Multiple VPN

[iomega55]

Hi:

Have somebody configure a multiple VPN scenario?

At this moment we only have 1 VPN, but we need to have at least 3, so how can we have this configuration in Endian 2.2rc1?

Thanks.

Hello Again,

The trick to configuring three VPN's is using the correct subnets and the correct routes.

Lets say I have 3 offices:
New York
Philadelphia
Atlanta

New York is the HQ:  10.1.0.0 255.255.255 and the endian is 10.1.0.1
Philadelphia is Sales:  10.2.0.0 255.255.255 and the router/endian is 10.2.0.1
Atlanta is Accounting:  10.3.0.0 255.255.255 and the router/endian is 10.3.0.1

You connect Philadelphia to New York with a VPN tunnel
You connect Atlanta to New York with a VPN tunnel

You then add a route from Philadelphia to Atlanta by saying something like this:
route add -net 10.3.0.0 255.255.255.0 gw 10.1.0.1

You then add a route from Atlanta to Philadelphia by saying something like this:
route add -net 10.2.0.0 255.255.255.0 gw 10.1.0.1

Its actually very easy to do.  Create the VPN tunnels first and then you add the routes.  Just make sure that each Office is on a seperate subnet.

I don't know what the maximum number is, but if you have 14 branch offices, you may want to look at purchasing some cisco equipment.  Endian is an OUTSTANDING product, better than any of the others I've worked with of a similar nature, but when you start talking about 14 full time tunnels then you should start talking about frame-relays, dedicated circuits and a host of other solutions.  I would imagine you could host 14 full-time VPN's with a solid Endian box and phat pipe on your HQ Lan but I wouldn't recommend it :)

The idea is to use ADSL because the lower cost, this branch office is small 5 to 10 machines only the traffic to our network will pass through tunnel other(web) will not.
