I currently have a client who is removing his old CSU/DSU and wants to put up a Cisco 1721 with WIC's on each end. The link is a T1 through Verizon and I currently have them bridged. The base location currently resides the DHCP, Internet, and other network resources. The Remote Location resides a Building Server.

The problem is the bridge and I do not like it. It has become a pain in the ass and is not reliable at all. Both Remote and Base locations are on a 206.x.x.x IP and 255.255.255.0 Subnet. My configs are at the bottom for better explanation.

Router A/Base:
Current configuration : 872 bytes
