Help in configure Cisco VPN configuration

[Vignesh Ekanathan]

Hi guys,

I need some help in configuration of Cisco IOS VPN. Basically, we have 2 cisco 1811 routers in our company.

1. Router 1 - Production router (IP 192.168.x.254)
2. Router 2 - VPN router (IP 192.168.x.251).

All machines/servers inside our network has been configured with a default gateway of 192.168.x.254. Hence, all internet traffic will go through the production router.

Now,  we want to deploy a new router (i.e. Router 2) which will be solely used for VPN purpose (such as DMVPN, IPsec site to site, VPN client configuration etc).

I have configured Router 2 with Cisco VPN client and can connect to this using VPN client application from my home pc. However, once I connect to it, I am not able to ping anything inside this network other than Router 2 IP (192.168.x.251).

Is there anything else that I would need to put into the configuration so that I can ping everything inside the network?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Vignesh.

Hi Vignesh,

I assume you created a new vpn pool for Remote Access clients on the Router 2 ?

If so, you will have to have a static route ( for the VPN pool range) on the Router 1 pointing the Router 2.

Let me know how you go..

Please rate this post if helpful.

In addition to Shamal, I believe you will also need to add static route from Router 2 pointing to Router 1 as well.

Hi Shamal,

Yes! Your answer helped. I added a static router (VPN pool range) on Router 1 pointing towards Router 2.

Worked like a charm!

Cheers heaps.
