Tiivistelmä
The goal of this project was to create a proof of concept of a working, secure and agile mobile office solution by using SRX 320 with LTE mini-PIM and L3 VPN over LTE. In addition, another goal was to improve the author’s knowledge of MPLS and VPN technology.
A configuration for the solution was built from the start because no previous versions existed. A test environment was created to mimic possible usage of the concept. The test environment consisted of a laptop behind SRX 320 with LTE mini-PIM as mobile office and SRX 1500 was deployed at the lab with a Linux server behind to act as a corporate server.
The initial bandwidth of LTE was first measured by using speedtest.net to get estimate how fast the connection was. Then the measurements of L3 VPN between sites were made by using iPerf3 bandwidth program. The first measurements gave bad results but after optimizing packet sizes the desired results were got, they were almost good as the initial measurements.
It can be safely stated that all the goals were met and the testing results show great promise for the solution to be implemented in the future.
