We have four office locations that we need to VPN together all of them
have NS5GT Firewalls. What we want at all four location is the same LAN
IP scheme.

For eg; 10.1.2.x scheme

All locations have static WAN IP. What kind of VPN would be recommended
and if possible steps to implement them at all four locations.

Thanks

Why do you want the same subnet at each location ?

We would like to share resources at each of the location like
printers/servers so on and so forth and would like all of them to have
the same IP scheme at each location making it one big VLAN.

Not a good idea even if you could even get it working, which I doubt. A
different subnet at each site like 10.1.2.x 10.1.3.x etc all subnetted
to a class C 255.255.255.0 is the way to do this. Whatever VPN device
you choose will be able to route between the sites. If you got it
working then the broadcast traffic would swamp the wan links anyway.

Simon,

Thank you for your response, what kind of VPN would you recommend
between all these four sites, the major application we require to
access on all the location is pretty huge and runs off of an extensive
oracle database. So we need to maximize on the T1 bandwidth, would you
recommend site-to-site VPN policy based or router based, or any other
form of VPN?

Hi,
without knowing the details, I'd go for the central site (one with the
database) as a hub, each remote site going into that with a vpn tunnel.
Then a terminal server at the central site to service the remote users.
MPLS might be worth a look, depending on size.
