the 192.168.5.0, 192.168.10.0 192.168.15.0 192.168.100.0 are vlans in my network and the 192.168.7.0 is the lan in the distant router...THE 192.168.6.0 is another vpn but it's not what's bothering me now..

can you give me some help?

thanks in advance

Hi akapatos,

ACL 110 works as nat exemption, so by using this type of nat you can send the traffic through the tunnel without natting it to your public ip, that is why you have that ACL applied to the route map used for the following nat:

ip nat inside source route-map TRAFFICOUT interface Dialer0 overload

This nat is giving you internet access and also making sure your VPN traffic can go through the VPN tunnel.

The other 2 ACL's (140-150) are the encryption domains or interesting traffic, and that is the traffic that you are allowing to go through the VPN tunnel.

This link explains the Site to Site configuration on Routers really well:

Hope this info helps!!

Rate if helps you!
