private intranet or the Internet. Both routers can communicate with each other through the IP
network.
Example
Our goal is to create a secure channel between the routers and bridge both networks through it. The
network setup diagram is as follows:
To make a secure Ethernet bridge between two routers you should:
1. Create a PPTP tunnel between them. Our_GW will be the pptp server:
[admin@Our_GW] interface pptp-server> /ppp secret add name=joe service=pptp \
\... password=top_s3 local-address=10.0.0.1 remote-address=10.0.0.2
[admin@Our_GW] interface pptp-server> add name=from_remote user=joe
[admin@Our_GW] interface pptp-server> server set enable=yes
[admin@Our_GW] interface pptp-server> print
Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, R - running
# NAME USER MTU CLIENT-ADDRESS UPTIME ENC...
0 from_remote joe
[admin@Our_GW] interface pptp-server>
The Remote router will be the pptp client:
[admin@Remote] interface pptp-client> add name=pptp user=joe \
\... connect-to=192.168.1.1 password=top_s3 mtu=1500 mru=1500
[admin@Remote] interface pptp-client> enable pptp
[admin@Remote] interface pptp-client> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name="pptp" mtu=1500 mru=1500 connect-to=192.168.1.1 user="joe"
password="top_s2" profile=default add-default-route=no
[admin@Remote] interface pptp-client> monitor pptp
status: "connected"
uptime: 39m46s
encoding: "none"
[admin@Remote] interface pptp-client>
See the PPTP Interface Manual for more details on setting up encrypted channels.
2. Configure the EoIP tunnel by adding the eoip tunnel interfaces at both routers. Use the ip
addresses of the pptp tunnel interfaces when specifying the argument values for the EoIP
tunnel:
[admin@Our_GW] interface eoip> add name="eoip-remote" tunnel-id=0 \
\... remote-address=10.0.0.2
[admin@Our_GW] interface eoip> enable eoip-remote
[admin@Our_GW] interface eoip> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 name=eoip-remote mtu=1500 arp=enabled remote-address=10.0.0.2 tunnel-id=0
[admin@Our_GW] interface eoip>
[admin@Remote] interface eoip> add name="eoip" tunnel-id=0 \
\... remote-address=10.0.0.1
[admin@Remote] interface eoip> enable eoip-main
[admin@Remote] interface eoip> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 name=eoip mtu=1500 arp=enabled remote-address=10.0.0.1 tunnel-id=0
[Remote] interface eoip>
3. Enable bridging between the EoIP and Ethernet interfaces on both routers.
On the Our_GW:
[admin@Our_GW] interface bridge> add forward-protocols=ip,arp,other \
\... disabled=no
[admin@Our_GW] interface bridge> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name="bridge1" mtu=1500 arp=enabled mac-address=00:00:00:00:00:00
forward-protocols=ip,arp,other priority=1
[admin@Our_GW] interface bridge> port print
Flags: X - disabled
