Site - to - Site

Site-to-Site, works through the use of equipment and large-scale encrytion; it allows a company to connect multiple fixed sites over a public network such as the internet.

The Site-to-Site VPN cna be one of two types:

• Intranet-based - If a company has one or more remote locations that they wish to join in a single private network, they can create an intranet VPN to connect LAN to LAN.
• Extranet-based - When a company has a close relationship with another company (for example, a partner, supplier or customer), they can build an extranet VPN that connects LAN to LAN, and that allows all of the various companies to work in a shared environment.
