VPN Server to L3 switch to VPN Server

Hi All,

Has anyone successfully connected a server to another server via an L3 switch for site to site connectivity?

So something like this:

intranet 1 ---->virtual hub ----->L3 -----> virtual hub ----------cascade-------> virtual hub -> intranet 2
10.10.10.x __10.10.10.254_________192.168.1.254__________________________192.168.1.x

with local bridging on both sides.

also for the 10.6.4 example in the softether manual, does anyone have a complete setup with the routing table that works ?

Also, is there a way to convert a bridge to a server or a server to a bridge without reinstalling ?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi all,

I have figured out it is possible to connect server to server instead of brdige to server using L3.

I have it working at the moment and can share configs and or setups.

However, I am running into the strange issue of not being able to ping my centos vpn server from the other end of the tunnel(s)

any clues?

Michael

LocalBridge on linux server can't communicate with itself.

Hi,

FYI, you should be able to if you have TWO network cards... one for bridging and one for interface.
Actually, I solved this by adding some iptable rules to my centos vpn servers.

Contact me if you need details.

Thanks,

Michael
