Ed,
I would suggest that you do familiarise yourself with GRE. GRE maybe required for applications other than VPNS, for example, creating connectivity in a PIM domain or to overcome the limitations of OSPF Virtual Links. Therefore you do need to know GRE (the basic setup of GRE is pretty simple).
IPSec, well it is basically encrypted GRE. If you can set up GRE you are half way there (in fact probably only a third of the way). Having said that I would familiarise myself with tunnel mode and transport mode, then identify where you can find the relevant commands on the Doc Cd. Having said all that I doubt you will get much if anything on IPSec when sitting the Lab (However I have not sat the Lab, so that last statement is a fairly large assumption!!)

Hi Guys,
Well said and good point. My original question was actually ipsec vs
vpn. If it is not part of the R/S track. I can put it aside for now.
:)
Thanks,
Edward
