Concentrator Management

This chapter is unique when compared to the last three chapters on the VPN 3000 concentrator; those chapters focused on remote access and site-to-site connections. This chapter, instead, will focus on some of the additional configurations and features you might enable on your concentrator. Some important items I'll address in this chapter include bandwidth management, routing, redundancy, and administrative components, including administrative access, software upgrades, and file management.

I won't be discussing all of the screens on the concentrator in this book, because that would be a book in itself. However, what I've covered up to this point focuses on the important aspects of the concentrator. Chapter 11 will focus on using tools on the concentrator to troubleshoot VPN problems.
