Static Routes or HUB and SPOKE

I have 3 Netgear Routers.
R1 is a FVS336G at the Main Office Hub Server (PDC) AD Global Catalog
R2 is a FVS336G at a remote Satellite Office Server (DC) AD Global Catalog
R3 is a SRXN3205 at a remote Satellite Office Server (DC) AD Global Catalog

All three servers are in Active Directory and need to communicate with each other. R2 and R3 Can't talk.

My VPN Tunnels are between R1 <> R2 and between R1 <> R3

R3 and R2 can not see each other through the tunnel.

My issue is Active Directory can't replicate between R2 and R3.

Is the solution found in creating Static Routes or do I need to create a VPN Tunnel directly between R2 R3 ?

Regards,

  • I'm going to answer my own question:

    I have 3 chioces:

    Turn on RIP
    Build tunnel between R2 and R3
    Create Static Routes

    I chose to build another VPN tunnel between the two remote sites. The other two choices, RIP or Static Routers, will route traffic through the R1 router increasing traffic on an already busy router.
