Looking up about ZeroTier, but confused how you would implement it in a 600+ Device / 30+ server over 60 location environment. Would you need to install the client on ALL the servers and devices?
-
@hobbit666 You could do that, or it can also be setup as a network bridge. Unsure of site to site, but I did a quick PoC with a Linux VM at HO that was allowing a remote laptop to connect in as if it was onsite. The remote machine was even pulling a dhcp address from the HO dhcp server since the bridging was all at L2. You could probably do a VM at each site more or less as a "VPN endpoint" and the IP ranges properly configured and routed.

@dbeato my Co worker now thinks I'm a magician, because I got it fixed before I had to go on site.. lol
LOL - what did he really expect you to fix on site you couldn't remotely?
remote into the controller - fix away, remote into a machine on network, push commands to AP to flash/update/// whatever...
Yeah, I have no idea. he thinks every call could be or should be an on site visit to assist.

It sounds like he enjoys burning the clock.

Paul and I are going down because you have to be in country, in person, to form a new company. We are going down to deal with the lawyers.

It might be easier to set it up as a site-to-site VPN. The ethernet bridging can work, but hat can also make for some interesting issues.
The way ZT is designed, yes, you'd install the client on all the things. If you manage the network soup to nuts, then setting it up as a site to site VPN isn't terribly difficult at small scale.

This is what i'm thinking.
Guess if it was just one/two servers plus handful of users ZeroTeir would be OK to use. -

Not really but I wouldn't want to install/update/maintain 600+ user devices.

It's just a matter of a script or state file that defines it and 600 is as easy as 1. But then you get a lot of robust options like device mobility.

State management does completely change what you are able to manage. 600, 6,000 makes very little difference, still a single config to update.

yeah you could - but damn.. that's a lot more complicated than just setting up P2P VPN between firewalls.

But dealing with internal DNS, etc.. so much hassle. -

Sure, but it's not just that easy necessarily. Site to Site is each site to each site and any mobile users become another site. So it's a lot of points, potentially.
