VPN Day 1: Fundamentals, May 7, 2001
VPN Day 2: Design and Deployment, May 8, 2001
Networld+Interop Las Vegas

In our VPN Day Fundamentals class, we provide an overview of L2TP, IPsec, and various alternatives for combining these two protocols. Armed with this knowledge, students know the questions to ask vendors and can develop RFPs. For those ready to proceed with implementation, we're offering a new class at Interop and TISC this year: VPN Design and Deployment. Dave Piscitello and Lisa Phifer join Joel Snyder and Fred Avolio in delivering these VPN workshops.
