NAT

[wilson2468]

I have a router at a remote site with 5 ethernet ports.

There is a company that is a partner with our company that wants to put their router in the bulding to access our servers.

They are going to NAT 6 of our addresses onto their network.

They asked how we want tehm to connect their router to our network.

What is the best way to go as far as them connecting to us?

Would it be better to create a VLAN on the router?

But I am not sure what good it would do if they are going to be connected to the router, maybe an access list to limit what they can get to?

I am having trouble visualizing how this is going to work

What make and model router do you have? I would consider a VPN over internet connection instead of them have their own router in you business.

maybe an access list"-- exactly!

Ideally, a separate VLAN or physical interface for their router. Configuring it would be essentially the same as a point-point link to them, except that their router is physically on your premises.
