Re: [Astlinux-users] Additional External Interface

[Kevin K. <Ast...@gt...>]

I would like to provide a demo for a prospective client, using a couple of
phones behind an existing fire walled customer network that I will not have
local access or the availability open up for access back to my server for
admin and network connectivity.  Also with the assumption that they will not
block the outbound openvpn connection.

My idea was to have the astlinux box pull an address via dhcp on their local
lan and create a tunnel back to my server that I could use to access the
local astlinux box and provide a VoIP connection to my server.  This would
be on eth0.

I envisioned either creating a static sub interface with a non conflicting
address range on eth0 that asterisk would listen on and statically configure
the IP phones to use this interface for configs and registration  with  a
route back to my server running openvpn and asterisk services. 

As an alternate, define that sub interface to route to my server tunnel and
pull its configs and communicate directly with the offsite server via the
vpn tunnel.

I thought if this could be accomplished in the rc.conf file it would be a
little easier across upgrades.

I hope this explains it, any suggestions?

Kevin

Kevin,

You may not need to.

Could you specify your network configuration a little more, what is  
your router, etc.

Your comments seem to suggest AstLinux is going to be an OpenVPN  
server?  Will it also be running asterisk?

Usually adding a static route to your AstLinux/OpenVPN box as the  
gateway for 10.8.0.0/24 will do the trick with only one eth0 interface.
