Flex VPN is an umbrella framework based on IKEv2 that configures IPsec VPN on Cisco IOS devices for remote access and site-to-site deployments, with smart default simplifying setup.
Explore virtual tunnel interface (VTI) as a full-featured routable interface that supports multicast, unicast, voice, and video, with security and compatibility with dynamic and static VPNs.
Discover smart defaults for ike version two flex vpn, with preconfigured default transform set, profile, proposal, and policy in the router to speed configuration.
Configure IKEv2 components for flex vpn by creating a proposal with encryption, integrity, and dh groups, linking it to a policy, and building a profile with keying and ipsec settings.
Learn to configure a site-to-site flex VPN with static virtual tunnel interfaces using IKEv2 and pre-shared keys, IPsec profiles, and tunnel interfaces, plus testing routing between two routers.
Configure site-to-site flex VPN using dynamic virtual tunnel interfaces, including loopback-based addressing, IKEv2 policy and IPsec profile setup, and dynamic tunnel routing.
Compare site-to-site flexvpn with smart default versus manual configuration, showing two routers using six components: proposal, policy, caring profile, IPsec transform set, and IPsec profile, and testing connectivity.

Configure flexvpn spoke-to-spoke tunnels in a hub-and-spoke topology, enabling direct spoke communication via dynamic virtual tunnel interfaces, ipsec profiles, and ikev2 policies.
Explore remote access VPNs, comparing client-based and clientless options, and learn how IPsec and SSL VPN tunnels with AnyConnect encrypt traffic to access company resources securely.
Explore remote access vpn concepts, including AnyConnect software, ipsec and ssl tunnels, and the roles of connection profiles, group policies, address pools, and bookmarks.
Configure clientless SSL VPN on a Cisco router, enabling http/https access, local aaa, a self-signed trust point, web gateway, and secure access to a remote web server.
Learn to configure a client-based remote access vpn on a Cisco router with AnyConnect 4.9, detailing interface setup, web vpn gateway, ssl vpn context, and user authentication.
Configure clientless ssl vpn on a Cisco ASA, including setting up interfaces, web access, and ASDM access. Create bookmarks, policies, and test remote access through TLS/SSL vpn.
Configure client-based AnyConnect SSL VPN on a Cisco RSA firewall (ASA), including lab topology, interface setup, authentication, VPN pool, and client deployment, then verify TLS access to resources.
Explore remote access vpn: connect a single user to an enterprise network via gateway devices using IPsec or TLS, with clientless browser access or client-based AnyConnect.
Explore how virtual private networks establish private connections over the internet, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and anti-replay, with site-to-site VPN and remote access options.
