I'm using a Linux IPCop to connect several smaller offices to the corporate HQ. &nbsp;These offices are too small to justify a dedicated T1. &nbsp;Here's the network layout:<br />
<br />
Host Site Networks: 192.168.0.0, 192.168.5.0, 192.168.8.0, 192.168.9.0, 192.168.10.0, 192.168.11.0, 192.168.30.0, 192.168.50.0 192.168.60.0, 192.168.100.0, 192.168.102.0, etc...<br />
<br />
Remote A Network: 192.168.6.0<br />
Remote B Network: 192.168.15.0<br />
Remote C Network: 192.168.16.0<br />
and so on...<br />
<br />
I need to be able to set routes on the Remote IPCops to access the networks at the host site. &nbsp;By default the remotes can access the 192.168.0.0 network via ipsec vpn at the host site. &nbsp;However, I'm having problems adding a route to the remote IPCops that will be able to access to the other host networks. &nbsp;I have already setup routes in the host IPCop to be able to access all networks at that location and have verified with pings and trace routes. &nbsp;I'm having problems with the Linux &quot;route add -net&quot; and sending the route over the VPN.<br />
<br />
All suggests are welcome!<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

How to set routes on remote IPCop to access all subnets at host site

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPsec can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). IPsec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite.
