Cisco Routers :: Setting Up VPN On WVRS4400n
Apr 28, 2012
I need setting up vpn connection between my office network and home computer that runs Ubuntu linux with vpnc as a client. What I did is I went to router's management webinterface -> VPN->IPSec VPN-> then made a new connection (named yfd-vpn). I understand it will be a group name in client settings.local group setup was prefilled for me and it wasLocal Security Gateway Type: "IP only"IP address: xxx.xxx.47.88 Remote Group SetupRemote Security Gateway Type: AnyRemote Security Group Type: IP addressIP Address: zzz.zzz.zzz.137 ###this is my home router's LAN IP address. I am not sure if it should be put here. Maybe WAN address or LAN address on VPN host site with a different network parameters?IPSec setupPhase 1 (left unchanged) Phase 2.

I'm having problems trying to establish a IP Sec tunnel from the office to home. All of our machines are Macs so I have been using the directions described in "How to create an IP Sec tunnel for MAC Clients, A QVPN alternative" but I still can't get it to work. My setup is as follows:
The office is connected to the outside world through a MODEM (Sagemcom 2864 Connection Hub). This MODEM is also a wireless router. It's DHCP server provides addresses 192.168.2.x.The WRVS4400N's WAN port is connected to one of the LAN ports on the MODEM. It's IP address from the MODEM is 192.168.2.x. The WRVS4400N provides addresses 192.168.21.x to devices connected to it.We have a DynDNS account and are using the DDNS client on the WRVS4400N router to connect to it.At home, we have a DIR-655 router with IP Sec Passthru enabled. The router provides IP addresses 192.168.1.x for all devices connected to it. I am fairly sure there are no issues with the router setup at home since I am able to VPN into the office of my full-time job without any problems. I have tried just about everything I can think of but have not been able to get this to work. setting up the Local and Remote Group Settings on the WRVS4400N and the IP address settings in IP Securitas?

I have a Comcast Modem, which connects to the internet port of a simple 4 port switch (useless now due to lack of a second ip address as of recent), which goes out to the Internet/WAN port of a Cisco Router, which from one of the ports goes out to the Internet/WAN port of a Linksys Router.
I have a PC connected to each router, and my question is, How do I set up the network so that I am able to host a web/game server on the PC connected to the Linksys that's accessible over the internet?

I have a Linksys WRVA4400N router in my home office that I access my internet with throughout my house. I also have a Linksys WET200 Bridge that I want to use but can’t get them configured together. The Tech support folks keep shifting me back and forth and I’m about the throw my hands in the air. I get to the Advance Configuration setup for the WET200 and when I place the configuration URL 192.168.1.226 I get nothing. I can get to my router adjustments just unsure how to get the WET200 setting entered.

I have a problem setting up a VPN between a local office and a head office some distance away.Here at our local office, we have a Cisco WRVS4400N Small Business device.At the head office they have a Cisco ASA Device.We need to set up a point-to-point VPN and I have no idea how to do this with these devices.To make matters worse, the resource I have at the other end in an unknown entity who also does not seem to have much experience with this.Is there any type of step-by-step guide to such a configuration?

My network to use a RV042 router. It is connected to my cable modem and working well. I may add a DSL connection later in the month as a backup. All I really want to do now is setup my PPTP VPN connection. I have not been able to find a guide so I will assume it isn't that bad. I set up 2 accounts in the VPN-PPTP Server screen. Built my connection on my android phone and voila nothing works. So I tried to disable the "Block WAN requests". I tried port forwarding the VPN to 192.168.1.1 (address of the router) and no luck. AT this point I am stuck. I know my infrastructure is right because from outside the network I can [URL] and see my router configuration. Now if I could just get a simple PPTP connection

I am thinking about buying one of the 2 routers i have listed above. I have some concerns though.
First off what are the MAJOR differences between the two? (they look the same to me)
Do they both contain PPTP and is it simple to configure? Do i need any kind of special client software? Can i use my iphone and ipad to connect to the vpn server. Is there a minium download/upload speed to have a vpn sever?

I recently signed up for Centurylink Prism TV and internet, they use a Cisco DDR2200 (modem+wireless router combo) which I've come to realize is only a "g" router, so I purchased a cheap Belkin N150 (which I intend to use as my main router). I've turned the wireless function off on the Cisco and have an ethernet cable running from a LAN port on the Cisco to the internet port on the Belkin.
The issue I'm having is how do I set up the IP addresses/DHCP servers for both routers? By default, the Cisco's IP address is 192.168.1.254 (I know, weird right?) with a DHCP range of 192.168.1.63 - 192.168.1.253. Whereas the Belkin's IP address is 192.168.2.1 . I guess I'm sort of at a loss on how to set this up to optimize my network.

we have bought 2 Draytek 2830 Routers for our 2 businesses that are in different locations. We are looking at setting up a VPN between them and wanted to do it similar to the following:
http:[url].....
The thing the "Dial IN" site has a static IP from the ISP but the "Dial Out" site has a dynamic IP.what the best approach to take with this would be as I guess the link between the routers wouldn't work if the address kept changing?

Is there documentation on setting the RV042G to Router Mode and what that changes to it's topography? The manual simply tells us to click the button to change the mode?!?!? A 4th grader could figure that out - but what does it do to the unit? Does it basically become a glorified switch with an internet connection? Can the 2nd WAN port be used as a switch node?

We bought a RV220W in order to get a VPN in our Small Business. The RV220W will only be used to let clients connect to it and not a tunnel between another VPN box.We could use QuickVPN, but it won't be working in our case, because in order to use QuickVPN, the router wants to change its IP 10.x.y.1. Because we have multiple servers/services that are using a static IP, it would be quite painful to change the subnet. Therefore, we would like to stay on the same subnet and change it in worst case scenario only. This is why QuickVPN is not an option here.We could use SSL VPN, but most of our clients who will connect to the VPN are using Windows 7 x64. I have tried the Windows 7 x64 fix told in the latest firmware release notes, but I can't get it to work on my computer, which is a Win7 x64. It might still be broken. Many of them are not very tech-savyy, so I can't tell them to use a virtual machine to connect.We want a secure connection, therefore IPSec is better than PPTP. I've been trying to setup IPSec for the past hours but I can't get it working. At first, I wanted to use an SSL certificate, but having no luck with this, I switched to a Pre-shared Key (PSK) in order to get things simpler. Eventually I would like to use an SSL certificate, however I would like to get PSK working first to confirm that the IPSec connection is working.
I have attached with this post, screenshots of the IKE and VPN Policies. I have used the VPN Wizard in order to complete these fields. The local identifier is the WAN DynDNS FQDN. However, as for the remote FQDN, there should be none really, because clients are connecting to it, so the RV220W won't know in advance who's connecting and from where. I have read that when using the Responder type, the remote settings should not matter. Also, the PSK is 25 caracters long.After setting the RV220W up, I have set up a L2TP/IPSec VPN connection on my Windows 7. I have set up the connection to connect to the DynDNS address and set up the PSK in the Advanced settings. After I typed my IPSec username and password to connect (which was created in the IPSec users section), Windows tries to connect and times out :
Error 789 : The L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer encountered a processing error during initial negotiations with the remote computer.
At the same time on the RV220W, this error shows up in the logs :
2012-08-26 23:45:24: [rv220w][IKE] ERROR: Could not find configuration for 24.54.xx.xx[500]
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I've read the Administration manual quite a few times and it seems that I have followed everything by the book.I have tried to enable/disable my Windows firewall, but did not get any luck. The RV220W is located at a remote office, to make sure that I can connect from the outside, before you think that I'm trying to connect to the outside, from the inside I have changed few settings in the IKE policy to try to make it work. Settings such as the Exchange Mode, because I've read that the Aggressive mode had issues. At this moment, the settings are back to default, once the wizard has been run. I'm thinking about setting a PPTP to confirm that this works, then move up to IPSec PSK, then to IPSec SSL Certificate.

Looking for setting up the RV180 behind the ActionTec MI424WR-GEN2. At the same time I want to be able to VPN into the network and be able to access objects.
Ideal setup:
Verizon ActionTec modem is primary network (192.168.1.x)
RV180 is secondary network (192.168.2.x)
VPN to 192.168.2.x network from remote locations (client-to-gateway)
I've tried asking from Cisco Support and was given the "we don't suppor that configuration" line. They want me to put it in front of the ActionTec FiOS modem/router in which case then Verizon will provide zero support for anything.Now, to add an extra twist, I do have STBs (Set-Top Boxes) connected to the Verizon FiOS modem/router but nothing special (i.e. no DVR or any stuff like that). How to get this thing up and running so that I can have remote folks VPN into the network? We work with data that needs to remain encrypted during transmission, hence the VPN.I have forwarded ports 443 (TCP), 60443 (TCP), 500 (UDP) and 4500 (UDP) to the WAN IP of the RV180. Network objects behind the RV180 cannot get past the router (it's in router, not gateway mode). The RV180 can ping objects both on the WAN and LAN side, so it seems that the RV180 is the problem child.

Initial setup with RV220W completed without difficulty,Need to set up static IP for one of the machines in the LAN (not static IP for WAN),I presume I use the static DHCP option, which allows me to select a particular IP for the machine I select based on it's MAC,1. My confusion stems from the manual stating that "the IP address that you pick should be outside the DHCP address range specified on the Networking> LAN(local network)>IPV4(local network)page".,Does that mean that the range on the IPV4 local network page should be modified to exclude the IP address that I want to use for the static IP..e.g. change the range from 1-255 to 1-200 and then use an IP of XXX.XXX.X.201 for instanceor does that mean that as soon as I choose an IP on the Static DHCP page, that if will reserved for use only on that machine and not used for another machine on the LAN, without me having to do something else to exclude it's use (i.e. does reserving a static IP automatically remove it from the range of IPs available to other machines)If I simply set a static IP on the local machine by going to "change network adapter" settings, what's the liklihood that the router might use the same IP on another machine.

I spoke with the Comcast gateway support team and they changed my SMC router to the straight gateway/bridge option. If I plug directly from my laptop to the SMC, I have internet connectivity. So I know that aspect is working. I have a Cisco RV220W router that I want to be between the internet/SMC gateway and my network. For the life of me, I cannot get the internet connectivity to pass through to the router. I've done the proper power on order numerous times. Tried variations just for the heck of it. And nothing. Am I missing a step? If I do the "wizard" on the router, it basically tells me it sees no gateway even available even though it is clearly there and plugged into the WAN port. I don't see any option in the router settings for me to specify like the DHCP server I should be reaching out (if there even is one). My understanding is I shouldn't need to as the router should just recognize it. Should I be using a static IP instead?

I managed to set up an ipsec vpn between the RV 120W (responder) and Shrewsoft vpn client.The virtual ip and dns for the client pc are manually set. The tunnel is enabled, but I see no traffic between the local and the remote LAN.I can't ping or reach any pc behind the router.Using the command ipconfig /all on the client pc, I see that no gateway is assigned to the virtual vpn interface.So it seems that the RV 102W is unable to pass to the client the address of the default gateway for the lan, and I think this is why I can't access any resource.

I've read and read about setting up the WAN static IP connection, and can't get it to work. I purchased this router to replace an older Linksys Router (WRT150N) so that I could better implement VPN. All I need is 2 remote connections. The Linksys Router has been working great with a static IP setting, so I figured all I need to do to is enter the same IP, subnet, gateway, and DNS settings in the RV180W and it should work fine. Well it doesn't provide any connection to the internet. As far as I can see, it has all the same settings set that the linksys has.
Is there something additional I must do for a WAN static IP setting setup. I even contacted the ISP but they say their modem is fine and of-course they won't assist with the router. As soon as I connect the linksys back to the modem, I get access to the internet.
I'm no engineer, but something isn't allowing any Internet services. LAN is fine. I attached a W7 laptop to the router, and it says it can't reach the internet due to something about proxy services. There is no proxy server so not sure what it is referring to.
By the way I tried another manufacturer router just to ensure that it wasn't a defective RV180W, but that router didn't connect either - same issue. If I set it up on my home service, both work albeit only with DHCP WAN settings.

I have used an RVS4000 v1 for some years now as part of my domestic network. In particular I have an extensive Sonos distributed audio system, and I use the RVS4000's Static IP Mapping feature to assign a fixed IP to each and every Sonos box. It all works perfectly.
However, earlier this year my ISP (Virgin Media) upped my broadband service from 20Mbps to 60Mbps, without extra cost. Very kind of them, excellent! Their new SuperHub was initially installed in its factory default state, mainly because the several technicians who got involved with it's installation did not know how to go about putting it into Stand Alone Cable Modem mode. I did not want to use either its router, switch or wifi access point, preferring instead to stick with my perfectly good Cisco alternative {RVS4000+3xWAP4410Ns}.
After they gave up, I successfully altered the firmware revision and box settings to put it to SACM mode. But first I checked its speed. As supplied, it came in at about 63Mbps download and 2.8Mbps upload. The same speedtest.net test once set as SACM, and connected to my RVS4000 got just around 21Mbps download, 2.8Mbps upload. Disable the RVS4000 Intruder Protection System (IPS) and throughput matches the SuperHub on its own, 67Mbps down, 2.8Mbps up.
My conclusions...
1) The upload speed is virtually a constant irrespective of my equipment configuration, and will be ignored for the rest of this post.
2) Because of the need to open every packet for inspection, my RVS4000's processor just cannot handle this amount of data, and effectively is throttling my throughput down to the same rate I was getting before my ISP improved the service. So now I have a 60Mbps service, but unless I disable IPS, cannot actually get the benefit of it. Not good enough!
After lots of reading on the various Cisco sites, I recently purchased a Cisco RV042G router. Its 800Mbps spec suggests throughput will not be an issue. An in fact that is confirmed by running speedtest.net, where results of 62Mbps/2.8Mbps are surprisingly marginally lower than the RVS4000/IPS Disabled, but OK. I now also discover that the RV042G does not have IPS.
My network-savvy colleague said "To be honest IPS is a luxury you don't really need IMHO. You must be in a tiny minority in terms of home users with such a feature. It's such a drain on resources because it's examining the contents of every packet to see whether it recognises an attack signature. Standard residential gateway routers don't do it. They have a regular NAT function, which automatically blocks any unsolicited inbound connections, and a firewall to keep out any broadcast traffic."
Given his comment, and my experience with the two routers, I am on the verge of returning the RV042G for a refund as it seems to be adding nothing new that I need. But first I would like to hear the considered opinions of the community users:-
1) Simply put, should I just stick with my RVS4000 and run it with IPS off, as I have it set now?
2) How important is IPS in a domestic setting?
3) Is there another similar Small Business product that I should be looking at? I do not particularly want a router with integral wifi, but I could consider replacing both the RVS4000 and the adjacent WAP4410N with a suitable all-in-one.
I am running out of time to send the RV042G back to my supplier.

I was wondering how does failover works on Cisco Small Business RV016. Specifically, I am interested when one WAN line stop working, and all the computers in the LAN start using another line. Does it means that IP addresses of the computers in the LAN will change, or they stay the same? If they change can I set it up that they always stay the same no matter which input WAN they are using?

I am trying to setup a RV180 and 3 wireless access points. I want the AP's to have 2 ssids that are isolated from each other. IE guest network and main network. I have setup VLAN's and my AP's support 802.1q and have ssid's with matching VID's. I was able to get this to work basically, but things seem to have gotten confusing when I plug the AP's into a POE switch instead of directly into the rv180. At this point I'm not sure exactly waht to ask. Maybe start by providing basic info on how I'm supposed to do this. I was under the impression that since both devices support 802.1q I could configure the VLANs on the router, and tell the AP's to apply a VID to the SSID and thing would work. This isn't the case unfortunately.

I am deploying a small wireless LAN (192.168.1.xxx) at a remote site and would like to access a PC at LAN IP address 192.168.1.2 across the Internet via TeamViewer so as to monitor devices on that LAN. The wireless LAN uses about 12 Cisco Aironet 1310 bridges in a ROOT-NONROOT (I guess this is point-to-multipoint?) configuration.Our ISP has given us a single static WAN IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and two DNS server addresses.
My intent was to assign our static WAN IP address from the ISP to our RV082 router, plug the LAN devices (including the PC at 1.2) into the RV082, and then use Network Address Translation (NAT) to forward TeamViewer traffic to the PC at 1.2. But the RV082's user manual says NOT to use the router's WAN IP address in the NAT table.So I'm confused as to how to send remote TeamViewer traffic to the PC inside my LAN. Is NAT not the way to do this? Should I be using port forwarding instead?I guess another way of skinning this cat would be to put a second NIC in the PC and let the second NIC have the WAN IP address so that it would be the first point of contact from outside, but that defeats some of my purposes for having the RV082 in the first place.

Trying to set up the Cisco VPN router for remote acces to our network.We have ATT Uverse DSL and it is a Motorola Router, i think NGT 510.the Uverse router has very limited setup options.I cannot set it up as a bridge.The only thing I can figure out is to set the ip passthrough option to the VPN router.We have a static ip address for our internet service.
I have tried several setup and connection options, but cannot get it to work.
1. How to physically connect the routers and network devices?
2. How to setup both routers to play nice.

I live in a two family residential house and we share a common fibre connection to the internet. In the basement we have a modem/router(zyxel) which is in "bridge mode". Therefore not acting as DHCP. Behind this zyxel we have a Cisco RVS4000 router. Ports 1 and 2 go to family A, and Ports 3 and 4 go to family B. Family A and B have separate routers which are both set to "access point mode". Family A has an ASUS RT-N66U router while family B has a dlink DIR-615. The asus has an "access point mode" while the dlink needs to be set up manually to achieve this. The dlink must also have a static IP adress. The asus can receive ip adress.
What I have unsuccessfully tried to achieve and am currently trying to separate the networks so that both families can access internett, but at the same time it must be impossible to access VLAN1(Family A) from VLAN2(Family B) vice versa. Meaning no communication between the two families through the local network.
I have tried different options but I am not sure how to deal with trunk, tagged, untagged etc. etc. etc. It seems every time I manage to create two different networks there is still accessability/communication between the two VLANs and everytime I manage to give out different IP adresses to different ports i.e. 192.168.10.xx and 192.168.2.xx it is still possible to communicate. What also usually happens is that the internetconnection is severed at the same time.
