Good day all,
pls I am a startup mini ISP, I assign private IPs to my customers and I NAT them to the internet, a new customer is requesting a public IP from me, how can I assign a public to him using below parameters
my BTS upstream parameters: IP: 62.71.25.226/28, GW: 62.71.25.225
all inputs are much appreciated
Hi, to assign public IP to customers, you need to configure NAT from their private network to a public IP in the range 62.71.25.226/28. Make sure you set up the correct gateway and routing for the public IP.
How exactly is your border gateway configured with all those public IP addresses? Do you have to set them (each individually) on WAN interface? Or are they actually routed towards your router by using one of IP addresses as gateway (e.g. 62.71.25.226)? If IPs are routed, then it’s possible to “forward” one to customer router without using NAT. If IP’s are not routed (so they are all set on WAN interface), then you’ll have to use NAT.
I’d be very wary about dedicating public IP addresses to individual customers, depending on how ISP delivers you “your” IP addresses you may only have 12 addresses to spare.
concur with MKX, typically one gives them maybe a private IP address schema
a. by allocating VPN/subnet to each client
b. by pppoe ( I think, this is what most people use ).
Perhaps ask why the client needs a public IP, it may be a matter of forwarding a port to his IP address…
Remember any abuse of the internet, crime committed, threats made, etc. etc. will fall on you, you will get arrested not them.
