Understanding Mesh VPN Deployments
In a mesh VPN deployment, all endpoints can communicate with every other endpoint by means of an
individual VPN tunnel. The mesh deployment offers redundancy so that when one endpoint fails, the
remaining endpoints can still communicate with each other. This type of deployment commonly
represents a VPN that connects a group of decentralized branch office locations. The number of
VPN-enabled managed devices you deploy in this configuration depends on the level of redundancy you
require. Each of the endpoints must be a VPN-enabled managed device.
