Cisco Secure Virtual Private Networks

I read this book before I saw the reviews on this site. I must say that the book is excellent. It covers the VPN technology overview in chapter 1 really good before going into the various configuration chapters. As a security engineer going through their CSS1, this book is invaluable and about the best IPSec resource on the market.Buy it!

With the first chapter, providing an overview of VPNs and IPSec, and with the followingones, showing detailed examples, I have improved my skills in managing IPSec and VPN. NowI can also be able to configure VPNs with IPSec between routers and concentrators. I have found lots of useful information and clear examples to work on IPSec with X509 and with some CAs. I am a Cisco VPN Concentrator manager and this book provides the right tools to work with it. With this book you will get a good introduction to the world of Cisco network security.
