Chapter 1 Understanding the VPN 3000 Concentrator
Where the VPN Concentrator Fits in Your Network
Where the VPN Concentrator Fits in Your Network
Enterprise network configurations vary widely, but the VPN Concentrator is flexible and functional
enough to satisfy most applications. Figure 1-2 shows a typical installation, with the VPN Concentrator
configured in parallel with a firewall, and supporting both low-speed and high-speed remote users. In
some cases, the VPN Concentrator may be deployed behind the firewall; such a configuration is
firewall-vendor dependent and might require additional firewall configuration.
For LAN-to-LAN or branch office applications, place a second VPN Concentrator or other IPSec
protocol-compliant secure gateway at the remote office.
