Br500 VPN appliance as secondary router
I'm looking for setup advice for 2 Br500 routers to establish site to site VPN. Both sites already have a router in place for their broadband.
Br500 documentation says it can be setup as a secondary router cnnected to an existing lan.
Site 1
Lan Router / Lan Gateway address 192.168.1.254
Site 2
Lan Router / Lan Gateway address 192.168.2.1
The manual does not offer much advice in setting up the router in this scenario. I'm wondering if anyone has applied this type of setup and if so, based on above sites - how do I setup the router so that I can see beyond the remote Br500 onto the other site lan.
thanks

Hello,
You can set up the BR500 behind another router. Some things to consider when setting it up. BR500 requires access to VLAN 1 for management purposes with Insight as well as access to the following ports for communication with the device as well as Insight VPN 18083, 11883, 8883, 3308, 50069, 443.
