I have a hotspot setup with 192.168.5.x given out to users.
We have some extra Static IPs from our DSL service I want to give out to a few of the Hotspot users. Can I do this? and how do I force the hotspot to give lets say MACID: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff IP: 108.xxx.xxx.xxx ?
I dont want to give them a 192.168.5.x at all.. if possible.
You would have to setup up static leases in the DHCP->Lease for these customers; and add another network in the DHCP → Network.
Not sure if this is possible. You would have to experiment. You may want to hand certain customers static DHCP leases and then do separate one to one NAT rules for their IP addresses. Not sure if this would in hotspot. You would have to experiment. Turn address translation off in the hotspot probably but making sure pools are set to none. You have to do that in two places in the hotspot config.
Are the public IP addresses you want to assign to clients on your WAN interface, or are they routed to you via a different IP network on your WAN interface? If they are routed, you can do your scenario. If they are not and are directly on your WAN interface: do you own ALL the IP addresses in the IP network on your WAN interface, with the exception of the provider gateway IP, or is it a network you share with other users? If you own all of the IPs you can enable proxy ARP and do your scenario. If you share the network there is no way to directly assign those IPs to your customers, and you have to assign them a private static address and then statically NAT those privates 1:1 to the public IPs on the WAN interface.
If your scenario is feasible as determined above the easiest thing to do would be to create a second network for those customers and to run a second Hotspot on it, and to statically configure the clients or CPEs with the public IPs and to not configure DHCP at all.
Heres what I have:
DSL (Bridge Mode) —>MT493 —Wireles Link to–> MT450 --Wireless again to customer–> CPE
right now the 450 gives out 192.168.5.x to customer. I want to be able to take a static IP we have on the Bridged DSL (we have a block of 20 right now) and give to that customer.
So far what ive been able to do on the 493 side is run it using PPPoE to a CPE here at the office, so its just plugged into the 493 directly. I was thinking great I can just do the same at the customers house. Till I relized I cant tell PPPoE to connect to server IP blah blah.. Like you do to PPTP.
To throw another wrench into this. 450 to customer is setup as HOTSPOT and I need to maintain that until we are able to change all customers to PPPoE or somthing Else. (bandwidth control needed)
That didn’t really answer the questions in my post a such. I am assuming that since there is no subnet mask that has exactly 20 usable IPs in a network and since you refer to the IPs as sitting on the DSL bridge you cannot put public IPs directly on the customer equipment as I outlined in my first post.
Configure them with static private IPs and configure 1:1 NAT as outlined in the NAT manual on the wiki. There are no other changes required in the Hotspot.
I have a customer thats admit to get the “real” IP on his equipment.. if it was anyone but this guy i would say to bad but hes paying 70% of my income right now… Could PPPoE do this? (on top of the Hotspot) ?
Not without routed IPs, or owning all of the WAN network.
vlan ?
VLANs have nothing to do with this. Ask your provider for routed IPs and this whole thing becomes very easy.
