Converting Satellite to Serial Connection

[arthurjjjc]

Hi,

Objective: Connecting our Head office from two different locations a) Warehouse b) Facotry. We already working on our head office to our warehouse via leased line but our factory connection via satellite connection.

Scenario 1 : We have our leased line connected from the head office to our warehouse with the current configuration:

I am putting my emphasis Serial 1, how will i configure the connection since our ISP provide a converter from ethernet port of Alcatel 990NT to the serial 1 connection of our router.

Do you have any idea on how can we resolve this and what configuration do i need to put on the factory router?

If you have any idea please give me a sample configuration for this specific scenario...

Hi

for the second Link since ur taking ur SP as ur carier better create a GRE tunnel between ur locations and pass on ur traffic over tht.

(considering ur SP providing connecivity on both ur HO and Factory side)

Just add 2 static routes one route on each site .

Default route in ur remote location(factory) router would be thru ur GRE tunnel and the route for ur factory subnets in ur HO would be thru the tunnel.

Hi,

Is there any special configuration from the Head office router that i need to do or same as the warehouse configuration?

Please advise..

Thanks..

Hi

Theres no specific config as such ..but do find the model config attached below.

HO :

inter ser 0/1

ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.252

!

int tu 0

ip address a.b.c.d 255.255.255.252

tunnel source x.x.x.x

tunnel destination x.x.x.y

!

ip route q.q.q.q w.w.w.w tunnel 0 (Static for warehouse)

q.q.q.q w.w.w.w = warehouse local lan

but do remember to remove the existing route for warehouse...0

Warehouse :

!

inter ser 0/0

ip address x.x.x.y 255.255.255.252

!

inte tunnel 0

ip address a.b.c.e 255.255.255.252

tunnel source x.x.x.y

tunnel destination x.x.x.x

!

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 tunnel 0 (default traffic from ur local lan towards tunnel)

!

do remove the existing routes to ur HO from warehouse..

have a look on this link too for ur own benefit..

hope this would help u out but do get back if u have any queries...

Hi! First, you should have specified how the conversion was done because there are several types of converters. But here are some options. If the modem converted ethernet to frame-relay (also uses V.35 serial connector and also seen as serial in the router), you should configure your serial port at both ends as frame-relay with DLCI similar with that configured at the converter. But if the conversion was from ethernet to serial (simple WAN interface that is), the transmission link would be transparent and you'll just have to configure a simple point-to-point connection between your two routers with the bandwidth dependent on the bandwidth provided by the converter. Hope this helps! Thanks - albert Ü
