[v.4 MultiSite] Where to add peers?

(1/4) > >>

q8reflex:
Went through all the documenation like twice at least, can't seem to find the correct way to link two wanos's in bridge mode, one barebone hardware at home and the other one in KVM instance at a data center.

Any idea?

Edit: Add v.4 to subject

q8reflex:
Ok, any idea why Multisite wont show in Configure menu? that's at the KVM instance at the data center side. We did launch the instance according to minimum hardware requiements, is there any setting in shell we can alter to get the Multisite option in menu? If Multisite is not an option, how do we setup point-to-point?

ahenning:
Multisite is not an option in v.4, it is always on by default and auto detected and auto configured.

If both sides are in bridge mode, with default settings, lan0 and wan0 are mapped correctly so that the wan0 points to each other then once TCP traffic starts to flow in both ways the peers will detect each other automatically.

The minimum requirement for bridge mode peering:
Default settings (e.g. Bridge mode both sides)
lan0 and wan0 cabled correctly in-path
1x TCP session (not bypassed e.g. HTTPS)
Firewall should not strip TCP Option 76

Optional, but most highly recommended:
IP Address

q8reflex:
Thanks Antonie,

I'm confused now, where in control panel do you link the two? what about security in this case, do we have some sort of authentication method or encryption to prevent man-in-the-middle risk?

ahenning:
The way to link via bridge mode:
1) Deploy appliance with default settings, set IP address
2) Connect Wanos-A wan0 to Wanos-B wan0
3) Send TCP traffic from LAN A to LAN B
4) Check peer status.

To force peers, configure tunnel mode.

Wanos should be compatible with your current man-in-the-middle defense. Normally IPSec on the router or firewall as long as wan0 connects to this device and not lan0 (bridge mode).
