efficiency while reducing total cost of ownership. Cisco Systems, the world's largest internetworking vendor, is the pioneer of the enabling technologies for Remote Access Networks. This book will identify and explain all of the Cisco products necessary for designing and building a remote access network and integrating it with legacy systems. This book is a professional reference detailing all of the strategies, tactics and methods for designing, configuring and maintaining Cisco Remote Access Networks. It will include thorough discussions of all Cisco Access Servers and routers. * Demand for information on remote access networks is growing quickly at corporate and administrator level * Cisco remote access networks appeal to businesses as they provide efficient and secure connectivity at reduced cost * Book includes thorough discussions of all Cisco Access Servers and routers

Annotation In 1996, Windows NT 4 introduced the typical administrator to point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP) and later added the Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS) up20000517. Now, with the advent of VPN technology, Windows 2000 network adminstrators have the capability to roll out network designs that will save money, be faster and easier to administer and maintain, and will solve many connectivity problems that are inpractical to solve before. One of the most important changes in Windows 2000 is the addition of enhanced routing (the first "R" in "RRAS") and better remote client services (the "RAS"). The key uses of these features are found in Microsoft's new virtual private networks (VPN) technology. The ever increasing number of mobile workers, as well as the demand for Internet access from every desktop has changed the face of the traditional network.

Remote network access (RNA) is the network technology that enables us to work anywhere, anytime. Coverage includes a complete review of remote networking technologies and LAN-based applications.

SSL Remote Access VPNs An introduction to designing and configuring SSL virtual private networks Jazib Frahim, CCIE® No. 5459 Qiang Huang, CCIE No. 4937 Cisco® SSL VPN solutions (formerly known as Cisco WebVPN solutions) give you a flexible and secure way to extend networking resources to virtually any remote user with access to the Internet and a web browser. Remote access based on SSL VPN delivers secure access to network resources by establishing an encrypted tunnel across the Internet using a broadband (cable or DSL) or ISP dialup connection. SSL Remote Access VPNs provides you with a basic working knowledge of SSL virtual private networks on Cisco SSL VPN-capable devices. Design guidance is provided to assist you in implementing SSL VPN in existing network infrastructures. This includes examining existing hardware and software to determine whether they are SSL VPN capable, providing design recommendations, and guiding you on setting up the Cisco SSL VPN devices. Common deployment scenarios are covered to assist you in deploying an SSL VPN in your network. SSL Remote Access VPNs gives you everything you need to know to understand, design, install, configure, and troubleshoot all the components that make up an effective, secure SSL VPN solution. Jazib Frahim, CCIE® No. 5459, is currently working as a technical leader in the Worldwide Security Services Practice of the Cisco Advanced Services for Network Security. He is responsible for guiding customers in the design and implementation of their networks, with a focus on network security. He holds two CCIEs, one in routing and switching and the other in security. Qiang Huang, CCIE No. 4937, is a product manager in the Cisco Campus Switch System Technology Group, focusing on driving the security and intelligent services roadmap for market-leading modular Ethernet switching platforms. During his time at Cisco, Qiang has played an important role in a number of technology groups, including the Cisco TAC security and VPN team, where he was responsible for trouble-shooting complicated customer deployments in security and VPN solutions. Qiang has extensive knowledge of security and VPN technologies and experience in real-life customer deployments. Qiang holds CCIE certifications in routing and switching, security, and ISP Dial. Understand remote access VPN technologies, such as Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F), Layer 2 Tunneling (L2TP) over IPsec, and SSL VPN Learn about the building blocks of SSL VPN, including cryptographic algorithms and SSL and Transport Layer Security (TLS) Evaluate common design best practices for planning and designing an SSL VPN solution Gain insight into SSL VPN functionality on Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Cisco IOS® routers Install and configure SSL VPNs on Cisco ASA and Cisco IOS routers Manage your SSL VPN deployment using Cisco Security Manager This security book is part of the Cisco Press® Networking Technology Series. Security titles from Cisco Press help networking professionals secure critical data and resources, prevent and mitigate network attacks, and build end-to-end self-defending networks.
