Expert Oliver C. Ibe provides you with the technical background you need to confidently select and implement the best remote access technologies for your company's network. He fills you in on everything you should know about how remote traffic is processed from source to network, and the technologies, services, and protocols it is likely to encounter along the way. He also acquaints you with all the remote access devices currently on the market, and describes, in detail, how each will perform with legacy networking services and technologies. With the help of numerous illustrations and time flow diagrams, and a complete glossary of technical terms, he provides clear, detailed coverage of: * xDSL, HFC, FTTC, FTTH, and other broadband access technologies. * Remote access performance with legacy and emerging technologies and services. * Remote access network security including basic security services, cryptographic systems, IP security protocols, and Web security. * Firewalls and firewall architectures. * Virtual Private Network (VPN) architectures and implementations. * VPN applications including intranets, extranets, and voice over IP. * Wireless remote access services. * Mobile data networking including CDPD, mobile IP, and short message services.

Annotation Understand the tools, commands, and methodologies that enable reliable performance for remote access services in an enterprise environment. Expert advice on supporting remote access networks with detailed descriptions of Cisco? troubleshooting tools. Structured troubleshooting methodologies for enterprise remote access technologies including Dial, ISDN, Frame Relay, and VPNs. Examination of network symptoms, show commands, line-by-line explanations of debug output, and overviews of remote access management. Troubleshooting Remote Access Enterprise Networks helps you understand underlying technologies and gain insight into the challenges, issues, and best practices for supporting remote access networks. Covering fundamental concepts, design issues, provisioning, DSL and Cable connectivity options, central office operations, authentication techniques, and troubleshooting, this book serves as a comprehensive tool to resolving remote access issues. In-depth analysis of essential remote access technologies provides greater insight into Dial, ISDN, Frame Relay, and VPNs. With a focus specifically on the more popular enterprise applications of these technologies, each major section discusses troubleshooting methodology and scenarios. The methodology walks readers through the process of identifying, isolating, and correcting common failures. This structured approach helps limit the inclination to attack network failures in a more random fashion, which is not nearly as efficient. Explanations of typical symptoms, problems, show commands, and debug information are also extensive.

Complete with step-by-step instructions, practical examples, and troubleshooting tips, you will gain a solid understanding of how to configure and deploy Palo Alto Networks remote access products. As you advance, you will learn how to design, deploy, and troubleshoot large-scale end-to-end user VPNs. Later, you will explore new features and discover how to incorporate them into your environment. By the end of this Palo Alto Networks book, you will have mastered the skills needed to design and configure SASE-compliant remote connectivity and prevent credential theft with credential detection. What you will learnUnderstand how log forwarding is configured on the firewallFocus on effectively enabling remote accessExplore alternative ways for connecting users and remote networksProtect against phishing with credential detectionUnderstand how to troubleshoot complex issues confidentlyStrengthen the security posture of your firewallsWho this book is for This book is for anyone who wants to learn more about remote access for users and remote locations by using GlobalProtect and Prisma access and by deploying Large Scale VPN. Basic knowledge of Palo Alto Networks, network protocols, and network design will be helpful, which is why reading Mastering Palo Alto Networks is recommended first to help you make the most of this book.

An increasing number of companies are designing and implementing Remote Access Networks, which allow users who are not physically connected to a Wide Area Network (WAN) or Local Area Network (LAN) to access the network's servers, applications and databases or to participate in video conferencing and conference calls. The ability for a remote user to function as if they were in the next office dramatically improves overall efficiency while reducing total cost of ownership. Cisco Systems, the world's largest internetworking vendor, is the pioneer of the enabling technologies for Remote Access Networks. This book will identify and explain all of the Cisco products necessary for designing and building a remote access network and integrating it with legacy systems. This book is a professional reference detailing all of the strategies, tactics and methods for designing, configuring and maintaining Cisco Remote Access Networks. It will include thorough discussions of all Cisco Access Servers and routers. * Demand for information on remote access networks is growing quickly at corporate and administrator level * Cisco remote access networks appeal to businesses as they provide efficient and secure connectivity at reduced cost * Book includes thorough discussions of all Cisco Access Servers and routers
