vpn over INA

Go to the Livingston web site, they make the INA router. Check out the Portmaster series. There is, of course, the documentation that comes with the INA card, which has ALL the commands. If you're not familiar with routing schemes, you may ned to get a little help.

I have been told by some that the INA would not support VPN or even NAT. And, if the network has public adresses, ie:192.168.x.x that this would be impossible. I have a server in NY that the software vendor in Ohio wants to be able to access via the internet for updates and such. Can this be done?
This should not be a problem, I set up a system that was using the address range 192.168.10.xx on their local network and 192.168.10.255 as the broadcast address. 192.168.10.1 was used for the LAN side of the INA (router)board, the WAN port is the WAN port of their ISP. This is a pretty simple setup, with only one location and connection to the internet is via the INA Board.
Complex configurations take a little more paperwork than this of course, as well as creating your own ipfilters or NAT, as opposed to using the defaults.
Hope this helps,
Franke

fonedude,
do you have the booklet that came with the INA board? For a simple installation that's pretty much all you need. If not, I should have a copy I can e-mail you.
The other information you'll need:
From the customer:
1) IP range being used.
2) Do they have a dedicated domain server, and what Operating System are they using.
3) What OS are the the end users computers.
That should get us started on the customer side.
From the ISP:
The customer LAN block-- normally an ISP will supply a block of 5 -15, though we won't be using these for our example. (You will use them if you plan on running a Web site or e-mail server).
1) The customer gateway (router) address and subnet mask.
2) The customer WAN block.
3) The customer side of the WAN.
4) The ISP side of the WAN.
That should do us for the ISP.
For the tech:
Channels assigned for data on the INA board. This must be set up in the Merlin system prior to working on the INA board.
A couple of caveats...
***DO NOT post any real world IP addresses (the WAN side), make something up.
Bear in mind that the INA board is a 10 MPS ethernet router, if your network users are all running 100 MPS ethernet cards or token ring, it ain'ta gonna work. You'll have to invest in a 10/100 switch or switchable hub.
If I have any documentation, send me an e-mail and I'll do my best to get it to you as quickly as possible.

I'll try and keep as much as possible on the forum in case there are others trying to set up their INA boards.

This may or may not apply, but recently we ran into a problem with the INA card connecting to a network of Cisco routers which ran in the "Cisco Proprietary" mode (if you don't talk Cisco we're not talking to you ). INA will not run Cisco proprietary, and thus we had to replace the INA with a Cisco router, 3160, and 100 DCD. Apparantly Avaya was in the dark about this one as well. This may not be an issue for you, but for all practical purposes, the INA will work just fine. ..... some things just aren't practical
