Model: OC200  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi everyone,

 

I have two sites and each has their own OC200 controller. I am not happy, that in the global view, each controller has their own view, including sites. I was expecting that I can see both in controllers in the site menu. But this is a nice to have and I can live with it. My problem is a different one: I want to create a site-to-site VPN between my two sites/controllers. In the VPN menu, the site list is empty, so I guess, a controller only shows you the sites it is managing. How can I create a site-to-site VPN without going through a manual setup?

 

Thanks, Rainer

Of course you have to go through a manual setup. You have to do that even if it's on the same controller. But it's pretty easy, you set up Ipsec Site to Site in a few minutes. It's the same procedure whether you have two controllers or two sites on one controller. If you have both sites on the same controller you can use SD-WAN, it's a little easier and less configuration.

Thanks for the quick reply! I would have expected a smother setup, but of course the manual setup is doable as well. Cheers, Rainer
