Overview of Advanced IPsec VPN Architecture with Cisco & Palo Alto

Unlock the real-world skills needed to deploy secure, scalable, and resilient VPN architectures across modern enterprise networks. This hands-on lab-based course dives deep into advanced IPsec VPN topologies, MPLS integration, and Palo Alto firewall deployment—equipping you with the tools to confidently build and troubleshoot production-ready secure WAN environments.

From single-tunnel setups to complex dual-ISP and dual-site failovers, every lab is crafted to mirror real-life enterprise scenarios. Whether you’re working in network security, operations, or engineering, this course will elevate your ability to design, configure, and maintain VPN infrastructures with high availability, redundancy, and security best practices.

Lab Requirements:

To simulate all scenarios smoothly, you will need the following setup:

  • ⚙️ EVE-NG (Community or Professional edition)

  • ⚙️ RAM: 64 GB minimum (more recommended)

  • ⚙️ Processor: Dual CPU or Single CPU with at least 8 cores

  • ⚙️ Virtualization: VMware Workstation, VMware ESXi, or compatible hypervisor

  • ⚙️ Palo Alto VM Firewalls (licensed)

  • ⚙️Cisco images (IOS/IOS-XE for routers/switches)

  • ⚙️Basic understanding of routing, BGP, and VPNs

⚠️ Disclaimer:

Palo Alto firewalls used in this course require valid licenses for full functionality. Ensure you have access to licensed Palo Alto virtual or physical firewalls to replicate all lab scenarios effectively.

Requirements for Advanced IPsec VPN Architecture with Cisco & Palo Alto

  • To successfully learn and follow this course, learners should have a foundational understanding of networking concepts such as IP addressing, subnetting, VLANs, routing (both static and dynamic), access control lists (ACLs), and basic NAT. A working knowledge of VPN fundamentals—including IPsec, IKEv1/IKEv2, encryption, and tunneling—is also essential. Familiarity with Cisco CLI is important, especially for configuring routing protocols like BGP and managing Cisco IOS/IOS-XE devices. Basic experience with Palo Alto firewalls is recommended, including using the PAN-OS GUI, configuring zones, security policies, NAT, and setting up IPsec VPNs. Learners should also be comfortable using virtualization platforms like VMware Workstation or ESXi and have a working knowledge of EVE-NG for lab deployments. While this course is hands-on and offers step-by-step guidance, it is intended for individuals with intermediate-level networking and security skills aiming to gain advanced real-world VPN and MPLS design expertise.
