CE1 is a device in Department A and belongs to VPN-A that uses 111:1 as the VPN-target. CE2 is a device in Department B and belongs …
Continue reading Configuring a Basic ACL to Manage Device Access RightsNetworking Requirements As shown in Figure 1, Device A, Device B, and Device C are access devices, whereas Device D, Device E, and Device F are core devices. The access devices connect to the core devices through 10 Gbit/s interfaces. Voice and 3G services run on the network. To control user access and ensure network and device security, security policies need to be configured on the access routers …
