Question : Problem: VPN -- Over cisco router or dell server running windows 2003
|
|
Need expert advice here. I have a wide area network containing 3 cisco 1811 dual wan routers all VPN'd to the Corp. office. I also have 3 DC's that replicate to the primary master at the Corp. office as well. Question is: I want to setup some kind of VPN for the home users. What would be the best way to set this up at the Corp. office?
(A) Should I use the Cisco 1811 Dual WAN router for this? If so what would be the best way? (B) Should I use the Primary master DC for this? If so what would be the best way?
To give you some more info on the router -- I have 2 different ISP's connected to this dual wan router. One of the IPS's is the primary route. The other is for the office tunnels and failover for the internet.
Regards,

Apologies for the late response. What IOS are you running on the 1811's ? - depends how many tunnels it will run - Post a "show version" would help. Setting up the router as a vpn server does not make it less secure, as long as it's properly configured. It's probably a matter of preference for most, server people may say it's better to setup a server to do it, but IMHO I prefer to terminate a vpn on a router/firewall.
