Chapter 6
IP security and VPN
This chapter explains how to configure IP security to use the Instant Internet unit
and a Contivity Extranet Switch (CES) or two Instant Internet units in a virtual
private network (VPN).
Understanding virtual private networking
Instant Internet includes IP security (IPsec) virtual private networking (VPN)
capabilities designed to establish a tunnel with a Contivity Extranet Switch (CES),
another Instant Internet unit at different location, or other IPsec-compliant
devices. A VPN is a special type of connection that permits remote users or LANs
to communicate with another LAN over a public network, such as the Internet.
When you set up a VPN, you are essentially using a public network as your own
private, secure network. When users connect through the VPN, you incur only the
local toll charges to your ISP.
To create a VPN, a special connection, called a “tunnel,” is first established
between the two sites. Tunnels allow private IP traffic to flow across the Internet,
including NetBIOS information (for Windows networking) encapsulated within
IP packets. Through the tunnel, all IP-based resources and applications on the
remote LAN become available to the local site.
