VPN route


Hi all,
I am using VPN connection to get into another LAN which is 12000 miles away. Quite obvious.

Now, that far LAN uses its IP address schemes like 192.168.54.xx, 192.168.55.xx, 192.168.56.xx, 192.168.57.xx, 192.168.58.xx, 192.168.59.xx .
When I start my Cisco VPN client. I am able to ping 192.168.54.xx, 192.168.55.xx, 192.168.56.xx BUT I am not able to ping 192.168.57.xx, 192.168.58.xx, 192.168.59.xx.

So, what I am doing is first of all I log into some machine sa 192.168.54.3 and then from there 192.168.58.1. And I can do it quite successfully.
Now, logically I should be able to do it DIRECTLY as well. Since sometimes if 192.168.54.3 goes down, I am like screwed up.

But, I am not sure how to do this. What I tried is like adding route manually to Routing Table. But It dint help.

Few commands output... It may help understanding prob better.

As you can see the vpn concentrator is not pushing routes for 192.168.57.xx, 192.168.58.xx, 192.168.59.xx. The best fix would be to get the concentrator to do that.

Can you not aggregate your 10 routes into 5 ? I see you using .50 to .59

$ cidr 192.168.50.0 192.168.59.0
192.168.50.0/23
192.168.52.0/22
192.168.56.0/23
192.168.58.0/24
192.168.59.0/32

Perhaps this will avoid some internal limit.

I do not have access to VPN concentrator. Only I can do is some changes on my VPN client machine.

Not aware of "cidr" command. Tried to see help on my machine but there is not cidr command at all...

Its a perl script I've been using for a while, called cidr_range. Get it here:

http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix...dr_range.pl.gz

You give a range of IPs

cidr_range 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.50

and it returns the shortest group of aggregates.
