Virtual private network test lab

This section provides detailed information about how you can use five computers to create a test lab with which to configure and test the virtual private network (VPN) features in the Windows Server 2003 family. These instructions are designed to take you through a set of tasks that expose you to VPN connections and their functionality. Beyond the set of tasks, you can use these instructions to create a functioning VPN configuration. You can then use this configuration to experiment with VPN features and functionality in the Windows Server 2003 family prior to deployment on your production network.

Note

  • The following instructions are for configuring a test lab using a minimum number of computers. Individual computers are needed to separate the services provided on the network and to clearly show the desired functionality. This configuration is neither designed to reflect best practices nor is it designed to reflect a desired or recommended configuration for a production network. The configuration, including IP addresses and all other configuration parameters, is designed only to work on a separate test lab network.

For more information about deploying VPN connections, see Deploying Virtual Private Networks. For configuration checklists, see VPN Checklists. For an example implementation of VPN connections, see Virtual Private Network Implementation Examples.
