Summary

In this chapter, we learned the difference between static and dynamic site-to-site IPSec VPN tunnels, and we looked at several ways to troubleshoot mismatched algorithms. We also learned about the LSVPN and the benefits it could bring when lots of mobile devices need to be deployed quickly and easily.

You will now be able to effectively decide which of the preceding scenarios will be most beneficial to you depending on your needs. Additionally, you can also decide how to troubleshoot if a tunnel still does not connect after you have configured it.

In the next chapter, we will learn about Prisma Access, which is a VPN consolidation product that is intended to replace traditional site-to-site VPN connections with a more resilient cloud-based variant.
