I am new to Cisco products but bought a Cisco 1841 to give it a try. My goal is to simplify the setup on LAN PC's (one LAN schema for all office PC's) but provide access to 3 different firewalls from each PC. Currently this is being done with each PC having an IP on the trusted schema of each firewall. All IP's listed here are only hypthetical. Suppose the 3 firewalls I have are LAN schemas 172.16.0.0 /24, 172.16.1.0/24, and 172.16.2.0/24. Each firewall has it's own external data network. Both the 1.0 and 2.0 firewalls have site to site VPN tunnels with access policies from their respective LAN schemas to access the remote sites. The 0.0 firewall will only host PPTP VPN connections but will also serve as the gateway for all non-branch office (site to site) traffic (Internet and what not).
My goal was to put the 1841 in front of my LAN PC's as a gateway, and house all of the neccesary routing policies on the 1841, directing traffic a neccessary. Is this possible? I may still have to put an IP address for each schema with branch office tunnels above on each PC to pass security on the IP policies, but it's the individual routing statements I want to consolidate.
As I said, I am new to Cisco products, and the programming interfaces are a little less intuitive than I am used to. I am using the SDM for programming the unit.
Any help or examples is appreciated.
