L2TP network server 2821 router?

Can 2821 router with appropirate IOS image be L2TP network server and support 400-500 L2TP simultaneous connections? We want to use access VPDN that uses L2TP as tunneling protocol to provide remote users access to our services and to the Internet.

Hi Marija,
That's right, the 2821 can be used as an L2TP server (LNS or LAC).
It supports 900 IDBs, which means that you can provide access to around 900 remote-users. Also, it supports a maximum of 880 L2TP sessions/tunnels.
You can find detailed information on the following link:

  • Can no longer connect to network server after upgrading dsl modem

    While I was working on a file that resides on a network server, the router was powered down so on reboot it would communicate with a dsl modem . After the router was power up I could not reconnect to the server.
    I have internet access
    The mini can see the server in the finder and the server sees the mini
    This is not a wireing issue.
    When I try to connect I get this message:
    "The file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP Protocol. You cannot connect"
    The server is an old mac running os 9.1. I've read that 9.1 is not compatible with 10.4.8. But it worked just fine this morning.
    There are other macs (cubes) running 9.2 I can connect to them.
    I've tried restarting and logging on as a differernt user. no change

    Thanks for your help
    I made no changes to the mini or the server.
    The router was shut down then on restart the new (replaced modem) was configured by using another mac on the network (not the file server)
    Once the router and modem were online again, other macs running 9.2 were accessing the file server as usual. The mini was not.
    I had been working on a file that resides on the server. I was not warned that the router was going to be shut down. When I saved the file I got the beach ball then error message.
    It'll be next week before I'm in the office agin. I'll report back then. Thanks

  • Cisco 2821 Router as a NTP Server

    We are using a 2821 Router as our boundary router.  It has installed into it a 9 port HWIC for layer 2 switching as well as allowing the router to communicate on the Network Management VLAN.  All of the devices on the Network Management VLAN are segregated from the managed traffic, which unfortunately also doesn't allow them external NTP services.  Can the router be programmed as a NTP server so that all of the network appliances can utilize it for NTP from either it's NM Vlan IP address or from a loopback address?  Thanks in advance for the help.

    What are the commands needed in the router for it to provide time to other appliances?
    If your router has successfully synchronized with an authoritative NTP server?  NOT A THING.
    In my network, only the site's distribution switch is allowed to go out and get NTP.  All other access switch goes to the distribution switch by using the command "ntp server ".  You can have multiple NTP server IP address and if you prefer to have a "favorite" you can append your command with the "prefer" option:  ntp server prefer.
    If you have clients then point their NTP to your router.  For troubleshooting, I prefer the command "sh ntp associate".  If your NTP server IP address starts with a "*" this is good and means that your NTP is synchronized.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • 1 server, 2 networks how to route traffic to both

    Hi i have NW65SP7
    what i'm trying to do is
    1. to have users come in thru the data network (192.168.0.0) and the traffic
    go back out thru the default gateway (192.168.0.1) and
    2. i want LDAP traffic to go in thru the other network (10.1.0.0) and
    backout thru the same networks gateway (10.1.0.1).
    1. works fine and all seems to go up and down the right network, however 2.
    comes down 10.1.0.0 and backout thru the default gateway on 192.168.0.1. I
    don't\can't have this as the firewall rejects the packet as the source and
    destination networks are different ie. the fw sees the packet come in thru
    10.1.0.0 but when the server sends it back out thru 192.168.0.0 the firewall
    rightly drops it
    How do i get 2. to work as i want, can this even be done on NW.
    What i've done so far is
    a. enabled Static Routing
    b. created a default route (192.168.0.1) with a metric of 2
    c. created a network route for 10.1.0.0 (10.1.0.1) with a metric of 1

    > Any static routes?
    No the netware server is not the router
    The server has 1 interface but two vlans trunked to the one interface, each
    vlan has a separate IP. I can ping each IP on each of the trunked vlans
    fine. I'm using Broadcom Q57 NICS and the QASP\BASP advanced driver to
    support the trunked vlans. Don't let that confuse the issue though..it's
    basically the same as having two nic interfaces connected to two seperate
    networks in this case lets say 192.168.0.10 and 10.0.0.10
    Just so we're on the same page, we have a very large routed network with
    over 250 subnetworks with 4 10G interconnected core routers each with a 10G
    distribution routers, buildings\user\server networks hang of the
    distribution routers . Client machines are distributed accross the network
    and are not on the same vlan\subnet as the servers.
    A server on 192.168.0.0 will have a default gateway of 192.168.0.1 and
    servers on 10.0.0.0 will have a default gateway of 10.0.0.1 there are no
    clients machines on these subnets....btw we don't really have a 192.168.0.0
    network..i'm just using this as an example.
    The NW server has 1 static route configured as the default gateway on
    192.168.0.1...and i've been trying to work out how to configure another
    static route to make sure that all incoming and outgoing traffic for
    10.0.0.0 stays on 10.0.0.0 or whatever else i need to do to get it working

    Clients are fine, lets say that they are on 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.255.0 and
    they have default gateways on their subnets the go thru x.x.x.1 (eg.a
    192.168.1.0 machine will have a default gateway of 192.168.1.1 and a
    192.168.2.0 machine will have a default gateway of 192.168.2.1 etc)

    See above re. the network...the firewall\s are blades within the core

    Does that make any more sense???

  • WAAS network module and 2821 router?

    What WAE network modules will work in a 2821 router? This 2821 has a dual-T1 Multipoint connection back to our data center and I know that the users will benefit greatly from WAAS, but I'd rather not have to upgrade the router to a 3800 just to install a WAE module

    NME-WAE-502 will give you full functionality with the enterprise licence. This is the NME that is the most widely used for WAAS.
    NME-WAE-302 is available, but only supports the transport license which give you TCP optimizations only (no application AO support).
    NME-WAE-522 is only supported in the 3800 series routers.
    Hope that helps,

  • OS X Server / VPN /The L2TP-VPN server did not respond...HELP!

    I am very new to OS X Server and my goal is to setup DNS & VPN!  I would like to have this setup to be able to connect into my apple computer from work or friends house.  I am using an Apple Airport Extreme router and im also using the latest version OS X Mountain Lion with OS X Server installed.  I have started an account with dyndns website for user host name (using a [email protected] address). I assume this would be used as an alternate way of being able to connect without starting a personal website.  I also signed up for another site (no-ip) and I now have a different IP address (not sure if that was necessary). I then followed instructions on youtube (instructional videos by todd for OS X Server Mountain Lion) which seemed to be very easy to understand. But after setting up my VPN on the client side (network setting in system preferences), i tried to connect VPN (L2TP) and i receive this error message "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator.". When I open Consol in the utilities folder, I am seeing part of the following message below;
    racoon[117]: IKE Packet: transmit success. (Phase1 Retransmit).
    racoon[117]: IKE Packet: receive failed. (malformed or unexpected cookie).
    pppd[490]: IPSec connection failed
    Does anyone know what's happening or what I need to do to fix this?  Or can someone tell me the basic requirements to setting things up correctly?

    Im using Comcast for my ISP and from the wall I have a Motorola Surfboard 6120 cable modem (not sure how to access my setting on the modem). So basically I have my 6120 cable modem connected to the Apple AirportExtreme router and is then wirelessly connected to my macbook pro.  im providing screen shots of my apple router settings, OS X Server settings and firewall (which is turned off) settings.  Any suggestion on how i should set things up or if you can tell me step by step would be greatly appreciated.

  • VPN Problems - The L2TP-VPN server did not respond

    Okay, so I read quite a few threads about this and can't really figure it out. Would be great if I can get some handholding.
    I'm a complete newbie, trying to set up Server for home use. The VPN service seems to be running fine, but I just can't connect from the clients, it just keeps saying "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond". Here is a glimpse at my settings:
    - I have opened up all the relevant ports for UDP (500,1701,4500) and TCP (1723). But this is only required for the Server, right?
    - I don't have a domain name yet so just using my external IP. This is what I put in under VPN Host name in the Server and Client settings.
    - I login with username and password credentials for one of my network users as created in the Server. Format is [email protected] and the password is the same as the login password.
    ** I seem to get a 'authentication failed' error if I just use my local IP address... Not sure whats happening their, but before that I need to be able to connect to Server with the external IP!
    Am I missing something? Why won't my client connect and that too when I'm at home?

    To run a public VPN server behind an NAT gateway, you need to do the following:
    1. Give the gateway either a static external address or a dynamic DNS name. The latter must be a DNS record on a public DNS registrar, not on the server itself. Also in the latter case, you must run a background process to keep the DNS record up to date when your IP address changes.
    2. Give the VPN server a static address on the local network, and a hostname that is not in the top-level domain "local" (which is reserved for Bonjour.)
    3. Forward external UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 (for L2TP) and TCP port 1723 (for PPTP) to the corresponding ports on the VPN server.
    If your router is an Apple device, select the Network tab in AirPort Utility and click Network Options. In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
    Allow incoming IPSec authentication
    if it's not already checked, and save the change.
    With a third-party router, there may be a similar setting.
    4. Configure any firewall in use to pass this traffic.
    5. Each client must have an address on a netblock that doesn't overlap the one assigned by the VPN endpoint. For example, if the endpoint assigns addresses in the 10.0.0.0/24 range, and the client has an address on a local network in the 10.0.1.0/24 range, that's OK, but if the local network is 10.0.1.0/16, there will be a conflict. To lessen the chance of such conflicts, it's best to assign addresses in a random sub-block of 10.0.0.0./0 with a 24-bit netmask.
    6. "Back to My Mac" on the server is incompatible with the VPN service.
    If the server is directly connected to the Internet, see this blog post.

  • How to configure Time Capsule etc as a local network server with remote access server and for backups

    I'm trying to set up new 3TB Time Capsule as a wireless network server (with remote access) and for backups for use in a small office (of two Macs). We have a late 2011 Intel MBP and a brand new MBA both running 10.8.3. We have two external 1TB hard drives that until now have been attached the MBP for storage and backing up that computer, which up until now was the only machine in use. The MBA is for a new employee and we need to share and work on the same files, both here in the office and ideally remotely too via Back to my Mac. The MBP needs constant access. The MBA only occasional. The TC has 7.6.3 firmware and we've set it up using AirPort Utility 6.2. It is currently attached to the MBP via ethernet and it has internet access via a Sagemcom router attached to TC's WAN port.
    We've managed to set up a wireless network and both have wireless internet access through the TC
    But there are so many issues I don't know where to begin - so I'll start with a description of what we're trying to achieve:
    I planned to use the TC as the main server drive and place all the key folders and files there so that both of us can access them wirelessly and remotely. The MBP would back up to the TC and to one or two of the external hard drives - one being attached to the Mac via USB and the other being attached to the TC's USB port. We would back up the important data on the TC using SuperDuper and copy it to both external USB drives.
    So , first of all, is that a sensible configuration? Should the 'server' be the one of the external hard drives attached to the TC USB port, backed up regularly to the TC using SuperDuper?

    But when you say 'So using USB drive does make sense if you want to use it as a file store', do you mean a USB drive plugged into the TC? I hope that I can attach an external drive to the TC so we can all access and read/write the content wirelessly via the TC network or remotely.
    Yes, USB.. as it prevents the sparsebundle mixing with data files. I guess it does depend on how much data you are talking about.. you can use the TC internal disk if you are careful and setup the sparsebundle with fixed sizes once you create them..
    And to be clear, I wasn't planning on backing up remotely via BTMM - only to access the shared folders on the TC data drive or USB external drive attached to it. I'm assuming that's ok?
    Yes, that is fine. Sorry I got the impression you were going to do backup over internet.
    What is the alternative? Having a Mac Mini that's always on? Do I need OS X Server etc.?
    A mini would be great.. you don't need server edition.. but I would see how the TC goes.. since you have it and it is much lower power consumption device. It is just that its design is not really for file storage.
    One big problem I have is to do with the sharing permissions. For everything on the TC or attached external drive attached to it, it says I have only custom access and every time I try to change permissions it says I don't have the permission to do that. And if I try to change the owner it says my user name is not valid.
    How is the security setup on the TC?
    The security is a bit tricky.. I must admit since I run windows computer in the network, that I simply turn on the guest account to read and write access. For a business setup that might not be adequate  but it allows me full access to all the files.
    If you setup the TC with user accounts then you are in trouble. That makes it very difficult to access, especially if one person already has the file open you may find a second user cannot login. I am not sure as I have avoided the security. IMHO it is meaningless.. since anyone with physical access to the TC can press the reset for one second and has full access.. and can add or change passwords.

  • I have 2 lan connections, 1 connect to local network server and other to internet, how do i configure firefox to open website on my local network connection and internet also

    I found the solution, myself, you need to go to network settings and then select manual proxy setting and provide the ip address of the internet server . that's all
    "it is not OS setting up problem, around DNS and routing Problems." as stated by you,
    anyway thanks.

  • Server 2003 routing and remote access not passing VPN traffic

    I've inherited a network that has two IP scopes that are routed through a Windows 2003 server with Routing and Remote Access.  I can ping both sides (we'll call them HQ and Plant) internally.  My firewall has an IP from the HQ IP scope and when
    I connect via VPN, I can see all the devices on the HQ network including the network card that is in the routing server for that "side".  However, if I'm connected via VPN, I cannot get to any of the IPs on the Plant side, not even the card
    in the routing server.  The buck stops on the server.
    I should mention, that the firewall assigns IP addresses that are on the HQ scope, so all VPN connections will have an address from that side.
    I'm lost on how to get this set up so my VPN traffic coming in from the HQ side can be routed to the Plant devices. 

    Hi,
    To be honest, your statement confused me a bit.
    VPN is used for external client get access to internal resource. When we setup VPN server, we usually have two NICs. We need choose a NIC that will be used when client initiate
    a connection request. I prefer to call it external NIC card. The internal one will work as DHCP relay agent. So this is a single way connection. You cannot dial from internal to external.
    If I misunderstood you, please elaborate what you are trying to do.
    Hope this helps.

  • Domain Network Server

    OK I am EXTREMELY p'd off but I will try to stay calm while typing this. SEVERAL TIMES EVERYDAY FOR WEEKS my internet has been constantly cutting off randomly, sometimes for as long as 2 hours at a time. When I run a diagnosis, it says something along
    the lines of 'Domain Network Server is not responding' or 'Unable to connect to DNS' and other variations. I have used Google for possible solutions, such as entering a 10 digit address in the IPV4 or whatever, and that has not worked. I have no idea what
    the f'k a DNS is, never mind know how to fix it. I am extremely angry because of the amount of times it happens every f'g day and at really important times, today I have lost many hours, even days, of hard work because it cuts off at the wrong f'g time.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to fix it?

    Hi,
    This issue could be also caused by your router, try to reset or update the firmware of your router.

  • How to view Log on the cisco 2821 Router

    Hi,
    can any one help me  to view the Log on the Cisco 2821 router for any  issue occur.
    Thanks,
    Saroj

    Cisco devices use the syslog to manage system logs and alerts. But in Cisco devices there is lack of large internal storage space for storing these kinds of logs.So to overcome Cisco devices has the following two options:
    1) internanal buffer — That is a small part of memory buffers to collect log the most recent messages. The buffer size is limited and , when the device reboots, these syslog messages are lost.by default it is on
    (If not follow this steps
    conf t
    logging on
    logging console.....console logs
    logging buffer  size ......set the size of buffer
    terminal monitor.......to gets logs on the remote terminal like telnet,ssh etc.
    sh logging.........to see buffer logs.)
    2) Syslog server—  By using this we can send messages to an external device for storing this logs and the storage size does depend on the available disk space of the external syslog server. This option is not enabled by default.
    If you have any syslog server please find the below simple config .
    conf t
    logging host x.x.x.x
    logging traps (i.e 0 1 2 3 4 5 .. according to your requirement)
    before enabling logging be sure that your router is properly configure to collect proper time from any NTP server or manually configure to get time
    command to set time manually on router is (set clock ) or to use ntp server use ntp server x.x.x.x to sync clock to router router.
    Hop thant is informative ,

  • Network Server slows computer

    I'm working on a network (server) at my job and having serious issues... I can work on any of 17 volumes with no trouble but one volume has been giving me headaches for the last two weeks. When working from the volume, file processing has gotten EXTREMELY slow (specifically opening & saving), so I moved files to my desktop and the same problem continues. If I close the server and work on the exact same files from my desktop, the computer acts normally (files open and save quickly), but when I open the server again, my computer runs slowly again, even if I am not working on the server. -No one else in the company is having the same problem with the server. I have reset my PRAM, repaired permissions and verified the disk (no problems existed).
    It almost feels like this server is zapping my virtual memory (not to mention giving me mental problems!)... I am out of ideas for fixes... Any ideas out there? Thanks!

    Is the server to the router network link wired or wireless?
    and same question: between the router to the client computers?
