Hi
I am not too familiar with CISCO stuff, but here goes
I am looking for CISCO routers that can create secure tunnels on demand
I want a router /device that can be told from the corporate network create a tunnel to an another device / router, that is at a remote site.
The sites will be connected by ADSL. The tunnel must be shut down on demand.
There will not be a need for the remote site to start the connections
Can any one point me to a CISCO or other devices that can do this?
Thanks
I can think of several ways to handle this, distinguished mostly by the interface that would be used to signal the 'demand' and the shutdown notification. How were you envisioning that that part of it would be handled?
Does that imply that the remote sites will have dynamic IP addresses? If that is the case, then creating tunnels to them is harder: the current IP would have to be known in order to start the connection.
I am not to sure about that yet, the ideal way would be to do it via some sort of a script, but if it is an appliance that option would not be available. I can formulate that once I know the choices I have
The IP at the other end would be fixed.
