PPTP between two routers

RouterOS General
1

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the great forum. Can you give some advice for my situation.

RB750 /for short R1/ is connected to ISP on eth1. The other interfaces are in bridge with DHCP server enable on it with range 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.100/24. PPTP server is enabled on the R1.

The goal is to connect RB450G /for short R2/ to R1 via PPTP so users in both locations to be in the same subnet /192.168.2.xxx/24/ and share resources. R2 is connected to ISP via ADSL router on eht1 set as DHCP client. No users are connected now on R2 /on the picture is how I want it to be/

And here are some following questions:

  1. Should I set another DHCP server on R2 for users with range for example 192.168.2.130 - 192.168.2.180/24, or I can use DHCP Relay option and R1`s DHCP?
  2. Do I need to add some other route in the R2 routing table or 0.0.0.0/0 via pptp-out will be enough?
  3. Am I missing something else?

Thanks

I would create a dedicated DHCP server on both locations and configure in such a way that no conflicts can occur.
Then, if a layer2 connection is desired, and I assume since you are using the same IP’s, I suggest to create an EoIP tunnel inside the PPtP and bridge the EoIP interfaces into the local bridge on both sides.
Then you are able to see all devices on the other end without routing.
Create an EoIP tunnel between the two endpoint IP’s of the PPtP tunnel.

Hi,
Use EoIP tunnel & add EoIP interface as bridge port on both router.

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. Im going to read a little bit more now about EoIP and then Ill continue with testing.
