Remote-User Design
This section discusses four different options for providing remote-user connectivity within the SAFE design. Remote connectivity applies to both mobile workers and home-office workers. The primary focus of these designs is providing connectivity from the remote site to the corporate headquarters and through some means, the Internet. The following four options include software-only, software-with-hardware, and hardware-only solutions:
1. Software access-Remote user with a software VPN client and personal firewall software on the PC
2. Remote-site firewall option-Remote site is protected with a dedicated firewall that Provides firewalling and IPSec VPN connecttinity to corporate headquarters;WAN connectivity is provided via an ISP-provided broadband access device (i.e. DSL or cable modem).
3. Hardware VPN client option-Remote site using a dedicated hardware VPN client that Provides IPSec VPN connecttinity to corporate headquarters;WAN connecttinity is provided via an ISP-provided broadband access device
4. Remote-site router option-Remote site using a router that provides both firewalling and IPSec VPN connectivity to corporate headquarters. This router can either provide direct broadband access or go through and ISP-provided broadband access device.
