Hi All,
I have been thinking about this since morning but have not been able
to get a clear answer for myself. I am wondering how IPSec packets
look and how they get routed.
When we connect a VPN client to a VPN host, the host provides the
client with an IP address. The client ofcourse had an IP address from
before also. Now when it starts communicating, I believe the new IP
address is used in the IP header.
So to make things clear, I have a DSL connection at home and my IP
address is 160.10.10.2. I connect to a remote campus using VPN and get
an IP address 155.25.3.28. The remote network has a class B pool of
155.25.X.X. Now when I communicate with the remote host, I will be
communicating with a source address of 155.25.3.8. My question is how
does the routing take place. The intermediate routers will never
forward packets to the client since a packet destined for 155.25.3.28
will be forwarded to the campus while actually it is in my house.
Hmmm, guess I am not thinking correctly so please clear this concept
for me. I am fairly new with VPNs...
Do I have to put some static at the edge router in the campus?
Thanks.
Paul
