Hi, asking on behalf of my peer, They are having an issue with their TW server. I seem to recall that the TW server has (or can have?) 2 nics. I had loosely chatted with my VAR about this a while back and he indicated that its AOK to hang the second nic outside and bypass the VPN/gateway all together.

Comments as always appreciated.

Thanks!

Jim
 
A teleworker may or may not have/need a second nic. Depends on the config of your system. You'll need to log in to see.
But I'm not clear as to what you are trying to do. Are you trying to bypass your firewall?

I have a site with 2 NIC's on their TW computer.
The first NIC is attached to their Network, receiving DHCP from the Mitel.
The second NIC is on the external dedicated (Static IP address from ISP) internet.

The two are in Gateway/ server mode.
 
Thanks YnotPhone, thats what I thought you could do.

Hi Ralph, yes, trying to bypass firewall. There seems to be a subnet conflict or some other issue they are having.

Jim
 
It's doable. You'll need to do a physical inventory of the server to be sure you actually have a second NIC.
Assign a public IP to it - it cannot be nat'ed. The inside NIC should be on the voice network.
Fairly straight forward change.

Hey JimHilton,

YnotPhone is correct, however you can also getaway with one NIC as well. Here are the ports that need to be configured on the Firewall:
TCP 22 (SSH) Server ? Internet (AMC communications)

UDP 20,000 to 23,000 (RTP)Server ? Internet Server ? LAN (voice communications)

UDP 1024 to 65,535 (RTP) Server ? LAN (voice communications)

TCP 6800, 6801 and 6802 Server ? LAN Server ? ICP(s)( MiNet call conrol)

If you are using 5235 sets there are a few more than need to be configured as well.

Thanks all for the tips, I'll pass them all along and hopefully it will take the whole issue of the VPN off the plate.

Thanks again!

Hi Telecomp9434,

TCP 22 (SSH) Server ? Internet (AMC communications)UDP 20,000 to 23,000 (RTP)Server ? Internet Server ? LAN (voice communications)UDP 1024 to 65,535 (RTP) Server ? LAN (voice communications)TCP 6800, 6801 and 6802 Server ? LAN Server ? ICP(s)( MiNet call conrol)


Are the above setting done in the 3300 AMC interface? Firewall Control and Port Forward Table? Thank you.
