This intensive 2 day workshop follows on from COMP 3705 and allows students to explore Virtual Private Networks (VPN) as another measure to provide network security. The focus of this hands-on workshop is to design, implement and maintain a VPN. Topics will also include L2TP, PPTP and IPSec. Students will examine various tunneling protocols, authentication and encryption mechanisms. There is a group project setting up site-to site as well as remote access, providing network administrators with a functional understanding of the role of VPNs in network security.
