Linksys Wired Router :: RVS4000 Create IPSec VPN Between Main And Branch Office
Aug 2, 2011
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 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.
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 just installed an RVS4000 router for a SOHO. I have no problem getting out to the internet so access from LAN -> WAN is working fine. The problem is with VPN access from the WAN.I created a VPN account and set up QuickVPN on a PC making sure I imported the certificate. I can connect to the router with no problem and I can even connect to the routers web admin page.But that's where it ends. I cannot connect in any way, shape, or form to PCs on the LAN through the VPN. I can't even ping them.Am I missing something in the setup of the router?
This is the only reason I bought this router as the old one was working fine. How to fix getting through the router to connect to the computers on the LAN.
after using BEFSR41 for a long time without any problems, I decided to buy a new router RVS4000 to be able to have gigabit connections.
The problem is when I download a youtube video or I use VPN or even a desktop remote access, it always disconnect. I've seen many and many posts on this forum of people having this problem, I decided to try what you suggested to them:
- Changed the MTU to 1492 - Disabled IPS - Disabled Firewall - A couple of other things - I already have the latest firmware
... and i've done some other tests in my side but nothing worked so far, just like for those who had this problem. I strongly think it's a problem on the router and not a problem from the user.
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.
I have an RVS4000 located at my office. A user of mine also has one at their house. We have created an IPSec Tunnel between the 2 of them and have them successfully communicating between the 2 networks with no problem.
The problem I have is if I make a change on their end and the router needs to reboot to apply the changes, the WAN port never renews it's DHCP address. The end user must unplug the unit, plug it back in and then the system comes back up with the correct WAN DHCP address, and the tunnel is connected automatically.
I beleive they have the newest firmware (2.0.0.3) but I cannot confirm that right now as the unit is down. I bought the 2 of them at the same time - my unit at the office has the 2.0.0.3 firmware so I am assuming the users does as well.
I have successfully configured my Cisco RVS4000 for VPN Access, and Installed QuckVPN on my client machine. I can connect using QuickVPN no problem, but I cant access anything on my network. When I try pinging any of my servers I am unable to do so. I can ping my gateway thats about it.
I have a PPTP VPN server (WIndows 2008 R2) sitting behind an RVS4000, I have port forwarding for 1732 on and the client's (Windows 7) can reach the VPN server but cannot complete the connection due to an 806 error, which is GRE traffic related. I have PPTP passthrough on and have also created a ACL entry for PPTP traffic. I've seen many posts on this topic over several years with no solutions, and I do have the latest firmware (Version:V1.3.3.5). This is also definetely router related as I have absolutley no problem connecting when I point directly to the VPN server by internal IP address.
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.
I am trying to configure my RVS4000 to create my church's small network. I want to connect my internet DSL router on the WAN port and also segment my network with VLANs on the 4 LAN ports. I have port 4 connected to a wireless access point which is in VLAN1 for an open wireless network for any church member to access the internet through. I have a church server, printer and second access point on ports 1-3 in VLAN 34. All ports are untagged. I want the devices on VLAN34 which need confidentiality to be secure from the devices connecting to the internet from VLAN1 for open access but both VLANs need access to the internet..
My open wireless AP in VLAN1 has access to the internet on the WAN port.None of my devices in VLAN34 have access to the internet. I have tried using inter-VLAN routing but that made operation worse so I disabled it.
I've looked through the documentation that came with the router and there is no instructions on how to configure the 4000 to accept remote clients and access the local network. What the configurations are so a client can launch the vpn client, login, and remote desktop to their local workstations in the office? I don't have any tunnels or connections setup with other offices, just a simple client connection.Also, will the rvs4000 work with Cisco VPN client (comes with higher end appliances)?
I have RVS4000 v02 and created 3 VLANs - 192.168.70.0/24, 192.168.80.0/24, and 192.168.90.0/24 . I tired to created IP based access list to deny network 192.168.80.0/24 and 192.168.90.0/24 to have access to 192.168.70.0/24; and deny 192.168.90.0/24 to access 192.168.80.0/24.
MY ACCESS LIST from RVS4000 Deny All Protocol LAN 192.168.80.0/255.255.255.0 192.168.70.0/255.255.255.0 Any Time Every Day Deny All Protocol LAN 192.168.90.0/255.255.255.0 192.168.70.0/255.255.255.0 Any Time Every Day Deny All Protocol LAN 192.168.90.0/255.255.255.0 192.168.80.0/255.255.255.0 Any Time Every Day Allow All Service LAN ANY ANY Any Time Every Day Allow All Service WAN ANY ANY Any Time Every Day
* all access list is enabled.Both 192.168.80.0 and 192.168.90.0 network can still reach 192.168.70.0 network.
I am trying to connect a LAN to the internet via an RVS4000 for remote access to the LAN and cannot connect to the RVS4000. I am using a static WAN address, entered it in the WAN setup area (subnet, gateway, etc.). I do not use DHCP as all the LAN units are static addressed. I rebooted, etc. but cannot see the router externally (I am pinging from a remote site).If I plug my laptop into the WAN cable and set the laptop to the WAN adress, I have no issues. I have checked the cables (all CAT5e shielded), checked both straight through and crossover cables, and have no luck.
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]
How to set up RVS4000 QOS settings to work with a VOIP phone system? I need to get the QOS active on the VPN so that a remote office with VOIP phones can reach the PBX at the main office over the Internet connection.
I need properly configuring the RVS4000 device. I need all devices to be on the same subnet (192.168.0.x) and if I am drawing this out correctly in my head I would perform the following:Connect LAN port of RVS4000 to LAN port of the switch and statically assign a LAN IP of 192.168.0.251 to the RVS4000Switch is connected to LAN port of the 2Wire (192.168.0.254)Change operating mode from Gateway to Router in the RVS4000 Connections to the RVS4000 will obtain a DHCP IP address from the 2Wire that's upstream.As the WAN port of the RVS4000 would be unused, will it still answer requests for a VPN connection assuming the proper ports are forwarded to it?
I am trying to create a VPN tunnel between two RVS4000 Routers through a WAN. I get the following error when trying to do so. "remote Security Group" and "Local Security Group" can't be in the same network.
What are my best options to secure branch office connection to HQ over Provider MPLS cloud. Our existing Setup

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?
