ughh...that picture didn't work...the diagonal lines in the 1st pic are supposed to come from the HQ LAN and Branch LAN, respectively. the 2nd picture should have the lines come from the outside interfaces of R1 and R2, respectively.
send me an email if you need clarification... thanks, eddie -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Edward Sohn Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 5:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: HSRP [7:59148] I have an HQ-to-Branch Office configuration with two separate VPN connections like the following: HQ LAN------ R1 ---PIX1-------------INTERNET------------PIX2----R2-------Branch LAN \ / \ / ------R3-----PIX3---------INTERNET----------PIX4-----R4---- The network uses EIGRP, so I know that EIGRP will just choose the best route, which is fine. My question is: is the best practice to use HSRP between R1-R3 and R2-R4 as the LAN default gateway on the respective site? Or should I just choose one router as the gateway and let EIGRP choose the best path? Also, if I used two separate GRE tunnels for either path on only ONE router on each site (with only one ethernet interface) as shown below, what would be my potential problems, if any? Obviously, I know there would be better hardware redundancy with two routers at each site, but is it even recommended to do such a configuration? I have to consider every possibly option to save money for my customer (this config would save the customer one router on each end).
