Hi all,

I have two 871 routers. I have Router A setup as a EZVPN Server to accept remote PC clients. Router B, I want to setup to connect to Router A as a site to site VPN too.

First off - is it possible to have Router A perform both of these functions? (I'm asking this because when I run through the Site to Site VPN wizard, and tell it to use my WAN interface (FE4) for the interface for the VPN - it tells me I can't because I already have the EZVPN Server bound to the WAN interface)

Second - is this the best way to connect two sites together? Bascially I need both sites to be able to access printers/files servers at each site, as well as the IP phone system to talk to each site for direct extension dialing). Or would I be better off using Router B as a EZVPN Remote to connect to Router A's EZVPN Server?

Thanks!
 
This is very possible, though you are going to have to change the config for router B. Basically you going to to have Router B connect to router A as a vpn client, thus using Router B as a hardware vpn solution. That way you have the functionality you are looking for with EZVPN and Site-to-Site.
 
Not possible on the same interface---you can have only one crypto map per interface at any given time.
