Yes, IPSec is probably not on the lab since the Security track exists. But
are you not curious to know how IPSec works and can be configured? Just
kidding, I guess you are already very busy with R&S stuff,

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
