I am working on a lab design to add some flexibility and test other
connection methods to the 44.0.0.0/8 network. I currently have a Linux
gateway running rip44d for my main connectivity to the other 44/8 subnets.
I have setup a Cisco based DMVPN where I can route other subnets to and
route back to the Linux gateway for access to other subnets. This
configuration also allows access from the public Internet to the allocated
subnets via a Linux gateway.
I have a diagram with a working layout and is in testing now. I am looking
to see if anyone might be interested in connecting up to my cloud and see
what and if any problems we may encounter. I use a very similar setup with
my customers and there are some distinct advantages:
- The end user would only need an internet connection and a Cisco
DMVPN capable router. I have used 800, 1800, 2800, 3700 series Cisco
routers.
- The DMVPN works when you plug the Cisco router into a direct
Internet or NAT connection. You can plug it in at home behind your Netgear
home router, use DHCP and a private address on the router "public"
interface.
- Many subnets can be routed through a single Linux gateway and
distributed easily.
- No issues with dynamic IP address from your provider.
If you are interested or have any comments or suggestions, take a look at
the network diagram I made at
