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.
