Adding a data T1 to current network

Trey,

Thank you for the response.  Hmm so adding the connection to the current network does not look promising eh?  Well let me ask you this then.  Today deltacomm turned up the INET T1 at the Corporate office, would it be possible without too much trouble to grant access to the Internet at the satellite office so that they could just use netscreen to VPN in to our current network over the Internet?  I do not have any "real" hardware left here at the office, only thing I could scrounge up would be a Linksys Router and a Netgear Switch.  I know adding a raw INET connection to that internal network would not be best practice but my boss is willing to risk it.

Best Regards,
John

Forgot to post deltacomm's equipment.

Not sure not knowing your exact layout. The satellite office should be able to VPN in as long as it's peer is the Juniper firewall at the Corp office.  You could use your Linksys router to put behind the satellite office router just to have some firewall protection.

TreyH,

Thank you again for the response.  Let me try and explain the set up I currently have and what I am trying to accomplish.  This is the current point to point setup that Deltacomm has in place.


172.16.6.0[adtran904]---t1---|
                                              | ===t1===|[adtran904]172.16.1.0          90.x.x.x[adtran600r]|-----INTERNET
172.16.8.0[adtran904]---t1---|

The x.x.6.0 and x.x.8.0 are remote locations connected to the Corp x.x.1.0 location via point to point T1s.  Each location has a ADTRAN 904 router configured by Deltacomm.  The 90.x.x.x is the Internet T1 also located at the corporate office.  There is a data cable running between the 600r and the 904 routers at the coporate office.  The cable connects into the NTWK port on the 600r and the NET T1/01 port on the 904, again this was also installed by Deltacomm.

My goal is to establish internet access on all of the 172.x.x.x networks, currently webpages just time out at all locations.  If I can manage get them internet access they will be able to use the EMR software by connecting via NETSCREEN VPN software to our current network, which in turn will make my boss happy and the peasants will rejoice.  I hope I have made things a bit more clear.

Best Regards,
John

TreyH,

tracert from satellite office yields the following result.

tracert yahoo.com

1. 172.16.6.1   internal satellite adtran 904 IP
2. 10.x.x.2       external satellite adtran IP
3. 10.x.x.1       external corp adtran IP
4. 10.x.x.2
5 10.x.x.1
6. 10.x.x.2
etc.... for max number of hops.

So web traffic just seems to bounce back and forth between the two adtrans.  Not sure if this is helpful at all but I can not quite grasp what I am missing very frustrating.

TreyH,

There are several static routes terminating in hop 0.0.0.0
10.x.x.1 next hop 0.0.0.0
10.x.x.2 next hop 0.0.0.0
Then another static for 0.0.0.0 next hop ppp 1
These were added by deltacomm.

I know I am missing something simple, thanks again for all your help.

John

Sorry, I'm just not familiar with the Adtran units to be able to give much advice. There may not be a way to do it without temporarily changing routes on the routers. What IP did you trace route when you got the looping results?

Well I got it working after not hearing from Tech Support for three days I went in to the INET router deleted the 0.0.0.0 with subnet 0.0.0.0 next hop PPP 1 static route deltacomm had placed in there.  I then put in the same route 0.0.0.0 with a 0.0.0.0 subnet but next hop the Gateway I set up and it worked fine.  I am guessing both routers had next hop PPP 1 for all unknown network traffic which caused the traffic to just ping pong between the AdTrans.  I am awarding you the points Trey for at least attemping to help and give me a starting point.

Best Regards,
John
