Folks:
I am preparing for the CCDA and plan to write same before 31 July, 2000. I have two questions. The first one revolves around VPN. The other question deals with CISCO's Hierarchical Network Design concepts. (1) Assume that I have six simple LANs - one HQ LAN and 5 Branch LANs. Assume also that each LAN consists of one Server and 4 workstations. If I want to link these simple networks using VPN; what king of Hardware and Software would I have to buy. I would also like to compare and contrast Microsoft's VPN (which I believe is built into Win2000) and CISCO's VPN. Thanks in advance guys. (2) In this second scenario, I want to connect a router at each LAN site and make use of CISCO'S hierarchical network design principles. Can anyone explain or draw a simple diagram of what the network structure would look like at the CORE, DISTRIBUTION, and ACCESS layers. Thanks, John |
