We have a network of video codecs on our WAN, which are on their own port based vlan. The codecs are all on the same public IP subnet. Our setup works perfectly, except for a single codec that is located on a LAN of one of our member schools. All codecs except for this one have a direct run to the our WAN vlan (vlan 107). This particular codec is in a satellite building, which is connected to their school via fiber.
The setup:
Codec in remote building > 2 switches>cisco 3600 router>fiber>cisco 2600 router in main school>2 switches> Wan switch>fiber>WAN switch at main office
Vlan 107 exist on both WAN switches, and the video codecs can communicate with each other as long as they are plugged into port 9 or 10 on the Procurve 3500yl switch.
My goal is to connect the remote codec to the vlan, and either assign the same public subnet to it that the other , or use NAT to forward all ports the codec needs to communicate with the gatekeeper, and other codecs.
It seems this should be possible by installing a routerboard 450g on both ends of the connection, and setting up a vpn using openvpn. I need confirmation this can be done, and some good (simple) docs on how to accomplish it. I can live with just getting the connection to the first WAN switch, rather than the second WAN switch.
