Cisco WAN :: 2960 / 4507 L3 / Main Office Connect To Branch On Outdoor Wireless
May 18, 2012
I have been told to connect our branch offices over outdoor point-to-point wireless CPE. The wireless brand is Orthogon. The Main office got cisco 4507 L3 switch where all building switches terminate. DHCP,DNS and all application are hosted in main office. The branch office got ONE 24 port POE Switch cisco 2960 where all users will be connected, On Port 0/24 of 2960 switch at branch will terminate the outdoor Wireless and other end will be terminated on 4/15 of 4507 at main office? what command I need at both interface where Wireless is terminated.when we connect floor switches to 4507 we got these commands on access switches
I am trying to configure access to several remote offices for users who VPN into our main datacenter. The datacenter has a 5520, and the branches are connected through IPSec L2L VPNs. Branches all have 5505 or 5510's. Remote users use IPSec via the Cisco remote Client. Remote access into our data center works, and the L2L VPNs are perfect...just now that i need remote users to access the branches after Remote access VPNing (for support) i cant get that part to work.
We have used two Cisco RVS4000 to create the IPSec VPN between the main office and the branch office. The main office has SBS 2008. There is a Windows Server 2008 as the domain controller in the branch office. One branch office user has a laptop which is not in the domain, but his exchange account is set up in the Outlook. When he connects the laptop to the branch office network, he cannot connect to the exchange server and get the emails. Is there any configuration to set up in the router, server or Outlook?
I have got two 1841 and one 881 cisco router. I can keep any one of this router at HO and remaining at branch office. I have got a static internet IP at HO but dynamic IP at branch office. I want to setup a VPN to connect to HO from branch office through router. The branch connects through a private IP for internet purpose. Which VPN is the most secure and best for this purpose.
I am trying to set our VPN connection to route to our branch office from a VPN Client. So far I did not succeed and at this point I am stuck.At our office we have a VPN Server which enables VPN Clients to connect to our main office with an IP Range of 192.168.104.0 with subnet 255.255.248.0 and a branch office with a IP Range of 192.168.25.0 and a subnet 255.255.255.0Internally on the LAN the routing is done by our firewall, which acts as DHCP and Default gateway. It connects the 2 LANs by a leased line.When I ping an IP address in our branch office from our main office I get a reply.
Now when a VPN client connects it gets a IP Address in the range of the main office from our firewall and the client can connect to all computers in the main office network. However if i try to connect to a computer in the branch office it does not work.I tried a static route in the Routing and remote access Server (which is Windows Server 2003 R2) and I tried adding a static route to the DHCP settings on the firewall. In both cases it does not connect from the VPN Client to the branch office.Searching the internet, since the examples are all based on a setup with a RAS Server on both networks. The LANs are already "integrated"/"physicly connected" trough the routing on our firewall and its leased line.
I also tried settings on the VPN Clients machine. Settings like "Use gateway in remote network" on or off and tried adding static routes. This did not work, since the Default gateway I must use is not on the same range as the home network and returned an error trying that.What I noticed is that the VPN Client gets a route which uses the VPN CLient IP as default gateway. Makign a static route like that will work (I think), but since the IP addresses for the VPN clients are obtained through DHCP and can vary each time, there is no way (i think) to automate adding a route with, for example, a batchfile that I could give to the employees connecting trough VPN because of the variable IP.
I have a problem with a branch office setup, and I can't for the life of me think of what the problem is.I have a remote office setup, using an ASA 5505 that is set up to establish an easy vpn connection to the central network. The connection at the branch office is a 20/5 cable modem, the central network has a 25/25 fiber connection.
The issue I have is this. Wired clients work fine at this branch office, at least 95% of the time. I have a lightweight AP there that can come up and join the controllers at the central network, no problem. I haven't done anything with H-REAP because there are really no resources locally they need that would allow them to do their work, so all traffic is tunneled back to the WLC.
Wireless clients can authenticate to the AP, and I can get 15-20ms ping responses from them all day. Latency never comes close to the 600ms proposed limit with CAPWAP. Yet, for some reason the performance of the clients is problematic. Webpages will frequently not load correctly, they experience some freezing, and with one application we use - it refuses to load completely.If we bring these same computers to an AP connected to our central network, on the same SSID, they work flawlessly.
Something about this particular location is causing a lot of grief for our users.For what it's worth, we are running WCS 7.0.230.0 and the WLCs are on 7.0.116.0. The ASA is running a pretty basic configuration, pretty much out of the box with the easy vpn configuration entered.
I'd like to connect through a VPN the HQ office to a Branch using two ASAs.I have a 5520 in the HQ and 5505 in the Branch Office.My problem is in the Branch office where I have a dynamic IP (ADSL).
I couldn't find a example this kind of configuration.
We have AT&T Managed MPLS service are our datacenter and our branch office locations. AT&T has provided the routers and simply give us an ethernet connection. We also have ethernet connectivity to the internet through our datacenter...with our network being protected by an ASA 5520.Each branch location has a 29xx series router (voice gateway) and switching gear attached to their AT&T MPLS router. Some of our branches also have 3rd party cable internet service with an ASA 5505 to protect it from the internet. What I'd like to do is better utilize this cable modem/ASA5505 setup. Right now, if there were an outage, I would be connecting manually to the remote location to change static routes to point to the cable link and to configure a VPN tunnel between the remote and our DC.
I've followed Watchguard's instructions for configuring a Branch Office VPN connection, and I'm unable to connect. I have configured the Watchguard gateway to accept remote-to-local connections and put in the Watchguard's public IP address as the local connection, and the WRVS4400n's public IP as remote.The Linksys has the local VPN group configured as 192.168.0.0./24 and the remote gateway as the Watchguard's public IP Address.When I connect it remains "down" and I"m receiving errors saying it could not authenticate. I have the passphrase the same on both sides with 3DES and SHA1 configured.Does the WRVS4400n support this type of VPN configuration or am I wasting effort?
I am preparing to move two branch offices from a point to point T1 connection to Century Link Metro Ethernet.Currently my branch locations connect to my HQ 7204 router via a channelized DS3. I have a 4507R at HQ that I will connect the ME circuit to.We will also be moving our Internet connection on the ME circuit.Our service provider Clink will hand me a single Ethernet handoff for the Internet and branch office connections. For the first phase I will connect one branch office using ME. Once that is in place and tested we will move another office and so on. Then our final step is to move our web connection to the ME circuit.Each branch office has their own unique voice and data subnet. They each have a 2801 router and a 3560 switch. The routers are MGCP gateways with only one PSTN connection, a POTs 911 line on a FXO port.
So my questions are;
1 - Should I connect the ME directly in to the 3560 at the branch offices or use the Fa0/1 on the 2801? Fa0/0 is currently connected to the 3560.
2 - On my 4507R at HQ how will I configure the ME switch port? As a dot1q trunk port?
3 - Given that ME is basically a LAN connection will I have to re IP the branch office? HQ is 10.10.1.x/24. Branch is 10.10.166.x/24 (data) 192.168.166.x/24 (voice).
4 - On the 4507R will I need to configure a vlan interface for each branch subnet?
I attached two network diagrams. One represents our current topology (MEexisting) and the second represents the new ME circuit changes (MEprojected).
I have to setup what seems to be a very basic configuration, but it doesn't work. In our lab there is a cluster of switches with a 3550 that does all the routing for vlans. I need to simulate a sort of a small branch office that has one connection to the outside world (the lab network). [code] From the router I can ping any host on vlan 230 and other vlans,I can also ping the pc connected to e0/1.However from the PC I can only ping 192.168.1.1(e0/1) and 172.26.230.150 (e0/0) [code]
What are my best options to secure branch office connection to HQ over Provider MPLS cloud. Our existing Setup
<<HeadQuarter>> :: DataCenter hosting Email, ERP, Intranet, Voice Services 10mb link to Service Provider over MPLS CloudMPLS is terminated on a 3825 Router running advance Services
<<BrancOffice>>::Total 10 In Country Branch Offices2mb Link to Service Provider over MPLS CloudTotal users in each branch : 20 MPLS is terminated on a 2811 Router running advance Services
I just joined this company and they already ad a VPN to one of their partners that provides them access to some resources. We have now added a 2nd location but the partner wouldnt allow a 2nd VPN tunnel so the decision was made to give the new location a ASA5505 to tunnel thru the main office to access the resources at the partners site.Using ASDM i believe i was able to setup the tunnel to the main office but there is no resource there to use. Now i'm stuck and i do not know what to do to get to the partner site
We have a main office and 4 remote offices (only showing 1 remote office in the diagram). We are using GRE over IPSec VPNs to the remote offices which terminate on the 2811 router in the main office. We are using the 2811 as it is the only device that we have that can terminate GRE. The 2811 router is connected to the outside switch and is configured with a public IP address. We also have a ASA5510 in the main office which is connected in the same manner and is used for Web, e-mail traffic etc.Both the main office and remote offices have a 10Mbps Internet connection.
We have an issue with voice quality between sites as we are finding it difficult to control bandwidth utilization in the main office. When users in the main office download web content it can saturate the 10Mbps Internet connection causing voice quality issues. We have configured outbound shaping on the branch routers to make sure that aggregate inbound traffic from all branches to the main office does not saturate the link but we cannot control traffic from the Internet.I understand that controlling inbound traffic from the Internet is difficult without controlling QoS on the ISPs side. Is there any way that can reserve inbound bandwidth to ensure that web traffic does not impact voice? Also in this design, which is the best place to configure outbound QoS from the main office?
I'm using a RV082 with latest firmware v4.0.4.02tm in one of our branch offices. Sometimes the tunnel to the main office (IPCOP 1.4.21) fails. Both sides display the status "tunnel connected" but IP traffic doesn't go through. If i try to ping the main office using the RV082 diagnostic feature, the RV082 seems to run into a loop...the window continues refreshing without any error message and i'm not able to cancel the test. If I restart the RV082 using the web interface, the "diagnose" and VPN problem still exists, even if the web interface told me that the device did a restart.
The only solution is to to a cold restart of the RV082. After that, the VPN tunnel works again....
This problem occurred 3 times in the last 3 weeks. I never hat this problem with previous firmware versions at this ot other sites.
Our Headquarter (asa 5510) is running a site to site vpn connection with a Branch office (router 2811). All remote users are accesing the internet through the VPN and also accesing headquarter file servers.I want to know if there is a way for some remote users to be able to use the vpn for accesing the file servers but to access the internet through the branch office. The rest of the remote users will be still accessing the internet through VPN.
Two computers (XP and Win7) connected on office LAN, cisco 2960, not same switches, but all in the same rack, and link togeter, same IP subnet, tried to copy some kind of 26G files from one to another, using Windows share folders, and it showed need 23 hours to finish the copying.It's not the first time, actually we always experienced very slow speed when copying files on Windows share folders. Did not see any particualler message on the switch. ports are all full/100m.
I have a desktop computer which is connected to the router by cable, but when this computer is on I can't connect to the wireless network with any other devices.When I turn the main computer off though I can connect fine with any wireless device.
I have a network where I have two wireless routers wired to a third (main) router. I want to connect a third wireless (Linksys WRT 54GL) to the main router,but I want to connect wirelessly (without any cables). I have tried to bridge it,ie disabling DHCP and assigning a static IP address which is in the same range as the main router but still if i connect my laptop using the third router I cant log onto the internet and worst still I cant ping the main router. The main router is the one that is connected to the proxy server. My connections are as follows,from the wireless antenna the cable goes to the proxy server's wan port,the main wireless router is linked to the server's lan port.My server's LAN ip is 192.168.0.1 and the main wireless router is 192.168.0.2 I have two other routers which are wired to this main wireless router and their local IP addresses are 192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.5 respectively. I want to connect a third wireless router to the main router but this time without using a cable. What i have done so far is I have assigned it the IP address 192.168.0.6 and I have disabled DHCP,all the other settings I have put the same as the main wireless router.
We have been unable to connect our PSPs to the new E2000, and after several hours we're ready to throw in the towel and go get a different router!The PSPs only see the "guest" connection when using the scan option, but cannot connect to it. Even after manually adding both the main and the guest info we are STILL unable to connect either of the PSPs We had an older router from your company which we had no issues connecting 6 desktops, a lappy, 2 psp, 2 ds, 2 xbox 360, and a Wii, as well as our smart phones. After this recent "upgrade" to the E2000 the PSPs CANNOT connect no matter what we do. It gives many different error messages.
I have my laptop. I need to use my broadband connection at my home. Also I need to use my laptop with wifi at my office. We do not have any dhcp servr at office. What I am doing now is changing ip configuration at office every day manually.
My computer at work crashed so I had to reinstall windows 7.When it was working properly I was able to connect to our main server computer. After the reinstall I am able to connect to the internet however I am unable to connect main server computer. Usually, before it crashed, the server would automatically show up in the networks folder. Now all I can see it my computer and not the server computer.If someone knows how I can get my computer connecting to the main server I have tried everything and nothing is working.The main server computer it Windows XP and my computer is Windows 7.
I have four Laptops,and also have SMCWBR14S-N4(SOHO) Wireless Routers. The issue is if i connect to my main Laptop all the other laptops gets disconnected. I have checked the mac filtering, reset the Router & reconfigured with new wireless settings still the issue persist. If i connect the Laptop to the modem main Laptop works fine.
A couple days ago my administrator account stopped being able to connect internet via wireless or Ethernet however my other accounts can still access it. I went to find a restore point but they have all been deleted. I'm not sure if it is a virus or something else.
I've been tasked with providing wireless coverage for an outdoor courtyard. The wireless that bleeds out into the courtyard is minimal for both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. I'm thinking a 3502p mounted just inside the wall hooked to a ANT25137NP-R patch antenna mount on an exterior wall. The red line on the wall will represent the antenna mounted on the wall. This will be providing coverage for phones on 5Ghz and general devices on 2.4.
My problem ist that i have 4 air-cap-1552e APs witch are powerde trugh Power Injectors. They worked fine for a few days but then the controller (7.2.111.3) lose connection to them. Right now i have only one Joined AP. The other 3 are status not joined. I can Ping all 4 Aps and wifi clients are connected through them.
I am expanding coverage in a big outdoor area.Most of the area is covered with AP1552 with AIR-ANT2506 5,2 db antennas.At the border of the area i have some masts where i can place ap's.Would it make sense to use directional antenna's there? I have a big open area where it is not possible to place ap's.The only placement is a mast in the middle of the area.I have a AP1552 with 5,2 db antennas there.Can i get better coverage if i place 3 or 4 ap's with directional antennas ?Or should i try with a 12dBi AIR-ANT24120 ?
Customer wants to place a single 1552E to cover a particular area in his campus, and it will be placed on a tower, and the question is concerning the height. I can not find any particular height limitation such as 5 meters, 10 meters, etc. I understand this will influence the sign propagation as well as throughtput to the users, but can not find a matrix or a best practice guide for that.
