Re: RAS and Static Routes

Yes. You need to configure the RRAS server at the home office to accept a
router to router connection (sometimes called LAN to LAN or site to site).
This involves configuring a demand-dial interface to act as the endpoint of
the VPN and setting up a static route for the remote office subnet linked to
this demand-dial interface.

The calling router then uses the name of the demand-dial interface (on
the answering router) as its username when it connects. The connection is
made to the dd interface and the static route is added to the routing table.
The "answering" router now has a subnet route for the remote office through
the VPN connection. (If you do not use the name of a demand-dial interface
as the username, you connect to the default interface and the static route
is not activated. You only get a host route back to the calling machine
itself. This how RRAS is able to handle multiple remote sites as well as
normal client-server VPN connections).

If the router at the remote site is also RRAS you can configure it the
same way to give more flexibility. (You then have the standard RRAS router
to router config which can be initiated from either end).

A remote office uses its vpn router to open a PPTP session with a Windows
2003 RAS host in the home office. The vpn router has a static route table
pointing the remote office LAN (192.168.10.0) to the home office LAN
(192.168.100.0) The RAS host is configured as a remote access server only.
Users on the remote office LAN have access to network resources in the
home
office. Is it possible to configure the RAS host so that users on the
home
office LAN may access resources on the remote office LAN over this same
PPTP
connection?

Thanks!
