Summary
This chapter covered IPSec features and mechanisms that are primarily targeted at the authentication of remote access users. You learned about XAUTH, which provides extended authentication for IPSec telecommuters by using authentication schemes such as RADIUS. MODECFG uses a push model to push attributes to the IPSec client. You also saw how EzVPN greatly simplifies configuration for IPSec clients and allows central configuration of the IPSec policies. You explored the use of digital certificates and PKI, which are becoming increasingly popular for scalable IPSec deployments for both remote access and site-to-site VPNs.
