Introduction

In this example, we shall describe how the Drop-in group functionality can be used to connect a branch office to the head office by a VPN tunnel.

Using a Drop-in group is an option if the current Internet access at the branch does not allow a VPN tunnel to be set up and it cannot be replaced. The advantage of the Drop-in group is that there is no need to change the network structure and the configuration of the individual routers in the branch.

A bintec™ router is put between the provider gateway and the current network in the branch. This establishes the tunnel to the head office and routes all the packets for the head office through it, while all the rest are routed as normal to the provider gateway.

The GUI™ (Graphical User Interface) is used for configuring.
