VPN on a stick

Hi All

I'm using a Cisco 881 router with IOS version (Cisco IOS Software, C880 Software (C880DATA-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.4(24)T3,
RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)).

This router is used to connect a remote site (/24 network) to the company main site via a site 2 site VPN tunnel.  In general the /24 network is on the LAN interface (vlan1) and the VPN tunnel is build up from the WAN interface.  This works just fine.

Right now, we have a special situation and the goal is to use a Cisco 881 router doing the same just using a single interface (VPN on a stick).

In the following I will provide some more detail:

1) the remote network ist 192.168.1.0/24

2) the vlan1 interface address is 192.168.1.2

3) the DSL router IP address is 192.168.1.1

4) IP addresses 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.254 is used by the clients (subnet 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.2)

5) main site network 10.10.0.0/16

Could anybody tell me if this is possible?  If so, could you please provide details how to do that and/or a sample configuration?

Thanks for your help.

Stefan

if i understand it right u want your vpn clients to access resources on remote end via site to site tunnel

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

There are no VPN Clients involved.  There are just normal clients in the /24 network.  This network should be connectec to the main company by a site 2 site vpn tunnel.  In normal situation we use the Cisco881 with the 2 interfaces (WAN / LAN) without any problem.  In this special case, the Cisco 881 should be used with only a single interface.

i dont know how your network is setup but here are general instructions

as far as vpn is concerned all you need is static route specifying .1 as the gateway and do not bring natting into picture as this traffic will not under go natting anyway

if you can briefl tell us your topology we will be in a better position to answer

Hi

Thanks for your reply and sorry for replying so late but I was on vacation the last 2 weeks.  To better understand my question I created a little sketch (please see attached png graphik.

In addition a little description in words (as good as I could):

The clients in the remote location (networks 10.10.10.0/24) should be able to talk to clients in the near location (network 10.10.30.0 /24).  The remote clients are configured to use the gateway 10.10.10.1.  Data packets received on gateway 10.10.10.1 are routed directly to network 10.10.20.0/24 or to the next gateway 10.10.20.1 exept for traffic with destination address from network 10.10.30.0/24.  This traffic is routeted to Cisco 881 router with ip address 10.10.10.2.  Now I want this router to bild a vpn tunnel to the near location ASA with IP address 192.168.30.1.

To do that, my idea was to create a virtual interface on cisco 881 with IP address 192.168.10.1.  This interface I wanted to use as VPN end point.  All traffic received on 10.10.10.2 (should be traffic from network 10.10.10.0/24 to 10.10.30.0/24 only - routed to 10.10.10.2 from gateway 10.10.10.1) should on Cisco 881 be routed to 192.168.10.1.  Here it should be rated as intersting traffic and cause the VPN tunnel to be created.  To initiate the VPN tunnel, the virtual interface 192.168.10.1 should start talking to 192.168.30.1. Therfore, for the ip address 192.168.10.1 should be a NAT/PAT on interface 10.10.10.2.

At least, this was my idea to make this work.  Unfortunatelly I failed up to now.  Either I'm doing something wrong or it just isn't possible.

Is there a way to make this work?

Hi All

In the meantime I got VPN on a stick to work.  However, one thing is still missing.  For sure somebody here could help me with that.

After the VPN Tunnel is established, I want to configure the Router from the remote location (10.10.62.0/24) using Cisco Configuration Professional, ssh or telnet.

But I can' get access to interface vlan 1.  I'm sure, that's about not having a nat for interface IP address 10.10.55.198.  Extending the NAT to have ip address 10.10.55.198 nated also breaks the initiation of the vpn tunnel.  How could I get this to work?
