Searching for a temporary cheap site-to-site vpn

[kristine.meganck]

hello,

we are looking for a temporary cheap site-to-site vpn between 2 branches. The network layout on HQ is a Cisco 2600 as external router and a linux firewall.

The other branch has a cisco 2514 and watchguard firebox II. Both firewalls has 3 network cards in use and cannot be extended. Can someone give me a cheap solution for setting up VPN ? We thought about placing a PIX 506 in parallel with the two firewalls ? Will this work ? And is this secure ?

Since the PIX can’t route off it’s own interface it can’t be placed in parallel with the existing firewall. All your traffic has to go through one gateway. Why don’t you just run the IPSEC image on both Cisco routers involved?
