VPN concentrator?

Hey guys,

I’m studying for my CISSP and I came across the VPN concentrator section of the exam prep video. But the video just basically says a VPN concentrator takes multipule channels and makes them into one stream for faster throughput. I’m a bit confused as to what a vpn concentrator is though. Does anyone have an example of one?

I know how to make a OpenVPN tunnle using pfsense routers, or a IPsec tunnel on a sonicwall firewall, but I don’t know what a VPN concentrator is.

do you know what google is?

Thanks yeah, I tried to figure out what it was by reading the link obnoxious Otter posted above, I guess I see that it’s hardware related. But still don’t really understand it. Like what is an example of a VPN concentrator?

yes I googled it before posting. The real question is, do you know what the answer is?

no you did not google it. if you do you would have found the answer and it’s very straight forward.

So basically there is no difference between a firewall with VPN support and a VPN concentrator except that the VPN concentrator has beeifer hardware? do you have an example of a VPN concentrator?

I have setup over 400+ users on multipule VPN tunnels across many different sites. I’ve only used pfsense, palo alto, sonicwall, and pulse connect to do it. So I’m just a bit confused on what a VPN concentrator is.

What is the answer? If you know it so well, can’t you articulate it? I think your just a troll.

not going to tell you. and i am not a troll. just someone who doesn’t like to spoon feed.
