Re: [expert] ifconfig help - setting up a VPN

2002-04-05 Thread Woody Green

You have the FreeS/WAN (freeswan package) on Mandrake 8.2 (may also be
on 8.1, I'm not sure) for IPsec implementation.  It should interface
with the Cisco router with minimal difficulty.  Check out
www.freeswan.org for online documentation setting up IPsec with
freeswan.  We use it here at work, but have Linux at both ends of each
tunnel.  The setup was real easy and there are quick setup guides at the
site mentioned above including the ramifications for iptables, ipchains,
and ipfwadm.

Good luck,

 woody

 Hello all,
 
 I'm trying to set up a VPN so I can connect to work from home.
 I ran the Cisco 3.51 VPN software, and it created this interface, call it
 someipsec0.
 There's no docs, so I'm guessing that I need to run ifconfig on it to bring
 it up, maybe like:
 
 /sbin/ifconfig someipsec0 192.168.0.3 pointopoint 10.190.xx.xxx
 
 except that doesn't work.  I'm not even sure about ppp, that was a guess,
 too.  
 Anyone had any experience with Cisco's VPN, or have any ifconfig voodoo that
 might help?
 
 Thanks for any help,
