How a Dial VPN Network Functions
Any authorized remote user (using a PC or dial-up router) who has access to a
phone line and a modem can dial into your network through Dial VPN. A remote
node can be an individual user dialing in or a dial-up router (using IP) through a
public-switched telephone network (PSTN) or an ISDN connection. A remote
user can dial in to a Dial VPN network to connect either to a corporate or home
network or to a third-party ISP. Dial VPN regards these as functionally equivalent.
Figure 1-2
is a simplified illustration of one possible Layer 3 Dial VPN
configuration. In reality, a Dial VPN service provider’s network might include
several remote access servers to service a variety of dial-in users, with both Layer
3 and Layer 2 tunnels serving different types of networks. You can configure Dial
VPN so that its operation is transparent both to users and applications. You may
find it useful to draw a map of your own configuration and label the interfaces
with their IP and, if appropriate, frame relay Data Link Connection Identifier
(DLCI) addresses.
