asked on

adtran ta 608, cisco pix 501, win2k3 server, virtual private networking

OK, here is another question to all you experts, I know you can help me learn something new.

We just got a T1 line install (the data portion anyways). They installed an AdTran TA 608 router. We have a Cisco PIX 501 firewall, and a Windows 2003 Server.

Installation went fine and the internet is very fast. Now for the fun stuff.

In order for the AdTran to port forward, I have to call the ISP to set that up. I asked if it wsa possible for me to do it and they will send me a username/password to login to the AdTran.

We are going to be opening another store in the near future with DSL or cable internet and 2 Windows XP Pro machines.

In our current store with the T1 we have it setup like, AdTran to outside interface of PIX, 1 inside interface to lan with server attached to lan. We are going to need a vpn so we can share a database to the other store requiring file sharing. Also employees on the road will need to take pda cellphones to get access to the database as well.
I have read that the AdTran should be connected to the Windows Server, and a 2nd nic to the lan.

Should I setup this way or am I ok? And how would I go about setting up the VPN for this situation?

I am a noobie to T1 and vpn but am learning. TIA.

OK, I setup the Windows 2003 Server to accept incoming VPN connections, and it works fine internaly. I *think* I setup the Cisco PIX 501 to poit VPN connections to the server, so hopefully that is ok.

I did however, contact FDN and they made me an account on the AdTran. I do not see any options for port forwarding in the AdTran.

They did setup port forward port 3389 for RDP for me but I cannot find that in the AdTran to look as an example.

But this is for another question. Thanks guys you helped me out. And those links were great as well.

Definetly I figured that the PIX should be between our lan and AdTran...
