Dear Cisco Professional,

If you have been struggling to find out how to configure a specific VPN scenario using Cisco devices and you have been searching the web for the answer, then STOP right now...

I have written a comprehensive and practical Cisco VPN Configuration Guide which will save you from the hassle and from wasting your time.

Even if you don't find what you want right now in this guide (something unlikely in my opinion), I'm sure that this VPN Configuration Tutorial will be extremely useful in your whole future career as a Cisco Network Engineer.

Every Networking Professional in this planet will have to configure some kind of VPN sooner or later in his/her professional career. This VPN Guide, therefore, will be a great reference for years to come.

Cisco VPN Configuration Book

Who will benefit from this Cisco VPN eBook?

I remember building my first site-to-site IPSEC VPN back in 2000 using two Cisco PIX 501 firewalls. I was impressed when communication was established between two private LAN networks over the Internet. Since then, I have designed, configured and managed hundreds of VPN implementations using Cisco Routers and PIX/ASA firewalls. This eBook therefore includes all of my working experience with Cisco VPN technology for more than a decade.


Since this ebook covers also some VPN theory, comparisons between different VPN technologies, practical applications of each VPN type etc (in addition to the practical step-by-step configuration instructions), I believe that it will be beneficial for a range of professionals such as:


Cisco ASA Firewall Administrators Cisco ASA Firewall Administrators
Cisco Network Administrators Cisco Network Administrators
Network Security Engineers Network Security Engineers/Designers
IT Security Consultants IT Security Consultants
Networking Consultants Networking Consultants
Cisco Networking Freelancers Cisco Networking Freelancers
Companies offering Network Implementation and Support Services Companies offering Network Implementation and Support Services
Any Cisco Network Engineer Any Cisco Network Engineer

What is included in this eBook?

This eBook will teach you how to configure and implement almost any Cisco VPN scenario on Cisco IOS Routers and on Cisco ASA Firewalls (newest version 8.4(x) and above and for all ASA 5500 and ASA 5500-X models).


I have tried to include the most important and commonly found VPN topologies that you will find in real world networks. Also, I have included several scenarios which are somewhat infrequent or unusual to encounter and they are also a little bit difficult to configure. These include VPN Failover using Backup ISP, site-to-site VPN with duplicate subnets, VPN Hairpinning, Active Directory authentication for remote access, remote access using Anyconnect SSL VPN, DMVPN etc.


Here are some of the topics that we will be covering:


Policy-Based and Route-Based VPNs Policy-Based (IPSEC) and Route-Based VPNs (Comparison and Applications)
IPSEC VPN Basic Theory IPSEC VPN Basic Theory
Practical Applications of each VPN Technology Practical Applications of each VPN Technology
Comparison Between Various VPN Technologies Comparison Between Various VPN Technologies

PPTP Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) on Cisco Routers
Site-to-Site and Hub-and-Spoke IPSEC VPN on Cisco ASA Firewalls Site-to-Site and Hub-and-Spoke IPSEC VPN on Cisco ASA Firewalls
Remote Access Using IPSEC VPN Client on Cisco ASA Firewalls Remote Access Using IPSEC VPN Client on Cisco ASA Firewalls
Remote Access Using Anyconnect SSL VPN on Cisco ASA Firewalls Remote Access Using Anyconnect SSL VPN on Cisco ASA Firewalls
Remote Access VPN Authentication using Microsoft Active Directory ASA Configuration for Remote Access VPN Authentication using Microsoft Active Directory
Remote Access VPN Authentication using External AAA Server ASA Configuration for Remote Access VPN Authentication using External AAA Server
Remote Access VPN Authentication using RSA Server ASA Configuration for Remote Access VPN Authentication using RSA Server


From my practical experience I have encountered also several special cases which I've included in the ebook:


Site-to-Site and Hub-and-Spoke VPNs with Sites Having Dynamic Public IP Address Site-to-Site and Hub-and-Spoke VPNs with Sites Having Dynamic Public IP Address
Hub-and-Spoke and Remote Access VPNs on Same Device Hub-and-Spoke and Remote Access VPNs on Same Device
Hub-and-Spoke VPN using DVTI and SVTI with Routers Hub-and-Spoke VPN using DVTI and SVTI with Routers
Using Dynamic Routing Protocols EIGRP in Hub-and-Spoke networks with Routers Using Dynamic Routing Protocols (EIGRP) in Hub-and-Spoke networks with Routers
Restricting and Controlling IPSEC VPN Traffic Between two sites Restricting and Controlling IPSEC VPN Traffic Between two sites
Enable Communication Between Spokes in a Hub-and-Spoke VPN on ASA - VPN Hairpinning Enable Communication Between Spokes in a Hub-and-Spoke VPN on ASA (VPN Hairpinning)
Allow Remote Users to Access Spoke Sites on ASA - VPN Hairpinning Allow Remote Users to Access Spoke Sites on ASA (VPN Hairpinning)
Site-to-Site IPSEC VPN With Failover Using Backup ISP Site-to-Site IPSEC VPN With Failover Using Backup ISP

Site-to-Site IPSEC VPN Between Cisco Router and ASA Site-to-Site IPSEC VPN Between Cisco Router and ASA
Remote Access Authentication Using Microsoft Active Directory Remote Access Authentication Using Microsoft Active Directory, RADIUS, RSA
PPTP PPTP


All of the above are supported by 20 Complete configuration examples on Cisco Routers and ASA Firewalls, plus over 40 Network Diagrams and Troubleshooting Instructions.


See some example networks that we will be discussing in the book (Click on image to enlarge):

Microsoft Active Directory Authentications Anyconnect SSL VPN Configuration IPSEC Failover

TESTIMONIALS

Below are some actual comments that I have received from people who purchased this ebook before:



"Hi Harris,

I picked up the new ebook yesterday and I haven't put it down for more than 20 minutes. I am a twenty year veteran and I find your guides are the best reference when I am explaining concepts to staff and junior engineers. I have instructed all my staff to pick up your guide if they really want to understand VPNs in practical context.

Your scenarios are on point and provide for a clear understanding of what to apply and how to apply it. Thanks again for this additional contribution. I look forward to an ACS ebook."

Luis Gonzalez
"Excellent ebook. Very detailed information. It is clear, precise, and easy to understand. I have a task to replaced our pix firewall with hundreds of vpn connections and the ebook gave me the understanding of what I was doing and helped me with the CLI."

Chris
"Harris.
Once gain a an execellent reference guide. I've been working with CISCO 871 and then CISCO ASA 5510s over the past 5 years and finally after reading this I have really begun to understand what certain Options mean and how they work.

Thanks"

Ben Tompkins, mobico.biz
"This book was very well written and has allowed me to learn much more when it comes to VPN's. Thanks so much. Are you going to write more material based on the newer IOS 9.1? "

Joseph
"I have both the ASA and the VPN books. Harris has a way of making a complex technology look simple. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I would love to see you do something on MPLS VPN and BGP in the future.

Thanks"

Solomon
"Love your e-books. I followed the step by step ASA configuration in the Cisco VPN Configuration Guide and it saved my bacon on my first site to site IPSEC VPN tunnel set up, as I knew it would.

The Cisco world is difficult and confusing to learn. Unless you do it *every day* it's hard to remember what is needed. Your books make this a lot easier when less experienced people such as myself are called upon to administer Cisco equipment. Thank you and I am very happy with my purchase."


Michael
"The Cisco VPN Configuration Guide is great. I am relatively new to VPN setups and configurations and found your ebook quite informative with good diagrams and examples as well as excellent format overall. Interesting to read and follow the practical examples. Well Done."
