Securing an MPLS network

Fri Sep 18, 2009 10:44 pm

Hi Guys

So i've got my wireless MPLS network working and would like to secure it for a corporate customer that needs voice/data

I do not use wireless encryption on the highsites so I am looking at alternative methods. Which option is the best?

Option1)
A) create a VRF from the customer's CPE (part of the MPLS cloud) to a core router in our NOC
B)run an IPSEC or PPTP tunnel across the VRF
C) route the voice traffic over the tunnel

Option2)
Same as 1 but no VRF

Option3)
Same as 1 but no tunnel

Option4)
Any other ideas?

thanks

of course, use encrypted tunnel. over VRF or not - it depends on a hop count, I think. is there a sense to enter MPLS cloud and then exit?

thanks, but why would the hop count be relevant?

Yes the data would need to enter and exit the mpls cloud....the MPLS would be the wireless network
