Network Person -

[BillT]

Hi All -

Our firm is looking for a VPN network person that knows their ‘stuff’ - and would like to make some good ‘pin-money’ on the side on a one-time project - all legal of course.

We run a service that currently relies on a third party VPN supplier - we currently look after the ingress and egress sides to the VPN.

We are looking to migrate to our own VPN over a public network.

The rough topology of what we are looking for is as follows - below is one VPN node - there are approx. 20 such nodes:

Private IP Range <-> Cisco Router <-> Neobroadband Fiber (Public IP) <-> “New VPN”
HSRP Failover
Private IP Range <-> Cisco Router <-> ADSL DHCP (Public IP/Telkom/IS/?) <-> “New VPN”

The mesh needs to be spoke to spoke and IPSEC (but HUB traffic traversal is OK provided we have a online failover HUB) - we would prefer an ‘all-router’ solution approach (Flex VPN?) - but are open to alternatives. Speed is not the deciding criteria - but failover within the VPN is a must. We will provide all the Kit. The VPN ‘servers’ (primary/secondary) to be at different locations.

Your job will be to be put together the configs and convince us that we will have at least 3 nines uptime spoke to spoke.
The ideal person would be someone who has been there, done that and got he T-Shirt

Any takers - ???

Eish...this threat title and it's content reeks of a non-IT company that doesn't know what the hell they are talking about.

Based on that alone I wouldn't even think about taking the job.

You might want to talk budget here.

But as the previous poster said - sounds very much like the OP doesn't know IT all that well and has been given all the required buzzwords to use in his post.

I'll do it.

For 20k per node

This is quite simple to do with IPSEC and BGP but i don't know how you expect 99.9% uptime on broadband, you would be better off implementing a MPLS solution.
