Advanced IPsec VPN and Remote Access (3 topics)

  • Using your knowledge of fundamental VPN tunnel concepts, troubleshoot a site-to-site or certificate-based VPN on a corporate gateway using IKEView, VPN log files and command-line debug tools.
  • Optimize VPN performance and availability by using Link Selection and Multiple Entry Point solutions.
  • Manage and test corporate VPN tunnels to allow for greater monitoring and scalability with multiple tunnels defined in a community including other VPN providers.

Prerequisites

Delegates need to have attended Check Point training on CCSE R60 or later versions. If delegates do not meet this requirement but feel they have the relevant experience and technical knowledge then we will need the trainer to speak with the delegate before confirming a booking.
