Re: RRAS setup / VPN



RRAS would work. You would have a RRAS at both ends and setup a Site-to-Site
VPN between them. A Site-to-Site with RRAS is really a "double" connection
with each RRAS box "calling" the other. Each connection is outbound so it
takes both of them to have two-way communication.

The RRAS built in Help should have all the information you need to get it
going. Just keep in mind that you want a Site-to-Site VPN (aka
Router-to-Router VPN), and not a Remote Access VPN. An RA-VPN is not the
same thing and won't behave as you want.

Hi all -

I was wondering if it's possible to setup RRAS as a router that is
automatically VPN'd into another network?

We currently have a Point-to-Point T1 connecting two offices. The line
is used for voice and data. If it goes down, like it just did, we're
in trouble. We can live without the voice but we need a data
connection backup. Can RRAS be setup as a router (we would change
user's Default Gateway to point to RRAS server) and also have RRAS
VPN'd into other network? Able to access resources on the other
network, as if the Point-to-Point was up and running?

If RRAS isn't a solution, can anyone recommend one?

Thanks in advance,
Jason
