Dial-up branch office network

The Corporate Network scenario depicted a network that included branch offices. This scenario describes the configuration of a network for a branch office that is connected through a dial-up link.

A typical branch office network has the following characteristics:

• One LAN segment.

• Demand-dial connections to the corporate office.

The following illustration shows an example of a dial-up branch office network.

In this scenario, the server running Routing and Remote Access must be configured with a network adapter for the media that is used in the branch office (for example, Ethernet) and an ISDN device or analog modem for connection to the corporate office.
