<div><p>A virtual private network (VPN) allows your company to securely extend
|
|
its private intranet over the existing framework of a public network, such
|
|
as the Internet. VPN supports Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol (L2TP). L2TP solutions
|
|
provide remote users with secure, and cost-efficient access to the corporate
|
|
network. By establishing a voluntary tunnel to the L2TP network
|
|
server (LNS), the remote client actually becomes an extension of the corporate
|
|
network.</p>
|
|
<p>This conceptual scenario shows a remote client system connecting to its
|
|
corporate network by creating an L2TP voluntary tunnel protected by VPN.</p>
|
|
<p>To begin, the remote client establishes a connection to the Internet through
|
|
the Internet Service Provider (ISP). The ISP assigns the client a globally
|
|
routable IP address.</p>
|
|
<p>Unknown to the ISP, the client initiates a VPN connection with the corporate
|
|
VPN gateway. The gateway authenticates the client system which wants to access
|
|
the corporate network.</p>
|
|
<p>After the client receives authentication from the gateway (making the connection
|
|
secure), the client establishes the L2TP tunnel. The client is still using
|
|
the IP address assigned by the ISP. The L2TP tunnel will eventually enable
|
|
data to travel between the client system and the corporate gateway.</p>
|
|
<p>Once the L2TP tunnel (shown in yellow) is established, the LNS assigns
|
|
the client an IP address within the corporate network's address scheme. There
|
|
is no physical line assoc- iated with the connection, so a virtual line is
|
|
created to allow PPP traffic to tunnel through the L2TP tunnel.</p>
|
|
<p>Now IP traffic can flow between the remote client system and any system
|
|
within the corporate network.</p>
