Thanks Jason...
The actual requirements for what I need to do are:
-tunnel IP traffic across the net between two locations, security is not a
great concern.
-route IP and IPX traffic internally on the network where the router will be
based. No IPX traffic needs to go through the tunnel.
What sort of IOS feature set would you suggest to do this? I am looking at
using L2TP between the two sites. From my understanding (so far!) IPSec
encrypts the data going across the tunnel, and I guess would not really be
necessary in my situation. Is it possible just to purely use L2TP? Any
other suggestions??
Also, once the tunnel is established, will users on a private network at one
location be able to ping a device on a private network at the other location
through the tunnel transparently??
Thanks again for all your help!!
sam.
