My suggestion is to look at bridging the two interfaces and maybe useing PPPoE to hand out some static publis addresses. It might work, but I am new to PPPoE. Can anyone tell either of us what the pros/cons of a PPPoE session are as compared to PPP.
Newb question:
If I am being authenticated via radius, how is that different from PPPoE?
PPPoE or PPTP would work. both allowing you to create tunnels to an endpoint, so as long as your client can get to your endpoint you can assign them any ip address you’d like (whether you network is bridged or routed).
RADIUS allows you to manage users from a central location (server) and grant them access to services such as PPP, PPTP, PPPoE.
both layer 2 protocols encapsulate packets and have methods of encryption, and compression..
EDIT sorry PPPoE doesn’t offer encryption.. that’s one of the advantages to using PPTP over PPPoE. Also, when using PPTP the device you have as the endpoint will require more CPU power as it has to encode/decode packets.
You’re still going to get a Private IP addres 10.xx.xx.xx.. what you need to do is setup 1-to-1 NAT so that the MT maps a public IP address to one of your private IPs. You’ll also want to setup a reservation for the users that require static public IPs in the DHCP server so they get the same IP address everytime. The solution posted earlier with the src/dst-nat will work. I didn’t look over the exact syntax, but essentially that is what you need to do. Check the manual for more examples.
Right, the pc still has the private ip, but when I do to a page that will show me what the world sees, my IP is that of the MT router interface. Not the one that I am trying to nat thru. The pages that I am using to lookup my IP are http://www.ipchicken.com and iceman.30below.com.
Do I need to add the public IP that I want nated thru to the public interface on the MT?
looks fine… I don’t know if i mentioned it before, but you’re going to want to create a reservation for that private address on your DHCP server (unless you’re using static IP’s) so that particular user gets the same private IP everytime.
yup, it looks good, but it is still reporting the primary interface, the .60.
If my client needs to have a public that works both ways for remote access to his local server and use the same ip to connect to a remote server it is not working as needed.
Well, right now the client is me and the cpe is my laptop sitting next to me. I did reboot it, made sure the connection was cleared in MT and reconnected. Checked with 3 different ip reporting sites to no avail. Still .60
I have a buncha clients working right now with no problems.. and your configs look fine..
what comes first on your src-nat rules? put the masquerading rule at the bottom of the list and your src-nat rule at the top.. see if that makes a difference..
I tried moving the rule to the top and no good. Also tried disableing all the other src-nat rules. The only one running is the one I need. Still no good.
I think I will stop the the day. My desk is taking quite a beating from my head.
