SAP is normally using a SAProuter. That means, that only one IP Adress
on your site needs to be "known". The rest is done via this SAProuter.
The real advantage of this SW-program is that it can connect networks
with duplict IP adresses very easy - what is not the case with VPN.
Even with ISDN SAP needs to have unique adresses in order to reach you
and not a different client. So, SAP provides with the licenses 2
official IP adresses for free. You bind one of them to the SAProuter
server and you are fine. This is true for IDSN. With VPN and SNC you
usually have your own official IP adresses from your ISP.
btw: Setting up SNC is really simple and can be done in 1-2 hours ...
(jusst read the docu at http://service.sap.com/saprouter-sncdoc
If everything works, you can already use it for OSS and in order to
make it happen, that SAP dials in this way, you have to open an OSS
ticket for mentioning your IP adress - that's it.
To the outsite, you have to just open the port 3299 on that adress to
the SAP server.
