[VPN] VPN on a through two Cisco routers?

[Ken's Work Laptop]

Hey everyone.  I am wondering how feasible it is to run a IPSec firewall (using two Linksys BEFVP41) through two Cisco routers, which are setup in the following manner.

Internet connection goes into the first Cisco router which is using a private IP range of 192.1.0.x/255.255.255.0.  Off of this router is another Cisco router which is providing a network of 192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0.  My Linksys router is on this network and has it's own network of 192.168.2.x/255.255.255.0.  Now, I do not have the model numbers on hand, but I am expecting an email shortly with those model numbers and I will reply to the list with them once I have them, but I need to find out if there is a better way to handle this.  Basically, the VPN is going to be used to reach a VoIP phone switch on the 192.168.1.x network, but there are phones on the 192.1.0.x network which are using the VoIP phone switch as well.  So, is having the LinkSys router on this network redundant or does it depend mainly on the Cisco switches?

  Subject: [VPN] Need a dedicated VPN box?


  Hi All,

  We're using PIX 515UR box as firewall and VPN both in our corporate office. Remote users (laptops) VPN in corporate network through PIX outside interface. The problem is that after VPN connected the remote users cannot browse Internet using corporate gateway which is PIX inside interface. Do I need a dedicated VPN box? Which box you recommend? Please advice.

   

  The VPN configuration in PIX is PPTP and we have about 10 remote users.

   

  Thanks a lot.

   

  Roger
