Abstract
Wide Area Network (WAN) connections are used to connect geographically separate networks. When a device on one network wants to communicate with a device on a different network or remote site, traffic has to traverse one or more WAN links. Unlike a local area network (LAN), a service provider typically provides the physical WAN connections. In this chapter, the study is conducted on the WAN connection requirements, topologies, and specifications. The Cisco Access Server product line, the routers that are currently available, and where the products fall within the Cisco product set are reviewed. Some of the remote access options that are currently available are also reviewed. The issues when planning the design, implementation, and installation of a Cisco remote access network, as well as identifying suitable equipment for each site that should be considered are detailed.
