PPTP & Vlan

Hi Guys,

I’ve looked over the forums and found alot of older posts saying that i need to enable arp-proxy in order for PP2P to work with vlans. Is this still the case? And if it is, exactly on which interface do i need to enable it? Do i need to enable it on every interface the Vlan touches over our whole network? What are the side effects?

Better yet, does anyone know of another way to link a remote site (via internet) back to my MT router, and still route traffic over (it)?

Cheers!

create tunnel and route traffic through using routing protocols or create static routes

you mean EOIP tunnel?

Dont really want to create static routes. There will be 38 routers connecting back to this one, all with different ranges. that could get messy fast

PPTP would be sufficient for your needs.

EoIP tunnel would be complete ethernet interface replica :slight_smile: and OSPF, for example, cannot see a difference between EoIP tunnel and real ethernet interface.

create and see if this is what you wanted.

The problem is this:

Router 1 connects to Router 2 via PPTP

Router 1 has 10.1.1.0/24 range on a bridge, with a VLAn & Eth as ports
Router 2 has 192.168.1.0/24 range on eth interface

I set up routes, so either router can see each other and ping each other, and anything directly connected to the router, but when router 2 tries to ping anything on the vlan, it wont respond. But a router on the vlan (10.1.1.0/24 range) can ping the 192.168.1.0/24 range perfectly.

I searched the forums and found that there is a problem with PPTP & Vlans / Bridges and that i may or may not need to enable Arp-proxy.

Have you done what i am trying to do now?

No one else knows ? Normis?
