Just wondering how much of this is needed on the CCNP Route exam? I understand the concepts pretty well, but when it comes to configuring both I'm a little rusty.
Chapter 7 Lab 7-1, Configure Routing Facilities to the Branch Office:
Objectives
• Configure NAT.
• Configure an IPsec VPN.
• Configure a GRE tunnel over IPsec.
• Enable dynamic routing over a GRE tunnel.
• Verify the configuration and operation using show and debug commands.
I will not say whether or not this is covered on this test (as I took the ROUTE exam already). However, I will say that you are HIGHLY advised to KNOW the PROTOCOLS and PRACTICE ALL the scenarios covered in the ROUTE Lab Manual.
Thanks for the info everyone. The main reason I asked the question is I have the CCNP Route Lab manual and I read the following note:
"Note: How to configure an IPsec VPN is beyond the scope of this lab. For more information on cryptography, IPsec VPNs, and GRE, see the Cisco Networking Academy CCNA Security courses or www.cisco.com."
I took the CCNA Security and I remember these topics, but I'm a little rusty and just wondered how true the above quote is when taking the test.
I haven't got to this point in my studies yet. Is this stuff that is covered more in 'Branch Internet Connections' section of OCG? That will be what I hit next after IPv6.
Currently Studying: IE Stuff...kinda...for now...

I see that same text, on page 308/352 in the manual.
Also, I see this on page 300:
Note: The intent of this lab is to illustrate the impact on routing services and addressing schemes when deploying IPsec VPNs at branch office routers. Although sample configurations are provided, detailed
explanations of Network Address Translation (NAT), IPsec VPNs, and GRE are beyond the scope of this
course. For more details on these technologies, see the Cisco Networking Academy CCNA Security course or Cisco Systems, Inc.
I just want to caution against doing the minimum. I remember this test. There was a good bit on it, from BGP, EIGRP, OSPF, Path Control, IP-SLA, IPv6, Route Maps, I think NAT was on there somehow, Redistribution, how the protocols work in different network types, etc. A good bit of stuff, I would guess.
I wouldn't want you to go in under-prepared, is all.
I am trying to install ipsec vpn in a cisco router remotely. I am facing some problem with that.. is there anybody who can help me with this. Dont know where i should post this. thats the reason i am send this as reply.
thanks

Yep I asked because I don't want to be under-prepared myself.

Vasco:
You'd be best served to post that in the CCNP-Security or the CCNA-Security forums. If you can't make a new thread, try to find one about making a VPN in the CCNP-Security or CCNA-Security forum, and we'll assist you there.
I am not sure what the requirement is, before one can make new threads.

Part 2: NAT & IPsec Coexistence
If you look in the ROUTE Lab Manual: source: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/10182-102-1-37273/CCNP%20ROUTE%206.0%20SLM.pdf

Hope this helps.
