Building Cisco Remote Access Networks

Part 1 Introduction: introduction to building Cisco remote access networks. Part 2 Identifying remote access needs using Cisco products: identifying Cisco products for remote connections; assembling and cabling the WAN components. Part 3 Enabling connections to the central site: configuring central site for asynchronous communications; configuring central site to use PPP; connecting Windows to access the central site. Part 4 Enhancing on demand connectivity: enhance remote connectivity using ISDN; using dial on demand routing (DDR) to enhance remote connectivity; configuring a Cisco 700 series router. Part 5 Enabling permanent connections to the central site - X.25; frame relay; using ISDN to backup the permanent WAN connection; managing network performance with queuing; optimising network performance with data compression. Part 6 Scaling remote access networks: IP addresses scaling with PAT and NAT; scaling remote access using AAA; virtual private dialup networking.
