And for now, the wrap-up.
We have just reviewed what the course covered,
and hopefully it gave you a good refresher on the information that we
discussed and solidified that knowledge for you.
Let's talk about some additional learning resources really quickly.
There are many different things that work together to make IPsec work.
With that,
some additional context may be necessary for you to ensure that you have a
solid grasp on the foundational protocols that make up IPsec.
Sure, we now know how IPsec works,
but learning all about things like cryptography,
VPNs, and IPv6 can be very helpful to bring it all home.
With that said,
here are a few Pluralsight courses that cover some of the topics that were
highlighted in this course and help you dig a little deeper into the
protocols and technologies that make up IPsec.
IPv6: Introduction to the Protocol, by Ed Horley,
is a good one to learn about the protocol.
Brandon Carroll's VPN Fundamentals course for CCNP Security is another great
one that helps us understand VPNs a little bit better.
Finally, Cryptography: The Big Picture, by Matt Glass,
is helpful if you want to start learning about cryptography and
the different methods available for that.
On top of those,
I wanted to share one more time this RFC that's a great
resource to learn about IPsec in all of the many,
and I mean many,
RFCs that are available to read to learn all about its components and concepts.
I think this is a great starting point for
understanding the technologies involved.
There are also plenty of books and resources out there to
learn more about the protocol suite and to help you learn how
to use this technology correctly.
You can also consult your vendor's implementation guides to learn how they
implement IPsec with their equipment and their solutions.
I truly hope that you've learned a lot throughout this
course and that it benefited you in some way.
I really enjoyed writing and teaching this one,
and I hope that you enjoyed going through it as well.
Course reviews and constructive feedback are what helped me
improve these courses at Pluralsight.
If you get a minute,
I'd really appreciate it if you can give me some feedback or rate this course.
I wish you luck on your IPsec education and hope that
you dig into it a little bit more,
as well as take some of these takeaways back to your organization
and ensure that it's implemented correctly. Thanks for checking out my course, and I'll see you in the next one.
