Cisco :: 861 - Setup Simple VPN On Small Network?
Feb 13, 2012
I would like to setup a simple VPN on a small network, nothing special, just to provide access to some simple resources on the network from anywhere. Since I'm not a Cisco expert, I was advised to user a 861 router, but I just can't seem to get the VPN working on this device.
I've placed the router behind a modem and did some basic configuration. Hosts who are connected to the modem (on the Vlan side) can access the internet and can setup a VPN connection to the router. A VPN connection from inside the network is worthless, but I just can't get the VPN working on the FastEthernet4 connection.
Any VPN config for a 861 router for this situation? Or how to configure this device as a VPN server?

I have been tasked with the technology update of our office and have have MAJOR questions which I hope can be answered here, so here goes;
First a little history, I have an electronics degree and a certificate in computer technology, so computers are not something new to me, however networking IS.I have a VERY LIMITED budget to work with, which I'm sure is not unheard of before, with the following equipment already available:
1 MFP currently on lease connected via network
3 totally junk PCs running 3 different versions of Windows from XP to 7
A DSL internet connection
A wireless router
A wired 8 port switch
What I would like to do is begin with a basic server, 7 clients, shared internet on all machines (including external via login), An MFP, at least 1 NAS for data storage, 1 NAS for backup of all drives.

What are the best network engineering practises for a small/medium sized office?Currently I have set it up like this:The top floor has all the sales people, each desk has a hub underneath which connects all computers at that desk together, and the hum is connected to a switch under the floor. There are about about 8 desks each with about 4 computers, so 8 hubs.They all go into a 10/100 switch, which is then connected to an 1gb switch on the bottom floor via a 1gb port on the top floor switch, via a cat6 cable.We then have internet > modem > router > the 1gb switch. Our main server is also connected to that switch along with all the computers for the ground floor, except these computers have 1gb switches under the desks instead of hubs. The main server is the DHCP, DC, DNS and file server. We have also setup another server which acts as a backup DC and is also a DNS server.Is there anything wrong with this configuration? We have been having problems with the router losing connection to the internet and warnings on the main DNS server.

XYZ Corporation currently employs eight people but plans to hire 10 more in the next four months. Users will work on multiple projects, and only those users assigned to a project should have access to the project files. You’re instructed to set up the network to make it easy to manage and back up. Would you choose a peer-to-peer network, a server-based network, or a combination of both?

I would like to create 3 x VLANs on an SG 300-28P and have them completely isolated from each other, for example ports 1 - 12 on VLAN 1, ports 13 - 24 on VLAN 2 and ports 25 - 28 on VLAN 3. No communication between any of the VLANs.
Any simplest way to achieve this?

I`m trying to get a simple VRF and routing setup going.The "routers" are Cisco C3750G-12S-E.What I want to do is separate the management network form all else.The public network is illustrated with private IP ranges, these are really public ranges.
I think the best way to solve this will be using VRF for management, and regular routing for public network, right? Putting the management network in it`s own VRF.

I would like to know if there is a way to monitor which programs/processes are using my network, say if there's something in the background updating that I can close to reduce lag in games, my computer is free of viruses and most the auto updates are turned off because I update them manually, so I just would like a simple straightforward answer,what program or process is using my network?

I know the general difference between a router and a switch, but after considerable reading I'm unable to determine if I could just use a switch for my pretty simple specific application.
Here are the two devices I need to setup on my network (connections would be wired, both devices in close proximity): (1) computer running windows2k with 100mbps ethernet card (has software firewall installed) (1) blue ray player for streaming netflix videos
Because I don't have any computers on the network communicating with each other, based on what I've read it seems possible to just connect a switch to my cable modem instead of using a router.

I have a home network using a 2600 and PIX515E, and unfortunetly I don't know how to set up ACLs. I read a few Cisco documentation but unfortunetly I am unable to grasp the concept of how to define them. Would anyone be able to give me a crash course on setting up ACLs?

I will be building my own computer here in the next month and am looking to become quite informed about building my own wireless network.Trouble is, I'm a bit out of to with what I need and what is good. I'm also officially tired of renting a modem from Comcast (bastards keep bumping my monthly rate up). So what pieces of equipment do I need to build a simple quality wireless network for my home? I would like the network to support two laptops, one desktop, and an Xbox plugged into a LAN line. Also, I'm thinking of using a Rosewill Wirelss Adapter 3 antenna [URL].

We'll be building a small remote site that will use two Windows 2008 servers. We would like redundancy in firewalls, IPS's and switches. Is it better to buy stand-alone ASA 5510s (with embedded IPS's) and 2960s, or is it a better option to buy a Cat 6000 with FW modules. We'll have several internet IP addresses available.

i'm trying to setup a local DNS server to manage small office local-only domain names for our servers. i have the DNS working properly (resolving local machines and using the ISP dns if it can't). so i put the DNS server ip into the "Static DNS 1" field of the router settings. the other 2 static dns fields are empty.the problem is that the router is still using the ISP dns server as the primary and my local dns server as the secondary. i verify this in two places. first, if i go to the "status" tab, DNS 1 shows the ISP server while DNS 2 shows my local DNS server. secondly, if i connect to the wireless device with a linux-based machine, the /etc/resolv.conf file shows the nameserver ips in the same incorrect order.

I have a c890 switch is a default gateway for the lan behind it. The router is configured with bgp for 2 providers and local network is /24 rout able network (92.224.1.0/24). I think bgp is configured correctly because I can ping any ip from the router (92.224.1.1), for example I can ping 8.8.8.8.
The problem is that I can not ping anything from the local network, from example I can not ping 8.8.8.8 (Google dns) from 92.224.1.2.
92.224.1.2 has as default gw 92.224.1.1.
92.224.1.2 -> 92.224.1.1 -> BGP 2 ISP's

I'm involved in setting up a new office for a business that's just starting out. I have some computer experience but not a whole lot in networking and security. We just have 3 people that will be working in the office and we need a way to store/backup/share files on the network as well as a way to access them remotely if need be. Our internet service is going to be providing us with a static IP. I was thinking that we could use an NAS with RAID 1 attached to the router, which is in turn connected to the cable modem, but I'm not sure if this is secure. Do we need some type of hardware firewall in between the cable modem and the router to protect us from the outside?

I've been tasked with redesigning a small network (15-20) including wireless. Cisco recommends the RV220 as the entry point Firewall/Router/Wireless and researching there are apparently some good and bad sides of having everything all in one unit depending on who you ask. The other option would be to get a dedicated Firewall/Router and then run the wireless on a seperate device(vlan). I'm fine with either solution but my main concern is performance on the physical connections as well as reliability with the wireless having good range and not dropping or having to reboot the router continuously. Behind the router/firewall I will purchase one of the Cisco 24-port gig switches for physical connections through the office. How to get for the router/firewall/wireless setup? Budget is not a problem although I don't want to pay for something that is overkill for 10-15 wired workstations and 5-10 wireless including a guest wireless.

I just took a position and never had to work with networks that much before. Our lan is very slow and trying to figure out why. We have verizon business class 3 t1 lines dedicated 4 M. When I do a speed test we get about 4.05 average and 4.23 down. We have 11 computers on the network connected to a Dell power connect 2716. We have Two network printers and that is it. We are having problems with it being very slow when connecting to a share on the server or using RDP.

My current set-up is: my laptop connects to the coaxial outlet with a cable so I can access the internet. So I can't really bring it somewhere else since the cable is short.
Now, I am planning to buy 2 more computers and a printer. The printer will be shared by all 3 computers. what else I need to buy (modem?? wireless router??) and what type. I also request that you let me know how to set it up. Of course, I will follow the manufacturer's instructions.

I work for a small business of five computers. We have a wireless network for internet traffic, and a wired network for file sharing. The wireless network works great for using the internet, but we are having trouble with the wired network.The issue is being able to communicate with all of the computers on the wired network. The ability to speak with all of the computers on the network is hit or miss. Generally, computer A can speak with computer B, C, and D, but D can only speak with A.

I am buying a router with wireless soon and i am setting up an ADSL account.I only have one computer that will connect to this router.The router will be based in the living room area where the phone line is.My room (where the computer is situated) is quite far from the living room and i am not keen to drilling holes through roofs to wire some LAN cable.My plan is to use a wireless dongle in my pc to connect to the router for internet. Will this affect the speed of my downloads off the internet at all? will it be the same as if i was using a lan cable?I know file sharing over the network via WAN is slow but will my internet be?

He currently has 1 server, and 11 workstations, he also has a network switch that we will be replacing.We have picked out a Dell server, running Windows Server 2008 R2 that will be used as the main file server, as well as the domain controller. Where I seem to be confused is on setting up the networking component, particularly how the machines will get IP addresses. As mentioned, I will be purchasing a new Ethernet switch, in order to get the fastest LAN speed possible; I have selected the Dell PowerConnect 2816, which is a 10/100/1000Mbs switch. My question is, will I be letting the switch handle the IP's/DHCP or would I be better off, setting up the server for DHCP? If so, do I also setup the server as the DNS server? From what I am reading online using the server as the DHCP/DNS server gives us more management capabilities and is more "secure". As a test, I loaded Windows Server 2008 R2 on a home machine and played around with this. I got a bit lost on the DHCP and DNS setup and it appears that one needs a Static IP from your ISP in order to setup your serve as the DHCP/DNS server for the domain. Is this correct? I haven't been to his office yet to check out all the existing equipment, is it safe to assume that his ISP provides a router or whatever is needed to feed the switch?

Want some input on what will be the best solution in this scenario.Basicly this is a small ISP network.In each area, behind the C3750s, there are som DSLAMs, access switches and wireless base stations.Some of the clients need L2 connections across the network, as they have several offices.The C3750s are all Cisco WS-C3750G-12S-E.The management networks must be isolated, but be able to reach each other.What do you think would be the best solution realising this network, based on the awailable hardware?
