Hi Christophe,
I have been looking into a similar solution except I have 5 branches
accessing ALL their services from the head office and everything needs to
be encrypted. I arranged the establishment of a PVC over fibre for 2 of
the branches to the head office and have setup a router at one of those
branches to also connect 2 other branches through it. This still leaves me
with the problem of encrypting traffic from 1 branch to the head office.
I called my local Cisco rep and gave them my scenario. They recommended a
router based encryption solution at first but then I said I wanted 3DES and
there would be approx 30 people using the connection from the branch. They
told me the throughput on a 25/2600 series router is only about 256Kb@3DES.
That means I can't utilize my 2Mb fibre connection between offices. =(
They suggested I use the brand new PIX506. I told them at first I didn't
have that kind of money but they explained that Cisco realized their
shortcomings in the SOHO firewall market and designed this PIX with that
segment in mind. It has 7Mb throughput @3DES and costs only $2300 CDN,
less than my 2600 routers here. I just found my solution but I have yet to
implement it. It's still in proposal right now. I'm planning on putting a
PIX506 in the branch and moving the PIX520 we already have at our website
branch to the head office.
Hope this helps. Don't quote ME on the stats because I got them from a
rep.

Hello,
I wish to setup a 3DES VPN between two sites (a local and a remote site) on
a 2MB serial link using 2 2502 cisco routeurs. I will have 30 people
working on the remote site using telnet session, NT file and print with
servers in the local site.
Do you think the 25XX could handle such calculation (3DES processing) for
such amount of user. If yes is someone already setup such thing ?
regards,
Christophe.
