Extra configuration scripts for lab testing the VPN solution

This section provides additional configuration that you may need if you want to lab test the VPN solution. It has scripts for:

zsetting up a PPPoE access concentrator for branch office 2 to connect to. In a test network, this access concentrator plays the role of the PPPoA or PPPoEoA service from your ISP or Telco

zsetting up a NAT gateway so you can verify your VPN clients passing through NAT-T. In a test network, this NAT gateway router plays the role of the hotel’s NAT gateway.

ISP's PPPoE access concentrator configuration

This configuration is provided only to allow you to bench test this VPN solution. In the live installation, your ISP or Telco provides your PPPoEoA or PPPoA service.

# SYSTEM configuration

set system name=ISP

#USER configuration

#Create user definitions for authenticating incoming PPPoE

#connections

add user="branch office 1" pass="branch 1" lo=no ip=222.222.222.1 mask=255.255.255.255 telnet=no

#For the branch office 2 user, use 222.222.222.3. This represents

#the dynamically assigned address that the ISP assigns in a live

#network.

add user="branch office 2" pass="branch 2" lo=no ip=222.222.222.3 mask=255.255.255.255 telnet=no
