Cisco Virtual Private Networks



What Is a VPN?

VPNs deliver enterprise-scale connectivity deployed on a shared infrastructure with the same policies enjoyed in a private network. A VPN can be built on the Internet or on a service provider's IP, Frame Relay, or ATM infrastructure. Businesses that run their intranets over a VPN service enjoy the same security, prioritization, reliability, and manageability as they do in their own private networks.


VPNs based on IP can naturally extend the ubiquitous nature of intranets over wide-area links to remote offices, mobile users, and telecommuters. Further, they can support extranets linking business partners, customers, and suppliers to provide better customer satisfaction and reduced manufacturing costs. Alternatively, VPNs can connect communities of interest, providing a secure forum for common topics of discussion.


The Cisco VPN suite of solutions enable three distinct VPN services: Access, Intranet, and Extranet VPN. Each service meets different business requirements for connectivity to mobile users, remote offices, partners, and customers. In each case, Cisco IOS software ties these services together, enabling end-to-end networking with consistent policies over a shared infrastructure.
