i have setup 2 small offices with scn and can call between them fine i want to add a third site and i'm confused.
site a: main site with vm pro
site b: remote site 1
site c: remote site 2

site a has a vpn to site b and c
site b has a vpn to site a only
site c will have a vpn to a only

i want to be able to call site c from site b and vice versa
do i have to use a different ip line to each site?
do i need routes in site c to say that site b is at site a and let the ipo on site a deal with routing it onwards.

or do i just setup the links from each remote site to the main site and the systems sort out getting the calls to the correct dectination.

any help on this would be great

thanks in advance

You would use a star configuration so set up your IP lines to link back to a. So site b and c will have one line each going back to a.
Site A will have 2 lines one to B and One to C. All traffic between B and C will go via A.

You dont need a route between C and B however if you do want on you can however turn off the SCN on the link

I have a similiar question, and don't mean to thread jack here, but its relevant. I have an existing SCN, and its a hub and spoke set up. I have been fighting the battle on some quality issues, and was wondering if I could add an IP line that goes directly from a spoke to another spoke(basically bypassing the handoff of the hub) and still have all my functionality? Let the routers route the traffic w/out stopping at the IPO hub.

Figure it out damn-it!
